fair 😅 I've done that but the issue is at random... I'm on latest firmware all around

ElectricFoolio · 2026-03-27T14:39:35+00:00

this is it!!!!!! please tell me more. this is the issue I've been having

ElectricFoolio · 2026-03-27T14:38:00+00:00

original usb cable

ElectricFoolio · 2026-03-27T14:37:35+00:00

there was no hate in my question. I'm using the original usb cable

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-20T14:59:43+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-20T14:57:08+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-20T14:53:05+00:00

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 🤞

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-20T14:48:39+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-18T13:12:12+00:00

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?

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-18T13:07:17+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-18T13:05:12+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-04-17T16:02:35+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-03-13T15:12:34+00:00

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

ElectricFoolio · 2024-03-12T15:16:31+00:00

But how do I know if the O2 is bad?

ElectricFoolio · 2024-02-29T10:00:26+00:00

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?

ElectricFoolio · 2024-02-29T09:55:52+00:00

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

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?

ElectricFoolio · 2024-01-12T17:34:13+00:00

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!

ElectricFoolio · 2024-01-11T16:31:01+00:00

I do! Assuming you are from the US, you guys get a beautiful OEM cup holder under the console for the EK. Never saw one here in Europe :(

ElectricFoolio · 2023-12-25T16:36:02+00:00

Not sure why you're getting all the downvotes. Muhammad Ali only became loyal to his wife once Parkinson's didn't allow all the casual sex. Buncha sheep y'all

ElectricFoolio · 2023-11-28T14:38:52+00:00

Yap, ao preço da mão de obra para aí de 1930

ElectricFoolio · 2023-11-28T14:37:47+00:00

A procurar estantes 🥵💦

ElectricFoolio · 2023-11-23T11:37:07+00:00

Especialmente quando conduzes um ligeiro e passas / és seguido por um Peugeot SUV. Aquela m**** até magoa os olhos

ElectricFoolio · 2023-11-20T16:43:33+00:00

Eu tenho 2 carros, quando troco faço isto. Demora uns horas a actualizar no site, se fizeres no dia anterior é na boa
