ACK! Stepped On!
Ok I've had my auto mod set now for like 3 days and my mom already stepped on it! It made this awful pop and the front end appeared to have same major negative camber. I took off hte steering knuckles and the pins were slightly bent so i did the best i could to bent them back but im a perfectionist and they still just dont look right.
Do i have to buy a whole new chassis just for some new steering knuckles? |
No, you don't have to buy a whole new chassis. See if anyone here has some extra's and you're all set :)
|
Does anyone have a pair to sell or to donate? my car looks like a honda ricer cut his springs and now has an assload of camber!
|
you might be able to straighten the pins perfectly by removing them and using two longnose pliers. They have instructions at QFM to remove the pins. I had this same problem with my LXX.
:) I've seen a lot of cut spring cars that are not hondas:) |
I really messed up my knuckles, by trying to remove the pin. Now my car barely steers! So today I'm goin out to buy a cheap clone, whcih is gonna be used as a parts boat :D

Procrastinator - Just because we are two peas in a pod (procrastinators and perfectionists) I will help you out. I have a Microsizer chassis w/ a trashed PCB on it that I can send you as a donor vehicle. You'll have to pay shipping (of course) but other than that it will be free. |
fastback that would be the coolest man. How much for shipping do you think? Email everything i need to know and we'll work something out. Procrastinator@imstressed.com
|
My email isnt working so, I will post here. Shipping will probably be about $3.00. What exactly do you need again? All thats left of the car is the front half of the chassis with the front steering assebly attached to that and I guess I'll just send that to you. Do you have Paypal? If so, please send the $3.00 to the Paypal account "BlueCB1@hotmail.com" and will ship it then.

sorry fastback i dont have paypal and it would really suck if i had to wait for you to get a money order from me. How about we send at the same time and ill send you 6 dollars instead? If you dont want to do that its fine by me.
|
Sounds good, but wait untill after the holidays please (I have finals this week and I already had to wait at the post office for and hour and a half today).
Sorry Blue Bit, didn't mean to offend you but all the street racers I have ever met (maybe its just b/c I leave in a small town) think they own the road in their V4's and V6's (nto dissing V6's either, but I know some people w/ V6's that are really small) |
OR...
You could send me a Microsizer 150mAH NiMH battery ($4.49) from this site to: Jimmy Howard 158 Kestwick Drive East Augusta, GA 30907 Kind of a trade, you know? Tell me what you think. |
Um, thats just gonna complicate things ill just send you 6 bucks next year.
oh, and im sure you meant I4 not v4 hehe. 4banger turbo cars own.:D |
I drive a civic, and no I didn't cut my springs, I did some mods to make it look a little better (rims, tints, interior accents) perform a little better (all around less airflow restriction) and handle a little better (neuspeed springs, sway bars and again, rims)
I agree that everyone has their own opinion in their own eyes, and I also agree that there are a lot of crappy looking hondas out there giving guys like me a bad name. But don't go slandering all of us, I don't think thats a fair assessment to make. Thanks :) |
No problem, no more street racer cracks from me. Well, one last thing, my friend jsut got a '03 Civic and I can't wait to smoke her (especially since she is pretty much only doing body mods). It'll be so fun. Oh, and would I get made fun of if I went to a street race in a '66 Mustang?
