Nice to see someone who knows what they are talking and how things are done. Very punctual and descriptive on the work being done. Although some of the methods of it could've been done different but hey there's more than one way to skin a cat. The only argumentive point from me would be it is not necessary to preload the suspension when torqueing the bolts. In the case of using spherical and poly bushings that can easily rotate if properly installed you can torque without preloading the suspension. As long as the bushing are free to move.

@milanmastracci

Жыл бұрын

Hey Brad, as I mentioned, spherical and polyurethane bushings that can rotate don't need to be pre-torqued, however all OEM bushings should be to ensure they are not under tension while the vehicle is static.

Great video as always Milan. My focus with my own 9th gen has also been to address areas where aftermarket companies have not provided much in terms of upgrade modifications do our cars. These bushings are a superb example of that, sometimes you just have to get creative and do what others have not attempted to do before. Great in depth breakdown of everything here! We appreciate you uploading again and I hope to see more videos soon. Take care.

Throw in a 4piston exhaust cam. Leave everything else. The intake is making all its power but the small exhaust cam brings it down to 205. Thats why you mpg drops so hard after 4500. Exhaust side is fixed and the cat is close by, so you shouldn't need a tune but you can. It doesn't add power, just frees up the power its already making. If you also want more torque, get Ignition Projects ignition coil and NGK ruthenium HX sparkplugs because it will wear away iridium plugs in months. Its legit and makes 5th gear a usable gear. The torque adds stress but heat is reduced. Lucas oil supercoolant is also legit. Keeps everything clean and corrosion free so all surfaces and sensors contact the water better. Eliminate heat soak and your vtc wont hesitate on hot days anymore. I miss my si but i dont miss the hill assist and the naggy controls.

They don’t make a 9th gen kit because the 8th gen is superior😂

Milan, so you spent all that money on all those parts, which didn't work, BUT yet, you still haven't gotten your garage floor epoxied, yet? SMH Bro, you need to get that done before you really start doing even more mechanical work in your garage, otherwise, 2 things are going to happen: 1) you're going to have so much stuff in your garage that it's going to be an overwhelming nightmare for you to even want to clear out your garage just to get your garage floor done. 2) as you continue on working on cars in your garage, you're going to spilling oil, gas, chemicals, etc... onto the floor, which then will stain your garage floor, which then will end up costing your even more money to get your garage floor done because you'll now have to do the cleaning process of degreasing and acid washing your garage floor first, before you can put a epoxy down on your garage floor!! ALSO, I noticed in this video, you already had cracks in your garage floor, which means you if don't address those cracks, you're going to have even more problems later on with your garage floor chipping and even possibly leading to your having to jack hammer the floor up and pour a new concrete floor down. You need to address your garage floor before you really start cluttering your garage with all your stuff. Keep in mind, I have a neighbor who is a mechanic, he too, rebuilt an entire car in his garage and he's only been in his house for 1.5 years and it's a brand newly built home and already his garage floor is filthy, dirty, stained and cluttering with engines, car parts, chemicals and everything else that a mechanic uses and to this day I hear from him always REGRETTING not getting his garage floor done before he started on his project car!! AND he especially tells me this whenever he sees my epoxied garage floor!! So you don't want to end up like my neighbor and you don't want to end up costing yourself more money in the long run by ignoring to take care of your garage floor now.

dat civic is destroyed , i would never do dat to my car legit
