Can you say "G force"

I can't tell what kind of sways those are??

Let us know how the rear goes round the exhaust pipe round da muffla.

[Papa Bear]

You are gonna love those! Nice stuff. I feel ripped off...I only got one flyer and I have tons of friends.:D

These are Suspension Tech Sways for Civic 01+, most would say it's not for our EP's but hey, They FIT!

Front Sway bar is installed dropping down pipe from bottom of header. It's the same thinkness 25-26mm (my millimeter dial is made of plastic so sue me) Stock is light & hollow tube and ST is 2-3 times heavier & solid bar, ST ends are thicker (stiffness is better),nuff said.

X-brace was easy to install if you have a breaker bar (damn I put those sub frame bolts on tight):P

And you still have room to change the oil ;)

Rear sways is the same as the front, 2 end link nuts and 4 bushing bolts, nothing else to remove. Alittle easier than the front. 15-16mm Stock is light & solid and 20-21mm ST is 2-3 times heavier & solid. So the rears are really gonna be stiffer. If you have an aftermarket exhaust, watch out for CLEARANCES between the bars and exhaust. Which is why I have a custom exhaust, that I bent higher than stock to give all kinds of clearance;) Sorry no pics of rears, girlfriend took camera and the kids to the park:( :mad: grrrrrrr.

Hey Port, Those plugs I pulled from the A2 look like OEM ones. Denso Iridium SK22PR-M11, all look good, except the gaps were #1 38, #2 42, #3 41, #4 42. Anyways I put in a new set of Denso IK24's:p pregapped to 29.

[Civicvtec1ps]

nice suspension mods. have fun,+

[PoRT]

dis you run it at all with the OEM plugs? just curious if it ran any different with the properly gapped plugs in there. i never even checked them, i guess i should of thought about that.. thanks for reminding me.. now i have to check the plugs in the K20A. anyone know what the proper gap spec is? i guess i'll just check around.

[bioevolve]

Oh yeah, turning that EP in corners is a hella lots better:D (torture tested it, got sidewall marks to prove it) hehehe. That A2 swap did feel like it's alittle heavier, that is why I did these mods. Now it doesn't dip in front when turning like it used to with stock stuff. Also with fresh plugs again, it feels alittle more peppym like I can really tell hahahaha. Been running with those old plugs until today, it's all good now. I'm happy with it:cool:

OH, FYI. The coils packs (the things that plug on top of the spark plugs) on the A3 and A2 are the same!

As you can see in this pic

there is an oil leak :( coming down to the bottom of the pan from passengerside of motor.
Can't tell which part it's coming from but it's either the crank sensor o-ring and/or the sensor itself......or...... the timing chain's auto tensioner cover which is right above it.......or...... both. Either way gonna fix it tomorrow, using the A3's crank sensor and o-ring and regasketing the auto tensioner cover with High temp red RTV (which I use alot and have been using for years). Hopefully that is the leak.

[bioevolve]

Ok, crank sensor is here

Changed the crank sensor, there is evidence of oil passing by the gasket sealant (honda bond) across the bottom
