for the most part, this squad doesnt really have teenagers. i think at least 5 of us are over 20. im 25, couple other dudes are older than me which is basically an old man on HT.

i think its funny how youngins get into hondas, then "graduate" to nissans, then eventually ae86, rx7, and supras haha

I live at the base of the Rocky mountains so everyone and their dog thinks they are the next drift king. Stock 240's sell for pretty crazy money around here. I don't see myself driving anything else. I'll just keep going further south to buy my next shell.

I'm 28 and Been doing the Honda thing for 7 or 8 years. I had a b16 and it was all fine and dandy but for what they cost I'd rather build a d-series.

same here with the 240's. its amazing that an all stock, NA decent 240 will sell for like $2500-3000.

but then a TT 300zx will sell for just about the same price!

the 300 is more of a drift car than the 240 in every way from torque to wheel base.

Hey guys I have a ej2 and its been doing some things that are freakin scary lol. For one before its able to start the check engine light has to come off ( takes about 5-7 mins on a good day, whats up wit that ?) Also when its started it sounds like its on three cylinders at some points and im getting a bit of white smoke. I checked the coolant, and the oil they have not mixed, however im scared it may be the head gasket. Are these familiar symptoms to any of you? PLEASE HELP

Thanks in advance

have you pulled the code from the ecu yet? if so, what is the code? https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/how-pull-cel-d4-srs-abs-codes-code-lists-1901557/
white smoke is generally coolant being burned. if you have a repair manual, you can do a head gasket job with basic tools, and a torque wrench. if its sounding like its running on 3 cyl, check the spark plugs, are they firing right? spark plugs in good shape? coil in the dizzy good?

Im 29 and my first car was an 85 prelude, then a 2000 Focus hatch, 88 DX hatch, 89 DX hatch, 93 Probe GT, 93 Civic coupe, 2002 Protege5, 92 Integra, and now 90 sedan. I love Hondas, but I also loved the way my Focus handled and the torque my Probe GT had

Yeah I don't have a tool to check the code, however my thoughts exactly as far as the dizzy or spark plugs. If its a head gasket, I heard once that happens in a d series its pretty much over and its already blown a head gasket like a year ago. I guess ill have to get it towed to the shop but man if its just spark plugs or somethin simple i'd be hella thankful lol. Is it possible one of the spark plugs has excess oil on it thats why im seeing smoke?

I'm 23 and I've owned over 26 hondas, I've had built b series, built d series, boost, n/a. Having a Honda isn't just having a car it's a lifestyle and I don't see me changing lifestyles any time soon. Lol plus my daughter loves helping me work my cars so we just going to keep doing the thug thizzle!

Well my room mate remembered he had a sedan hood underneath the house and decided to give it to me since my hood has a dent and is rusting all up. Its in good shape but he had decided to spray paint it black. What grit do I need to use to sand the hood down so I can primer it?

well, generally if oil was burning in excess, the smoke would have a blue tint to it, not white. as for a tool to check codes, you dont need one. just a paper clip.

i sanded my project ef with 340 before i painted. i'd say that'd be fine enough.

speaking of kids and working on cars, my 3 year old daughter whenever im out in the garage she has to be right next to me doing something, she will go into a little bag of tools i keep for the kids and grab a 10mm wrench and just start turning bolts and such, my 6 year old puts his viper power wheels up on jackstands and pretends hes working on the engine.
