Come on man…pics!!
I have taken some more pics just not posted. Didnt really think people were still following lol.
snap what I can from here out but seriously trying to get done before any snow hits. been there done that, never again. thanks for looking!!
Rant time!!
So I go to get a new cone style air filter and exhaust gaskets. Apparently I’m a fuck*** retard and this part —> GKT-A-HONDA-2-DP <— doesnt exist. “It takes 2 crush rings sir” No it doesnt. The part is right here… So we find it in a book, “its special order” and you cant get it to me until the 5th of never. Thanks. 3 stores and 3 hrs later im ready to go godzilla on this small town of small minded fucks who dont carry the only gasket I’ve ever seen between the collector and downpipe.
No filter either. I guess you can buy it in a kit but not a replacement itself. You’ve. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Not for a second do I believe these were mass produced but unable to leave the factory unless it left with a pipe and hardware.
On another note I have 2 connectors that dont seem to have a home. I didnt move them from their zip tied home and there is nothing remotely close whatsoever :shrug: Whatever. tomorrow is another day, maybe I can calm down by then.
So I dont want everybody to think all I do is bitch/complain. Im thankful the snow held off this winter for so so long!!
So lets start with this; its why you weren’t seeing any pics. This was the day after I buttoned everything up…
Now here are the pics you wanted.
random aftermarket wire ran through firewall. Tis a mystery for now
Another unknown (told maybe pwr steering): engine harness, up and left of oil filter
And lastly I have a surprise for anyone still following…but you must wait until next post (wah wah wah). Should be tomorrow or the next day or fri at the latest. then sat leave on my trip

well these didnt all upload last night so you only get one (if i linked it properly). if not tough luck for now cuz this kat is heading south.
Story time! So wake up to foot of snow, deal with driving a couple hours (subie its ok:sipread:). Wait on alignment and plan radiator and starter replacement that evening. At napa to buy rad but the standard they had in stock (after calling to verify) had nipples for auto trans. Other location had what i want. “I’ll drive there right now” Put hood prop down to leave SNAP :wtf: Sweeeetttt! nipple for upper rad hose just broke off flush with the unit. Guess im going nowhere. Get dolly, get car, blah blah. Replace rad starter and lights in a friends barn.
Keep in mind where i am. Wind chill in negatives. Even using mech gloves barely allows you to hold metal long. Shits dangerous. Temp -7 last night.
BUT she runs like a dream so no complaints. As for the transmission gearing I love it. Cruising at 70 is around 2k 2200 rpm. Sometimes you get it to typical hum level look down and see excessive speeding…oops!
Awesome dude. well done.
It’s funny you reply first lol . I have pics you will enjoy from my trip. 1500 mile mark today
Still no pics cuz my 1st world problem of limited interwebz. sorry.
Today I cleaned IACV which fixed my hunting idle problem Idled perfectly at 750-800. Touched the throttle once and now 1200 is lowest it gets (smooth not hunting whatsoever).
-Topped off and bled system
-Return spring is not stuck
-IACV [U]IS[U] clean I can assure (damn perfectionists)
Suggestions please…
Also did some digging and here are my trans gearing vs stock
STOCKMINE
1st 3.2853.307
2nd 1.9561.809
3rd 1.3441.230
4th 1.034.903
5th .812.705
R 3.003.00
And its possible that from experience 125 is top of 4th (I-75 night)
^^^^^which is scary because of this —> http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/01/19/bridge-collapse-75-south/22031429/
My aunt who lives there wont take the double decker bridge either since she has seen fallen concrete on the lower level. This was a big issue a while back that faded; our infrastructure is crumbling.
Bad tps? Did you drop the tb at some time? Only other thing I can think of is resetting the computer and let it idle for a while till it cycles. Is your throttle cable hung up on anything? Did you plug the pigtail back into the iacv
For sure didn’t drop anything. Throttle cable free and clear, checked to make sure cable adjustment wasn’t culprit. And yes pigtail on.
On way home CEL back for:
P0505 & P0420
0420 is efficiency below threshold bank one and 0505 just says idle control system. Was told (parts store) efficiency was pre-cat o2 sensor. new denso unit installed (and connected) during trip. 0505 is why i cleaned IACV. I guess next step is to computer reset. Then if still nothing I will take it to my friend who is a honda tech and prelude guru.
Thanks for the suggestions gilcontr
And here we go!

Rem oil? :squint:
Larue makes good stuff. He’s a total whiny little prick riding the coattails of arfcom bandwagons at this point tho. But hey, if he can find a group of people willing to pay what he charges, more power to him. I still don’t like him because of his attitude toward his customers tho.
Scars are neat. I enjoyed the MK14 a little more tho. Heavier for sure, but they didn’t look like you were carrying some chick’s hipster fashion boots. :giggle:
Looks like plenty of fun to be had. I’m going on a pewpew day tomorrow.
See I’m more gear head than gun nut. BUT dont get me wrong I love things that go boom. Sadly we didn’t take the 50…that boom…:jerkoff: or the 500 pistols (the twins, gold plated)
Its funny, when we go some leave and a crowd appears. Also range supervisors set up post lol
Have fun on your range day. :hi5:
You and your damn priv-acy are making it so i cant see things go boom
changed to public, sorry bout that. youtube and i had a disagreement a short while back. :giggle:
^^^^^^and thats why we have range supervisors set up post lol. I guess they feel we are being unsafe even though the majority of our group has been in the military and knows the proper way to handle and shoot a firearm. (You would’ve been escorted out instantly, even on “rapid fire” days)
Back to the lude, the CEL tends to come on under steady throttle. Whether its 1500rpm or 3000. I have yet to experience it while actually idling.
Also noting again, on morning warm-up it will idle properly until I touch the throttle anywhere from 1-5 times. Then its 12-1300rpm idle.
Got some specs on that supra…and its for sale…
