So, next upgrades to come are full camber kit, new wheels and tires.

I think I wanna get Skunk2 Camber kit, but not sure. Any suggestions?

I know I want white rota slips. 15" or 16"?

I don't wanna rub though. I work at Discount Tires, so I'm gonna order some Yokohama S Drives. I think I just wanna get 195/50/15. Any thoughts?

Lastly, I wanna do extended lug nuts and studs, but I guess I should wait to do my rear disc?
which discount tire do you work at?

Haha. I know you are, but then I'm going to just want to buy a whole new coilover setup. I guess it would give me an excuse to buy my friends koni/gc brand new setup :p

When are you getting back!?!?!?

I have only heard/read good things about it. I want to have my suspension all done by the end of the year so I can save for my swap in the summer. Suspension first though!

GRRRRR. That's understandable, man. I know she'll be glad to have you back. How is she feeling? Everything clear up at the hospital?

Because its an awesome combo. Suspension was my first. Did it all buy wrenches and rachets, took me an entire day and i busted my upper lip damn near in half in the process lol

She's doing pretty good, getting really excited im coming back. Yeah she got better, still dont know what is was though.

Yeah, my brother dropped his Celica a few months back, and we were seriously out there 'till about 11 at night. Hopefully mine won't be as bad :p I'm gonna have to take my bumper off just to get it up my crappy driveway. Haha.

That's good to hear, but scary all at the same time.

Got my window motors in. They're going in on Sunday. My parents asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said, "Work on my car." Haha.

Soooooooo, It's been a while. Haha. I found out my valve cover was leaking. So between now and my last post I've-

Replaced valve cover
Got new tires
Picked up some extra parts( check my sale thread! http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=216856)

This week I'll be replacing my rotors, brakes, doing a full tune up, and buying some retrofited headlights from mylovehx!

I'm stoked. Next will be some FnF's, camber kit, and then rims and tires. Here's a picture of the new bay after the valve cover gasket and a good washing!



This transmission was covered in oil this morning. Haha.


Let me know what you think!

Slave cylinder...

Looking good. And dont waste your money on a camber kit.

They aren't too expensive though, and shouldn't be too hard to replace, correct?

I am getting the camber kit so I can get a proper alignment though, not for looks. I'm not about to just ruin tires. haha.

Slave is cheap and easy. Make sure to bench bleed it.

And u can get a proper aligbment with out a camber kit. Proper toe angles is what eats up your tires not camber.
