Ren: My '92 Civic

[arcosine]

I had gotten some adjustable camber ones off a prelude on ebay..

preloaded --- its on the rack and pinion housing -- has a big lock nut -- opposite the steering wheel input.

[Sven7]

Manual says:

Preload- A predetermined load placed on a bearing during assembly or by adjustment.

So, it tightens up a bearing in the steering system. I might try that after the tie rod end stuff.

Set up a deal to buy some 14" Honda HX wheels from a local guy for 50 bucks. Apparently they're like 11lbs per wheel? Winter is gonna be fun!

[Sven7]

Springs came! Just a matter of getting a spring compressor and a helper.

Oh and the ECU is marked February 1992 so it's definitely pre-OBD.

[Ecky]

Honda used "OBD0" even on many of their late 80's cars. You won't be able to plug a scangauge into it but there are still electronic controls and error codes.

[Sven7]

MPGuino, then?

[Sven7]

Front shock assys came out pretty easily. I broke a 14mm Craftsman socket.

Rears, I sheared off the bottom nut on each side. So I'll have to punch those bolts through somehow and get new ones. No broken tools there though.

Going to get a spring compressor and new bolts/nuts tomorrow, and trade in that socket.

[Ecky]

Hah, wow.

I'm using an MPGuino made be a forum member and I'm quite happy with it.

[some_other_dave]

MPGuino it will have to be. They seem like pretty good stuff. I built one, but didn't get it installed in the CRX before I sold it.
