hi, i got a 2000 civic ex auto... I just got some aem adjustable cam gear.. I need help installing it.. or should I get a professional to do it.. any idea? help!!!

Didnt it come with instructions?

If not - check out a HELMS :devil:

got it on ebay .. didn't get instructions for it..

Unless you are very knowledgable of how to set your timing and such, i would get a mechanic to do it. You dont want to advance or retard your timing on accident and messup someting...

not to knock you or anything but why did you waste your money on that?

i say 200 bucks down the drain:rolleyes:
not to offend you or anything but that was a serious waste on an untuned civic motor. spend your money on things that make your car look better or go faster. but then again it is your money.

cam gear = money + :bathroom:

How do you know this person doesnt have a semi built motor?

I would have said why waste your money on an automatic before I said anything about spending money on a cam gear. :flash:

thats what i was implying, whats next a short shifter? :bloated:

either way, its better to spend money making your car faster, (or trying to) than to spend it on useless crap like different trun signal lenses or some crap like that

ok so your gonna take an AUTO and just totally throw money down the drain.....if he really wants to up his speed he should save for a manual tranny

no, personally, i wouldnt have bought the auto in the first place, but if it was given to me, or thats all i had, id save for the maual swap first and foremost. what i was saying was, trying to make your car faster is better than trying to make your car "look fast"

Maybe hes gonna go level10 tranny setup? Rarely do you see this so its an unlikely thing to think about... but since no one here knows him, we all shouldnt jump to conclussions. Who knows, maybe he was in a not at fault accident which severely limited the mobility of his left leg, and is expecting a big cash settlement any day now - so he feels the limited use of his leg warrants the purchase of an automatic. Or maybe he doesnt have a left leg at all... The first thing we do as people is jump to conclussions - and/or assume things. And assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups!

I say do your thing play boy, modding your car is about YOU - not other people. They dont drive your car, they dont have to deal with it on a day in and day out basis... but do the rest of us fellow road users a favor and make sure all your modifications are done properly. :smoka:

but do the rest of us fellow road users a favor and make sure all your modifications are done properly nah man he can install them improperly if he wants that his car what HE wants to do :finger:

No... because it puts me, and other road users in danger because of his stupidity. So no, no it isnt alright - and im sure you would agree if one ever spun off, went through the side of his car and embedded itself into the side of your block or something.

Driving is a privilege, and part of the responsibility you take when accepting a license is that you will drive respectably and maintain your vehicle properly... if you cant do that, then you shouldnt be on the road.

are my cut springs ok? ;)

j/k

1st of all i dont think an improperly installed cam gear would make him spin off the road and 2nd if thats the case then there shouldent be as many people on the road as there is......especially old people

When did I say anything about spinning off the road? Try re-reading it...

ANY modification you do to your car, you better damn well make sure its done right - anything involving your motor, brakes, lighting or suspension can get you in some serious shit. Dont believe me, go drive around without brake lights on your newly installed red/clear tails and when someone rear ends you, guess whos fault it is.... your own.

This world is full of people itching for a lawsuit, and shep if you ever get into an accident with someone with chopped springs, im sure a lawyer could come up with a good case... because the cut spring could probably cause even the littlest uneven surface to make the car start "bucking" - thus when they hit the brakes they arent getting full braking force causing you to get hit. Or some senario like that...

What's a cam gear? Is that like the thing that makes the wheels spin er something? :eshooter:

You guys should hug and not worry about each other so much.
Yes you should do all your mods correctly. Yes, to each their own, your car - your business. Also, its obvious LanxangRacer wants to know more about the cam gear, now he knows what its good for on his auto, be it tuned or not.

Sparq, chill. why get all worked up over a few folks just tryin to bust your balls a bit. so angry, you kids and your rap music...honestly.

Shep, CivicHBsi91, you guys know sparq gets ornory, why fuck with him?

and did LanxangRacer ever get a solid answer on what he should do with his $200 cam gear now that he has it? Did he ever come back to mention what else is on his car? Or do we all like bickering more than helping each other out?

CivicHBsi91, you guys know sparq gets ornory, why fuck with him? lol cuz its fun :p , anyways i dont think ranger or whatever his name was stuck around here..............
