Finished my mini me.. couple snags..
Well I finally got around to installing the mini me. I have to say I really learned alot by doing it myself- (thanks Anthony for doing it with me, Steve for being my Tech line, and Bret for giving me the hook up!)
I see a <U>DEF</U> improvement in acceleration, expecially at vtec(0bvi0usly
).
A few small problems-
1- have a coolant leak- I havn't been able to find it yet, I just drove home from RI last night and to work today.
2- halfway hope the check engine light came on- I think its the exhaust O2 sensor.
3- ok- here's the big one that I'll need some help with- at IDLE, the engine is making some funny sounds. almost like a popping sound. while driving or accelerating, it runs very very smooth. could this be some moisture in the engine or something?
I'm intalling Ben's old Kamakazi header and a B&M fpr on Weds, so I'm going to try to check everything and get it all straight by this weekend.

Yeah, thats kinda what i figured.. however, I've driven probably atleast that.. I probably shouldve waited a bit longer for vtec, but I was dying to see if it worked.. only hit it twice, and only for a moment..
