lol word, but dude that exhaust is LOUD. friend of mine had that on his Integra.
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

nice....lets get this on the road again...lol
I will buddy! I'm in the garage working on getting the new steering column in as we speak, had to take a poop break..
If i had a dollar for every time i heard/read this I'd be rich, and I'd owe myself a dollar lol
I'm gonna have to go re-read your build thread again and take notes on all the times you talk about patience!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!

Nice job!
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.
Cheater bar or breaker bar
lol....that sucks....guess i just keep getting lucky
and roma try heating them up with a torch
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!!!
