Re: '95 Civic auto trans /d15z1 with p06-1 ecu. And it runs

But is there a P07 auto ECU?

Is this a stock US D15Z1, or the JDM/EDM equivalent?

Re: Del Sol stance advice.

Keep in mind that the less expensive lawn edging from Lowe's is about 5" wide, and will scrape pretty easily. So once you're all stanced and whatnot, you might need to make your front lip out of the...

Re: 225,000 miles too many for Head Gasket?

Also available in may colors, which enhances efficiency, right?

One downside is they're more permeable than rubber hoses, which means you may need to top off your antifreeze from time to time. ...

Re: 1992 1.5L sohc burns ALLOT of oil

Just curious, how much oil did you put in at the time of the oil change? I wasn't quite sure what you meant by "a tank and a half."

Re: 95 EJ1 has a D15Z1 not D16Z6 and it has issues

One will be open just enough to prevent pooling... but this looks like a bit more than that.

Re: Distributor Timing Maxed (solved)

Yup, gotta be dead cold.

Estacada, huh? You're in my neck of the woods. If you're ever in Clackamas, look for a peeling teal hatchback. You'll probably pass me.

re: New owner to a 92 Civic VX - please recommend links for vx knowledge

EcoModder is a really good site, and they have a lot of VX enthusiasts.

Also check out the forums at fuelly.com... it used to be very VX-focused, so there are a lot of good historical posts. It's...

Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today

Didn't really "do" anything, but had a new best tank on the VX.

10-tank average is just over 55. I credit the mpguino.

Re: 95 EJ1 has a D15Z1 not D16Z6 and it has issues

It is true that both UL and TUV offer safety and quality marks. However, when a mark is associated with a product (i.e., appears on the box) it is a safety cert unless specifically noted otherwise. ...

Re: 95 EJ1 has a D15Z1 not D16Z6 and it has issues

By and large, the TUV and UL (as well as CSA, CE, NOM, etc.) marks are *not* quality certification, but safety. An item bearing such a mark (tv, car part, toaster, anything) can be a total piece of...

Re: Remove the top timing belt cover without removing valve cover.

Just be very careful when tightening the valve cover bolts back on. Spec is only 7lbs, I believe. They can be trouble.

Re: 95 EJ1 has a D15Z1 not D16Z6 and it has issues

I would highly recommend having it done by a shop. Get one head job under your belt before taking on what is an "advanced" technique.

Personally, I'll always pay someone to check and mill my...
