i spent 800 on my quaife. i know it will take the abuse without an issue.i know when go to instal it, its a drop in affair,using 0-1 honda shim,obx on the other hand have bad clearance issues,where custom shims need to be used,and they have an issue with axles backing out of them.and or leaking fluid. besides you should replace the bolts anyways when you add a new lsd to any trans.because if they are reused theyre stretched,and will stretch more, and will give you a hard time when you go to torque them,and or losen and ka-boom as the saying goes "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR".


now back to WHAT "IM" DOING!!!!!!!!!!!

Told you so lol


Oh, and the Mugen bushings you want, I found energy suspension ones on ebay the other day just in my weekly browse...are the mugen's poly or rubber? The energys were only ~30-40 from what I remember.

[vsm96ek]

Told you so lol

not really, ive had it a month now,but thanks anyways

mugen are hard rubber, poly trailing bushings cause binding on the suspension travel/toe/camber. mugen are what i had on the coupe. worked great,noticable diffrence. so im getting them again.

Joe, have you seen those new PasswordJDM Rear Trailing Arm Bushings?

[vsm96ek]

THEY'RE NOT NEW!!!!ive seen them (2 yrs ago) before password asked pci, the people who actually make them to slap a password decal on them.to call them the "passwordjdm spherical bushings"(SAME GOES FOR THOSE PASSWORD FLOOR PLATES,PCI BEEN MAKING THEM AND PASSWORD JUST SLAPS A DECAL AND CALLS IT THEIR OWN,AND SELLS THEM FOR $40.00 MORE. PASSWORD IS ANOTHER COPY CAT COMPANY TRYING TO PUT THE JDM TAX ON OTHER PEOPLES PARTS).....everybody that races the honda challenge series and road racing love them(PCI). not practical for every day street driving.very harsh ride.mugen are like a oem replacement,same design. just harder rubber, and alot more material, theres a big diffrence ,side by side when you look at them...............do the reserch "i HAVE MANY TIMES OVER".

[AntMan401]

Wow, sorry. Don't have to get all jumpy on me Joe. Just asking a question.

And Technically the PasswordJDM ones are New. Password put there name on it a few Months ago.

[vsm96ek]

new is in the eye of the beholder. PCI made this product under 2 yrs ago. password just sourced them from pci within the last 6 months,and slapped a password decal on them.since passwords been making headlines in racing. NEW to password shur,New to the world negative.

i cant commit to being jumpy, because i wasnt, i was stating the obvious, i answered your question with known facts,truth and blunt words.nothing more nothing less. it wasnt a lash out. i gave you some info on them and told you to reserch them some more. since you seem to not know much about them.


NOW back to my progress.

update: i just picked up a 129.00 video camera, so i was BORED and fabbed up a camera mount for the main hoop on the cage pics up soon.

[vsm96ek]

i spent $4 total,and about 20 minutes to fab. i had the camera mount and the aluminum.

Nice. Thats a good idea to use the footage you capture to pin point where you can work on things or jsut to see how the run was.

[gasper44]

Thats neat, looks just as good as the 100 dollar ones that companies sell for roll bars. Good ol muffler u-bolt. What did you use an old tripod top? I was going to make one for the passenger headrest with just a flat square/rectangle bar, two holes (for headrest holes), and one allenhead that goes from bottom to top to tighten to bottom of camera. Yours is more bad ass though. lol See how productive you are when your bored and full of burger king?
