Perfect timing for this thread... Very interested in Driftmotion down-pipe although, out of two opinions..they're both exact opposite. So what's the verdict?

Alright ladies and gents, I have an interesting issue going on. Every now and then my car would smoke a lil bit, but lately I have noticed it a lot more. Now, it is a very light color smoke (sometimes very light blue, but smells like burning oil, so i'm going to assume oil. Okay so...

So basically, I had the nut on the bottom as tight as it would go before spinning, then i jacked up from under the control arm, to 'pull' down on the ball joint

I'll get a picture up of what I did in a couple minutes. I checked and rechecked, it's torqued to 76lbs like it should be

Alright, thank you all for the replies! What I ended up doing was actually jacking up under the upper control arm to put force/pressure on it, this allowed me to tighten it I hate when it's something simple and I can't figure it out. Thanks google haha Thanks again for all the tips

Hmm.. shit, vice grips with..like a sock around the boot or something? last thing I want to do now is mess the boot up One thing that isn't making sense to me, was when I loosened it from the beginning. How did I get the nut to come off with out the whole thing spinning now like it is

I apologize for either the close mindedness, or just lack of understanding. Not being sarcastic (just want to reiterate because it can be read wrong on the internet lol) But how exactly would this work? Saying there was no grease, would it not still spin?

Hey everyone, I am feeling very very stupid and stumped right now. I'm replacing the bushings, and everything is going so smooth..figures, i knew i would hit a snag. I for what ever reason can not get it to tighten, it's as if it's free spinning. Yes, I am reading the trsm and yes, I...

I'd like to join this thread!

God..red and black is a perfect color combo. Always loved me some cbr If I could do things over I would have gotten 05-06 749. Mostly for aesthetics. The red frame is nice, steering damper woulda been nice too. Well I don't know about that last part. I seem to get out of 'tank...

Haven't had time to go through the thread. Will check out everyone's bikes in a bit! Please welcome my baby

Hey thank you for the inputs everybody! Greatly appreciated. So I always remember someone saying check the basics first. This whole time my gut told me it was the paper clip haha. So I got a little finish nail from my finish nailer, bent it over. Stuck it in the box nice and snug (much better...

allllrighty, video should be up. This is exactly how I did it the other times when it worked a while back. If i'm doing something wrong let me know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWhcXu766HM&feature=youtu.be

Actually, I will take a video later when I get home from work

Yes, the light comes on like normal everything is fine. But when I try to check the codes it does nothing

Well this sucks, looks like I'm going to have to toy around with it and see if I can just figure it out. Thank you for the input

Was def the right spots. Quadruple checked haha I mean, maybe the paper clip wasn't touching the pins all the way? But I mean I played with it a lil to make sure there was good contact when I put the paper clip in.. Idk, maybe the paper clip is no good? (box said it's made from 100% recycled...

Hey everyone, something interesting happened today. So I replaced my headgasket about 12,000 miles ago (everything knock on wood, runs awesome still :) ) but ya know after i finished putting the car back together i checked for codes and it was all good, just a steady blinking light showing no...

Just a little heads up on the body roll situation. While yes, springs can definitely help, you want to prevent most of your body roll with sway bars. Get some heavy duty bars and it will help the body roll a lot. Pair that with stiffer springs awwww yeah, shits gettin real :D

Vey cool! Thank you very much for the clarification Can't wait to do this now
