When the light is on your top speed is meant to be less than 50mph till you can get the 'fault' fixed, and all that holds the rear wheels straight are two large springs :shock:
All Honda's have shocking turn-ing circles. Turning around at the end of my road every day does my head in, which is the sole reason i got rid of both my 200sx' due to both having a locked diff!

:lol:

Just got on the phone to Tegiwa as the coilovers are STILL not here. Was a bit miffed as i know they were a special order, but i didn't recieve no confirmation and the website clearly said next day delivery.

Anyways, theyre in transit and will be with me tomorrow. I have a full set of track rod ends ready to roll, and 4 brand new 225/45 tyres. Friday is the day it all gets fitted.

You know what, i've heard a lot of bad things about them but every order i had previously made arrived next day without fault!

Handy that i know the sales guy though, he was quick to clear things up and said if they're not here by tomorrow latest he'll be straight on the case.

Will be done next week, i'm working away so can drop the car off to them and collect it at the end of the week. Gives me time to get the ride height spot on

Am i gonna need the locking pin 100%?

Maybe it's if you don't know them and are asking for information before commiting to buying that they absolutely suck then ;-) :lol:

BB6 = 2WS and BB8 = 4WS.

Yes you will need a 4WS locking pin to lock off the rear wheels. Some people say that something can be jammed in there instead of a locking pin but it sounds like a complete lash up to me.
