Your comment is good. Actually, the issue I had was with poor assembly by King, not with the FD itself.

Your comment is good. Actually, the issue I had was with poor assembly by King, not with the FD itself.
Thanks for the input guys. Yes, I do have the manual and use it frequently. I was hoping to avoid getting out the wiring diagrams, but that looks like the next step.
I haven't made any repairs...
OK, I have managed to fry two Honda CRX ECU's this season. First one was a 90 modified JE Import unit and second was a stock 90 ECU.
After the first one, figured it might just be the ECU chip. ...
Did you get the 4.9 Final Drive and shaft from King? Was it recent or a while ago. I have a King final drive and it had to be modified by King. The newer units (sold but not made by King) fit...
Also, I have successfully moved the spindle from a bent disc trailing arm to a drum trailing arm. It does work and there are plenty of drum trailing arms out there!
Guys,
Thanks for the comments, this was the type a analysis that I was looking for. Fortunately, (or maybe unfortunately) the box is back at King. I think Bones is right, I think that they made...
Let me back up. I built the tranny in 2002 with the ATS 4.73 and a Quaiffe. I did the work myself, so I am somewhat familiar with the inerts of the tranny.
In 2007, my ATS 4.73 cratered. I...
Tom, I was hoping you would reply.
I figured as much on the clutch disk and should have known better.
As for the tranny, I am thinking of doing that. Trying to decide now if I send it back...
OK, I have a ITA CRX. Have had this damn Tranny out way too many times. I've had it to King Motorsports twice now with no fix. I bought a King final drive (4.93) cause I wanted to try the 4.93. ...
Power steering?
Tom,
How soon before you have the other matching side? I need two
Tom,
I've been to your site before, wasn't sure if you were still around. I may need two. I had a pretty decent "incident" at VIR last October. Bent both upper A-Arms as well as the RF upright....
Called OPM, no longer carry. Anyone know where to source these?
Thanks, I did find one!
OK, all you CRX owners with a pile of spare transmissions, I need a mainshaft from a 1989 L3 CRX or Civic transmission. From what I understand, it can be a DX or SI but it must be an 89 as that is...
Have the hardened hubs with new bearings when I built the car. How many races typically before it is a good idea to replace?
Thanks Tom, I can respect that. How about this, does the link above to the compression ratio calculator, in your experience, appear to be accurate? You don't need to share any trade secrets to...
Thanks Tom, but really, if the block and pistons are stock, there is a minimum cc that the head can have in order to be on the 9.6:1 max ratio.
Come on Tom, you build motors. You've had to cc...
All stock, had the seats cut twice now. Can't imagine that makes that much difference though.
I've seen this. Does it appear to be pretty accurate? I'm questioning its accuracy.
After decking the head to increase the compression ratio by .5:1, what CC/cylinder chamber should be expected on the D16A6 head. How much did you deck to get there?

I was thinking more like 2200!
Looks to be about 12 ftlbs less on torque than the Golf III but also about 200lbs lighter. Depends on what the SCCA thinks the competition weight should be.
Am I correct that it is eligible for...
So, where do we think the 2002 Mini Cooper (not S) will be classed when able to? 5 years after production would be 2007, correct?
Too bad it will cost a fortune to find a donor car though.
