Noice. Dielectric on the boots?

 

Nice progress!

 

Dat Spoon


This thing is TINY!!

What is this, a shift **** for ants?!

 

hahah yeah! I had a spoon in my old hatch, thought about getting one for my FA5. How's it feel without the weight?

 

IMO it feels like **** on the K-series shifter. Def needs a weight one on there to take up that 'sloppy' feel.

But on a B-series doe. Shifts like a bolt action rifle with that.

 

lolol

You know I think I'm not used to just how damn small it is, not so much the weight.

I've used the Buddyclub Type A and B for the last 5-8 years so I've never been used to having a heavy ****. The Moddiction one (I think it's around 400g) I only use in winter months when I'm bored and want a change.

The 8th gen oem shifter box isn't bad, alot like the Fit which was good as well.

What IS sloppy is the damn clutch pedal, I think the entire assembly is plastic or something, it's hella creaky and pops (all 8th gens I've driven is like this). I gotta spray some lithium grease up there or something

 

I have one on the TSX. Feels great to me. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

 

A buddy of mine has a 9th Gen and he just recently converted his CMC to a Hybrid Racing one... consists of a 6th Gen/GEH CMC and braided line. Sed it smooth and way betta now.

 

That's what all the people say to use. Mine hasn't sucked bad enough to do it yet, but it's real close lol

 

I was having issues and just adjusted my clutch pedal. No more grinding into third at high RPM's. still squeaks doe. Gotta keep it lubed AF

 

Scott can you walk me through the adjustment process? Does it change the engagement point? I'd like mine to be a little higher than the damn floor board lol


I sprayed the **** out of the pedal assembly with lithium grease and it helps but still creaks a bit and clicks.

I actually found what the clicking is. Where the CMC fork meets the pedal assembly, there's a gap and its basically loose, gotta find something to fill the gap

Also found some cut wires under/by the steering column, looking at the gauge thickness of the wires, it looks like something aftermarket. What say you peeps?

 

 

Old *** alarm system?

 

Yeah that's just an alarm system. Definitely not DEI since they do not use a huge gauge brown wire like that. Could have had remote start at some point too.

Tell tale signs are holes for LED light, residue on the upper center portion of the windshield, wires tapped at the ignition... etc. Most installers don't even solder those bigger gauge wires so just trace them back, remove, and tape up.

 

gotcha

i was hoping it was related as to why nothing on my steering wheel (buttons/horn) works but I was trying to get away from a possible bad clockspring (which it most likely is)

but i just got the car aligned and i'd have to take off the steering wheel to change the clocksprings and i dont wanna lose my steering wheel straightness! ARGH!! lol

it's not like i ever had a horn or cruise in the GEH anyways amirite

 

Here is the DIY I followed. I had to go out and buy some short open ended wrenches because the normal sized ones wont fit. Yeah, It'll move the engagement point up higher. I have mine pretty much as high as it'll go and its about perfect. No more grinds into 2nd gear or 3rd gear at high RPMs. Takes a little getting used to but worth it.

sahweeeet

thanks! Thankfully I dont have any grinding issues (knock on wood)

The kid I got the car from said Honda replaced the tranny under warrantee, but he also told me it had a PLM header when it has a stock header lol. I can tell someone at one point took off the clutch slave though, so maybe he wasnt lying?

 

Who's lies about a PLM header lol? Aren't they one of the cheapest!? Using one on my k20 CRX because I'm cheap lol

 

He's an idiot and like 19 years old, that's why lol

Not my picture but ordered the below parts to change the serp belt and pulleys

 

Ooooh nice is it better than OEM?

 

sorry *** build thread cuz. ugly af should have kept them blue wheels, would have gone with your tight *** jeans bruh bruh

 

Shaddap lasty UGH

So i was messin round the whip today. Adjusted the clutch pedal, shout out to Scott for linking the diy

I took off the intake cause i wanted to know wtf was going on with it. I took off the rusty *** spectre filter and it fell apart whoops

I wasnt plannin on it but i had to get a filter so went to pepboys and got a k&n and they took my online advance coupon lulz

 

Way to turn that thing around and save it.

I would recommend picking up the Hybrid Racing shifter bushings and base bushings kit. After pairing that with some synchromesh and adjusting my clutch pedal, the car shifts like butter!
