Nice

 

That's awesome!! look forward to results!

 

Think the kinks will be worked out by the July EF meet in Morgantown? You know you HAVE to bring it down

BTW how did raising the car effect the vibrating?

 

Sounds like He just jacked it up to see if the driveshaft was shaking excessively. Could dizzy timing being off cause it? It was doing all the vibrating after being street tuned?

Might be bad axles. Ive had autozone axles do that to me before. Their axles are really hit or miss and unfortunately, usually MISS.

Has the car been sitting on pavement in one spot for a long time? (flat spots on tires)

 

Drove her to work today. All vibration free!!!! Lifting it up a hair took care of all of it. Must have been axle binding. Should be going on the dyno in a couple hours after work!!!

 

VIDS PLEASE!

What ever happened to the Epic tuning AWD black hatch btw? I just remember his rear end being insanely low tot he ground, seen video of it launching, looked sick

Looks like they have a new one

 

Well, today I replaced my CRX Main relay. Here is a picture of my old one.
As you can see there are many solder joints that are cracked or starting to crack.

I am gonna resolder the joints on the old relay and keep as a backup.





Symptoms of a faulty main relay:

Problems starting the car, usually after a short run (when the interior is warm), though in some cases, the car may fail to start at any time. A classic time for the problem to occur is at the gas station, or if you park for a minute to get something from a shop. If the car is parked for a long period, the interior usually has cooled enough for the joint to make contact again, and you won't notice a problem. As the cabin temperature is a major feature of this problem, it might appear worse on cold or rainy days when you have the heater running to clear the windows etc. Extremely cold temperatures can also cause the problem to be more apparent.

FYI, The Main Relay controls five circuits:
Battery
Ignition
Pump
Injectors
Starter

Reason why car won't start:

The main relay wouldn't fire up the fuel pump due to the soldering cracks on the Relay PCB.
Cracks would appear over time and can be re-soldered, or you can buy a new one from the dealer.

 

Nice Rob. That should be a little sticky... I may have to turn it into a picture if you dont mind!


So I need to go visit my buddy in San Diego and thinking I can double up and take a drive to LBC for the weekend of Wekfest LA... anyone in that area or even that coast planning on going??
I know its like 2 months out, but I need to book a flight and probably a hotel for that night... Anyone going or have gone in the past and can maybe give me a heads up on the event/area/hotel.. that would be sweet.

 

Id stay in sd as long beach is pretty ghetto

Just head out early the day of the show

 

I do that to every main relay I have. I've fixed 4 so far. Screw paying $50 for one from Honda when I can get it from a junk yard for $5 and repair it for free.

 

it is an ebay hatch exhaust so it was way too short and i had to extend it, which meant getting to put it were i wanted it, and to who ever said something about a sticker on a fart can.... its just a tip, there is no muffler on the car, just 2.5 from the header back, and its loud as mother $#@!

 

 

bad day at the track. more people were hitting the tires and rails than when it was snowing and freezing rain. rained most of the day

but behind me on the Patriot was the Aerial Atom Experience...was like 6 of them

 

^^Im dying to do that.. lets make it a group trip! Atoms and EFs!

Boosted, I like it.. l double din block off looks cool too.

I went up to the dealership I used to work at to hang out with a buddy and we put my rims and tires together today. Had my camera in my car and was waiting to use the tire machine so I snapped some pics.

I was really stoked to get the totes with the tires! haha.

 

looks good

 

When is that anyway? I'll be there!! Unless it falls on my friends wedding date...

 

That black hatch is still around. It's at sc performance shop in columbia south carolina

 

i got a ef, planning to do a cable to hydro tranny, i know i need to get a cable to hydro acutuator. as for the mounts i am currently running the innovative b series cable mount kit. i see the innovative selling the cable to hydro tranny mount by it self. would i need to change that only or would i need to get the whole innovative cable to hydro motor mount. do i keep the 90-93 integra da rear t bracket or do i need to change it to do the 94-01 rear t bracket. can anyone help?

 

When is the friends wedding date? hehe

Sunday- Had a great time thrashing my buddies hatch around at a local auto X, makes me want a hatch/crx I can beat on without feeling bad. I only got to do 2 runs but shaved 10 secs off on the 2nd run.

Sauce whats the specs on your wheel/tires? I like them in bronze!

 

welded a flowmaster super 44 on the car on the count of my girl thought it was too loud to have the baby in because she could hear the car start up at work and get louder and louder all the way home( only two and half blocks but still), its sounds pretty damn good now though with the 2.5" and the tri y if anyone is planning on going that route, its still pretty loud but at least it wont be getting me tickets..... nothing else new


thinking about rusting my seats, carpet, and steering wheel, then welding old cadillac wings on the sides of it and turning the trunk into a truck bed to haul around a rusty mini fridge full of yoohoo ....... just a thought

 

Yooohooo is were its at

 

With hasport I used the 90-93 bracket and drill the holes on the lower part larger to accommodate the larger bolts (i forget what size but IIRC its 9/16).

 

Hey Blu, or anyone else with experience for that matter:

Can the TunerviewII display wideband O2 readouts? I'm trying to avoid buying a PLX or equivalent and just having the TVII to display all the other pertinent info along with the O2 readings.

 

you need to buy the PLX and have it hooked into the tunerview, which is what i'm planning on doing eventually. you don't need the gauge. not sure what afr's it reads w/o a wideband
