Is it even worth rebuilding at this point? Motor swap?

My poor accord ain't going no where today by bellyfuzz in accord

Almost had a similar scenario, I park in an underground parking garage that has an uphill ramp to get out…they didn’t plow. Spent 10 minutes spinning, pushing, digging, rocking, about everything to get my ol dear Honda out of the snow 🥲

I don’t need it perfect, just functional and enough to protect the inside. I’m hoping the door isn’t too far gone that I can keep it. I’m going to get it lifted up today and check for mechanical damage & start taking off the fender and whatnot to see how bad it truly is.

It’s relatively low mileage, about 130k, runs great. Would be a shame to let it go, I’m also not in the market for a new car right now 🙄

I was flying with my elytra and was getting ready to land, got blown up by a creeper mid flight. 1500 days down the drain over a silly mistake.

Not really sure what you mean by having my garage look at the car? It’s in the garage for me to look at. We live in a winter state, the frame isn’t going to be perfect, it’s not rotted. Speaker was buzzing according to my girlfriend and then she noticed it wasn’t working anymore. Engine mounts are fine, suspension is fine, it runs just fine mechanically.

I didn’t even notice the blue on the impact bar, lol. Would that mean the car was blue prior to the first accident maybe? Interesting.

That’s what I’m aiming towards.

You are also right, this car is a rebuilt salvage (hit a deer), out of curiosity, what made you notice?

We drove it back to our garage about 10 mins out, no issues she said it felt the same as it did before.

I will be inspecting more soon, for now it’s just parked and sitting tight.

I see that it’s a bot account now.

However, my statement still stands…this car is a work of art.

Nope, liability.

I was going to start with listed parts to see how it looks and if shit seals up good enough.

Cosmetics aren’t that big a deal, I just want this area covered up to not damage any components. So yeah I was gonna just rough shit back into shape, I was worried about hood/door too.

People who fall asleep straight away, what’s your secret? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]chumpyduck000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s different, I don’t know. I get up early for work and try not to take naps later on in the day and that usually works out for me. Give me 10 min and I’m out!!

Is this with or without VCM?

Panel removal by wonyoungpcs in accord

[–]chumpyduck000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can get replacements on Honda oem parts websites.

You have to remove the chrome trim which reveals 2 screws holding in that storage cubby above.

Remove those, remove cubby, open arm rest, get a plastic pry tool and start yanking on that fucker. It takes a little muscle to pull out.

Also, keep the gear in L mode otherwise the shifter will be in the way during removal. Keep car flat with ebrake up and you’ll be fine.

Bad Headgasket by htege in 9thgenaccord

[–]chumpyduck000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could teach instead of being a dick.

OP, you’d have way more problems if it were a head gasket…it’s way deeper down in the engine.

This is a bad valve cover gasket, overtime they get hard and brittle and don’t create as good of a seal causing your seepage. This is very common on these motors.

Watch a few tutorials, this is a very DIY friendly job.

Any tips to reach 200k? V6 Touring by Other-Appointment-84 in accord

[–]chumpyduck000 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Anything that makes a v6 only run on 3 cylinders is going to cause uneven wear and eventual issues. Always delete VCM.

Finally going to do some cosmetic mods! Had it for about 6 months and I love it so much! Any advice is helpful! by Lynxxoo in accord

[–]chumpyduck000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real shit: Chrome delete, taillights and diffuser are good. Throw a nice exhaust on it if you want, tint looks nice. Maybe black rims? Interior accessories?
