I was very impressed just in the fact that the dude took over an hour to talk to me and just go over everything. His first question was a qualifying question before we got started, "do you know how the damper adjustment knob/needle valve works?" i was like 90% correct. After that, he went full...

Spoke with the suspension engineer today. Over 1 hour long phone call. I was impressed by him showing genuine interest and care. He was asking questions which seemed to be correct in direction. He actually even watched my videos and made comments on exactly the same corners I was planning to...

So I have a meeting set for Monday with the suspension engineer guy over at fortune auto. Thats pretty cool. We’re going to discuss my setup and what we should try. Maybe they have a secret sauce profile for me already I’m not sure. It’s cool that the company is willing to take the time to...

Very cool. Thanks for the suggestion. Didn’t know this was a thing! Maybe worth a shot

yea they seem to move just fine but i can feel the grit in there. Movement isnt the smoothest? IDK its probably just fine. I guess ill go with the less expensive rebuild option since all the "accessories" seem to be in good shape

That bearing basically prevents coil bind. I’ve had coil bind before on cheap Coilovers back on my Hyundai veloster years ago. It’s basically just noise when turning at low speeds. Step one will be to see if I can remove the bearing nicely without damaging the mount. On fortune autos...

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...
