I got a blackworks front camber kit and its maxed out.. If i go any lower i will rub tire when i turn. How can i fix the "awkward poke" lol?
Either run a lower offset, slimmer wheels, or more negative camber. You just have the wheel poking out outside the fender. You want it to be flush; at least the top part anyway. That's just my opinion though. I'm not a huge fan of the "hellaflush", "down and out" or "low and poked" scene.

What size sidewall are you running? That would be a big part of why your wheels are rubbing.

There's your issue. If you're running a lower offset it'll help to have a smaller sidewall. Ideally, with the HF cats, you would run a stretched tire on that if I'm not mistaken...?

Plus running donut tires with a lower offset like that looks awkward...

Ok so everyday when i go to work theres a really big incline and no matter how i hit it i always rub and scrape... So on sunday i was trying to take it really slow and accidently stalled my car and it wouldnt turn back on it just kept turning over and would never start at this point im half in the shoulder and half in the right line of a pretty busy road. Cars are honking at me and what not but finally some guys get there and help me push to the side. My dad came and looked at while i was working and checked the fuel pump and fuel filter and it was fine, thought it was the spark plugs and replaced those but that didn't work, then i replaced the ignition coil and it still didn't wouldnt turn on.. After that i gave up and had it toed to the shop. $421 later they said it was the ignition control module. I would of tried to figure out this myself but i needed my car this week really bad and its my daily. So i got a few questions.. Could i have probably replaced my ignition control module myself ? Also my driver side window needs a new regulator idk what that is? I still cant figure out whats wrong with my fog light? and im way too low for my coils so i want to trade my wheels for some with a higher offset so i wont have to run negative camber and my car will be more functionable.

I dont really remember if i have replaced one, but with the proper tools and knowledge technically you could do or replace anything the car needs. None of my cars have eveer seen a shop from swapping motors, mini me's on civics, all the work on the money pit 1st gen dsm etc etc like i said it just alll depends on the space your working with, mechanical knowledge, tools and since its your dd time is always a factor.

you are either leaking, burning it, or both. there is no other way to lose 4 quarts that quick unless a major issue. and you are leaking it if anything. to burn 4 quarts in three days means your car has to run like s**t, no piston rings left, high crank pressure, and a whole lot of driving. but you might have so much oil in your combustion chambers that the compression hasnt been lost yet.

and i would check your coolant, your headgasket could be blown and coming from there. just some things to think about

and holy balloon tires. like 195/65's lol


but overall its looking better and hopefully you find the issue

Yeah I've had the disappearing oil trick done to me before...lol.

It's most likely leaking oil when the oil pressure is high and also could be burning from bad piston rings. That's what's wrong with mine most likely. Planning on rebuilding my B16 once I get another daily

vtec can burn oil like nothing else you have seen. Not vtec itself obviously, but any high mileage vtec engine I have seen does this.

I usually have to put a quart in mine every time I fill up the tank...that's pretty much once a week :(
