Lol dam what a project car this turned into lol

 

(SHAKING MY HEAD AND LAUGHS OUT LOUD IN TOTAL DISBELIEF AND DISGUST!) I don't friggin' believe this. I really, really don't. So I put in the TPS and try to start the car and now she won't start. I checked all the connections and made sure everything was hooked up in the right places and still nothing. Called my mechanic friend who is the expert on timing and he says it seems the timing is off so we need to take down everything with the cam and what not. Trying to loose the crank this morning, we had put the ratchet on the cam gear nut to hold the it in place so the crank wouldn't spin. When we put the wrench on the crank and hit it so that we could shock the nut holding in the crank, it came loose but the bolt head on the cam gear broke of too. So we had to end up taking off the cam shaft so we can take it to the machine shop tomorrow to get the bolt out. This car is really putting me to the test. I started off with this honda as a complete newbie to hondas but now I have literally gone to and through every extent of this engine. At this point I'm not even frustrated anymore because it was my mistake for being so hasty and trading my other car and it's a learning experience for me at the same time. But anyways I'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm going to chill and spend some QT with my family.

 

i don't really like these newer cars, i have a 97 lx all of them r such big peices of sh*Ts. my transmission is burning up and slipping As i drive it, and this sucks as*. my a/c works perfect, 40 degrees. ,new tires. LUCKLY I WAS BLESSED WITH IT BEING FREE~ GOD IS GOOD! I GOT IT FROM THE CHURCH i go to.

 

wha?

Why would this be posted in this thread.

 

..I don't know either nike. Hm.. Well I'm sorry for all of your troubles islandtuner, once she is all done youll start her right up and be so proud of your accomplishment and all the time you spent hassling with it. I hope everything goes well.

 

Yeah Brajj I wish. I'm thinking I may just sell the car. My old man was sayin that car might be jinxed. He said I should just put a for sale sign on it and get rid of it.

 

It very well may be. It may be kind of cool having a completely torn apart and rebuilt "cursed" ride. Youll be somewhat like ghostrider haha . Idk. If I was you i would keep it and make it a beast.

 

Well I will have it licensed and insured and I'll slap a for sale sticker on it while I drive around town. If it gets sold.....it gets sold....if not I'll just keep it and invest in a used/new D16 engine and go to town on upgrading....I already have a turbo setup so half the battle is done. I can purchase a used engine at a junkyard here in the Bahamas for about $600 so that's a good buy. I have it posted on facebook and people have already asked about it so...I'll see what happens

 

IslandTuner, My d16 gave me hell. But i love having a sohc that runs the duals. I got a b16 out a 2000 si you can have. Also got a GSR but no transmission for 1200, miles are under 100k.

 

i read the auto trans fail before the engines go. i guesss you got a standard trans so thats better then. mabey thats y i am not as lucky. i don't know how reliable these cars really are i haven't had it enough!
