Yes!!! My final purchased arrived today, so I can finally get this car together this weekend!



I had to get real parts, I should've learned in the beginning about buying cheap stuff, but its definately worth the peace of mind. Also grabbed these up for a steal! 51$ shipped :rolf:

I got my steering column in this morning, one thing I suggest to do if anyone else does this is to remove the clock spring from the column right off the bat and install it last before mounting the column so you don't break the spring, I re clocked it back to center and installed it, also used a rubber band to keep it centered while installing the column. This step will keep it centered and save you a lot of heart ache


All done =)


Now the easy stuff is outta the way I have to tackle these seized toe arm bolts and swap trailing arm bushings out. Wish me luck!

I got pulled over and given a ticket before going overseas because my exhaust was broken at the time. I tried telling that to cop that cop gave 0 f**ks.

Okay, I may use the torch but I can't really get to bolt just the head, and that may undo its peen and the head will twist off, I've been on the one bolt for 30 min with p. blaster and an impact gun.

I can't fit a breaker under there lol.

Here's the bastard toe arm bolts, the right one won't budge and the same bolt on the passengers side takes the bushing sleeve with it and pulls the bracket out. But my brothers home now so hopefully we can tag team it and get them out.

Use wd40 or pb blaster spray it on there hit it with heat then it will come off believe me if that doesnt work drill through it is only other option. I had problems with my toe arm bolt little while back i finally put heat on it and just hit with wratchet and it popped off no problem.

^ thanks man ill deft give that a shot



Okay well we did the other side first, seeing as how it moved but was still seized to the in er bushing sleeve, well we cut it out with a cutting wheel and pryed it out, but doing so also busted the nut out that the compensator toe arm bolt threads into. Needless to say I thought we were screwed l, but I found a thread on honda tech on how to remedy this situation here's the link:

We got the other side in, now I'm doing the drivers side, it finally backed out but took the sleeve with it, I'm cutting the bolt out with a cutting wheel and as soon as its out I'll get this side together and tourqed properly, then my dad is going to weld the peice we cut out on the other side back. I can't weld well... Lol

Pic of the stubborn bolt!!!
