First for never getting anything done to my car.
>tfw lazy cunt
First for ANSWER MY FRIGGIN QUESTION PLEASE
>>14663239
>>14664696
I know that feel
It also shows in the fact that I never post here anymore, real life stuff has taken precedence over both my car and /hg/
I at least need to wash my car, I owe it that much. I've put over a thousand miles on her in the past 10 days and it has taken it like a champ.
>>14664723
I'm not a Honda genius but I think the B20 would be easier and is likely more documented online. Either one is gonna be moderately difficult.
>>14664723
Depends on a multitude of factors, like do you want to retrain 4wd, how much money you want to spend etc.
I can tell you there's no clear cut answer.
If you are looking to boost an engine, tho, bigger displacement is usually always better for making power, as you more displacement is more exhaust, more exhaust means a bigger turbo, a bigger turbo is more power.
Simplicity sake, I'd probably go with a NA B20.

Yeah I totally could have installed my new hood release cable but I was tired from getting up early to get the Corolla tires. At least I managed to accomplish something.
>>14664797
Lel I'd be asking if he's got any parts to sell.
I've had an 05 civic ex special edition coupe for two years now.
One engine rebuild(blew head gasket, needed new head) , a worn out wheel bearing, and rotted ball joints all around.
This car is fucking me on repairs, and I maintained it pretty well.
Currently at 130,000 miles.
Should I cut my losses and dump it before something else breaks?
>>14664913
Needing a new head after a blown head gasket usually means you were running some distance with a blown head gasket. A blown head gasket usually results from over heating. How did you know you blew a head gasket and needed a new head?
>wheel bearing
>ball joints
Those are maintenance items. Avoiding pot holes and slowing down on train tracks will prolong their lifespans. If it's automatic, I'd automatically get rid of it if you don't do the trans fluid change every 30k miles.
>>14665093
I'd keep driving it until I notice the transmission having problems. That's when shit will really get expensive.
>>14665300

LS series is my favorite, I want one badly.
Damn can a nigga get back on the OP?
I have a 1992 Prelude S with the f22a1 engine. It's a great car, and I've been doing small upgrades and repairs ever since I got it (new clutch, a/c compressor, new paint, minor interior repairs, etc. It's now in very good shape comfort/looks wise, and I was wondering what my options are performance wise. Mostly I'm looking to squeeze a bit more power out of the engine, seeing as it's a non-vtec model and only makes ~130hp.
After snooping around on some forums it seemed like I could either upgrade by swapping out parts from later engines like the f22a4 and the h22, or I could run a turbo.
Could a f22a1 go to ~200-250hp on stock internals? It seems like a solid engine, but I haven't been able to find a lot of info online. Most people are using the h22 or are pushing for 400+hp monster set ups, while I just want my DD to be able to 0-60 in less than 10 seconds.
>>14665730
Ayy yo my homie Johnny, you need to prove it's yours mow since trolls were grabbing craigslist pics and I gave them e benefit of the doubt. Basically time stamp/hg stamp, food on hood, title with everything censored but color, model and year, or WAT or /osg/ stickers to prove it's your TL. You can use any picture of your TL after you prove it. Do t forget to post the year too.
>>14665731
The nigga verv has a build on this engine, I think his franken setup makes around ~225 or something of that sort.
You have a damn solid engine though. You should go F20B if you swap, it's the better H22A
>>14665752
Lot of work..here i am at my job at honda
>>14665782
Pic is sadly not mine. Mine looks a bit rougher, but it runs well.
Good to hear a turbo is worth a shot though. I might try and do it as a project over the summer. What sites do you guys recommend for information? I'm new to wrenching, but I taught myself all about computer hardware through the interwebs, I figure I can do the same for cars easy enough.
>>14665821
In my complex
>>14665827
Lol next time your wife does that write /hg/ on her toes
>>14665822
CB7 forums will help a lot. The F22A1 has iron cylinders, so it'll take boost like a bitch. A 4G63T turbo manifold + turbo will bolt right onto that, so those are cheaper than shit and easy to find through EbayDM or just about anything else.
Is it possible to buy stock parts from Honda dealerships? I know at mine you can buy care motors but I was curious if I could get pieces for my older 98 ek
>>14666038
>care motors
Fuck I meant crate engines
>>14666076
Yeah but the price is usually pretty high. Look up Majestic Honda and there's a full list of every single part in your Honda and the part number to take to a dealer. Or you can order directly from Majestic. I usually just get the part number and find it on eBay.
>>14666038
What crate engines can you even get from Honda anymore?
>>14665982
>4G63 manifold bolts onto an F22
For real? Or did I just misread your post?
>>14665093
Welp, you've hit the nail on the head, so to speak.
I didn't even know that I should have been preemptively changing ball joints/bushings/bearings/etc. I suppose I should consider replacing the clutch soon. The gearbox(or anything else in the tranny) should be fine, right?
Yeah, it overheated on a 2 hour drive, I was pushing it pretty hard and didn't notice the temp. It was running fine, but apparently the radiator or coolant pump shit the bed.
Do you know of anything else I should replace?
I'm at the point where it's either sink $4000 into it and repair everything and maybe a few upgrades and a paint job
>or
Just say fuck it and get a new car. Problem is, I want something similar, but I can't stand the new Civic coupes.
The 2005 EX is somewhere between a Miata and a Mustang, and I appreciate that. Not sure what else I'd go with.
>>14666254
You can't get crate engine no more but they can buy an engine the same as your car from a junkyard.
>>14666521
I've had a similar experience.
My car overheated a couple hours away from home, I noticed it just in time before it go all the way to the top (temp gauge) because I smelt coolant. I drove like that for 10 miles (hit 55mph, kill the car, rolling start at 10mph while heater on full blast). I got it towed after I found a house to borrow a phone. I was in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and had no signal. The radiator shit the bed in my scenario.
The coolant pump going bad in Hondas are unheard of. A stuck thermostat can also cause an overheating problem. Check your coolant reservoir and see if there's some left. If not add to full line and check it every time you drive for about a weak. If it's gone down within a week you have a leak somewhere. You can look for the leak. If you can't find it try replacing the hoses. If it still leaks, replace the radiator last since it's the most expensive part.
>I should consider replacing the clutch soon. The gearbox(or anything else in the tranny) should be fine, right?
As for the clutch you can check it by going WOT (wide open throttle) and see if the clutch slips. If your gear pops to neutral or grinds gears when shifting constantly and normally, you probably need new synchros. A good way to maintain the trans is replacing the trans fluid every 30k miles with genuine Honda manual trans fluid. (I'm long overdue on mine tbqh, too lazy to make an apparatus to fill it).
>other things to replace
Expect the alternator to shit the bed before 200k miles. Just keep an eye on your electrical stuff. Dancing needles on your gauges can be a symptom of an alt going bad. Mine shit the bed too. Second time my car needed to be towed.
>bottom line
It's a nice car stick with it. It will be more expensive in the long run if you keep buying new cars (monthly payments).
pic related when my car got towed the first time because my radiator shat the bed
>>14667164
Thanks for the advice.
As for the overheating, I've already had the radiator, hoses, pump, etc replaced, as well as a full rebuild with a new head + head gasket due to the damage.
I think I'll keep the car for now, but I suspect I'll have to replace the clutch soon.
Another bonus is that the stock speakers are actually quite good. I might consider adding a small sub soon once I get everything mechanically sound.
Side note:
Have you ever thrown a P2646 code? It says my VTEC pressure switch is stuck in the 'ON' position, and currently I'm rev-limited to 4k RPMs with no VTEC.
No shop I've talked to knows a sure way to fix it, but I suspect it wasn't wired correctly when I had the engine rebuild redone.
P.S.:
Has anyone ever dipped their car? I'm considering it as I doubt I'll keep the car for more than 2 more years or so, and a full paint job is tits on ass expensive.
>pic related is my civic ex
>>14667164
I forgot to mention one of the PO's replaced the head gasket so it was fine after driving carelessly without a radiator for 10 miles.
pic when alternator shit the bed
>>14667240
>implying I have vtec
And you don't really need it I guess. If you need to get it fixed for emissions testing take it to a Honda dealer. They're going to rape your booty hole when it comes to labor but they'll fix it.
Dipping the car properly can last over 3 years. A friend of mine has a golf he dipped in 2013 and it's still in good condition; not pealing anywhere.
So I haven't had time to install them yet, but I just read that headlights with reflectors in them won't work with the colourvision. How do I know if my headlight have reflectors or not?
Pic related are the headlights I'm going to install.
>>14667498
You see that stalk in the middle of the assembly? With the curved end? That's the cover for the bulb and reflects the light back into the reflectors that have the mirror finish that surround the stalk
Whats colour vision?
>>14667508
Philips colourvision, it adds a touch of 1 of 4 colours to your headlights.
So I'm fucked then?
>>14667521
No, I've seen people running around with bluish bulbs in standard reflector assemblies often, why should it be any different with any other color? Who ever told you that was a retard
>>14664503
There is no Mk.VIII european civic on your wall. So here is mine.
2.2 I-CDTI from 2008.
>>14667530
I'm sorry, but that is the UGLIEST design I've ever scene, Honda London needs to step its fucking game up
>>14667532
You wot m8 ? It's one of the best design of hatchback of the market. Fairly unique, I love it.
>>14667550
>The proportions are all wrong
>The design honestly looks like it was drawn initially by a 12 year old and someone came along and was like "I could work with that!"
I'll give you that it's fairly unique, but such a detour from Honda design language, and not in a good way
>>14667530
>>14667550
this looks like the $0.99 store brand of hot wheels trying to emulate a honda
>>14667568
>>14667615
This Civic have dithyrambic critics since it's very first time more than 11years ago. Stop acting like you discovery it.
>>14667670
I'm not just discovering it, I remember when TG reviewed it and Jeremy said it was shit compared to the previous year and the look was horrid, there's a reason it was only sold in the UK
>>14667680
>Refering to a conservatist old man to judge something totally new with a bold design
Yeah, no. As far as I love TG and Clarkson, it's not my bible especially for design point.
Also it was sold in all europe where Honda was, not only in UK.
>>14667702
>bold design
>not newspeak for risky
Jesus am I glad we didn't get it
>>14667751
Not as glad as I'm to not be on the Clapistan automotive market were you can majoritary find tasteless generic plastic sedans or trucks.
>>14667792
Except that it isn't the 90s anymore and the only thing exciting coming out of Europe sell for six figures, your market is just as bad as our except you can get 15 different engines under 1.5 liters for purse size subcompact faggotry
God bless America
>>14667817
>Be this deluded
Your market is as boring and generic as fuck. No wonder with people like you why almost every majeur automotive innovations come from europe.
Monospace ? Renault
Ludospace ? PSA
Hatchback ? Renault
Small city cars ? Europe
Find me an USA car as innovative as The Twingo or the C4 Cactus was for example.
Your market recycle in more plastic, more big and more shittier your muscle car from the past or create bigger truck to allow your fatass mommies to go to wallmart.
The vast majority of your cars are oversized, inefficient and don't even procure any driving pleasure.

About $500 and a weekend
The CRX is my dream car.
There is 91 for $2100 on CL that looks nice and stock, except it's an auto. How difficult would it be to complete a transmission swap?

>>>14670694 (You)
>oh well neat then, thanks.
Don't be such a fucking baby, it can be done because it's been done a lot, if your looking at having someone else do it I would guess ~$2500
>>14670713
Yeah, it should give me something fun to do, and I could definitely use the experience.
>>14670736
You just swapping the tranny or engine too?
>>14670741
tranny only
>>14670751
I couldn't tell you how to do it but I would assume there are threads about them on Honda tech or crx forums, its going to involve cutting the floorboards though, you're also gonna need a three pedal assembly and all the cables, is the CRX an Si?
>>14670762
Aren't CRX autos DX trim only?

Hello darkness, my old friend...

https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/5459067109.html
This is the vehicle in question.
9th gen civics. Good not good?
Joined the senpai last night. Checked out the 07 Civic SI and it was in really rough shape, and I'm not well versed enough to fix it up.
I did however score on an 08 LX that still handles like a brand new car for all intents and purposes. Interior looks fresh, hell it hardly looks or feels like it has 120k miles on it, and I stole that car for $7000 out the door.
I'll just shoot harder for an SI next time. I'm still happy to be a part of the Honda senpai.
>>14672448
Ah I see, that's what the filter does. Oh well, lessons learned.
>>14671051
I believe you're right
>>14671624

Thanks mod, I haven't posted on /mu/ for give or take four or five years.

And it's a fucking goodbye like nigga who the fuck cares if you're leaving a Chinese board for screen pictures. Fuck I just was to shitpost on /o/ is all.
Finally got the parts in to finish my valve swap.
Put my new hood cable in. No problems aside from it raining near the end. Also got mad wear on the inside of my tires. Fuck.
>>14674384
Do you plan on hot tanking the head and all that?
>>14674437
My tires are already wearing despite 900 miles from me and 24 hours of Lemons. RIP alignment, I just don't want to shell 70 bucks for it.
>>14674980
I'm thinking I might need to pick up a front camber kit. They cost twice as much as rears though. ;_;
>>14674999
Why a front camber kit? The tire wear?
Check out all your balljoints for one. If the coilovers you have are lower, then you'll need a kit to correct it. For handling purposes, your better bet with FWD is camber in the rear anyway, front needs to be corrected.
>>14675015
Yeah. I'll take a look at the ball joints too. Maybe I can find a used kit locally.
>>14675041
That looks like front upper control arm wear right there.
Collage please
>>14675723
More pictures for proof
>>14665982

He's high. The 4g63t doesn't bolt right up. It does bolt up, if you modify it a little, and cut off your front engine mount. lol
>>14675723
>>14675735
>>14675741
That's the best looking cake ever.
>>14674980
Should I hot tank it? I was considering calling up a local machine shop Monday to see if they would do it. I picked up a new timing belt and tensioner, plus all the main top end gaskets. I got a set of valve seals but I and not sure if I want it go through the process of replacing them all. Do I have to pull the seals if I hot tank it?
>>14675741
wew lad
Picked up a 91 prelude with a skillion miles the other day. Everything is in working order, but the b21a1 hasn't been addressed. Should I just drive the engine into the ground and pick up a b20a5 when it dies?

>>14677480
>>14677414
Yes it's the IACV stuck
>>14677534
Man what great timing on that. Glad I decided to order a brand new one after my idle started bouncing again.
If I see a cheap aftermarket intake manifold I might just jump on it.
Fuck this shit, it was supposed to fit based on a car check, motherfuckers. I did install the colourvision, will update tonight so you can see it better.

>>14677643
It must be non-starting honda day or something
I'm at work and it won't even click, drove fine all the way here and the battery is only a couple months old, even the starter is brand new
>>14679550
You mean the front bumper? I unscrewed it for easier access to the headlights.
OK so pressing the throttle in just a tiny bit when I crank it will stop it from shutting off. I let go of it and it's staying on. I guess the IACV is supposed to give it enough air to keep it started for that second I let go of the key? That's when it kept shutting off unless I give it gas.
>>14680445
And now it starts without any throttle at all when warmed up. I should have the new part later today hopefully.
>>14676725
Yeah, might as well while you have it off. It's a VTEC head too, that'll do it a lot of good.
>>14676759

kek you bought the facelift headlights and you have a prefacelift. My buddy did the same thing, 99-00 is different.

Hey B21, stupid question guy here, wo seeing if it was possible to swap gears on D-Series trans, mainly if it was possible to put longer gears specifically in the D series trans in the Civic Wagon RT4WD?
>>14664696

>>14681262
It was upgraded to a D16A before I bought it. I make twice the power!
>stock HP was 70
lel
I have no plans to sell so a B series may happen when I have the cash and my D dies. I just got a brand new trans for it so it'll be a while.
Any recommendations for wheels that aren't tacky as fuck while still being affordable?
Also, post interiors.
>>14681538
God damn do I miss my old Si.
>>14681542
unfortunately, that's not an Si. Just a plain ol' 06 EX
I did test drive an Si, and I must say that the interior was pretty nice.
>>14681558
Oh I know. Not much different, just Si is black with red stitching on almost everything. I just had the Sat Nav in the one I had.
>tfw I learned my car came with an aftermarket remote start system
I'm not sure how to feel about this, guys.
>>14681257
As good as that would be for fuel purposes, I have no idea. RT4WD 5 speeds are the shortest, I'm fairly certain.
>>14681661
I think I found a thread on civicwagon that said there's not much differences between the gears of the FWD D trans and the RT4WD, also apparently to give the front an LSD you need to use a Phantom Grip(RT has 12 bolts in the diff and the OBX only has 10), but apparently an OBX front LSD works on the rear diff so long as the bolt holes are machined on the OBX
Figured out my starting problem. Found an ETCG video talking about a very similar problem and it's the ignition switch. When I put the key in the on position sometimes the brake and oil lights don't light up when they're supposed to. Gotta wiggle it a bit until they do then it starts up.

heres my dc4
Guess I'm parking the civic for a while until I figure out why it won't start... I checked all the connections and fuses and everything seemed fine, maybe something in the steering wheel lock broke. Or maybe it's the switch. All I know is the only thing happening when I turn the key is a click that sounds like a relay somewhere by the battery.
>>14683475
What's it doing again? Not cranking at all? I'd take the starter over to AutoZone. They test it for free. I took the Corolla one to them before I reinstalled it to make sure it was good before climbing back under that mess.
>>14683589

I would check anyway. I know the brand new one in my Jetta shit the bed 31 days after I bought it.
Check the main relay too. Do you hear the fuel pump priming?
>>14683807
Yeah everything goes on normally, the auxiliary circuit is cut off as normal, and there is a click like a relay but absolutely nothing else happens. I got home obviously by roll-starting it and everything seemed to function normally on the way home. There was a little bit of a shudder around 2800 rpm where vtec engages but there kinda always has been, I probably just noticed it more today since I was looking for issues.
>>14683920
Kinda sounds like the Corolla. All I had was a click and nothing. I replaced the copper in the starter and it's great now.
>>14680771
Nice
>>14684204
Fucking /mu/tants
Is v-tech like free turbo?
>>14673637
Top fucking kek
Looks like something verv would write
>>14680584
Are you the RSX in the collage?
>>14684215
It's a third lobe on the cams per set of intake and exhaust cam lobes per cylinder that has a higher amount of lift for one of the respective valves and is engaged at the legendary "vtech kicked in yo" point. It has a small supercharging effect because of how it effects the swirl of the intake charge. It's a lot more like being able to have two sets of cams installed one economy oriented set at low rpm and a higher performance set at higher rpm.
If anyone wants to donate parts that's cool lol
not shitting I literally need everything you see.
>>14664503
first for rip Lumpkin
homie from Ft. worth drove a sick CRX and died today.
The first firefighters on the scene reported the driver, identified as Jason Lumpkin from Fort Worth, Texas, was not breathing. Emergency medical technicians later transported the victim to Via Christi St. Francis Hospital in critical condition.
"Spectator Bryan Hodges told KSN News he noticed the car when it was reaching the half-mile mark on the track. He said when it passed that mark, the car began to swerve left to right. When it got past the finish line, Hodges said it lost control, went left and hit the guard rail.
Hodges said after the car hit the guard rail, traveling between 140 and 50 miles per hour, and went airborne about 15 feet above the ground"
>>14684537
I'd be scared as fuck going that fast in a tin can CRX. I guess I have a reason to be. RIP
>>14684452
Damn what's going on with it? I'd hit up lots of junkyards.
>>14684557
i mean, it was a combination of all the wrong things happening at once.
he's a personal friend and he kind of skimped out on his roll cage job, i didn't know he didn't have his seat so secure (it moved while he was rolling and he crushed his neck), there was no first response on-site at the track, and the track itself isn't in the best condition.
Real eye opener as to why you need that shit, you know?
>>14684562
Yeah I saw it posted earlier in a Facebook group and that he had a half cage. I mean the cage did its job but only for the rear it looks.
>>14684574
Yeah it was posted in the group EF Heaven .
>>14684557
Got rear ended by a truck after another faggot in a new blacked out dodge cut me off and immediately threw on reverse lights. Front was smashed into tall curb after skidding in the rain downhill with a blown tire. Then at 300k the motor shit out. So it's basically getting restored. I just paid $1500 to get the trans redone brakes redone and axles and tie rods and etc shit redone. Ain't about to throw this car away. It's gonna get lowered, tuned, and just tastefully modified.
>>14684625
Damn well it doesn't look bad considering all that. I see more sixth gens than fifth gens in yards so that should help a lot. Every fifth gen I find gets picked clean. I've gotten a shift knob and a glove box handle so far. Would love a red front bumper cover.
>>14684431
so its like free turbo
>>14684654
Speaking of bumper covers. I think I'm gonna pick up one of those eBay primered ones. They're pretty cheap and my coworker is pretty fucking good with paint. Maybe get front fenders and hood too. That along with the right paint code for my car and I think shit would look great.
>fenders - $46.58
>bumper cover - $68.84
>hood - $147.50
Really not that bad.
>>14684707
The vtak memes are pretty accurate.

Where in Illinois?
Ended up ordering a set of front adjustable upper control arms, a trunk board, and a dome light because mine is wore out big time. Bout $220. I don't even keep track of how much I've spent on this car but no regrets.
What year of civic si is best?
>>14685449
It's subjective
Either 99-2000 Si
Or
2005-09 Si
What happened to honda bikefags being on the pic??
>>14667240
>>14664913
Got my Civic back today after all the repairs:
>front and rear stabilizer linkage
>ball joints in front
>front wheel bearing
>new brake pads
It's like driving a bowl of warm butter. The handling is so smooth and it's super quiet now.
Driving that fucking autotrans Ford Fiesta really made me appreciate my Civic that much more.
>>14685449
WHY IS THAT CAT SLEEPING WHEN HE HAS A HOT DRINK READY? WTF

I'm actually erect right now.

Bye gold :(
/o/ general postan shit bout you
>>14685007
Cleaned my engine bay a little. I need to do an oil change.
Are there any oem front lips for the 98+ integra that is NOT the type R lip?
>>14685536
I haven't spammed /dbt/ about the collage since the last version
>>14670696
Shouldn't be too hard my mang, my brothers swapped out and converted alot of civics, you could do it in a day if you have everything. Prob a few friends around for the extra help to get it done
So what tires should I be keeping my eyes peeled for when my Hankook tires I got on this beast wear out? What's /hg/'s recommendation?
'08 Civic LX coupe for what it's worth, just curious.
>>14686659
I use Hankook all seasons myself.
Would buy again/10
>>14686936
Toyo Proxes 4 are good and cost less too
>>14685449
>>14685488
I second the 8th gen
>>14686989
I never see /hg/ talk about 8th gens, are they some sort of taboo here or something?
>>14686018
When are you buying gold rims nigga?
>>14687055
There's a couple 8th gens on the collage. They're just not avid posters.
>>14686078
>talking shit
He's telling the truth. I lowered my civic, put better tires, removed power stewring, and put a short throw shifter to make it more fun to drive. Being manual itself is fun in my opinion since I've driven autos all my life until I got my civic.
/sci/ here. I'm starting my first real job and I need a car to get around. This will be my first car since I took the train to uni everyday for the past 4 years.
What would you guys recommend? I want to get a Honda because they seem super reliable and inexpensive. I have been gravitating towards a si because of the extra bit of power.
Thanks for any advice!
>>14687171
I'm torn, part of me wants on the collage and part of me likes staying just one car on the road out of many.
>>14685686
I assume the smell of it relaxes him and allows him to dream of a comfy life with a family.
K20A2 for higher revs or K24 for more low-end torque?
I'm thinking about getting an engine swap in my EM2. I absolutely love the car, but a little bit more power would be nice.
>ignition wiring getting bad enough to almost kill the car while driving rarely
WE CHEVY COBALT NOW
>>14687490
Not specific enough
What's your budget?
Are you opposed to purchasing new?
How many miles on the car are considered OK to you?
>>14687055
I drive an 06 EX (the grey one in the collage), absolutely nothing to complain about. I'd probably post more if it had problems or if I had questions about sik modz, but my 8th gen is mechanically sound and comfy af
>>14688123
Budget of $12000 CAD
<150 000 km
Too poor for new haha
>>14686450
Not many OE for that front end.
>>14687521
K24
More practical
>>14688315
Do you like spirited driving, or are you a point a to b man?
>>14688481
Its my first car but I enjoy driving. I want something that will last me 5 years and I can have some fun with.
>>14687583
>it's getting worse
Car lost power twice on a back road. Fug
>>14688613
Try and find an 05-08 Civic Si, you should be able to but look out and make sure it wasn't riced to shit, they have the awesome K20A4(?) with damn near 190 HP stock and manual and choice of either coupe or sedan, both look good imo
>>14688647
Probably ought to drive the corolla, familia...
I know the pain though, I'm driving the 2.2 autotragic sonoma and it's gutless motor and retarded can't-pick-a-gear transmission have me wishing I was in almost anything else my family owns.
>>14665821
>those exhaust tips
absolutely disgusting
>>14689131
Buddy using it for work so I'm driving my boss's Ford Freestar. It's awful. I'd flip over if I drove it like my hatch.
I'll get a new ignition switch tomorrow and it'll be running again.
This feels much better than that fucking minivan!
>>14689234
What year Si is that Shingu?
>>14689247
>si
>automatic
>>14689247
That's not a Si bro.
>>14689247
>>14689251
>>14689254
If only. It's pretty nice though. I kinda like the two tier dash. Co-worker let me drive it for his delivery because he isn't feeling good.
Still prefer my hatch though. These brakes are the strongest I've ever used.
>>14688653
Thx senpai
Went ahead and ripped the old switch out. The alarm was connected to it so I'll just move everything to the replacement switch tomorrow.
>>14690356
Ignition switch?
>>14690572
Yeah. Car just kept shutting off and on while driving and shut off as soon as I started it up. Had to leave the car at work because it's impossible to get started now.
Luckily my friend has a spare one for me.
What can i do with 8th gen manual accord? Outs fucking slow
>>14690720
Hondata?
I'm doing a valve adjustment.
Is it more accurate to turn the engine over by using the crank pulley? And then using the little marks and arrow to find tdc? Orrrr by just turning the power steering until the lobe is on the base circle?
I'm super paranoid about everything lol I've never done a valve adjustment. Ericthecarguy uses the power steering, but I swear I read somewhere (of course now I can't find it) that using the power steering and looking for the lobes to be at base circle can cause you to be off by like 10 degrees if you aren't perfectly on base circle...?
Sorry for the stupid question(:
>>14690720
K20A2 head and this >>14690819 with a full exhaust
>>14691498
To get TDC, the crank pulley method is best, I've personally never heard of the power steering method
>>14666521
16 coupes arent bad spec wise but they are basically accords coupes in body.
Honest ask yourself how much you can replace without a mechanic and see if or what insurance is willing to cover.
My 2001 em2 has insurance paying for 850$ worth of repairs/replacements acbelt, windshield, and struts.
>>14691559
>has insurance paying for 850$ worth of repairs/replacements acbelt, windshield, and struts.
What kind of insurance allows you to have break-fix on an old car?
Nothing I know of allows that.
I didn't get into an accident, so collision doesn't cover it.
>>14691523
Hmmm OK(: if you are curious about rotating the power steering, you could check out the Ericthecarguy video on valve adjustments(:
Thanks for you input!
>>14667240
Dont bother with paint if its two more years anon. Im in a similar situation to you. Since my ex em2 was a hand me down my parents want to help me get a newer car in 2 years. I was going to go used in 3 years but they really want to help me get a new car for some reason. Fix internals first and foremost.
Also look into the solenoid.
>>14691578
>Also look into the solenoid.
Pretty sure I'm going to replace the whole VTEC solenoid, as the switch is like $80, the whole damn thing is around $120.
Going to schedule the repair soon.
So far, after resetting, CEL hasn't come back on, but I haven't revved over 4k I don't think.
What to do when car is 1200 kilometers away from you?
Thinking of buying http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=220496245#
because the price is really good. RHD does not matter much for weekend/track car or does it?
The problem is I can't throw away 2 tanks of diesel, road tolls and 2 days just to go check if everything is ok with the car.
Anyone near the seller also lurks here?
>>14671525
Opposite of that but all are 3k and over 200k miles.
>>14691572
I thought they wouldn't
Some reason nationwide decided to cover it though so who knows.
My car is 300hp
>>14691608
And mine is 130 on a good day
>>14691583
>80$ for a solenoid
Their 50-65 from my local dealer.
Also its easy enough to replace yourself if you know how to take out the air filter to make room to do so. Try rewiring it first though.

ill add you on skype when i get home from work
so you dont own a car at the moment? have you ever own a car? do you know what needs to be inspected?

Naturlich, mein Deutsche freund. :p
I can't take it for a test drive tho, I'm on suspension for depression meds.
>>14691707
I have never owned one, driven parents Peugot, I'm immigrating soon, buying a car now would be a waste.
I do know what to look for, have helped my friend restore a 1st gen MR2 from rustheap, and I tend to watch (a lot) of youtube videos on the subject, I'll take pics and videos for you either way.
>>14691681

>EP3 Type-R
Doesn't that have the full blown iVTEC with control over intake and exhaust cams? It looks really clean if that's the one you're looking at, I wouldn't care if it was RHD or LHD if it was my weekend car, I would get it if I was you

It's great by the numbers on paper, but I bet it's completely disconnected from the driver in the same way the new NSX is, I like that Honda is now using factory turbos, I just didn't want it at the expense of a high redline
I really like old time stamped photos. It is fun to think about the car being new and actually worth something. They weren't sub $1500 shitboxes then. They still looked new and the owners actually took care of them. It's crazy to read posts on RPR that are 10+ years old and the torsion bar cars were already considered inferior to the EF's and EG's.
>>14691681
added you on skype this time for real. accept me (martin.frlin)
