Raf99 : 1993 Accord EX

[Raf99]

False I have the speedZone one and it hasn't sagged and owned it since first day of sale.

I'm hoping location and temperature play a role in the issue.

Tint will heat it up more imo. A little triangle piece in the.middle is a good idea, you could make it a bit short so it doesn't extend all the way down so its less visible. Perhaps two dividing the open sections into thirds would be better. Get some black plastic, sand the underside, and use good slow set epoxy and done.

Hmm, maybe ya (regarding the tint). I was thinking of the supportive structure the film would add. Could tint the underside of it too.

This i do not understand yet. It looks like it should go this way:

But instead it has to go this way, which doesn't fit properly:

Look proper?

Have you tried to just unscrew the nut. It looks like nut on the bolt. Unscrew it. set bolt on one side then nut on the other and tighten the nut.

The thin nut un-screws to my knowledge. I'll see if I can find someone else who has done it.

Finally made some good progress on the car today. Removed the drivers side shock, trailing arm, hub assembly and took that apart. Got the new passenger side trailing arm, brake line setup done (see below pics). Finished the new brake line needed on drivers side going to proportion valve. Put the last coat of undercoat on the new gas tank.

Yep, that's better



Had one rear lower shock tower bolt that would not come out! Spent two weekends trying. Finally took out the whole shock/trailing arm assembly and went after the bolt this way. Still!! would not come off. Used penetrating oil, hammered, air gun, long bar, nothing!

....... so now i have to drill the other part of it out of the shock...


Still eliminating rust where the new gas tank will go. This is prepping for the por-15. (http://www.por15.com/
I should be putting this stuff on tomorrow!



Undercoating on the right (not rust):




I also started on the drivers side wheel well (sanding)

It's going outside the car, tint would not last long. Plus I doubt it would really add noticeable stiffness too it, its like saying plastic wrap will make a paper plate stiffer, it's still going to do what it wants to XD

WOW you twisted a hardened bolt... that's insane..

weeeeeeeeeeee..........

New bent brake line going above the tank...


Thanks to ferenza for mentioning por-15. Here it is in action.
First you use the cleaner and it gets rid of all grease and crap on the car.


Then you use the Prep and Ready which makes the steel coarse like this:




And the results of the first coat look like this:
