    1st car

    I also see an evap canister which I believe JDM cars do not have. I think it's a USDM car "converted" to look like an EG4. OP, what's the VIN of the car? Then we will know for sure what it was originally.

    That's the best way to do it -- be patient and use your money wisely. I did not do this with my Civic... I took out a small loan for my boost parts, thinking I could play first pay later. It worked, but unforseen issues meant that on top of the loan, I spent a a little more than anticipated to...

    Looks good man! Excited to see it's transformation :cool: I did a full interior LED conversion last week, it's sooo bright lol

    Engine sounds like it is dying and weird exhaust dragging sound?

    Yep, as everyone else mentioned, I would refrain from driving it unless you're taking it to a shop, and even then, be very careful. The motor issue does sound like a bad head gasket to me as well, and isn't hard to replace. I would recommend getting a Helms manual or trying to find a copy...

    XpL0d3r's RSX DC5 Type-S Thread

    I think you're right, at least I hope :lol: It was a combination of two issues 1. Left rear coil just needed a height adjustment of 1/16" 2. I noticed that my rear wheels had different tires sizes, 205 compared to 225. Noticed the same on the front. I have a staggered set, so thinking nothing...

    XpL0d3r's RSX DC5 Type-S Thread

    Goes in for paint in about a month. Also, leaning towards keeping the wing, just having it repainted as it's off an 05 RSX so it's Vivid Blue pearl instead of Arctic Blue pearl like my car. Soo depending on the angle you're looking at the car, you can notice the difference.

    Damn, hopefully all turns out well dude! I have steel toe shoes for work too, and I work in an office... I was given a $75 credit at work to get shoes at a shoe truck that came by. Turns out these shoes cost $76.xx so I got them for a little over a buck. I've gotten quite used to them too --...

    Wipers over extend

    That passenger side wiper arms looks completely wrong. Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't it be bent the other way? Like this:

    99-00 hoods are all the same. 96-98 will not fit. http://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/99-00-sedan-coupe-hatch-front-ends-fenders-hoods-all-same-1874303/#post25987983

    Security was also standing by and didn't step in until the sunglasses were thrown. And it was entertaining :what: Side note, he broke up another "fight" which I also got on video, so he did his part there.

    That's a long f****ng trailer! Went to Countryfest yesterday. Lots of beer, good music, hot women, and some fights like this one that happened right in front of us. My buddy is sitting down in blue and had his back soaked with beer... I started recording this just as they all fell to the ground o.O

    Code 16 - Fuel Injectors. Brand new Beck Arnley injectors Freshly installed

    I would see if you can find a similar ECU and swap as a test before going out and spending money. People blame the ECU as an easy way out and many times -- it's not the ECU. Did you try the troubleshooting steps I provided? This will help determine whether it's an injector, the ECU, or wiring...

    Low key tonight, gone all tomorrow for another country concert. Two 30's, a portable grill, and dizzy bat all ready to go. Also. I am debating... wing or no wing? Ordered a front lip, going in for paint sometime in August. Deciding on if I should de-wing while I'm there too -- this way I can...

    Bad miss after car heats up and starts to cool

    Does your CEL work? I would suggest doing a tune up first before anything.

    Code 16 - Fuel Injectors. Brand new Beck Arnley injectors Freshly installed

    Sounds like the issue is with one of the injectors. I've heard Roc Auto is hit or miss, many mislabeled parts, etc. Do you have all the correct fuel injectors? Check the clips, make sure all the O-rings and seal rings are there and in good shape. Maybe this will help troubleshoot your issue:

    Mini me

    Whichever you can find cheapest ;) They're pretty much the same, you'd get like 2 more hp and 3 more tq out of a Y8. Y8's may have less life on them too since they're a generation later. Still, I would get whatever one is the best value around you, as long as it's in good condition.

    1st car

    Honestly I wouldn't change a thing. .. other than oil, plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor etc... the tune up stuff (if it hasn't been done in a while of course)

    1st car

    On the front of the motor towards the left where it meets the transmission, you will see an engine stamp. Something like D15Z1, which would actually be my guess. If that's the case, you're meant for good fuel economy. Granted most Civics were built for economy and not performance, but this one...
