Cheapest performance mod yet..!!!!!
I had a persistent vibration on my steering wheel as highway speeds, have had it since some guys stole my car about two years back and went farming with my car onto vertical pavements. I got her back, but she just was not the same, vibration and all, and I couldn't figure out what it was... I did alingment, checked CV joints, suspension, just about everything. I even checked if one of the axles weren't bent... nada, nuffing, zilch. And she was lazy in low revs... she would only haul when I planted my foot, and even then she felt like she was straining...
Last week, I made a U-Turn in a parking lot, and suddenly my left front wheel just locked, and the car came to a halt with a grating noise... &%$#@$%... so I get out, check it out and see my left lower balljoint split in two, and my lower control arm is resting on my rim, on the inside, causing the wheel to lock. Thank the gods it didn't happen on the highway, I would probably have died and taken others with me... So the last two days I spent replacing both lower balljoints, as well as CV boots. Now she goes in a straight line, she does not strain against her own suspension, and her low-down power is back. Her off-the-line is much quicker. sad thing is, she was "serviced" by "honda experts" not too long ago, and even they missed the balljoints... Best and cheapest mod I've done yet... |

I always thought the cheapest mod involed natural methan gas, a long tube, and a can of chili... Man, I was WAY off!
