    HELP, headlight problem

    Check your grounds. The parking brake is a negative signal, so if you have a bad ground your gauges will go dim, but when they can pull ground through you parking brake they'll brighten up. Think back and see if you did any work on your car and pulled a ground off and forgot to put it back on...

    wiring question

    The motor will work, but you will have a check engine light and no vtec. Go to these web site and search around a little, and you'll find the ecu pinouts the wire color. http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/tech/4gtech.html#vtec

    WHat could be the Problem?

    Muffler? I know that this will sound weird, but you might want to check you muffler. I had a similar problem and the baffling in the muffler had fallen down and was blocking the pipe choking the engine. After it had time to cool the baffling would shrink and the car would start and drive...

    wtf is wrong with my car???

    What you need to do is go to radio shack or sears and buy a cheap multimeter. The do a continuity test hook one lead to ground and then probe the light wires for ground (including the one behind your radio). If you have a light socket that has two grounds in it then you have a short in one of...

    Turbo problems

    He's got a missing link on there so it shouldn't be seeing boost unless it's bad. the one that is suppose to be on my car, but since i don't have my turbo on yet I let him borrow it. I think that he's saying that if the Ecu see more than 2psi it goes in to safe mode, not that he's only making...

    Turbo problems

    Well he is planning on running more boost (7-8) once he gets everything together He running 4 right now to be safe untill he can get it to a dyno and have them tune it for higher boost. Sorry I guess that I didn't make that clear in the post. I could have helped avoid the argument

    Turbo problems

    No offens taken, it's not my car, nor did I do the install. So it doesn't reflect on me I'm just trying to keep him from having to buy a new motor and trying to get it running right for him. If I can fix his it should help me when I go to do mine, I think. So the FMU's aren't reliable...

    Turbo problems

    Alright, I've got a friend with 93 Civic with a 99 B16, and a Greddy turbor kit. His cuz put on the turbo a couple of weeks ago and now his car won't rev past 5,000. It sounds like its leaning out, but I'm not sure, it sputters right around there and won't go past. (he's got a 255lph pump, 450...

    Rest In Peace...

    Man that blows, I would check with your insurance and see if the will cover some of it (if you have more than liability). Since it is parked in the lot of the garage's insurance should cover it because it is in their lot and is their responsisblity. But I don't think that you want to take...

    Hatch rear seats

    The rear seats are usually held in by a couple of 10mm bolts two on each side to attach it to the hinge. The bottom is held on by one bolt in the middle, once you pull that lift up the back and the front comes unclipped. There should be no reason to pull the rear seat in that vehicle.

    metal scraping sound

    I had a similar problem, it was the brake pads, it would not make the sound when I put on the brakes, but when I was accelerating it would make the it.

    vtec problem

    Also did you use a Honda oil filter, they are smaller so they help with the oil pressure needed to get the vtec to kick in. That in combination with low oil will cause that problem (like Mysils was saying)

    pics of my interior so far

    I like the looks of it. I did pretty much the same but in blue (go figure). When you do the headliner do it with contact cement and vinyl, the spray glue doesn't stick in the heat.

    Will it blow?

    Thanks everyone for your input. I'm going to go ahead with the turbo and run about 7 psi. I've got everything that I need, Now I just need some time off to put it on and tune it. Beelze, he was making reference to any B series motor. He told me that he had many friends that blew their...

    alarm with power locks!!

    Civics are okay for actuators if you know what your doing and have done them before, otherwise they suck, i've done many where I work and we charge $50 a door in labor plus the price of the actuator and wire.
