LOL

I just noticed that when I go over bumps at very low speed my rear is creaking pretty loud. I assume the spring is rubbing against the top hat? Any fixes for this issue?

I can jump up and down on the trunk and I can't get any noise at all from the springs.

I'm actually getting a creaking/squeaking sound from the rear, too, but I think it's the rubber bushings from my rear anti-sway bar. It only happens when turning, too. I'm not sure.

I think I might have found an answer to my question.


I might not have torqued down the top hex nut enough on the rears, which would cause the coil to move and thats when I hear the infamous 'clack'...

Good call on the swaybar endlinks.

Use some teflon tape on the swaybar and then cup the rubber bushing.  
Lube tends to dry out and if you use the wrong kind, it may eat away your bushing.

Well after the drop and intake I'll be content for a little while. While I pay this stuff off I want to do some relativly cheap cosmetic upgrades like paint matching some parts.

What would you guys reccommend?


*edit*  The first thing I'm going to do is wet sand the headlights on both cars. Their pretty bad off.


I noticed my the paint on part of my roof is fading, maybe the size of a quarter dollar. What can I do to slow down this process?

I think all you can do for the paint is pray. When I first got my car it had about a dime sized mark on the hood. It then evolved into some terrible paint damage all over my hood. Honda will basically tell you to go fuck yourself if you go to them about it. I went to a professional to do all they could to slow the process but it didn't really do anything, I'm not sure what all thy did.  All Honda did was offer me a 11,000 dollar paint job.  It took about a year to get really bad. It has plateued for now, *knockonwood*.

I guess he has money to burn.  I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs.  Fucking amateurs.   :Smiley

Lots of waxing can slow down the "peeling."  What about using vinyl to over the roof?  It should cut down the sun exposure.  

...carbon fiber vinyl + spinner hub caps = Pepboyz has errrr-verything to hook up mah ride!
