i personally don't hate the DAB but i definitely prefer the OG ABP; my local dealership has an A-Spec in DAB and my first impression on seeing it in person was "that looks like a color i would expect on a full EV"
blue is my favorite color, and with the tiger eye no longer available, i would...
good choice with the orchid, it looks much better imo than the red or black. i really wanted a tiger eye pearl exterior when i got mine but i couldn't get find one that didn't come with the ebony, and i wanted the orchid interior more than i wanted the tep exterior. as for keeping it...
gotcha. i didn't mean literally my neighborhood, i was referring to the local area around where i live. i'm not gonna take it on the interstate yet though i drove it home with the code on the interstate and it was driving fine.
I had to take my car out earlier today to run some errands, and I noticed a few strange behaviors. First, there are times in between shifts where it sounds like the RPMs are going up. This doesn't happen too often and every time i get it, it's when I'm getting on the interstate, shifting from...
oh yeah i have one other question
i have all of the stuff i need now, just waiting for the weather to stop being so fucking annoying. but the instructions from PRL say to just ambiguously "fill the tank" after installing it. i know the mishimoto tank has an actual fill line on it, but the...
on another note, back to the tank/coolant- is it worth rinsing out the tank before i install it? should i swish a little bit of fluid through it just to make sure it doesn't have metal shards or debris in it from the machining/welding process? i don't mind wasting a little bit of fluid for...
man that sounds like a nightmare.
im not gonna sit on it though and let them keep repairing it; with my luck, i'll be the one on the side of the road with a blown up engine lol. plus while i swap it i'll get to feel like a master mechanic for 20 minutes :rofl:
i understand.. but i still ain't puttin shit on my car, for anybody or any reason. it's non-negotiable.
VIR is too far anyway honestly. i don't like to drive more than an hour or so in any direction. i'm trying to keep the mileage and wear on my car as low as i can while i have it.
the expansion tank was completely empty both with the car off and after driving it for 30 minutes to the dealership, apparently. i didn't personally check because i didn't think the 2 things were related; i figured some thermostat or sensor had gone bad.
the fluid seeped out through the seam...
it cracked along the same seam that everyone elses' does and had leaked out enough fluid for the heater to stop working.
they took pictures of it but i dont have them. it looked just like the other photos of all the other tanks that have failed at the same seam and had the coolant seep out all...
man im interested in that but its a pretty long drive for me. plus doesn't VIR make you put the stickers or whatever on your car? that's a no go for me.
i'm gonna have the contractor who's building the garage do it; my family has known him forever and he does good work. he said he'd do it if i went and bought the epoxy. i was just gonna go up to the local lowes and get a bucket of the generic medium grey. are there any brands i should...
funnily enough im actually in the process of having a garage built. it's like 75% done but they had to stop because of all the snow and cold weather bullshit. im thinking i'm gonna epoxy the floor so oil and shit won't soak into the concrete
yep im probably going to do the same whenever i get rid of this car. i almost got a m340ix instead of this car but i figured this car would be more fun to drive, but part of me still wishes i had just gotten the beamer anyway. on a more positive note, when i'm ready to move up, ill most likely...
sweet. i got my tank today but the coolant is not coming in until sunday. in the meantime i still need to get some pinch off pliers. the lowes and home depots around me dont really have shit for them so it looks like i'm gonna have to get them off amazon as well lol
you selling these because you're getting rid of the car?
also, did the lower engine mount make any noticeable difference? i just got my PRL expansion tank but i was considering getting the mount too.
On the back of my expansion tank failing and ordering the PRL one (comes in today woot) I just wanted to verify that this coolant listed on Amazon is indeed the correct OEM coolant that would have come with the car and be what the dealerships use. Honda Genuine Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant...
