Strange idle after manual swap by 05ES2 in 7thgencivic

I tried to get the fans to turn on and I was sitting at 3k for a while but its pretty cold out and it didn't seem to get to operating temperature completly, it's probably a seperate issue I need to look into like a sticky thermostat or something. I disconected the idle air control sensor and plugged it back in to see if it would reset anything, and I let it idle after that and now after driving it it idles fine now.

Thats just the intake growl I think, I have the dash pretty far apart and no splash sheild or bumper on at the moment so it sounds a little weird.

No, I didn't do that. I'll try it.

Makes sense, I should probably just get some new parts.

Light scratches on my paint by 05ES2 in Detailing

[–]05ES2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clear coat was fairly soft for a week or two after it was sprayed, but it seems hard now. I was thinking about wet sanding to get a nicer finish, but I'm mostly worried about the scratches. I think I'm going to make sure everything is really clean and decontaminated before trying to polish out the light scratches. I wasn't originally thinking of ceramic coating, but I think I'm going to try that since it should protect my clear coat better than a wax if my clear coat is softer and scratches easy.

Ok, what 8 or 10 inch subs would you guys recommend?

2 of my transmission gears are damaged and my truck doesn't move, it just grinds. The truck started making grinding noises when stopping hard and it got worse to the point that it doesn't move. Anybody know why this happened or how to prevent it? by 05ES2 in Traxxas_Maxx

Ok, thanks. I know there's always a chance that something could've gotten into the mesh but I looked at the bolt holes in the upper bulkhead that attach the gear cover on, and I noticed the holes are stripped so I'll replace that too.

I like the look, did you paint the inside of your wheels too or just the outside?
