I ran the Hardrace UCA ball joints for about 2 years. One day while inspecting / changing brake pads, I noticed that the front ball joints were actually spinning in the UCA hole when the knuckle turned 😮. The snap ring was the only thing holding the ball joint in. The ball joint literally fell out when I removed the snap ring. I replaced all 4 with new Honda control arms. Needed less rear camber and ended up just buying the Megan rear UCA. It's not a well designed piece. The ball joint rotates unless you use oversized wrenches and serious power to lock them down. In the front I now have to use an SPC adjustable upper ball joint, because I broke both front knuckles from using an offset lower ball joint. The increased leverage from the offset and RCA causes the smaller lug on the front knuckle to crack and fail.
not possible on my setup as my spring acts on the upper controll arm. but this gave me high spirits. im currently building a track car and so an extreme weight reduction was done. so even with my lowering springs it seats higher than with stock springs. becauce therye way stiffer. ow i know what needs to be done to lower it! thanks!
I order the studs and nutz, M12 by 1.5 cant wait to install on my Acura TL type s, gonna be pushing this on time atack
I have an stock 03 s2000 what is everything I need to buy in order to tune it ? The kpro prb? And the harness? Is that it ??

Added to my wishlist…
Can you tell me how you were able to tighten crank pulley bolt without crank turning? Did you have the transmission in gear and parking break on? I don't have an impact and I notice the Honda tool doesnt appear to be able to work (octagon) with the Kraftwerks pulley. Thank you in advance!
for the cylinder head rebuild, usually how much does it cost?
LOVE THE MIRRORS LOOKING FORWARD IN ORDERING ONE SOON
We have them! Thank you.. balladesports.com/products/ballade-sports-10th-gen-civic-power-tilt-led-mirrors?_pos=1&_sid=3c36f4297&_ss=r

awesome alex
I’m looking to do a turbo kit on my ap1, is a twin disk overkill for 400hp? Trying to maintain streetability
People will talk sh*t, but the reality is that OEM hardtops are becoming very scarce and unattainable. So long someone is willing to put in the time, effort, money to recreate something that is so hard to get for the community, it's a thumbs up! Perfection, probably not. But with some adjustments like that, I'd say it's worth the money. As the community continues to support, maybe the small company can increase in sourcing quality as well. Just gotta give them a big thanks for trying to keep the community alive!
Just picked up your down pipe. Might have to add the exhaust to the list too 🤧
Go for it!
Reasonably priced too 👍 well done
Thanks 👍
Beautiful… now we need for the fl5
Yes we just bought an FL5!! Next in the pipeline!!!
Is this with OEM DP and FP?
What about the rears one?
Need this
Can I run this on a k20z3?
I got two. The first one from the scrapyard came out from Ep3 type r for £20 and the second one, I bought it from eBay with an original box for £68 a couple of years ago.
Do you recommend any adapter kit, please? E.g. Domiworks or HPR
What front reinforcement bar modification do you need to do for the ap1?
Ap2
What size Injector was used for this power gain?
1050cc ID injectors
Why are they more expensive then real ce28?
What makes you say that? 17x10 CE28s are 4k for a +50 offset. This one is a nonexistent +45 with BBK clearance. Perhaps you’re looking at prices for CE28s of smaller size? www.icbmotorsport.com/ravoraceragr.html
any concerns for running on h22a, and which one do I order for h series?
Nice job and I did this to a base cab Tacoma. I had to make my own lowering kit for the front and a lowering block was available for the 3rd member (1"). Project Runt build or X Runner Jr. .
Can the OEM intake arm fit over this throttle body?
Yes it can
My Momo hub only came with a male connector for the srs light fix. Where did you find the connector for the srs light !? Any information would be appreciated.
We sell the SRS fix with our hub adapter. Momo is not really set up for S2k. They just reused the EK spline and box it for s2k. balladesports.com/products/copy-of-ballade-sports-aluminum-steering-wheel-hub?_pos=2&_sid=261003f6d&_ss=r
@@BalladeSports you guys don’t sell just the resistor ? I’ve seen some people just stick the male side resistor into the back of the plug but I wanted a cleaner fit.
I thought the mini cooper rotors fits with out modifications…
Yes we all did this also. Now we have a 12 inch rotor fore higher braking performance over 11 inch 22mm thin mini cooper rotor
Epic
Glad to know someone was able to make the Accord a little bit better
I have no bad things to say other than the headliner clips suck. The fitment of the top was perfect aside from the “bow” in the middle front leading edge. Did the reverse bear hug on it and it straightened it out. I am just happy people are doing things like this to keep parts available for these cars. Parts being discontinued every day makes it difficult. Companies like this are filling the gap.
I want that!
Dam a 15" rim. That's bad ass.
Well, which setup do you prefer?
Should i get this for my daily driver 500e?
Can you use this with kwv3
Hiw much would a swap like this cost with the turbo and all installed
can a fk8 ( type R ) transmission be interchanged into a 2019 accord 6MT ?
ZF Gearbox?
BMW 335i sorry I don’t know much about these trans models
Super nice
Where is the DCT sourced from? Thats awesome!
BMW 335i
I would love to do this
This is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing
Where did u get ur rear bumper?
Can you put that on 10 speed auto
Nice. 💯💥
Are these still for sale for $130? I would like to purchase it, but the website says $180.
Yes they are $130 usd. Perhaps you're currency is changed from the country of origin? balladesports.com/products/ballade-sports-titanium-1-4oz-shift-knob-m10x1-5-honda-acura?_pos=1&_sid=dd6102f04&_ss=r
and also, can I get it shipped to US but paying in CAD? shipping to US is only $8 but to Canada is $80!
Yes you need to go to the website and change the shipping address to USA
I don't care about the back colour being different you doing an amazing 💫 thing . Straight up.
Thank you for the comment. It means a lot.
Horrible experience with these ballade sports pulleys. had to change my belt 3 times . Had to change pulleys 3 times . All in a span of 4 months and bare put 1k miles . Car is a weekend car and had to deal with so many issues . Until supercharger gave out a few months later . I feel that these pulleys prevents the supercharger from flowing good . At the end of the day I should have stuck with the original pulleys and belt
Sorry we tried to fix a horrible Supercharger Kit. We didn't put you in this situation, KW did. We are a victim just like you. But 10x times more than you. Please give the blame evenly if you think that is fair.
I would give it evenly , but when trying to get help from you guys all I got was “ we have too many cars so we can’t accept any cars”
But at the end of the day it was a lesson learned . And had to convert it back to NA
@@S2kedwinn Sorry we are on an international level with products selling daily. We are extremely busy now. We don't even take any service work because of this. You win some and lose some. With you we lost. It is what it is. I have one question, and this is what we saw many times before with this kit. How do you know your supercharger blower wasn't damaged to begin with, and then expected our kit to fix the blower? We have seen this already happen where people had damaged blowers from KW original pulleys, then change to our kit, unknowingly with a blower that spins slower from damage, now puts on our pulley kit and belts breaking because your blower was already on the way out? I know this because it happened to me, and others also. But its cool. Blame us. Doesn't matter Rotrex Sucks, Doesn't Matter KW sucks, You spent way more with them than us, but Its our fault. Sorry. Have a good one.
@@S2kedwinn Tell you what. Check out our Ballade GT35 Bolt in turbo kit. Made by us, not fixing someone elses junk. We offer titanium piping. Its been extremely successful and we have had many people successfully installing and running for long periods with out issues. If you like it and maybe thinking about it, let us make it up to you on the pulleys and hook you up with a killer deal. We have a DIY video we made installing on our channel. We made this turbo kit specifically to battle the damn KW kit!
