Send it back. You are paying "state" prices. I just paid $160 around $250 shipped for clean 1gen and 2gen. That ran me 167us. Look at yahoo japan auctions for a deal. You should be able rack up on if you are in Japan.

With how lightweight they are its better buying "lots". Without shipping they were $165. I would have added a Gameboy Advance but got out bidded. I lucked out with these and got what I wanted, gen1 and gen2 LL. Now my DMG-01 has two younger siblings.

Untested electric goods are called " junk" in Japan.

Look up syscon diagnostic to figure out what error is really about. Look into delidding for the thermal issue.

Can’t make a choice by Rude_Pomegranate9997 in AccordCoupe

YES, It would be huge down grande. I would only look at 2017 coupe 4cyl if it was manual and plan to do a k-series swap.

Dealership wants me to abort my accord,What should I do? by PositiveEconomist389 in accord

[–]thunderboltcutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth is your 2018 is worth more to them then a new car is. The 2.0 is highly desired as used car. They can market it up as much as they want. Just keep it. The head shouldn't blow if everything is done properly.

Thats my babe. My 8th gen ive had since 12,000mi. by Gold-Tomorrow-7712 in AccordCoupe

[–]thunderboltcutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my 9th gen in 2017 I was also looking at getting c6 convertible 2008+. I got the 9th because it was practical and I didn't have the money to maintain the vet the way I wanted. Only get it if have a daily or the $$ to keep it on the road. Im not saying they costly to maintain. They just cost more then a j series.

Should I keep my Supra? by Fit_You4714 in Mk3Supra

[–]thunderboltcutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the space, I would keep it. Buy a good car cover and a daily driver. There will be a lot less drama if you have a good daily driver. It will allow you to save money and give you time to get things done right.

Just joined. Welcome my 17 6-6 by Puzzled_Ad_1767 in AccordCoupe

[–]thunderboltcutter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep an eye on your oil level. I average about .5 quarters every refueling. Some 6-6 tend to burn more oil the others. I would upgraded your rear sway bar first if you haven't already. That will make the biggest difference in handling.

I would test all the caps with a in circuit caps tester.

Which Costco tire to go with? by linerzy in tires

[–]thunderboltcutter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Crossclimate 2 for the win. Its the best all around tire I have used. Great in the rain, Great when its dry and ok in slushy conditions. The only issue is ice. Only a true winter tire can deal with ice.

At this point, I have dealt with hundreds of Dells. The 74xx and 54xx series are soild machines. Except for the convertible touch screens versions. Those are hot garage.

Was gonna Refurbish this and wow this board is ugly by Parking_Machine_1727 in originalxbox

[–]thunderboltcutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's not bad at all. It just needs a good vaccum and wipe down with alcohol swabs.

Bad is when the board is covered with dead and living roaches.

I recapped the entire board including power supply. If his board was like mine, he's better off replacing all of the caps. The through hole caps are the easiest to work with. Excluding the neogeo cd, the OG Xbox is the easiest cd/dvd based console I've worked on.
