    Where Does This Switch Go? Dashboard Harness

    As you can see it is a brown connector that I assume would go into the fuse box somewhere. It is also connected to the ground closest to the driver's door harness. One wire also goes from this connector to the mirror switch, and one wire goes from this connector to the green connector which...

    Hey all, I am currently in the process of converting from manual to power doors (mirrors, windows, locks, etc.). I am using a donor harness and taking strictly only what I need. I have completed the passenger door, but now I am stuck on the driver side door. I have isolated all of the switches...

    Has Anybody Ever Seen This? Tan Leather Door Panels.

    So, as the title says... I just scored these a few months back for 20 Euro's total. Since a year or two ago I installed a complete tan leather interior into my Coupe and stumbled upon these door panels randomly one night. The seller really didn't seem to realize that leather door panels can go...

    ABS Bleeder Screw

    I realize this is an old post, however, today I stumbled upon this in the manuals and answered my own question. There is a bleeder screw for the ABS and it is located on the kink of the high pressure hose!

    ABS Bleeder Screw

    Hey all! Quick question regarding the ABS system. Recently I put a Del Sol back together with ABS as this came standard with the car. The car has been completely dismantled for over a year in my garage and I only recently put it back together. Now my question is about the possibility about...

    CV Axle Sizes; Del Sol "S"?

    As mentioned I´ll be replacing it with a D15B7 engine, but the part numbers match so I´ll be good. Thanks for that!

    CV Axle Sizes; Del Sol "S"?

    Yes, I understand that, but my old Civic D series CV axles are going into the Del Sol and I'm wondering what sizes were originally in the Del Sol?

    CV Axle Sizes; Del Sol "S"?

    Hey all, First off I understand this is 'Club Civic' and my question is about a Del Sol; however, since they are both from the EG chassis I'm sure it's allowed here. Basically I want to know the sizes of the CV axles needed for my Del Sol. It has a 1.5 D15B7 (non-VTEC) engine. I believe in...

    New Head Gasket Leak After Install

    The starting issue came down to the timing in the distributor, that was taken care of. The head gasket was from Ashuki, cost me a good 40 Euro's.

    New Head Gasket Leak After Install

    Hey all, thank you for your very swift replies! Just to inform you all better, the previous head gasket was leaking and a lot of oil was being consumed. I did change the head gasket for a new one, had the cylinder head resurfaced and all of this was done within the tolerances. I also understand...

    New Head Gasket Leak After Install

    Hey all, I recently swapped my engine for a B16 and in the process replaced the leaky head gasket with a new one. Had a few problems with starting the car, but that's all over now and I'm able to drive it around; perfect, well, almost. I noticed that my exhaust gases were slightly whiter than...

    B16 Swap Crank No Start Diagnosis Help

    Ok, so I did the diagnosis and it turns out that the timing was a little off. Put the timing belt back properly and now I have better compression but it still won't start. Any further advice? My engine is getting everything it needs so I really don't understand why it isn't starting?

    B16 Swap Crank No Start Diagnosis Help

    And by jumping how would I do that exactly? I assume you mean the green connector? The engine does receive fuel and the spark is a very bright white/blue. Mechanical timing is correct. I have not done a compression test yet, will try that tomorrow. Do you happen to know what the compression...

It does crank and everything seems to be fine, but the motor isn't firing up and I've checked everything I could think of but am a little stuck. I'll note everything I can about...

    B16 Swap Steering Lock Problem

    Yes, they did go in all the way. However, I fixed the problem. Turned out that really moving the steering wheel from left to right many times while simultaneously turning the key got it unstuck in the end. Now I have another problem, but will post this in a new thread. Thanks for your replies...
