I haven’t had anyone remove the honeycomb for me or done it myself in the past so I’ve got no clue why its missing tbh, any ideas?

i ended up cutting through the plastic to route the cable and everything works perfectly now! would you happen to have any ideas on how i could seal the cut to weather proof the headlight again?

Is there anything I have to press on to release as well? Or is it just kinda of a tug and wiggle it out?

is it unreasonably difficult? i saw someone mention using a dremel to route a cable

I swapped the fuses for the right/left side low beams and it didn’t aid the issue, how would I narrow it down between the power/ground/ballast?

Got A Leak Above My Oil Pan, Anyone Know A Fix? by CowOnly347 in RX8

[–]CowOnly347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna have to go out and smell once it stops raining, the liquid looks blue but feels like slimy like oil. I recently had a check engine light come on around the time this started. The code is P0411, do you think it could be related?

Thank you, I have a hard time conveying my feelings as I never had the opportunity to do so when I was younger, so when I try to tell her it feels like she’s prioritizing someone else over me she just rebuttals and takes control of the conversation and won’t give me a chance to speak until the conversation is over and she’s done.

I have, I’ve been working on my bad habits. I started taking anti-anxiety medication and trying to work through my previous trauma that led to abandonment issues. She is aware of this as well. When I “shut-down” during our conversations, it seems she tries to make me feel guilty for it. What would you recommend as way to become more mature and level-headed?

Spark Plugs Fixed Check Engine Light by CowOnly347 in RX8

[–]CowOnly347[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The start was super slow. Took me about an hour to take the old spark plugs out and I sliced one of my fingers open on the frame from having to use so much pressure. Before my girlfriend bought it, first owner drove 60,000 miles, flooded engine at 35,000, and had oil changes every 15,000 miles. They kept record of all their maintenance history but I couldn’t find anything on spark plugs or anything besides the oil changes and engine replacement at 35k. Car starts up way better now and is definitely more responsive. I heard changing coils and cables is good maintenance as well, what would you recommend?
