    Nice! I took the MSF course a few years ago. Everyone passed except one person and we all felt bad because they had to do the walk of shame outta there (we were in the middle of a large parking lot). That being said, she dumped the bike twice and nearly fell off on her final test.

    Looks good! I had to get my car inspected by the new year, and NYS law now requires a tint meter check. They forced all inspection stations to get tint meters, etc. NYS law says no darker than 70% (which, when factoring in OE tint, it's almost at 70% without any film applied). Tons of people...

    Just bought a 98 have a couple questions

    29k?! That's awesome. Might just need a fluid change. 29k on a 20 year old car.. it likely did a lot of sitting. Otherwise there may be an issue with it, it should still shift smoothly.

    New Tail lights created a leak in my trunk.... anyone ever have to address this issue too?

    Replace the taillights tbh. They're probably eBay specials, which means they're likely poor quality. There's also little gaskets behind them, they're either missing or need to be replaced.

    D15B Vtec raw gas smell from exhaust

    Does the CEL work? Sounds like you've mostly answered your own question... you have a fuel leak somewhere. Likely not from the exhaust as it wouldn't be raw fuel. Jack the car up and look for leaks.

    manual swapped ek coupe wont crank or release key.

    That might work, but I never had to do any of that with my auto to manual conversion. @thatcivickid , cut the 14P plug, splice 2 black wires and the 1 black/blue wire together. This just tricks ECU to think the car is always park and will allow you to release the key. If you still have your...

    CC Beer Thread

    I will get back to you on beers / info shortly! You do the same.... lol As for shipping, I've only done it a few times myself. Always heard to never use USPS; FedEx is recommended. Use a bunch of bubblewrap, pack things tightly, and if shipping glass just make sure the bottles aren't touching...

    Possible new to me 1995 Honda Civic EX Coupe

    How's the condition of the body? Any rust? That would sell instantly up here in NY if were rust free, lol. Honestly that seems like a pretty good deal. It sounds like you're mechanically inclined and have already identified most issues with the car. Clutch, water pump, and timing belt were done...

    Speedometer not working even after replacing sensor

    PCB joints likely need resoldering. Oven trick may fix it temporarily, but and especially if you're in a place with cold weather, might not last long. May need to swap out the PCB.

    What year manifold? I believe with 99-00 mani's there's an extra port you need to block off.
