I'm gonna start looking for springs.

Unknown007, this is a little off topic but for fun do a search on ORBS, if you don't already know what those are, then look at your photo's you took at night of your car. I like to look at stuff like that for total fun, and entertainment. You may have fun trying to figure out why those "ORBS" are surrounding your car heavily.

Wasn't that you, unknown007, that said you once had to drive your car through a gate at the cemetary? I could be wrong but maybe you stirred up the spirits there and now they surround your car while you lower it! MUUHAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

[qship96]

Maybe they think he is trying to lower it into the ground? He is going to kill it one way or the other, just a matter of when!

No the previous owner did.

[paranoidjack]

even creepier!

So found out if I get springs I will only lower the car more.Bad idea. So Now what should I do to get the rear lower?

you just figured out that springs will lower the car?

if you want to lower the rear only use the rear springs only. it's not really the "right way" to do it but (don't take this the wrong way) neither is most of the other stuff you've done.

the next better, and obviously more expensive, option would be ground control sleeves. they should give you enough adjustability to even it out front to rear. added bonus of custom rate eibach springs. i would go this route before retrofitting any of the budget z32 coilovers.

other than that, $2k+ on real coilovers.

Put the stock springs and tokiko blues on and move on to more important things.

Yeah I figured out the srpings will lwoer it more.Lol I was like 1.75 more of a drop WTF.Yeah I was slow on that one.I have $200 in cash right now but it's for my fender.I want the Z32 sleeves but I dunno.We'll see.I'm not the only who's done everything bad I mean many people retro fit and it's up to the owner of the car if you ask me. If I had money like others I would get coilovers which would be my next step unless the sleeves work out good.

qship96 I'll pass on that and just wait til I cause that pile up and see you in the bottom. I'll point and laugh.Cruel comment?Yezzirr get the picture.

[Infinitiguy19]

I mean this in the nicest of ways and I don't recall ever saying this to you directly.

Please fix your engine and find out what the ticking noise is, then fix your fender. Then when thats all done work on the suspension and do what you want. Trust because time creates more problems on any car or thing foor that matter.

[unknown007]

As long as my car gets from point A to point B then it's fine.Sorry to put it in those terms but I'm not gonna dig into the engine when I know it takes more than one day to find out.I got better things to do.The suspension is done in 4hrs or less since I have auto for 2 classes that are both 2hrs each.So if there's no help other then just saying on some sleeves and or coilovers then this thread is basically done.Thanks BlackonBlack.

I might sell this car or trade it before summer ends.Maybe even have it parked outside for awhile since I might get another car.I fixed my car got it running a ticking noise won't bother me.Sometimes I think it's a bad idea asking a question here.

It's not that man, it's just not. People that own and drive these cars enjoy their high standards of performance and safety, but this is contingent upon high standard of maintenance.

People are ragging on you here because you're performing modifications to a car that it doesn't require, that hurt it, before spending that same time and money on ensuring it DOES get from point A to point B...today, AND tomorrow.

I used to have a prelude I loved. I spent tons of time and money on the stereo system, the suspension, wheels, tires, accessories, and then 5k later the engine blew and I had no money to fix it.

I have not spent a dollar on my Q except the CIMA grille outside of the shop manual. This ensures every dollar I am spending (on this depreciating asset) is at least well-spent.

We're just looking out for your safety, the safety of others on the road, and the car's well-being.

[unknown007]

Though again the only problem I'm having are my KS don't work or have a bad harness and the ticking noise which almost every car,even new, has.So I see no problem with my engine.Like I said before who knows how long I'll have the car though I do plan on long.I ask for some help not maintenance.If I did ask for that okay but you feel me?Everybody goes off topic.If it's like this then why bother asking and just mess up right?

[paranoidjack]

yeah, for sure. Have you ohme'd the harness to test the KS's? Easily accessible and only takes a few minutes.

[unknown007]

Done it has no readings.I already know I have to go back down there to make sure they have contact and no dirty blocking the ground.Maybe it has a clear cover and I didn't know?I dunno.

[Infinitiguy19]

He has with no results from a known good OHM meter.

But Berner I say to get rid of the ticking noise and other problems you are facing. Because once those are solved then you can rest easy knowing you have a good running Q that is better than most in the USA.

But to worry about easly fixable stuff such as body work is some what shallow.

And everone that is harrassing you (With the exception of Qship becaucause the only usefull thing he did was show us those bright bulbs.) is only looking out for your best because if you look at my old threads about a year to too ago (Some will argue I post some some stupid stuff) you will see I was some what like you.

And these cars are really meant for older people so to own one you need to "mature" a little or have a big pocket to have other who are "mature" work on the car.

But even though they are meant for older people I don't understand why, I mean I like big cars and this is one of them. And the only thing that make it look like and old mans car SORT OF is the rear trunk trim where the reverse lights are. But I plan on doing somehing like this with my spare trim panel: zerothread?id=243884.
