    Bit of a problem.with lx sedan

    Next time you get the CEL, get a code reader and see what it says. That's probably the best way to figure out the source of the problem, rather than just checking and guessing.

    Honda Factory Warranty & Modification Question?

    I had a claim thrown out when there was a hole in my transmission.. the reason? My tires were bald, so they cited neglect. 6 weeks and a lot of bitching later they covered it, but it was a nightmare to go through. (that was also 6 weeks with no car...)

    Congrats mang. Chipotle is the tits. Had it couple weeks a go, the guy had to double wrap my burrito because it was the size of a small baby.

    Decided not to turbo my car

    Rattle sound could actually be the heatshield. VERY common issue. Remove it and see if that noise goes away.

    Rear Main Seal Leak 99 Civic V

    Bring it back to the shop. Just be very nice and request that they fix the seals at no cost to you. Valve cover gasket is easy to replace but I can imagine the main rear seal is a PITA.

    Oil light flickering when running

    First step is definitely check what HeX mentioned... are you low on oil? Careful with seafoam, it can cause overheating (and kills o2 sensors). I actually think it's a factor as to why my old D-series engine blew years ago. Sometimes sludge / carbon build up keeps seals and gaskets in place...

    Decided not to turbo my car

    Intake or exhaust? You could try jbweld if it's a small hole. If it's rusted or cracked I would replace it. Not sure if jbweld would hold for exhaust manifold temps, but there's probably something equivalent.

    Need Help! Obd2b engine/harness/ecu in Obd2a Car

    Gotcha lol. You'll still have to do some wiring but it won't be tht bad. http://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/obd2b-b16a2-into-98-civic-ex-wiring-2876117/ See post 6. You have a P2T ECU right? :thumbs up

    Need Help! Obd2b engine/harness/ecu in Obd2a Car

    Merged your threads since they were both pretty much the same thing. If you plan on boosting it you pretty much have to go ODBI to get it tuned. Anyways, you should just be able to get the ODB2b -> ODB2a conversion harness and be good to go. Reuse the ECU from the crashed car since you know it...

    First time in NYC! What to do here?

    Thanks for this! I'm going to visit a friend of mine from school who landed a job out there at Intuit. He lives in Pacific Beach about 3 blocks from the actual beach so we'll be around that area absolutely. Not entirely sure what we'll be up to the entire time, but it's going to be a fun trip...

    http://www.rywire.com/product-p/ecu-obd2b-obd2a.htm Of course, you can go on eBay and find much cheaper ones. Personally I went to eBay for my ODB2 -> ODB1 conversion harness, and had no issues with it.
