    I had two 91 EF’s, one with a B16, in the Army circa 2007. I really do miss them.

      I rock your shirt at least once every 3 weeks as that's my rotation of shirts in the garage. I'm glad it always pops up in videos because there's plenty of times when I'm not recording. Love it, and been great knowing and supporting you all these years now, and couldn't be more appreciative of your support too!

    Since you have done track racing what is your opinion on lightweight Flywheel vs oem I have a d16y8 with a fresh rebuild and bc springs and retainers and I'm looking to do the dragon here soon since I'm from NC

    • @GarageBuiltHondas
      @GarageBuiltHondas  Год назад

      If you're there, install one! I wouldn't create the work if otherwise. Definitely will help with less parasitic loss and quicker acceleration especially since you'll be doing that a lot of roads like the dragon. If not, leave it. I've never used a lightweight flywheel at the track and it's not something that would slow you down.

    Hey I’d like to ask on a suspension setup advice. I have a 90civic si mostly stock, I have a blown shock so I need to replace, and I am looking to upgrade the suspension while I do it, I’m hoping to drop the car about 1-2” but it is a daily driver, to and from work everyday in pittsburgh with potholes and speed bumps and all the worst roads imaginable. I’m looking at koni yellows as I hear they are the best, any other recommendations? How about springs, can I use stock? Thanks, your videos have helped me to get into working on cars, something I always wanted to do. I appreciate you

    • @GarageBuiltHondas
      @GarageBuiltHondas  Год назад

      You mentioning the yellows means you can afford them which is great. I personally think they are one of the best, if not the best shock out there. You can use your stock springs with them, but that doesn't lower the car. A set of brand name bane lowering springs would pair nicely with these and lowering springs are generally a 1-2" drop like you want.

    • @supermanwithheat
      @supermanwithheat Год назад +1

      Pulling an engine is pretty quick depending on your wrenching skills and familiarity with the chassis. Takes anywhere between 45 minutes - 1 hour 1/2
      Reinstalling may take about the same and sometimes a bit longer depending on how careless one is or how meticulous one is.

      Thank you, but not yet thankfully! He had a major heart surgery and it was scary. He's very healthy now but not healthy enough to drive this car again. Hopefully he'll be able to once again soon even if just for some cruising.
