i thought the thing with the tilt was that it would tilt down, go to far down, and then get stuck outside its range of motion and be unable to tilt back up. something along those lines. either way, if it isn't going to work, i wouldn't bother with that autotilt kit. the whole folding mirror...
sweet thanks for the input. im sorta interested in the folding mirrors but after looking at all the install instructions it's way more work than i want to do. that and it looks like you lose your color matched mirror base unless it's possible to switch them. plus i absolutely hate taking...
i just saw this comment lol ew ew ew ew please tell me that isn't the case. i didn't think that was the case based on the price but if that's the case then i dont see the point
this is a great video, thanks for posting it. he mentions though that the mugen mirror caps aren't carbon fiber, and the group B ones for the FL5 definitely are -> https://jhpusa.com/products/mugen-carbon-fiber-door-mirror-cover-set-22-civic-civic-type-r-fl1-fl5
either way, i take it that any...
word i'll make sure i pop the mirror off before trying to mess with the cap, got it. i mainly just wanted to make sure the mirrors would work with those group B mirror caps. i suppose the caps dont change the shape of the mirror housing and is a dumb question, i just wanted to make sure before...
Hey everyone,
I've been putting together a list of some cosmetic parts to work towards, and i wanted to make sure everything will work.
I actually got the OEM carbon fiber mirror cap upgrades, but i kinda wanna switch them out for the Mugen ones ->...
yeah it was kind of a pain in the ass but my garage is nearing completion so i needed to get it done. that vid you sent me was a lifesaver, as was that ifixit kit you showed.
finally stopped putting this off and made my frankenmirror. i used a butt splice connector to connect the red/yellow wires since i'm too retarded to solder. man honestly the hardest part for me was getting the stupid clamshell apart and off. as for the ball/stem i put the spring on the...
i think somebody on these forums had their ECU get lost in the mail.
i'm not personally interested in tuning because it seems like a huge hassle, but if i was going to, i would buy a backup ECU and use that for the tune while keeping the original one as a backup in case i need to take my car in...
i forgot we didnt have gas caps for a second lol. when my car threw all the emissions systems warnings i cleared the warnings by jiggling the inner gas flap with my finger lol. i still had to clear the codes with a code reader though
it said there was one left in stock so i went ahead and ordered it. im not gonna bother with the harness and removing the a-pillar as i was just gonna cut the yellow and red wires and put them in a butt splice connector then wrap the bundle back up.
im a bit nervous about taking the mirror...
did u get the string of warning messages on startup about rev matching, cruise control etc etc being disabled or whatever? it's like a whole slew of various systems that get affected by it. i'm pretty sure all of us with these cars have gotten it at some time, typically pretty early in the...
ive had this happen a couple of times, ive always cleared the codes with my own reader and they come back. once was for the emissions thing, and the second time was for the idle control valve or something.
keep in mind that while you're driving the pops and bangs will occasionally stop for a...
i ordered mine a few weeks ago through unity and he apparently just orders them from PRL or whoever. mine was also on backorder when i ordered and he didn't know at the time since PRL doesn't tell him apparently.
im bout to pull the trigger on this as well; this is the right mirror -> https://honda.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/honda-auto-d-n-mirror-w-homelink-ex-l-tour-8v033a0100
