- Thread starter CHILD
- Start date
That would require not being lazy, that's a no fly zone for me lol
You could fab parts too
Yeah it's a manual rack. Power steering is being deleted so I wanted a proper rack instead of looping lines.
Right on! It is Monday, and I bought a bunch of ish!
Mostly OEM Honda stuff for me. About to pull the trigger on paint and dent repair, but it's tough, since that's the single biggest cost for me, aside from an engine swap.
yeah, i'm dreading the day I finally get body work and paint done.

I feel like shooting myself in the face over the indecision going on in my head... "Do I keep it silver? Do I change colors? What color would I change to? Do I really want to change colors or keep it sliver?" over and over and over again.yeah, i'm dreading the day I finally get body work and paint done.
any color but silver, there i made the decision for you
Got bored and did what I always do and polished up my Ktuned shifter cable grommet
blue magic polish applied
A few different packages showed up today but right as I left to go to work! I'll get some pics up in the next day or so.

Looks great! Ugh i have so much s**t i need to paint and polish and grind and sand....
I can't find any definitive answers by searching, but have you checked into whether your swap will pass emissions testing, legally? If I had decided to buy a 92-95 hatch, it would pass on a dyno with no problem.... but I'll have to use the pesky OBD plug for my 98.
I'm also curious how much access to the ECU Hondata gives you, because I'll need to erase the VIN# off the ECU, because Texas has updated the inspection machines to look for and pull a VIN# from the engine ECU's to make sure someone isn't plugging in one car to pass another.

I don't know about chaging the VIN in kmanager, never looked into it. As far as passing, you can have your engine harness wired up with an OBD connection so that you can plug in like normal. No CEL codes typically means a pass. I don't get the whole VIN issue, because if someone has a failed ECU and purchased a new one even from a dealer, it's not going to come with your original VIN number attatched to it.
I can't speak for Honda/Acura, but at Toyota/Lexus for new or reprogrammed ecu's VIN# gets programmed to the vehicle for anything '04 and newer... throws a trouble code for mismatched vin or no vin and sets the check engine light if it's not set.... '06 and newer gets substantially more complicated.
Suppose I'll check with some Acura tech's down the street.
I'm a state inspector, so passing my own vehicle probably wouldn't be a big deal either way, because my state rep would check with my boss before fining me and I'd have a chance to explain... I'm just curious, because I haven't seen the topic come up (except for California folks) and people always seem to 'know somebody' who will pass their car. State of Texas is starting to clamp down hard on inspectors though..
