We need to check all your grounds. If the grounds are good we can run through your fuses with a multi-meter. Something is killing it. PS you have a cool phone that has access to Last.fm.

LOL Nate. Guess it just couldn't handle Bieber

Yeah Ryan good place to start. It has been barely starting lately as well. Sounds like a weak battery

So played gt5 last night on a monster screen heads up with 2 steering wheels. It was a blast!

Anyone got a good place to shop for Hardrace products?

[coolhandluke]

Facebook told me.

What do you need to replace? I bought the HardRace kit and used two pieces...the compliance bushings and the RTA. Everything else I replaced with new parts. A total waste IMO.

Jack should have my box of my remaining HardRace pieces. Let me know what you need. If I still have the bushings I'l sell you whatever bushings you need for cheap.

Last night I looked for people racing online but no luck. Saw the pic Eric posted on FB. Do the folding TV trays work okay for steering wheels?

[Comp97GSR]

Why was the rest a total waste? Are the bushings crap or because you chose to use OE bushings?

The FLCA bushing where the shock fork goes through is torn. Pretty sure thats what causing my clunking. I was considering buying the whole control arms from Hardrace, but they are $250ish for the pair(if they make them for DC2, the price was for EK), and at that point I'd want to replace the FUCA and RLCA/UCA, as well as the RTA bushings eventually. Its gonna really depend on how much getting the bushings pressed in would cost, since its only $250ish for the full kit.

I think they work okay. Erik, Jay, Mark, and some others users use similar setups.

In my case, yes, because the front LCA's on my shell were from a civic, so I replaced the FLCA, both UCA's, and RLCA's with aftermarket components.

I think the FLCA's were what Will was wanting. My friend who pressed in the RTA's lost them (lied to me). Sorry.

What FLCAs did you get? How much?

[coolhandluke]

I went with Hardrace units from Kiwi. They are OEM units with HardRace bushings pressed in. Nothing spectacular or fancy. They rust in superb fashion.

that's a pretty sweet project...... thanks for the link

[elambz]

Hahaha. I just found a website (http://www.velocityshop.com) that actually had them on their website so I could price things. They have the front and rear camber adjustable UCAs for $270 and the FLCA for $150. Other than RLCA and RTA, what other bushings are there in the kit?

[coolhandluke]

Front compliance, rear compensator (toe). I wouldn't even try to press in rear toe arm bushings. Just replace them. I'd do the same for RLCA. OEM arms with bushings are ~$42 a side. RTA are totally worth it and should be bought/replaced for most cars with over 120k. (generalized statement)

[coolhandluke]

This deal isn't bad:

[elambz]

So just go with OEM on the RLCA and rear compensator?

[coolhandluke]

That is up to you. I would buy new RLCA's from Honda and sell your used units on NWP. They go for more than what new OEM units cost used on that site. I would go with HardRace rear Toe arms but only because of my tracking application. You don't track but once a year so I would go with OEM or HR, whichever is cheaper.
