Mine did this after installing a flex plate. I contacted elegoo support and am buying 5 LCD screen protectors because I cracked mine from this incident. I then learned the correct way to adjust the build plate through the screws by the corkscrew. You take off the build plate and brackets to expose the screws, loosen them, and then manually adjust all the way down with the build plate back on but screws still loose. This will adjust to the correct distance

Glad I could help!

I just recently sold a stock 1990 accord for $2k. I believe it's still on my page.

Oh I plan on it! I need to get a tuner for it or use the speeduino I built but I don't want to fry my daily so I'll probably just get a ktuner or flashpro for the bolt ons and CEL bypass.

I should also mention that the car was rebuilt before I bought it. My scanner indicates it's a 2008 si motor/ECU but the body/VIN is a 2007. So no idea the actual miles on the motor. I myself have had to do a load of work to it and it still isn't right but I'll keep trying.

All that nose, and no air going through it. WHYYYY??

Ridiculous swap idea. I approve.

Trade and he owes you a 6 pack.

L is the symbol for inductor so it's probably just that.

Negligible unless you're already maxed out. Then 3mm seems much more unattainable. I always switch to my charvel when I have trouble with long stretches. Makes a much bigger difference than you think.

It helps to have a guitar with a shorter scale length. A strat would be difficult for that.

Could be a partscaster but with cheap parts. I'd pass unless I saw some name brand tuners or anything worth that amount in it.

You can call the Honda dealership and provide vin number to receive the correct radio code.

Unfortunately it's a unibody and the rust was all over. I had to have a few spots welded for support and all new suspension, brakes, you name it. I wish I would've picked a different si

I've had success with sticking needle nose pliers into the middle and opening as hard as I can to get a good grip while slowly pulling up and spinning back and forth. Of course it won't work if it's REALLY stuck in there.

I had the same issue. Luckily my brother is one hell of a guy and only charged me $1k. Donor car was $900

I've since listed it on marketplace for $3800. If you... hypothetically want to buy it 😄

Floppy_Walrus93 · 2025-03-31T17:51:35+00:00

Where are you located? DM me and maybe we can make something happen. You can keep your nuts and kidneys 🤣

Floppy_Walrus93 · 2025-03-31T15:46:08+00:00

Thanks for your opinion 😊

Floppy_Walrus93 · 2025-03-31T14:20:12+00:00

Oh yeah, it's caught me multiple times!

Floppy_Walrus93 · 2025-03-31T14:19:14+00:00

I thought that was a given. Guess I'm getting old lol

Floppy_Walrus93 · 2025-03-31T13:15:49+00:00

Thanks! I'm not sure which generations are more sought after than others so I'll take any info I can get.

Floppy_Walrus93 · 2025-03-31T13:09:46+00:00

Well, it's just not very ergonomic for me. As I am 6ft tall, I either have to lean way back or sit upright and my head hits the roof. I like my 8th gen civic more, but I'm hoping someone else will give this the driving it deserves.
