That bearing sits at the top of the spring. You can see the blue in the pictures. Below the camber plate. That is the radial mount I believe. I found the timken version of that bearing it’s $36 for a 2 pack on Amazon Or $32 for a pair of skf bearings off Amazon

Rear suspension done on monday. Was honestly a piece of cake. Not sure why I was crying before. Took maybe 2 hours including moving stuff around and stopping to yap with a neighbor for a bit We have a very aggressive rake right now lol. I bet the car will rotate like hell Was frosty today...

Browsing the YouTube today I came across this video series a local competitor did. He hired a camera guy/crew to do the filming and editing and he must’ve spent a few bucks cause the quality is actually pretty high. I’d love to do my own series next season but it’ll be a lot more ghetto since...

I just gotta do it. Do the fronts. Flip the car around then do the rears. Sucks but I just gotta do it

I’ve got an impact gun of course but there’s no way to get it to that rear lower bolt. It’s just way too tight in there. An impact wrench would be cool but they are usually not that torque heavy? Idk. Weather this weekend is junk. Cold and snow/rain so this is gonna suck. Thinking I’ll...

There is the lower strut bolt in the rear of civic. Some how some way it just ends up so fucking tight it’s a nightmare to remove. I’ve done this 2 or 3 times now and those lower bolts always suck. I just need to get this shit done and stop crying about it. This weekends mostly a write off...

same BS as the speed, divorced rear so theres some fucking around required back there. I dont remember exactly why now but there is one part of the install thats a major pain in the ass. I guess i just need to get it done One of my OEM rear springs is broken as well so thats annoying. Not that...

Realizing I need to remove my Coilovers and ship those off to be rebuilt. Part of my sponsorship deal. I’m way too lazy though lol front is dead easy rear is a pain in the ass and I just don’t wanna but I really should. This setup has seen 4 seasons now totaling in 51 events plus whatever...

yea classing would love that LOL apparently some changes are coming for 2026 cant wait to see how shit that is

With my history and my engines being 100% consumable I am definitely gonna keep a spare at all times lol. The cost of doing business I guess! Thankfully the entire world is obsessed with k24 leaving the k20’s for me!!

damn that makes it very clear. Lighter fluid is cheap and easy enough to get. Works amazing looks like Yea this needs to happen asap. I would like the parts horde to grow. Got some good stuff here and these k20's seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper. The space in my garage where i was gonna...

good tip. i think i heard this somewhere before. ive never tried it though

Yea we get screwed all the time. No more real brake clean has been killing me since its basically all i can use in my garage to clean stuff up. The chemical guys product was crazy good at removing the really stubborn stuff. I havent found anything that works as well yet. Will revisit in 2026...

I used to use a chemical guys product called decon. Basically a straight wheel acid. As aggressive as it gets. That stuff worked amazing. It’s no longer available in Canada which sucks. Lately I’ve been using basic stuff from Canadian tire. Meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner. It seems to...

It has been a season for sure. Always seems to be with me anyways lol. I will definitely post up event dates when I have them! Would be cool to meet up again. There should be a few good mosport events next season

Last washing of the season. Ready for storage. Wheels have been washed and brought indoors for storage. Those tires still have a race in em so better to not ruin them. I always make sure to get the corrosive brake dust off the wheels and car before storage. It was caked. Now to get ready for...

I always run a stagger but yea the age of the tires were too far apart. heat cycles and all. Its ok. It was a good day regardless. I will also add that the car is far from easy to drive. It’s not setup to be easy. I wouldn’t put a single one of my friends in the driver seat. Not even the...

Front tires were 1 season old and donated to me by a buddy. They were brand new last season and he did maybe 4-5 track days on them. Rears are from 2021. Not sure on the date code. Probably 2020. They were my street tires that saw the odd track day. They are very low on tread and have probably...

My thoughts is when the rear is most loaded up? One of our theories is it’s just too much setup for the tire. Even earlier in the season with the rs4’s the car was always a little extra loose. Never this bad but still more so then when I run my competition tires. Too much rear bar for the grip...

haha yea it was a little spicy. Tons of fun though and some great lessons in car control. Yeap lol they will be street only/rollers now. They are cooked Its amazing how tires work lol. I have my fast setup in the truck but decided it wasnt worth swapping as this wasnt a serious hardcore event...
