Hmm, Ive seen dozens of coilovers and they do have threads all the way to the end, I know they adjust all the way so I dont get why theyd have something to lock the bottom when they lock from the top of it..

It shouldnt be a problem if the black piece that turns on the treads is locked in place on top of the bottom gold mount?

Just call the company you got them in the morning when you wake up! : p

cap and rotor are fine. i think i am going to laugh alot when its the timing chain and ive had over 10 ppl tell me that its nearly impossible. keyword 'nearly'. i cant find anything else wrong with the motor and it sounds EXACTLY like the timing is changing with every time i turn it over which would mean the timing is skipping in some way.

Looks similar to the Dethklok/McHonda base color I used and you're right, it is every close to the stock redtop color.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna clean the crap out of the gray hatch and unearth the green car from the garage. Haven't driven it in 2 weeks, I'm sure it is feeling neglected. Starting to miss good suspension and a 5 speed.

Why don't you pull the valve cover off, and take a look around?
