Not my EG, but DC2.

Snapped an exhaust manifold stud putting the stock header (exhaust manifold) back on. Decided today was the day to tackle removing it.








I got lucky! Came out clean. No damage to the head whatsoever.

Picked up all the necessary parts to do a 5 lug/ rear disc brake swap on my ES2 a few weeks back. Did a compression test last night and was hitting 140 psi in each cylinder. Until it gets warmer here in Ohio, it will be awhile till I can do anything else.

Lol kingdom hearts theme as well? I liked the first one but nothing else after, maybe I grew out of it. But that doesn't stop me from digging out the ps2 and jamming that along with some Z.O.E. and shadow of the colossus.

Buffing headlights. 👍

Just make sure you line them up when you reinstall them. I hate driving down the road and being blinded by people with wonky headlights.

Replaced my valve cover gasket and alternator belt.

About to change the oil, transmission fluid, and coolant since I just got the car and I'm not sure the last time maintenance was done on it.

got the driver side quarter off. This side was for sure easier since I knew what to look for from the other side. Its coming a long nicely



I am going to completely coat the inside of these panels with some sort of rust inhibitive before I weld them on my other car. Either rubberized coating of some sort or maybe just a preventative rust primer because its lighter and thinner.

Youre gonna get told to make a post in the tech section, but ima just say check your grounds transmission should have a ground to the body and then check the thermostat ground, check your starter signal wire thats in the engine harness.

doesnt matter what swap you put in these cars, the check system is always the same, check grounds. make sure theyre presnet, clean and tight.

Just replaced the heater core in the flapper box I pulled from the 95 Civic EX Coupe I bought to strip.

New heater core is an aluminum unit, a bit thinner but I'm sure it will work fine and it will fix up my broken flapper box in my 95 CX Hatch.

The foam vent seals are so old and deteriorating. Trying to figure out what would be a good replacement that will last another 20 years or so.

It's actually REALLY easy to replace once you get the flapper box out of the car. Power steering can make that a touch more challenging than a non power steering car.

I'm thinking foam weatherstrip tape would probably work pretty well:

Doesn't look too bad. You might want to look into putting some kind of light diffuser around them though, so it's not so pointed.
