WHEEL ALIGNMENT at Home Workshop with string Honda Integra & new RAYS CE28 wheels

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2022
- In today's episode I replace the wheels and tyres on my Phoenix Yellow Honda Integra DC2 Type R aka Acura Integra DC2R in the USA. It bumps steers and tram tracks on uneven road surfaces with its aggressive race track wheel alignment / stance fitment setup, so I want to make it nicer to drive on the street. and give the car a fresh new look.
I'm also doing a wheel alignment using string etc to get some experience doing that and not have to reply on wheel alignment specialist workshops to do the work for me. Its always good doing things myself as I can take my time and learn. I install some new RAYS Engineering Volk Racing CE28 JDM wheels and try to work out a better tyre fitment for the car with new wheel alignment settings too. This car has motorsport history at the Gold Coast Honda Indy 300.
If you would like to support my channel or send me something cool for me to talk about or use in my workshop. My postal address is below Cheers! :)

If I have made any mistakes in this video please let me know.
I know sometimes my videos are very basic but hopefully they will help some people. I also like to document what I do to the car with video while trying to be creative. Most of the time I do everything here myself which is a big job and its hard to remember everything, But I shoot most of this stuff with my old iPhone and sometimes my old GoPro. The "Pieces to Camera" I film with my Canon 5D so I don't even use a proper video camera at all. Although I would love to get a SONY FX3 some day and a Gimbal too which will open up a lot of creative shots in future videos.

New wheels look great, love this integra and the history behind it
cheers mate. I have more history on the car which I forgot to include in this episode so I might do a video in the future specifically about its history. The driver at the Indy race went on to be a test driver for an F1 team so it would be good to track him down for an interview, but I'm sure he has better things to do :)
Love the wheels! They are very light! I have them on my DC2 as well but 16x7.5 +35 offset. I get lots of complements on the wheels!
Thanks! Your size wheels sound good as you could use wide tyres with a higher profile. Hard to tell exactly without test fitting, which can get expensive
I used fishing line wrapped around axle stands to align my DC2 ITR. Bear in mind that the rear track in less on these cars so you have to factor that in to get the strings parallel.
Also, the use of an engineering rule is better than using a tape measure for more accurate results.
The wheels do look great though.
Cheers Mick. I don’t have any respect for wheel aligners around here so doing setup myself is really my only option.
@@UzumakiGarage yeah that was my issue here really. One shop wanted me to 'leave my ITR with them' and they'd give me a call when it was done. There was absolutely no way I was leaving my beloved ITR at a fast fit shop for them to take it for a run up the local dual carriageway without my permission. Hence why I did it with fine fishing line myself.
@@mickl8212 yes some shops have no respect and if its within Manufacturers spec they won't even bother to make it perfect. DIY FTW
That’s awesome info, thanks for sharing… the wheels look great.👍
cheers mate :)
Did you buy this car from a guy named David?
Do you still have the white dc2? Love the new wheels. Loads better than the previous setup
Yes I still have the white one but it needs some more work. I removed its gearbox and had it reconditioned. So next I have to re-install the gearbox but first the steering rack needs attention and I might replace the clutch too while I'm at it. All good content to go in future video episodes.
Just to confirm the stock rear toe arm can adjust the toe?
Yes. The Compensator Arm on the rear can adjust the rear toe
