No one in Canada is interested in older Honda's he dropped it to 2200 to 1300, I just want a full out hoon mobile, I track my Ep3 but I still use it a lot
>Been working on the Jetta today, got it up and running after a year. OBD2 is amazing. Starting to take a shine to the car again, comfortable (Love my leather seats) and well mannered, plenty of space, reliable as fuck engine (I'd hazard the AE827 is more reliable than a D, at least in my experience. Bonus points for non interference.)
Wish that the CRX was able to be upgraded to OBD2, but it's going to be enough of a PITA to switch it from OBD0 to OBD1, and after that easier to just have a custom chip
>See NA Miata driving around with style bars, straight piped 1.6, fake carbon hood

Good day for car spotting.
>>13982204
I hate my Jetta to death but that engine gets no complaints from me aside from the oil burning. It's a tank. Just everything around it is ass. They must have dropped the ball with MkIV. It's cramped charred to my Civics.
>>13982222
>dem quads
Yea, the quality I hear took a nose dive during the Mk3, the Pueblo plant had some walkouts/protests/whatnot and I'm guessing it affected the car's. Something similar with what happened in the UK back in the day.
So far the only issues:
>Cruise control (DOA)
>Sun roof just started [last year] acting up
>Radio's LCD screen is fucked from heat. Piano black paint, and black leather interior, California = oven.
> ^ also nuked the vacuum pump, swapped that out for an OBD1
>Coilpack cracked (swapped for an OBD1 pack, runs fine now.)
>CPS went bad, replaced.
And I have NOT been kind to it, running it ragged, crashing it, and generally not giving a fuck about it.
Suprised there's no 'crayon' smell, and all my plastics are fine.
Going through a full service, CRX is now going to be covered until I get space to work on it.
I've owned it now for nearly seven years, feels good to be prepping it for DD again.

Fuck that's a lot of songs. My crrent collection is like less than 300 minutes.
>>13982437
Lot of repeats and remixes but lots of variety. Got it from Kickass Torrents a long time ago. Was a pain in the ass because few seeds.
>>13982204
How could you not want 140whp in a death locker?
to the guy in the last thread complaining about no good 3g preludes, at least you have them in the states, all the Canadian ones are rust (cheap compared to other cars here, but rust)
pic related is 700 or you could get one rusted in white for 745
Im wanting to do something to make my 5th gen lude louder, and does anyone have the obx twin loop or any tip with a comparison vs stock? Or should i just get a cat back? Im in cali if that helps.
>>13982660
> tfw the ones I saw in the junkyard were rust free but all disappeared
I hope some Honda lovers bought them as projects. If they got crushed that's really sad.
Love this thing to shit but it's slow as dicks. Any other Rebel riders?
Probably gonna up it to a CBR600 or a Suzacki.
>>13982723
In most states when the car goes to the junkyard it can never be sold as a tag-able vehicle again. It is forever scrap. I think they list the title as scrap or something. At least thats how its done in NC
Unless you find a shady junkyard and swap vin plates.
>>13982742
That sucks. The body was in great shape too.
>>13982736
Rode my friend's it's a nice starter bike but the kind of bike you get rid of or sell down to a family/friend who wish to learn to ride.
>>13982768
I've had it for less than 6 months and I'm already wanting to upgrade. It's definitely taught me a lot about riding but freeways are the absolute worst on it. Also it's really fucking small.
>>13982771
I wanna get one after college and then upgrade to a CTX700N.
is it a sin to just want to replace the ugly as shit exhaust tip of a 2010 civic coupe?
no fart pipes though
and maybe put a stock si spoiler on it?
>>13982742
my local junkyard will sell you a car.
Or at least what's left of it.
I'm not sure on the details though.
I wonder if you could spend a day working on it in the junkyard then buy it for pennies, throw a battery in it, and drive it home.
>>13983101
imo, if you don't stick the si badge and try to turn it into something it's not, it should be good.
>>13983193
I'm not doing any of that nonsense
Just not a fan of how the car sits and I don't know why, the spoiler evens it out pretty well though
the fogs on the si look retarded imo anyway but I wish I had the power of an si
>>13982723
those rear mudflaps aint easy to come by
>>13982742
Yup in NC the title will be 'Parts Only' meaning you can never retitle it.
A13 here.
How much would it cost to tint the windows? I'm trying to rice it out as much we possible as cheap as possible.
I've currently got an eBay straight pipe and header on there. Cold air intake. Took off the hubcaps and will be removing the rust and painting them black. The next logical step to me seems to be to lower it, and get it tinted. I might just go with lowering springs because even cheap coilovers are more expensive than what I paid for it. I hear that degrades ride quality, but I only drive it less than ten miles a day. I'm hoping to sell it to a dumb kid come spring/summer.

b10 here, power steering line was leaking and it's replaced now
CEL is on, and i hear like a whining noise or something whenever i turn the wheel
is this normal? i'm a little scared, help
OBD1 so idk where i'd go to check
Hey /hg/, this is my FG2, it loves to rev, but doesn't know what torque is. I've bought it new in 09 and just passed 7k miles.
I put the weathertech visors on yesterday, and have a set of gold Enkei RPF1's wrapped in new rubber coming in Monday. I'll probably add an HFP front lip, tint the fogs yellow and call the exterior done.
I want to do headers/exhaust/tune in preparation for an eventual supercharger.
>>13984671
I like this one more, cleaner looking. You should put this one on the collage as well.
>>13984712
Check the power steering fluid level or maybe needs a new p/s pump. The CEL is not related to it. That's all I can tell you. It's usually emissions related.
>>13984812
What size wheels are on there? 17" or 18"?
>>13984812
I like your ideas sounds like a perfect 10/10 when topped off with a supercharger.
Join the collage faggot.
>>13985318

is attached pic good enough? I was planning on it when the new wheels come in.
I found out recently that this pic I took when I first got the car is one of the top google image results when you search for things like "2009 pmm civic si"
>>13985388
Yea that barely made the cut. You can always update it when you put your new wheels on.

My aim is ~150 +keep my above 30mpgs
Opened up the dohc zc today. Internals look good.
What's does hg say, 1.6 NA all motor screaming with high comp to get to 150
Or hf manifold to turbo with decent fuel injection for an easy. 150+ ?

>>13986120

Pic is one of the cars I saw today. On the way back down I caught up to some rwd cars not familiar enough with bmw to know model and a 350z. The z had more camber on the diver side rear than the passenger side.
Crx kept up no problem.
>>13986351
>What's does hg say, 1.6 NA all motor screaming with high comp to get to 150
Would be awesome as fuck, but hard to do. High comp ITB build makes my dick diamonds.
>Or hf manifold to turbo with decent fuel injection for an easy. 150+ ?
Supercharger, eaton m42/m45
At least that's my pie in the sky plans for a D16a1
Still need to see if any other Honda rods would be better over the stock ones, and other little bits, but a blacktop with browntop pistons nets you 8.5:1 iirc
>>13986381
>CRX
Wow great
Fuck you dude
That is a completely different situation
>>13986395
Get better?
>>13986399
It doesn't matter how good I get
>>13986387
I have a blacktop basically d16a1 so it's not a crx zc. I need to find a d16a6 engine bracket to see if it mounts how it's supposed to on the 2nd gen.
Hmm I'll keep a supercharger in mind. Would stock comp be ok for that?
>>13986395
It's still fwd so it sounds like you need to get better. Are you driving the legend/civic/accord from a few threads ago?
>>13986429
What no
Also it literally has nothing to do with skill
I am limited and fucked by my car
Replaced my leaking valve cover gasket and orings. I wanted to do a valve adjustment, but they're all fine.
For the time being it's still leaking oil from where it has been. Fuck

I was getting all set to do a valve adjustment.
>tfw no deep 12mm socket

No fuck you, if you've ever worked on a car you know that you get into odd positions and put your weight on certain parts off your body (Hips etc) while getting leverage. That plus rocks = FUCK YOU ROCKS.

Fuck rcold and gravel. And that grainy pavement. Had to lay on that when draining coolant on wives vw to do thermostat. Sold that car a year after that.
>>13986742
Gotta learn some time?
Took the oil pan off of the zc. Not too sure what to do after that. Nothing looks bent or out of place. There's no flywheel attached but how easy/hard would it be to rotate the crank so I could see the other two rods?
>dont want to join the collage until I have my tip and spoiler

>>13987034
I've got it written down in my CRX journal, I think? I'm pretty drunk.
Browntop still used VAI, I'm mainly looking into a blacktop swap for easier OBD and higher comp (Until I finally convert to custom, and then pop brown pistons in for some form of FI)
>>13987431
Coolest thing I've learned this past year was that the sedans were generally lighter than the coupes [Hatches still playing second fiddle to the CRX' in lightness though]

Too bad the odo stopped at 255k like ten years ago.

Or wait, do you mean a JDM ZC dist?
AFAIK It's the same as the ones in the Br/Blk (1st/2nd gen)
>JDM is such a dirty word
is the dohc d16a1 way fucking better or what? I'd like to use the zc for a swap when the time comes because >dohc, but I'm curious what the difference is. isn't the hp the same?
>fuck your cars
>>13987744
I'm a techie also, building several PCs. i know people that wrench on cars but call me with computer questions.
the jump is not that hard.
yeah i heard about the sedan deal. newer civics are getting too big for me though.
>>13987799
zc was made for longer[citation needed] since there are multiple generations of zc. d16a1 is vacume advance timing. same as first gen zc. second gen zc and above use newer tech.
there are some difference around the housing too i believe. all but 1 transmission bolt will line up with a d16a6 transmission and a d16a1.
My 650 is back on it's wheels so maybe tomorrow I'll finally get a pic for the collage.
>>13987844
>zc was made for longer[citation needed]
86-89 for USDM under the guise of... [next none meme green]
> since there are multiple generations of zc. d16a1 is vacume advance timing. same as first gen zc. Second gen zc and above use newer tech.
The 1G ZC is 95% the same as a browntop (86-87)
The 2G ZC is 95% the same as a blacktop (88-89)
>Both of these engines (Brown/blacktop D16a1 DOHC) came in 86-89 Integras
>SOHC ZC is very similar to the D16a9 I think, can't be arsed to remember what models and years, but I think the US only got them in the CRX/Civic Si from 88-91
>there are some difference around the housing too i believe. all but 1 transmission bolt will line up with a d16a6 transmission and a d16a1.
This AFAIK Is correct, I'm pretty sure most cable trans from Honda for the D and B series can slap on to it.
Also fantastically enough, the stock CG tranny for the ZC/D16a1 can fit B series LSD's, and the fifth gear from an A20a powered Accord
>Coincidently if you want a car that drives like a 2G CRX, settling for an LX-i CA Accord is not out of the question.
>>13987850
When did you get that?
>>13987871
sohc zc is nearly identical to d16a6. you were close. difference being a slightly more agressive cam.
i think it might be the same for the d16a1/zc
cam. head shouldn't be too different. but if anyone wanted a cutaway of a zc, here it is

>SCG MG retards
Seriously they should just settle their differences within the brands and make the Miata General and SCG into Mazda and Datsun/Nissan General respectively. Don't make a prelude general, it'll be weird for the /hg/. Make a previa general for shitposting purposes lol.

>>13990848
Lol it's all good. To answer your question, no. You just need to learn how to drive it properly and throttle lift off oversteer.
>>13990861
Maybe trans fluid?
>>13990866
thank you
friend were insulting me
im only one civic driver
>>13990883
Dunno but it makes a lot of noise when I press the clutch in. Friend recommended I don't drive it too much until I fix it. Hopefully it isn't too serious.
>>13990909
Pic of your civic?
If I want performance, should I hold out for a 5th gen hatch or buy one of these great shape 6th gens.
All the 5th gens in my area have been hacked up, overpriced as shit too.
There's a nice 6th gen hatch that has swapped engines with an Integra LS non vtec one
There's also a bunch of abused Rwd cars too, are those worth it?
How about EP3?
>>13990991
Ep3 is better chassis overall than the rsx, however it's slower than the type s,, all of them are riced usually, usually people swap k24s in like I am with mine,, needs a 22mm or bigger rear sway to make the car oversteer
>>13991067
I swear that's one of the best color combos on any car.
fuck it, fuck this. I never have the right tools on me and i keep getting stuck. I'm just gonna take this bitch to the fucking shop because i am too inept to do maintenance on my own.
/hg/ how dumb is it to buy an 89 CRX Si with 250k on the engine? Not rusty as its from Florida and I know these cars can go forever, just how much longer am I looking at till the thing dies? The belts were done 20k ago and theres been miscellaneous things replaced on it. What am I in for?
>>13991670
The engine will need to be rebuilt, something that old will have spaulding on the cams, on the heads, misc gunk and shit
You'll need to clean the I injectors by hand, replace practically all gaskets and seals.
In a scenarios it's a project car
>>13991670
>>13991701
an old car will pretty much be a project car if its the original engine.
the engine in my crx has been swapped but as i have no way of knowing the actual milage i'm making preparations and rebuilding one on the side
Hey guys.
So, I just bought a 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH, and I don't regret it. Fucking awesome car, and fun to drive.
The car runs great and there aren't a lot of problems. The main problems are just parts that are missing, a busted motor mount, or shit that's been ghetto rigged by the previous owner. None of it really bothers me except for one thing I noticed: When the car is idling, usually when I stop at a stop light/sign, or when I first turn the car on, the engine revs up about 500 or so RPMs and back down, and back up, and down again and continues doing that. I popped the hood, and the entire engine lurches back a bit and goes back to its "rest" when the rpms drop, before going up again. Anyone know what the problem is? What should I check or fix? Here's a video so you guys can hear and see it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO7Og6VYJc8
>>13991765
OH, and I forgot to mention that, after I drive the car for a bit, it'll stop doing it and go back to normal until I leave it for a while.
Car is too risky to drive now but here's some nice crew shots.

And alright! I'll go do that soon. I'll probably have to wait until my repair manual gets here, because the guy I bought it from didn't have it or just never gave it to me, so I bought one online. Unless you happen to know where I could find a PDF for it? I've tried looking around online and couldn't find shit.
>>13991915
Not sure I know where to find one, I've not owned an H series yet.
>>13991946
Oh, well, no worries man. Thanks anyways. I'm gonna throw this in a notepad file so I don't forget about it.
I'm gonna make a video showing the noise my transmission is making later. Would be awesome if I could pinpoint the issue. Most I've done so far is change CV axles so I hope it's not too bad.
>>13992940
OK did some searching and I think it's the throw out bearing. Sound only occurs when clutch is pressed. Shifting and all that feels fine. Sound gets worse as I get the car going in first then goes away when the clutch pedal is fully released.

RIGHT FĄM?
>>13994884
They have the F series engine which is considered to be really good, and don't weigh a whole lot.
>>13994947
God are you the resident Honda apologist or something
Why would anyone buy the 92 Accord over the prelude Si of the same year
Hell, get a 5th gen lude
Why do you fucks settle for fwd when you can get cheap rwd sport coupes for the same price anyway

why the fuck would anyone choose an Accord over a civic for performance and potential

Also which cheap rwd sport coupes? name them, cite sources pl0x

F22a6 CB Accord is the best commuter car Honda made in the 90's.
>>13995243
Even a non turbo z31? Why
>>13995243
But the Accord is way heavier dip shit!
Even this guy knows that RWD always wins
>>13995345
Because I like comfy grand tourers more than intermediate sport coupes and commuter cars.
>>13995357
Than the prelude? depends on trim, but also the F22a is waaaay more reliable than any 1G B series.
>Even this guy knows that RWD always wins
Eh, debatable; I also really enjoy featherweight FWD cars, my personal preference is:
RR > MR > AWD > FR > FF
>>13995437
The CB7 nearly weighs the same as a prelude, which with h series makes 200hp
>>13995437
man this asshole ain't no initial d ass shit
>>13995452
Fuck off dagumi
>>13995442
I was specifically talking about B powered Preludes, and still I'd say the F22a is more reliable than the H22a.
They seemed to have solved _some_ of the issues with FRM cylinders by then.
Largest downfall of the 3G is the halfbaked B20a and B21a. Throw a F22a or H22a/H23a and suddenly it lasts three times (F22a) or twice as long.
I'm eccentric though, I'd prefer a 4G Prelude S (F22a) over an Si (H23a) or Vtec (H22a). I've never been a fan of Honda's bleeding edge of tech (Except for the mechanical 4WS of the 3G Prelude, and there push to move there F1 PGMFI into passenger cars, which coincidently tie in with Soichiro still holding sway*)

I don't even know if I'm gonna need the clutch. Maybe I should replace it anyway so I don't have to open her up again for a while? I know third gear likes to slip if I'm driving hard enough but I think that's a whole different issue entirely.
>>13995662
>I should.
>https://archive.is/2M73j
Got bored and did it for you lol.

Never speak of this evil again. There is absolutely NOTHING useful on those forums, other than the random link to Dan's VW page.
Also might as well replace the clutch, and the flywheel resurfaced (or replaced)
>>13995698
Thanks m8
Was thinking about the flywheel and I'll get it resurfaced. Spent way too much money lately so can't get a new one. It's still very driveable but that throw out bearing noise is real bad until it gets rolling.
Meant to wake up way later but I guess I didn't need much sleep.

If these niggas make a coupe version, I know what to save up for.
Got myself a gopro this weekend. I'll make some videos as soon as I figure out where to mount it. I don't want to use the adhesive mount it came with only to find that I don't like that camera position. I've been looking at alternatives and I may make myself a magnetic mount so I can put it anywhere.
>>13998299
What about the small rear quarter passenger window? You do have the suction mount right?
Have it inside pointing at the center of the windshield. Recline the seat if necessary.
>>13986351
Forgot to say I will update your pic
>>13998396
It didn't come with a suction mount and I don't want to pay $40 for one. I ended up going to home depot and getting a strong magnet and rigging something up. It'll probably work, but I'm gonna rig a tether to something just in case.
It worked great, a bit shaky but I think that could mostly be blamed on the hood being wobbly. Wind noise was high but that was expected.
>>13997883
LOL
Is that code from pigfat understeering shitsockmuncher?
>>13997654
$16.74 for two quarts says my last receipt. Most clutch kits will come with one if you buy the kit.
Doing a clutch in a B series sucks. D series is not hard, you're lucky.
>>13998795
Bought three quarts and it cost $28.78. Must have gone up in price, $8.82 per bottle. Would have been cheaper with Amazon. I bought the clutch kit from my friend and the tool disappeared.
Dealer still has a ton of 9th gen Civics on the lot. Bet they're gonna drop the price a ton to make room for the 10th gens that are already there.
Got my new wheels/tires on today. Just need to paint stock center caps. Anyone know where I can find some red vinyl "H"'s for the centercaps?
I was just about to go take my fixed wheel off the hatch and try painting it but work called literally right before I got out of my chair. Damn.
I need the money anyway though it probably won't be much.
Hey y'all. Checking out a 1984 Civivc wagon with the 1.5L engine and 5 speed manual. For 800, frame looks okay. Little rust, lot of mold. Interior is Clean as fuck. What can you guys tell me about these little cute things?
>>13999533
It's carbureted as well. Never driven a carbureted car.
>>13999533
From experience, I can only say check the balljoints. A friend of mine had one and one of the lower ball joints failed and left him on the side of the road. Car survived (was only going ~30mph) and with a cheap replacement from the junkyard it was up and running. I don't know if it's a common problem on them (probably not) but as with any car that age you should look it over really well for worn out parts (or have a mechanic).
Neat little car though, although when you floor it, it won't go any faster, just get a bit louder.
>>13999573
Lol. Thing doesn't even have more than 100hp. The CV Axle boot is rip, but then again so is mines. I'll check the control arm and the rack and pinion if I can.
question, does the front have any coils or is it just a strut???
(Sorry for sideway pictures. I'm on my phone.)
>>13999601
coils I think, but it's been years since I've looked at one.
>>13999533
Guessing it's not the 4WD pushbutton.
Check the torsion bar tube mounting points for rust.
>>13999601
>question, does the front have any coils or is it just a strut???
This always fucks with my head because people use terms interchangeably when they shouldn't
Should be shocks up front, and struts in the back.
Other than that, enjoy the rev happy little 74hp bugger EW1
>Paging El Sable [drives an 86 wagovan] and L24 [drives an EW1 hatch] tripfags
I've got an EW1 CRX but I haven't touched it since I bought it, think it's got a blown headgasket, or warped block/head because I have milkshake coolant
>But the oil in the pan, and head are clear...

Nope not the 4WD.
Torsion Bar??? Is that the bar in the back?
Sorry dude, I'm use to people calling all the shock absorbers as "struts".

I'll dump some pics that might help (Though it's a CRX, it's the same suspension)

Yo f a m, at what interval (km) should I replace my timing chain on a civic? I was planning on driving till 125,000 kilometers before having it replaced.
Car is currently at 104,000
>>14004990
I think they say to do it every 60k miles so 100k kilometers in rest-of-the-world measurements.
So my wheel's rim was machined and is now smooth as fuck. Should I sand it before I prime and paint? What grit? Gonna be doing it before the weekend.
>>14004990

Do you mean belt perhaps? Timing chains don't get touched unless they get noisey

Should I upgrade suspensions, get roll bars/sway bars, and increase handling performance first or save up to drop in a #JDM k20a and rsx transexual?
>>14006381
always do suspension first
otherwise you'll end up with a fast, but very floppy car. I learned that the hard way
>>14005353
how smooth, like polished smooth? you don't want a mirror finish or the paint won't stick. It should be scuffed (hazy, lots of very fine scratches you can't feel). Also make sure you use a surface prep agent to remove any grease or oils.
>>14006469
I'll take a close up pic when I get home from work. It's pretty smooth though since the guy put it on a machine to shave off material until it was smooth all around.
>>14006392
Suspension I think is more expensive than bolt ons and intake manifold,
I wanted to do suspension first, and then I heard my buddies rsx-s with buddyclub exhaust and I decided to do race headers with hks straight exhaust which I get compliments on all the time, the biggest upgrade though is rubber I went from getting horrible lap times to competiting, unfortunately rubber is super expensive and I ended up buying a k24 to do my k20z head swap on with type r cams which I jumped the gun. I sold my 24 mm rear sway to fund the engine project, in hindsight o shouldve put the rear sway on
Hey guys, whenever I start my car in the morning, the revs stay really low and it sounds like death. I have a webm, but i don't think sound works in /o/

Very low RPM? Is it like that all the time with your foot off the gas? Must be a dead idle air control valve. It should be on the back of the throttle body.

You can get a 22mm sway bar for $20-40
Stiffer than OEM shocks normally cost $40 each.
