EF Squad's WhoresLounge

[BTLFED]

Bigdare23 is in control of the EF meets so hold your horses LOL most of all the most important "VIP" LIRL (me of course) EF owners are down but once their up and running the meet will be planned for.

Actually, I am THE VIP EF owner. Why?

1) I have been into import tuning longer than the rest of you
2) I have owned my EF longer than the rest of you
3) I have the power to ban all of you

Supermod FTW

[BTLFED]

Halfwit is right.. the ZC Turbo is probably slower than my old B16!

You make yourself look dumber and dumber every time you post.

You are a disgrace to CRX owners everywhere.

[BTLFED]

oh speakin of bushings. the big one on the rear trailing arm that has the bracket on both sides. that is replaceable right. ill take a pic of it but im in class. if you know what im talking about then you might not need a pic.

Yes it can, but it has to be pressed in and out.

[BTLFED]

I know there's an aftermarket bushing kit (I forgot the brand), just search the web for that kit or nopi. If u want oem just goto honda or your local auto parts store.

Do NOT put urethane rear trailing arm bushings in your car. The limit travel and bind. Call OPM in Cumming and get a pair of Mugen rear trailing arm bushings.

i was wondering about that myself. the urethane ones look like a solid piece and the OEM honda one seemed like it was made to flex.


OPM... which is? could they install em for me....or at least take out the old ones.... well old one... i attempted one of them and now im left with a shit load of rubber around the inner portion of the ring.... any thoughts about how to get it out?

I put 'em in...I haven't had a problem. I wondered about it myself and read about how it could actually HURT your handling to put them in. I've got urethane all the way around my car, and it handles like a top. Hasport's built CRx even uses them...

I promise you'll be fine to throw them in the fire. They won't pop, explode, or smoke your house out. I did mine this way. Just toss them in, leave them about 20 minutes to burn everything out, and pull them out with a hook or pick or something. Give 'em like 30 minutes to cool.

Then you are the exception to the rule, and Hasport's built CRX goes straight.

I have all urethane bushings in my CRX too, but not in the rear trailing arms.

I wouldn't mind you and I doing a head to...wait, shit, you've got a rex, and I've got a civ hatch. I wonder if maybe there's a difference in that? I wish I could get real stats somewhere, but everywhere i"ve read up is just opinion.

Hasport's car I thought also did road race?

Depends on which one. I know they built one to drag race.

And for the results of a head to head with us, everything on our suspension would have to be the same except the trailing arm bushings. Otherwise there is too much room for internet nerds to bring in speculation. The main difference between our cars other than that is just the wheelbase and the fact that I have an 88.

[Halfwit]

fuck goin on in here.

[BTLFED]

fuck goin on in here.

I'm thinking of banning either you or Kevin.

Discuss.

[EvasiveEF9]

Don't be biased. Ban both.

ban the one with indiglo gauges.....

[BTLFED]

Soo....I'm guessing that is Kevin?

If that's true I should ban him based on principle.

[toonz]

LOL awwww man please don't ban me LOL

[toonz]

ban Halfwit ftw

[bigdare23]

All hail to the great BTLFED!!! {Bows down)

Ban them all {points at Kevin and Casey} LOL



You need to get your REX together so we can get a shot at that crown BTLFED! LOL

Shit, I will go ahead and tell you I am not the fastest, but I guarantee you I have the best all around rex on this site.

ALL HAIL BIGDARES 94 WHP !! WOO HOO...

I even have more than that LOLZ

[EvasiveEF9]

Me too...buuuut...I'm swapped.

[Halfwit]

LOL i have 3x that, and then some.

I only know of one that they built. It may be more than that, though...I just looked at how it was built.

How is your suspension set up? PM me if you want. I've got all my stuff listed on page 2. And I hear you on the internet nerds. I'd just like to get a side-by-side run with that crap just to get a real comparison. Who knows, if I get time this summer, I may get bored and swap them out and run the same loops 2 or 3 times (more to compare to). Then we'll know for real.

Differences include weight (i'm lighter) wheelbase (you're shorter, and I THINK a hair wider) but I think most all else 88 to 91 are the same. And if yours is an Si you've got the weight of a roof and sway bar (again, the nerds would call technicality) and I've got rear discs and teggy fronts (more weight) so...I mean...hard to say. I'll probabyl do a set up this summer. Come out for it if you wanna help and witness it. I wouldn't mind an extra help in the garage to swap bushigns.

lol i just got a bone stock sohc ZC swap. like 120 hp...something like that

They have one with a K and one with an H if I am not mistaken.

As far as suspension, since mine is an 88 I have the rear LCAs that are the same as the Type R which helps out by causing passive rear steer at the limit. Mine is an Si, but it is the lightest of all the Si's of my body style. I still haven't put my rear discs on LOL

Try to explain that rear steering for me a little better...?

If you need help with that rear disc swap, let me know. I don't mind helpin' out at all.

[SL65AMG]

Joker- im guessing you have done a few rear disc swaps, therefore youve probably pulled a few bushings out/put em in. what do i do to get rid of the excess rubber after ive pushed the metal piece out?

LoL, I told you! Throw it in the fire place or take a torch to it. That rubber will burn off if put under high heat for a minute. It dries it out. So once it cools, just get a sponge or whatever. The leftover rubber will literally crumble and fall out...

From this article http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/pr...da_crx_part_1/ :

The 1988 CRXs are slightly lighter than any of the subsequent years' models, thanks to their conventional seat belts. 1989 and later cars had door-mounted passive restraints that required stronger, heavier doors. The '88 CRX also has a different rear suspension than any other CRX. Honda's unique sort-of-double-wishbone, sort-of-trailing-arm rear suspension uses a toe control link and a compliance bushing in concert to give a passive rear steering effect.

On the 1988 models, the passive rear steering is exceptionally strong, making them extremely nimble. On later years, much of the rear steering was tuned out, bringing handling more in line with conventional front drivers. Many road racers prefer the earlier car's more aggressive handling, but warn that they must be tuned differently. A big rear anti-roll bar that you would use on any other Civic or CRX is an invitation for snap oversteer on an '88. Most CRX experts agree that for a street car, '89 and later cars are preferable.

Also unique to the '88 rear suspension is a rear main lateral link or lower control arm (what you call it depends on whether you consider it a trailing arm or double wishbone suspension) of stamped steel rather than the cast iron arms of later cars. The rear shock attaches to the control arm with an eyelet, rather than the fork used on later cars. The only other U.S.-market Honda to use this style rear control arm is the Integra Type R, though many of the high-performance Japanese models used this rear arm.

Also found this in the Grassroots Motorsports forums:

The 88 LCA's are "JDM" because that style of formed sheetmetal LCA was standard throughout the run in Japan, as well as other parts of the world. It has a "feature" called passive rear-steer, which basically allows the rear tire to toe out under compression, making for a more tail-happy car. After one year in the US they decided that a car that tossable had no business being in the hands of American teenagers with no real training, so they went to a rigid cast LCA that does not allow the rear to toe out like the sheetmetal one. In theory the 88 is the best handling for this reason. In practice, it's not an advantage unless you're at the stock alignment settings. The later cars can be statically toed out to be just as tossable.

Those quotes explain it way better than I could lol

the ENTIRE trailing arm..... in the fireplace????? damn dude. im not talking about the 5 inch bracket im talkin about the WHOLE trailing arm.... the ring thats left has rubber all inside it.

Use a propane torch on the hole in the trailing arm.

[EvasiveEF9]

So basically get a rear sway bar, or get 88 rear LCA's...

I love how they say it has no business in the hands of a teenage american driver, LoL!

Seems, though, that if I've got an alignment done, it'll also compensate for those LCA's...

Technically you can, but why worry about it when I already have an 88? I'm lazy lol

I mean throw JUST that ring in. Not the trailing arm itself...

Wait a minute...did you take out JUST the bushing, and NOT the whole bushing assembly?

HAHAHA i see what i did wrong.... what a noob. yeah i took out JUST the bushing from the ring.... not the ring from the trailing arm....

HAHAHAH
