92 Civic CX - POS Track Car

No s300 interface, no care.

Waiting on some misc bolts, but all the hard work is done. Need to get this wrapped up by the weekend.

The Prosport gauges are decent, however the OP sender has gone out on mine. Seems to be a common issue, but its only like $30 to replace.

You run it off a remote line? I heard they are kinda bulky to support themselves. Might be why they fail. :dunno:

Maybe try their relocation kit and mount the sender to the body?

I've been struggling with working on the car even with having it in my garage now.. But I picked up some Raxles so i can finally get rid of the vatozone axles which like to explode the boots and spring grease everywhere.

If Maeng can't break these, then for sure it's a good product..

Then i got bored and polished my header, wtf is wrong with me.

Soooo, who wants to come over and help me get this thing VIR ready.!

I guess you can't go as cheap as possible with axles. I bought cheap ones off rockauto for the civic and I'm pretty sure they started flinging grease within 300 miles. Funny part is, I can't find the tear (at least with it mounted and the car not jacked up) but I hear them push air when I squeeze them. Oh well, guess I'll run it till they start making noises.

i always ran cheap axles and never broke one, but i suppose the hatch only put ~130 to the ground. with the grip it had, though, that's still a lot of stress.

[navin]

It's not breaking the axles due that's the problem, more along the lines of the boots being crappy on re-man'd Autozone units.. and the grease being used being really crappy.

Heat up the boots of the axles enough, and you got an implosion. Seen people add a vent for their axles, but I'm lazy and Raxles has a lifetime warranty.

i see you're gettin serious about weight reduction. cylinder head removal is a pretty unorthodox technique though.

Oh, is that all?

[navin]

Maintenance parts are no fun..

[Jake]

Rebuilding part of your transmission sounds terrifying. I'll sit that one out. Happy to help with whatever else.

[navin]

Yeah I've never done any internal trans work -- I think the hard part really is just keeping track of all the bits and pieces that come out.. Guess it will be more of a timing thing, if I have the time I'll try it out... if not just give it to a buddy who is a Honda mechanic and let him take care of it for a $40 or so.

[HAULN-SS]

while in there why would you only do 2 gears? seems like i'd spend a little more and do a full rebuild
