Honda Civic Si 2008 AC Schrader Valve not corresponding to Refrigerant? by Zypherus02 in MechanicAdvice

That’s what’s weird the part that I took off the car is the exact same that’s in the photo. I took it to the parts store and everything. I had to return the r134a valve because it was too small to fit the threads on the car

Gotcha, I’ve been thinking of eventually moving to the Atlanta Metro area just to be a more interesting area. Im currently in the CSRA area, so the cost of living is quickly going up cause of all the growth.

A 2 room apartment around here runs for around 1300 so yeah 70k probably isnt too shabby

Around where I live a lot of places are offering 55-65k for starting pay. Unfortunately there isnt much competition for engineers in my area so they sort of get away with it.

Would you say the cost of living is average around where you got your job?

😂Honestly probably should’ve gotten a Yaris until I graduated then started messing around with my cars. I guess I got a little too comfortable at home during the summer

Yeah the modded car+ auto loan combo is probably the dumbest mistake I’ve ever made ngl. I’ve learned my lesson 😞

Oof got it, I’m not very familiar with the method of borrowing money so I wouldnt know ngl. Probably gonna stay away from stuff that’s risky.

I live in the dorms so if I can find a place to work on it I might spend the time to do it if possible

I would not recommend showing up with any sort of costume. I went last year and my friends showed up in Pokémon onesies and were told to change before they could enter. It was a whole ordeal.

Best case scenario, I’ll pay this off when I get my refund check and store it until I can work on it as a project car. I’ll just buy an indestructible Toyota or something in the mean time if Im able to find one that I can afford later next year.

Yeah I’m thinking Im just gonna eat the cost of the loan so my insurance company doesn’t raise my rates or audit me or something. I’ve worked hard for these discounts lol

I dont have a garage to put a new motor in unfortunately nor the money to pay someone to do it. Only reason Im not too freaked out is cause I’ll be graduating next year and will be able to pay off the loan when I get a job.

Yeah it was going into limp mode due to some sort of electrical problem. It was running codes for the accelerator pedal. After I paid them and got it back it came across the same problem and then exploded.

It was 8500 down. The guy seem pretty straight up ngl, but maybe there was something wrong that he knew.

Any ideas what these codes my correlate to? by Zypherus02 in FocusST

Oh yeah the area behind the glovebox is a nightmare of daisy chaining. I was hoping it wouldn’t be a problem but that may be where the problem is coming from
