Thank you for watching my video, I appreciate the support !
Man, for an auto channel, your videos are so polished and relaxing to watch...the music, camera work, post production, not forgetting your infectious humour. Your videos are like car repair rom-coms. You deserve much more followers than what you already have. Keep it up.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment. It's nice to see people are still watching my crx videos
Your editing is off the hook and comedic talent keeps me laughing.
Thank you! While editing or doing voice over...if i cant make myself laugh then I know the video isnt ready . I'm trying to improve my videos to make them more entertaining. Thanks for watching
Next level on the editing, love it.
Setting the standard all RUclips automotive channels should aspire to.
By the way the a rear spring was upside down, just kidding.
Thanks! I appreciate the comment! I watch my videos over and over to make sure the commentary and music work well together while editing. Its something im trying to improve on to make the videos more enjoyable.
@@themechanic6117 I’m getting ready to start recording my crx project do you have suggestions on the camera rig and which program you edit with?
I us filmora9 . its simpe and not very expensive. Buy basic camera equipment off ebay or Amazon they work good enough to get started. As far as camera you can use your phone to start but i eventually upgraded to a actually camera . buy the best camera you can afford. My camera and lens cost me about $1,300
I was going to say the same thing. I love all the little additions to show us exactly what is going on
CR-Xcellent. Great video and detailed work
💪thank you
I love these CRX videos! Makes me regret selling mine a few years back 😔.
Thank you. Maybe you can get another crx in the future?
This is a great vid for keeping it stock'ish and info on what's going away ... when I was searching mine after yrs out, I had no idea back glass is no longer available at all.
Oh yeah, somethings are just impossible to get.it really does suck
Beautiful engine, Sir.
Thank you. Too much money invested in it
Your videos are educational and comical! Keep up the good work brother.
Thank you 💪
Love your crx series, pls keep it up
Thank you ! More to come
Your videos are outstanding. I can't stop watching!
Great job Jonathan! You're very brave with those springs lol I'm like the spider running for its life 🙈😂😂😂
I dont recommend doing that with a spring but you gotta do what you gotta do lol.
The music combined with the easy goingness of this video makes me think I need a glass of scotch.
Thank you.glad you enjoyed it
Спасибо за ваше видео работа качественная и много нужного для тех кто любит crx 👍👍😎🤩
Nice job as always bro. Suspension work is intimidating to me but you have a lot more experience.As always I learn from ur work. Thanks
Thank you. Nah , its pretty easy stuff.you can do it. Thanks for watching
Great video and good advice on protecting the strut
Thank you 👍 hopefully the next time i have to pull the suspension is to upgrade to coil overs
Masterfully edited Jon!!! A++
Thank you 💪
Wow incredible videos just found this while researching for my ed6 you have my support
Thank you i appreciate it 💪
Love the editing!! Found this vid searching tru hart shocks for my fg1
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.theres plenty more crx videos in my playlist
The mech a nic I seen I just subbed lol
Thank you
Nice too see some work on crx again ;)
I know its a slow process. I appreciate the patience
@@themechanic6117 Do you have some plans on bodywork? 😁
Nice job Jonathan
Thank you 👍💪
I had bad experience with those tru harts. Front ones blew out in about 6 months. Had to replace them.
If they blow out anytime soon. I wont bother replacing them.ill just get a full coilover setup
love this man, u know it... to be fair i only watch the honda stuff here, but man oh man ur editing got soo good and 4K took me by surprise. Kep it up my man (:
Thanks, I appreciate the comment. Yeah ive been uploading all my recent crx videos in 4k , nobody has really commented on that lol. Glad you're enjoying the videos
Awesome video 👍
Thank you
Amazing video 👍
Thank you 💪
We need more k24 and crx videos but great work on ur crx suspension
I'm trying 👍
Love the content. Can you please provide us with a update on the ride quality and turn out? Thank you keep up grest videos
Of course it's stiffer than original parts and the ride is a little bumpy/bouncy . Doesn't ride smooth like It used to but that's the trade off .
dude! did you step on your cat? also, props for loading the suspension before torquing everything down. I cringe every time i see someone do this and later complain about blow bushings.
No lol just sound effects. I agree, seeing people tighten nuts/bolts without loading the suspension is cringy
Love the click animation, and I started to get the idea that with all the torque segments, there might have been an effort to gently troll all the Torque Spec! nutjobs on RUclips. If that was the intent, you have my respect sir.
niceee
💪
Dope videos man, what boots did you use on the shocks?
Thank you. I got them from rock auto .com
Nice upgrade. Any plans on getting rid of the rust
Yes i need to start doing minor repairs on rust before it gets completely out of control
Great videos. Just wonder what you used for handbrake cables?
Check out my fuel tank video where I replaced the hand brake cables . I have a Playlist for this car
How much do you have to tighten the top nut that goes on in the center of the shock? Is there a specific amount?
I believe there's a torque spec for it but I usually just tighten it till it's snug
@@themechanic6117 Thank you so much!!!
At 9:12, your locking tab for the spindle isn't bent in, not on purpose, right?
I noticed that also while i was editing. Ill have to inspect that to seeif i forgot to bend the tab over or if the nut is backing out. Thanks for pointing it out
Looking good bud . Dramatic tunes nicely executed 👍 Glad you dont like that rap stuff :)
Rap music wont sit well with the way i put my videos together. I like these weird songs that nobody has really heard of yet they have catchy tunes
@@themechanic6117 I like your choice of music. Its simple and it doesn't ever seem to fully drown out the sounds of your work or what you're trying to explain.
If you could link the parts you used and where you bought them
Mainly jhpusa / rockauto / ebay
Hahaha you blurred out the double penatration😂😂
🤣👍
@@themechanic6117 you sir are a mad man
Hopefully you can help me with this. I lowered my CRX on Koni yellow adjustable struts and Tein springs. The passenger rear is higher than the other sides. I believe I installed everything correctly. What could I have done wrong?
Is the height adjustable on each strut?
No silicone grease for the top hat assembly?
Dont think it needs any.it should be fine
@@themechanic6117 Like the videos, keep the comedy up and blur out all the naughty parts! lol
Where do you get the manual book for crx? I need help
I got it on ebay. It's the civic/crx manual
GBH!! What's up, Jon ✌️
👍💪 its a cool shirt!
Can you help me with my civic wagon? I’ve changed the starter and alternator replaced the battery twice and still won’t turn on. I replaced the distributor but all I get is crank no start. I don’t wanna let this car go any advice?
If the car is cranking why did you replace the alternator? Alternator has nothing to do with a car starting . Same thing for the battery, if it's cranking the battery is doing its job. Did you check for spark or fuel pressure?
@@themechanic6117 the battery kept going bad even after getting a new one. It would get drained so I figured to just use the warranty on it because the autozone said the battery was shot. After all that I found the problem, the distributor teeth broke inside the engine. Luckily the piece just fell under the slot and I used a magnet pen to picked the back up. Put a new distributor and load and behold she fired right up.
What is the aftermarket coolant filler for?
I'm not sure what you're talking about.can you put a time stamp?
The mech a nic on the side of the cylinder head?
Oh i see, it just gives a different place to add coolant in case if i wanted to run a radiator with no fill neck on it. Also it should make bleeding the coolant easier since the fill kneck is now the highest point of the cooling system.
how did these hold up?
I barely drive the car so I really can't say how they're holding up. Of course they're still fine but that's expected from a car that doesn't get driven
@@themechanic6117 Fair enough, I ordered a set because the cost of the cheapest brand stock struts + extended top hats were around the same after duties and shipping, and KYB stocks would’ve been more
I get it. They ride stiffer than stock which is expected but they're not super harsh .
I gave this video a thumbs down. I watch this whole not to see the finished product. I like video I just don't like how it ended👎🏾
