Cool, valve cover gasket.Thanks!–ctag

Oh man, getting that window fixed has had me fall in love with my car again! On to the oil leak. I’m convinced that it is the gasket under the valve cover (head gasket?) leaking, of course I wouldn’t mind going ahead and servicing the dizzy as well. I’m going to probably open a separate […]

Hm, we’ll get to the oil leak in a bit. Thanks for the heads up! The old window regulator: The worn gears: The new regulator:if (“Handle with care” == “shake well before using”){ } It’s a Dorman: Not happy at all. It’s so flimsy it was even easy to fix. Side by side comparison: Installation: […]

Thanks jameswanser! I’m looking to repaint my exhaust shield as well, after I try to recover it from rust/corrosion Facing the engine with the hood open, the oil leak is on the left side, dribbling down onto the transmission. It looks like it leaks more every time I drive the car, but the oil dipstick […]

Thanks, I may be in college, but I’d be hard pressed to find three other people willing to ride in my car. I’m going to keep the single side of the seat (passenger side), and remove the double side (the padding is cut into two partitions) that includes the seat behind the driver and the […]

Okay, The Acetylene torch isn’t getting fixed for a while, so I’m just going to go buy new parts for the window. It’s tempting to go with the $30 version that doesn’t include a motor, but if the motor’s managed to grind down the gears on the sled, I bet the matching set of teeth […]

Speedo and tachometer. I’ve replaced the entire instrument cluster, and the problem is still there. It looks like there’s a fried capacitor on the existing computer, so signals to the cluster get screwed up. Regardless, I’m planning on building the car computer simply because I want to. I’m a computer engineering student, and this stuff […]

At the expense of sounding pretty dumb, I’ve never been to a Honda dealership, and would kinda rather keep it that way. Point taken though, I’ll find out where my closest dealer is and go ask if they have mtf.–ctag

Aaaaaand it’s summer. Recap since spring break:– Driver side window is still broken. More on that in a sec.– Maintenance: I’ve cleaned, sanded, and sealed the headlights again.– I’ve started working at my new job, just got (and spent) my second paycheck.– I want to do engine/tran upkeep this summer, but don’t know how and […]

Alright, Spring Break update! The biggest change since my last post is finances. I’ve secured a job doing research for my campus! Unfortunately, my dad also lost his job the same month due to whatever-the-hells-going-on-with-the-government. So my first priority is saving up enough to pay for my next semester of college, then save up a […]
