Where can you buy track rod ends?

Direct from your local Honda dealer or a copy part from your local motor factors/ebay, and as is almost always the case the genuine part will be better but more expensive. As an example one of my non genuine rod ends had a nyloc nut with it, and the other had a crown nut and pin, but for reasons I can't remember it was wrong in some way and we ended up using nylocs on both.

Bit of an uneven finish on my first attempt with crinkle paint, but it is absolutely miles better than the scabby looking paint which was on there before so I'm pretty pleased. The tape marks aren't there anymore either thankfully.

Thanks all for your comments

RyVcZ - interesting points you made. I'm really happy with the drop at the front with the Eibachs, but the back has always sat too high for my taste, even before it was stripped, so I'm considering a swap to something else.

Also I just removed an OEM lip for this one and although I'll agree it looked 'cleaner' with it on, it just wasn't mean enough for my taste! I think the wide mouth 4dr bumper looks really mean with a deep lip. 94_jdm_ferio's DIY lip caught my eye recently, basically a simple race car style airdam, but it also looks badass. If you sculpted it right you could basically replicate the OEM lip too.

Another shot of the car:

- Thu Nov 25, 2010 1:44 pm #224608 yup i agree those lips looks meaner as compared to the oem's. maybe you might want to source out some oem foglights also as a suggestion.

daym your car's really clean!

Opal green Budget sedan
My build http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=15138

- Sat Mar 12, 2011 12:46 am #243539 Bit of an update:



Corbeau buckets, yet to be fitted. I got some nice Corbeau alloy side mounts practically thrown in with them (albeit slightly chopped to clear a cage), but I think I'm going to go with Buddy Club side mount rails to avoid the extra floor strengthening involved and to keep the versatality. They hardly weigh anything either, so another usefull weight saving when they're in.





Refurbed spare cylinder head, bit of an unexpected one this. Basically I hydrolocked the engine... so sent a spare head off to the machine shop for a basic skim and clean up, got a complete engine and box off someone on a forum, and had it all rebuilt with new pumps/belts/seals etc. Only ended up using the block off the engine I bought so I've now got a spare gearbox which I may strip/rebuild at some point, maybe with a Quaife diff.... but in the meantime I now have a big pile of Z6 spares, some of which I'm going to need to sell to recoup some funds.

I've got a plan to compete the car at a sprint event in July, but a complete engine rebuild was a pretty big setback, especially considering I'm going to need a rollcage and various other bits of personal safety gear to be allowed to compete. I'll have to see how it goes, but hopefully I'll have some pictures of the car on track to post if all goes to plan
