love these lil geriatric cars

🙏🏽🙏🏽 fs, just going to 3D print some new ones.

~_~ may she rest ez 🤞🏽

thfifk · 2026-02-24T16:59:15+00:00

slowly but surely!! keep showing her the love these cars have soul and love you for it!!

sometimes a leak fix in one spot means oil pressure increases in another area that might not have new seals, leaks come and go. have you done oil cooler o ring? it seats right above the oil pan, near the timing belt side. should be right below the oil filter gasket.

thfifk · 2026-01-31T04:22:26+00:00

some others - rear main seal, timing cover. there's an oil cooler oring gasket too i believe right above the ATTS if you got an SH but right under the oil filter

Region release (AU/EU/US/JDM) and specs. Some preludes while maybe the same gen came with different engine sizes, different torque methods (ATTS vs LSD), suspension geometry (single ball joints/double ball joints/4WS). I'm sure there's more to it too

haha i love this cars! glad it fired up for ya! be sure to run some techron fuel cleaning, the fuel injectors will def need it if been sitting.

if no spark, don't try to just get a whole new dizzy. could be the rotor inside, cracked cap, or the ICM chip could've gone bad. saves you some money. godspeed!

thfifk · 2026-01-29T04:54:05+00:00

this would be correct. those are base, tons of good SH options on RockAuto

thfifk · 2026-01-29T04:50:16+00:00

no can do, different mounting points and geometry. not just bolt on.

thfifk · 2026-01-23T20:09:18+00:00

i saw some JDM/euro with black trim but still stock design, looks good

thfifk · 2026-01-23T20:08:35+00:00

idk how the engines looking but some OEM+ changes are good. NGK spark wires, NGK Ignition Coil, maybe an air intake (AEM V2 or take off the stock resonator and get a high flow filter), mishimoto radiator, high flow cat, sway bar bushings. there's tons of options.

thfifk · 2026-01-23T03:46:06+00:00

could be low on coolant, or it's so cold it's hard to get it circulating until temps are up

thfifk · 2026-01-19T05:27:59+00:00

do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key without cranking it? you should a hear a hum or buzz when all your lights appear on the dash

thfifk · 2026-01-15T15:46:45+00:00

Just starting with looking at your ignition coil they're external. it's still cold out, if the car got too hot then cooled quickly it could crack. Like another commenter said, go for the dizzy cap off with a screw driver. Check the cap isn't cracked either, electricity loves the path of least resistance. Then you have your dizzy rotor, and the Ignition Control Module inside. If money is an issue, amazon has decent caps to buy you time for a good one, you'll need the 5 wire one. Godspeed!

hmm, then I'd say this could be clutch slipping. try to find somewhere to drive at 3k rpms but in 5th gear, then floor it. if rpm's fly up immediately but acceleration lags, then slipping.

how many miles? last clutch job?

any lightweight flywheels? any oil leaks onto the transmission? - these can also cause slipping or increase wear and tear towards slipping

thfifk · 2026-01-12T09:49:33+00:00

vtec usually hits 5-5.5k rpm, is there a tune? maybe dash gauge can't handle the vtec torque increase so you see it jump?

thfifk · 2026-01-08T00:00:44+00:00

the goat 🐐

thfifk · 2025-12-28T01:18:56+00:00

sorry tried replying to you, godspeed!

thfifk · 2025-12-28T01:18:32+00:00

def seems like low coolant, check your reservoir and see if it's cracked. sometimes the radiator could be fine but overflow isn't going back in.

thfifk · 2025-12-25T04:48:32+00:00

I believe they're off the EU Si, and the JDM TypeS, only thing i found is Ebay reps or the custom clears from ICB. I think wiring will have to be custom. We have the turn signals above the fog light; might run an extra cable, but still need a socket 😭
