the lifestory of a DC5S...

[crashprash]

i was thinking of moving my front number plate and was wondering if fixing it using the holes in the lower grill section at an angle facing down is illegal? or what about on the side?

i've heard good words about jax at liverpool, off the hume highway

hmm jax seem to be able to do everything..theres one in haberfield which is closer to me and open on weekends

jax is good, prash lives in north ryde i think.

lol how did u figure that?

any good places to fit tires balance/align? they would also have to be able to change the ride height on my car and install a camber kit...i know every1 will say heasmans but they arent open on weekends so that kinda sucks

[crashprash]

i think at your height if you run 1.5 on the rear you wont really need to roll your guards, do you have any ballpark figures of what alignment you wish to use??

im not sure if im at stock height anymore :S..feels lower than before..(maybe just wishful thinking or maybe the coilovers settled in or something..will have to check when i take it in..how do i measure the ride height? stock ride height?)...for camber at rear nothing more than -1.5. ideally -1. maybe -2/-2.5 at front?

i was thinking this way I dont have to unnecessarily roll my guards if I dont need to..?? is it just a fixed process? or is there varying amount to how much u can roll the guards?.. stevan only got his rear guards rolled i think..and since im on stock height i was thinking this way would be better for me?





with the battery i was thinking of getting the exide extra..arent lightweight batteries not recommended for street applications as they cant handle audio and ac fan requirements?..i also the fitment guide for the oddysey and it says i have to put it sideways in my car and the tie down needs modifying:S (this was the general car battery)..not sure abt the racing 1s. racing: http://www.odysseybattery.com/extremespecs.html for regular: search for acura rsx

In anticipation of my new wheels and tyres which should be here this week, i am thinking abt what i need to do in order to get them fitted...

i was thinking take wheels, tires and camber kit and get it fitted,balanced and aligned (only use the camber kit if need be) and then check for scrubbing at the workshop, if any scrubbing put stockies back on, drive home and get gaurds rolled and then just swap the rims since the alignment etc has already been done...good/bad idea?

this way i dont have to uneccesarily install the camber kit and roll guards

swapped my front selbys sway bar for a ep3 bar with tk38. And for all those guys bagging me out for my ride height he can vouch for me when i say my driveway is steep! (he had to jump start my car )..anyways back to the bar..i have a lot more header clearance now so no scraping issues on an incline. My battery also seems to be dying (cheapest place to get an exide??)..my ecu and alarm prob accelerated its death as well...my wheels should be here next week with my tires soon to follow!...now gotta find time to get everything fixed...im wondering if i still need to roll my front and rear guards since i will be running a 235 at near stock height?
