Scott's Ek Build: Shaved and Tucked
Wooooo just sold my 17" Drag Dubr17 for $450. Ordering Ground Controls + KYB AGX this week, and going to start rim shopping after they are in over spring break! So pumped I finaly sold these things.
Wow, so I'm about to go to work today. Already 5 minutes late, jump in my car start it, whole fking thing is shaking. What the fk, I get out, pop the hood, push down the spark plug wires on the plugs, still ****ty. Look at my exhaust and you can just see it putt putt putt. Whatever, no time to check codes, grabbed our truck, and got to spend the next 8 hrs at work thinkin what it was, figured it had to be some sort of misfire. Just got home, checked it, misfire cylinder 2. Pulled the spark plug, look fine, so I traced the spark plug wire to the distributer. Pushed on it and it clicked in, runs fine now. How the fk does the plug come loose on the distributer lol, so wierd. I did a compression test like 2 weeks ago, that's the only thing I can think of that I touched the wires, but for it to come off now? It is just wierd. Glad it was nothing big, yay me for my good guess

WOOOO
Ordered my Ground Control coilovers, KYB AGX shocks, Blox front camber kit, and VHT super high heat clear coat for the header. Suspension will all go on over spring break and I will also put in my lower tie bars. Can't wait for my presents to arrive
. I'll also paint the header and put that on over spring break too. This is going to be my best spring break yet, my car will look SOOOO much better. Cost me $825 to order all the stuff, and I'll sell my Skunk2 springs for like $130-140. So pumpoed to get all this ****. I'll have to pm Reaper now for a few questions. And when everything goes on expect tons of pictures!

Are you installing it yourself?
Make sure you have some rear LCAs bolts, and some sort of torch. I would assume that some of the rear lca bolts will seize up in the bushing. When I did mine, both the bolts where the LCA met the trailing arms seized. It was ALOT of fun. /sarcasm.

A buddy and I are going to do this. I'm not pulling the rear LCAs. Only bolt we have to take out is what holds the shock to the LCA.
And like grade 8.8 bolts from hardware store are good, right? I don't want to go to Honda and pay a ton for bolts.

My lca bolts were just fine but on my step brothers EK they seized in a heartbeat. Youre gonna want new ones lol. His were so bad he just ordered new lcas and bolts to avoid the whole torching process lol.
Know the bolt size offhand? I'm trying to make a list of all the bolts I'll need like bolts/washers for adjusting rear camber and what not. Stubborn bolts can face the wrath of my friend's 3/4" drive impact gun haha.
Yea, an impact will not help if the bolt head snaps off. It will snap off if the bolt seizes. I had to heat up the bolt/bushing, then get a big wrench and turn the bolt once or twice, and then repeat the process until the bolts came out. Have fun
