QMeli907 Build Thread

The good (just another picture I had taken):





The bad (destruction from baby deer):

rear is easier because its only the 3 bolts on top. and it comes right out. the front. u got 3 bolts on top. 1 on bottom. and a biatch of a time to push the suspension down and try to wiggle out the strut.i can adjust my rears with only jacking it up just barely off the ground. the front i have to get it on jackstands and take the wheel off


btw. i love the bikerack. but having a bike on top ruins it. and sorry bout the deer. at least it wasnt a full grown one.

and also. i personally think it looks better with the car like 1/4th an inch higher on the back. gives it a better stance.

whaaaa you have a bike rack!.
i want one

whend u get ur bike rack anyway? i hadnt heard anything about it

but dont worry your not the only one keeping secrets. i got a much bigger one planned out.

I already know it.. so not much of a secret lol

It's not mine. I borrowed it lol

Not too into the whole bike rack style

good. take it off. i like them. but overplayed.... no sir, and no q. neither of u know whats coming. u know about the h22a4 i got my eyes on. and the prelude i wanna take off the grandpas hands. but u dont know whats goin down =d

if all goes well. after i get my timing belt done. next check i get my plan starts goin.

if i get that h22, im not gonna swap it in yet. i talked to my buddy and q. and if i get a swap. it will sit in my garage for the entire next winter having the internals built

Check engine light code was 45. Engine running too rich/too lean

ahahahaha. maybe a bad o2?

It's in the fuel supply. Not the air. Guess I should have mentioned that

um. are u running premium or something?

Gas went down, so I ran one tank of premium lol. But now its 87

see screwed ur car up lol. hows the power gain from prem?

FYI....Our cars lose power on premium ..

haha.

So I went back to Autozone, now knowing where my OBDII port is at

They pulled the code, looked it up...

It's in fact running too lean on fuel. The guy suggested a fuel system cleaner. Gonna try that next time I fill up

Also, the insurance adjuster came out today. I have a $500 deductible. He wrote up a quote for repair......$499.48. Like really?

Aim for another deer. lol

whats the actual code quintin?

yea i didnt know where my obd2 port was. and neither did like 3 people at autozone. then one of the honda guys came out. and he was like "fucking idiots" pulled out the ashtray. vwala.

my friend used a fuel system cleaner. fucked up his truck. now when he starts it he has to leave his foot on the gas for about 2 minutes til it warms up. clean injectors? new pump? idk

How did you black out the chrome trim around your windows? I've been wanting to do it on my 7th gen. I was going to use Trimbrite Blackout Tape, but can't find any locally, only online.
