Here's a better one. Black rims are hard to take pics of.

#354255 This is me nitpicking, but if you want to tie the wheels to the car even more, you should paint the bumper insets black, like they came from the factory (actually bare black plastic).

#354263 I couldn't agree more about the bumper. When I bought the car that was the only thing that wasn't original. Car fax didn't tell me anything. In a few months or so ima take her to the body shop and get some dents pulled and whole thing painted but for now I'm gonna have to go with it. Thanks for the comments dudes.

#354287 So took my whip for her first longish trip drive. Boy was I nervous. Santa Barbara and bank to sd. At night takes 3 1/2 hours to get there and coming back on the 405 and 5 on a Saturday any so cal resident knows doubles that time. She preformed flawlessly. Was so stoked installed this today. I know it's for looks but I swear my vtec cracks harder. Also installed a new solenoid gasket too.

Here's my next problem though!

Noticed my car lagging at full throttle. Like something was holding it back. If I didn't push the throttle all the way down it felt like normal acceleration. Only thing I could think of was tps. Sure enough at closed throttle the meter read at .57. The one that came with the car was broken and I replaced it when I cleaned the throttle body and other stuff on the im out, and thought I saw .47 instead of .57. Long story short I can't move the tps over anymore and it's stuck at .57. I got the sensor at autozone. My question is can I take a Dremel and extend the screw slots on the tps so I can move it over a little more to hit the right calibration or should I just get an oem tps. Thing is it's not throwing the tps cel. :? Any suggestions would be righteous.

#354753 Wow. So the knock sensor was a fun venture. Was popping #23. Went to replace the sensor and notice dude didn't wire the knock into the harness. Ran a shielded wire to the ecu. Replaced with a new sensor (old one was broken) and car is running great and no more codes. Trust me. My knuckles are scarred. I'm mentally exhausted. Holy shit was that hard. But no more codes!!!!!!!

Oh yea. My car was running rich when I tried to smog it so replaced the O2. Gonna try tomorrow. I'll let u guys know.

#354764 Thanks man. But I think she's gonna stay as is for a while. All my attention is going to be in moving this next month. But I'm glad how she's come along. A beast little car with decent gas mileage. Overall very happy.

#355104 I've been running really rich. Check sensors and for vacuum leaks. Nothing. Only. Thing I can think of at this point is my fuel pump is putting out way to much pressure. So Ima install this tomorrow. I'll show pics when done.
