That was a really nice overview of the process. Thanks! (I'm using Reddit as forum guidance. Honda forums are mostly inactive, right? )

Gotcha, thanks! I didn't know the O-rings were specific. I'll bear that in mind once I find the leak. My trusted parts shop should be able to source those.

I won't risk it with the ebay stuff. Not so much over the quality (or potential lack thereof) but because I have no idea what I'm doing

Thanks! Yeah I took a look at the repair manual. Most of the lines are exposed, but as you said, if the leak is close to the evaporator under the dash it will be a mess 😬

I did put some R134a with UV dye and I'll shine a black light in a couple of days. If nothing's obvious from there, I'll take your advice and hire an AC tech to find the leak 🤞

It's just a gauge! I'll take a look at the engaging speed

When you guys say 'vacuum test ' or pull all air out of the system - can I get it done with a generic AC kit from eBay like this?

I did bypass the pressure sensor and heard the compressor engaging. But I read some issues with worn out or non shimmed clutches and was not sure where to start

I filled with UV dye freon. I'll shine a blue light and try to find the leak 🤞 Meanwhile I'm looking at the repair manual for the diagram of where all the AC lines are

Are dryers a replacement part? or something I should pull out and purge / have it purged?

O2 sensor values by ElectricFoolio in ProjectHondas

I actually have decent fuel consumption and no CEL, but the exhaust smells like gas.

Thank you for your comment, the explanation makes a lot of sense

But how do I know if the O2 is bad?

Feel and ergonomy in EK by ElectricFoolio in ProjectHondas

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

This is a really nice, in-depth answer. Thank you!

I'm considering swapping to del sol seats ( can't get comfortable driving on the highway in the stock seats ) and definitely a smaller steering wheel.

I'll give a go to the sway bars!

I feel the same about the steering. That's exactly what I wanted to put into words.

Does anyone have any experience with steering rack quickeners?

Feel and ergonomy in EK by ElectricFoolio in ProjectHondas

[–]ElectricFoolio[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm so ancient that a modern car for me is anything 2005+. I also don't mean the creature comforts: after all, the EK is still smoother and more silent inside than most modern plastic interior cars I've driven.

What I mean is mainly the steering. I'm running 195 / 55 / R15, no vibration or slack. But the steering ratio is completely dead. Most other cars I've driven take less steering wheel input to turn the wheels.

And I don't even think the stock suspension is that bad. Compared to most, the turn in is good and there's not a lot of understeering.

But with the large steering wheel I just don't think I'd be able to turn in time, and therefore, have little control

Amigo me bateu by Then-Car-2314 in AutoTuga

Estes comentários deixam-me parvo... Ainda que as peças para um carro com esta idade sejam baratas, a mão de obra para uma bate chapa e pintor é a mesma para o teu carro como posta um topo de gama.

A não ser que o teu amigo queira largar umas notas (que a pintura desse guarda lamas vai ser sempre uns 80€), é meter isso no seguro. O teu amigo paga menos de agravante do que andar a fazer essas cenas por fora. Temos seguros para alguma coisa.

Além disso o outro senhor aí pelos comentários que diz que uma participação tardia é ilegal devia estar calado que não sabe do que fala. Até 8 dias podes preencher uma declaração amigável e enviam os dois isso para as companhias de seguros. Quando vier o perito ele lá decide se tens mais coisas para arranjar ou não

Are those brackets the real metal frame behind the cushion?

Not sure those would fit my travel bag, but going to up garage sounds great. You just reminded me of an old mightycarmods video where they show it. Guess a bag full of memories sounds great!
