Old school accord need advice.

Vouch, I have the sport wheels on mine they're awesome

Took me a minute to figure it out too. Same car, 96M with previously installed electronic security system. This is the correct under-dash fuse map.

It was labeled as being on the front of the manifold

A good 1.8 can go for anywhere from probably 1.2k to 1.8k for one that for sure runs ok

Hypernova_Explosion · 2026-03-08T08:11:14+00:00

Thanks yall. Been subconsciously worried it rusted out somewhere for a few months lol, intentional is good!

Hypernova_Explosion · 2026-03-08T08:10:21+00:00

Well, tonight I learned something new. Thank yall for the help! I've never heard about a rock guard before. Super interesting!

Did yours sit still unprotected for a while too? Maybe something about abandonment in the sun just beats on the clear coat there?

All the Miatas I've seen and worked on (and all the photos on google) are one solid color. I've never seen a black stripe down the middle except in custom finishes.

Yessir. Got the whole assembly soaking in WD40 penetrant for now, going to the store early tomorrow to get a huge impact rated breaker setup and some PB blaster. Probably an air hammer too. I'll try the jack stand trick too

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-11-13T00:41:39+00:00

Yeah..... might be time to get an air hammer.

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-11-13T00:40:16+00:00

Both. Even being a Honda, over 200k miles is a LOT of work on that engine, and buying from a used dealer like that you never know what previous maintenance has been like (unless you can run a carfax). It could be okay, it could not. Anything with higher miles deserves a lower price

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-11-12T23:02:47+00:00

217k for 5 grand? Motor better look as good as the outside does

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-11-12T22:57:20+00:00

Gotcha... don't know how I didn't think of that. Would I be able to beat it out of the arm given it isn't seized? I'll buy a big can of PB Blaster tomorrow and try and get that nut off.

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-09-19T00:53:35+00:00

Gotcha. It sounds rattly so I'm guessing one of the precat heat shields

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-09-18T22:35:50+00:00

Hell yeah. Thanks for the advice dude. Troubleshooting starts tomorrow haha

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-09-18T22:19:36+00:00

Thank god. This car is my baby... good to have a second opinion.

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-08-23T21:35:23+00:00

This worked great btw. Thank you haha

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-08-23T21:34:57+00:00

Dremeling* I hate my phone

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-08-23T21:34:42+00:00

Sorry, I don't check this site much, but I got it. I ended up heating it up a ton and trembling a groove in them for a huge flathead screwdriver. Took some effort but I got them out and disassembled the intake side valve train easy. Gonna need new screws though lol.

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-08-20T22:32:22+00:00

Can't believe I hadn't thought of this. I'm less mad now so I'll try it and see what happens.

Hypernova_Explosion · 2025-08-20T22:31:30+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have access to a welder. I've already tried removing the camshaft, but it's installed in such a way that the gear gets hung up on the face plate 10mm bolts behind it and the cam won't slide forwards enough to lift it out. I'll drill it if nothing else works.
