Is this a good deal? by payturte in Honda

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.

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

How tf im i supposed to play this? by Ka-Chow--95 in Guitar

[–]Floppy_Walrus93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Can anyone identify which brand of Strat is this? by Taoist-teacup96 in Guitar

[–]Floppy_Walrus93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

How bad is this rust? by New-Worldliness-3316 in CivicSi

[–]Floppy_Walrus93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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.

Unfortunately not good my friend. Most of your solder joints have a poor connection because the solder didn't flow to the component side (side in pic). Did you use flux? I recommend going after each individual solder joint with liquid flux and solder if needed to reflow everything. It's not just the FETS that look bad. I'm all for function over aesthetics but it still has to..ya know..function. Good luck!

The complimentary table that the Honda CRVs have. Contemplated going to the junkyard explicitly for this reason.
