tonedeaf Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 well, the only issue i had was having to cut into the wall, and the lower control arm bolt busting off and not coming out, it was seized into it... so i got a new one and problem solved LOL Yeah, thats a problem with most older civics and tegs. The bushings and bolts on the LCAs seize all the time. I normally replace them on all the civics and such I work on. http://picperformance.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=108 FTW. That being said, I just lowered my civic with H&R race springs and its a 2.25" drop in the back...shes tucking tire and I dont even have a system yet. May not have been the best idea. I wouldnt lower it than do a big ass system like in mine.. that link you gave me, is that for 2? or just 1.. i see 2 in the pics But yeah, H&R ride beautifully lol i cant be mad at them Yeah, I was planning 4 lvl 5 15s in the backseat...so yeah, may need to up the back springs. And the pic LCAs come with 2. Def. worth the price. The bushings in those, unlike the stock LCAs, are also replaceable.
Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 As long as its sealed...gotta remember...we gotta lotta pounding to do in a couple weeks Anymore funny sounds? dont have the subs back in yet.. left them out so i can take the dustcaps off and put them back on again to see if that was the issue.. well, the only issue i had was having to cut into the wall, and the lower control arm bolt busting off and not coming out, it was seized into it... so i got a new one and problem solved LOL Yeah, thats a problem with most older civics and tegs.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 Any updates on this? Any ideas brewing for the new build? i leave in 2 weeks for my next deployment LOL.. but, the integra will prob get 4 or 8 15s, or maybe 4 18s sealed.. i dunno, i havent thought about it really.. BUT, i have been planning out a SQ build, with 2 or 4 higher end comp sets, 2 12s on either 2k, or 3.5k and a few 8s with 2 175.4s not in the teg though, my next daily driver car The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Why did you tear out the 3 18s again? Just didnt like the way it sounded, or too tired of breaking shit? Looks like I should have room for 3 18" in my backseat and im just looking for ideas and such, your build is the only one I can find with those ideas.

With only one sheet of 3/4" wood all the way around with bracing and sub displacement, I can get 18-19 cubes per and still have about 19 CF of air space. How much port did you have? To get the full use out of the roof I may have to do 45 degree angles from the max 36" to the max 46", so I may lose .3-.5 feet there. Any suggestions you have for the 3 18s since youve done them? That enough port and volume? Im looking at running an SD 8 or 12k @ 18v (possibly stetsom too for their 18v models). Its all going in a 98 civic 4 door. Worse comes to worse I can cut my rear deck a little or build into the trunk a tad for more airspace. If I HAVE to I can stick with 2 18s or 4 15s, but right now 3 18s is the goal. You can take this to PMs if you want. Appreciate any help you can give me.
Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 i personally would do 4 15s, you should have enough room to mount 2 on each side, and be able to still get a huge center port.. my 3 18s had a small port, around 150-180 sq inch.. where as the 2 18s now have i think its 240 or so.. but lvl 5s want 5.5 cubes after displacement, so if you can get that after port, you are fine 50 or so sq inch of cone loss with 4 15s, but a ton more of motor picked up LOL The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......
