Details: Saturday 6th August Time: 6 — 11pm Location – Ace Corner, North Circular Road, Stonebridge, London Postcode – NW10 7UD A collection of JDM and UKDM Honda’s VW’s, Audi’s and more at London’s best roadside cafe. Ace Cafe was the host for the latest Honda Culture & Friends meet. The day started out looking dry and bright and SMS were flying round about who was meeting who and at what time. As I was cleaning the car it started raining in London, fortunately the rain passed quickly and I was able to end up and set off for the meet with a gleaming car. There were spots of rain on the way over but as soon as 5pm hit the sun came out and the cars started rolling in. There was an awesome range of cars that turned up from the German and Japanese marque. Since the last video i’d bought a couple of new toys for the dslr and they really helped with the filming. Fingers crossed the videos will get better as I get more used to filming with a Dslr and my range of equipment grows.
After posting the last video on replacing struts I thought I would post this one next. I shot this along with the rest of the Accord front end work that I did last fall. A couple of things are different, the most obvious is that the springs are a much smaller diameter so you really need to be careful when you work with these since the spring compressor doesn’t have as much to grab hold of. Second, when you install the struts back on the car care must be taken to get the notch on the strut lined up with the wishbone, if you don’t do this the upper wishbone bolt will not go in since it has to fit in a groove on the back of the strut. For the second time I’ve shown you that I tighten the lower wishbone bolt with the car off of the ground, the fact is I shouldn’t do this since I’m told it may ruin the bushing that goes through the lower control arm. I believe this to be possible but I have not experienced any problems doing it this way. For me it just seems like a pain in the butt to try and reach around the tire after I’ve place the wheel back on. But for those of you that like to point out my faults here is my excuse for not doing it the “right” way.
