Default Been lurking for a while, time to make an account

Been driving nothing but Honda's since I was 16, and just recently bought my first with a VTEC: a 1994 Honda Accord EX. It had some issues to start with (mainly surging / seeking idle & CV axle), but slowly getting things fixed / replaced before I really start delving into modifications. Motor was replaced before I bought it, and supposedly has around 50k miles. Fuel rail and injectors were replaced (with junk yard parts) just before I bought it as well.

I deliver newspapers at night right now (in addition to my other full time job), driving roughly 90 miles per night up winding mountain roads. With Sunday papers, I'm adding about 7-800 lbs to the weight of my car until I hit my delivery area, so weight reduction is going to take a high priority once the idle issues are sorted.

Performed so far:
  • Oil change
  • Oil Filter
  • Transmission fluid change
  • Driver's side CV Axle
  • FITV adjustment
  • IACV cleaning
  • Throttle body cleaning
  • Timing Belt and seals
  • Radiator hoses (Upper and Lower)
  • Distributor Cap and Button
  • Spark plugs
  • Spark plug wires
  • Coolant flush
  • Valve Cover gasket
  • Distributor O-ring (cause of oil leak)

On the list for this week:
  • EGR port cleaning
  • Valve adjustment
  • Replacing burnt out instrument cluster lights
  • fuel filter
  • CD player installation
  • A/C removal (already switched out the belt to the DX model without A/C)
  • Timing check / adjustment
  • Check for any Vacuum leaks
  • AEM CAI (dual chamber) installation

Hoping to be able to learn as much as possible from the community here, and to contribute as I gain more knowledge as well.

Will post up pics as soon as I can get more batteries for my camera.
