    Default what do you hate most about your ef?

    figured i make a random rant thread cause my farken seat belt alarm is driving me crazy ben and i were just talking about this how we both have to cut the car off just to get it to shut off.

    2nd thing my windsheild wiper arm assembly thing until i shoved some paper in there the wipers would just turn on everytime i hit a bump -seems to be a common problem with our cars ive talked with a few other guys who have the same thing all used the paper shoving solution.

    3rd was my corner light but my boy cato hooked me up so im all good now just need a new sig pic to show it off
    now with LSD

    Here is my list:

    1) my car has the weirdest problems

    a) speedometer in the S2k cluster does not work for an unknown reason
    b) which causes Vtec to not engage because the ecu is not getting the proper
    signal from the driver.
    c) my spark plug wires re-arrange themselves while I'm sleeping.

    2) i don't have enough time to fix the small things wrong with it.

    The B18C would be for a daily driver, believe it or not.
    I wouldn't care about racing it, just some little fun up in the moutains while being reliable.

    If I was going to actually try and race the hatch, I'd swap in a K or better.
    But thats not the case...I'll make my next car into a weekend warrior. Maybe a S2K.

    B18C came out of 2 cars:
    94-97 GSR (180hp, 126tq)
    96-00 ITR (200hp, 134tq)

    I was looking at picking up the latter one. (both are JDM if I'm not mistaken)

    Honda only used 4-digit engine codes in the homeland, so it could be either. if it had a red valve cover it's a type R, if it's a black valve cover with the two-stage GSR intake manifold, it was from an Integra SiR-G (JDM equivalent to a GSR).

    after having my EF for over a year, i've come to the conclusion that there is only 1 thing that will get rid of the squeeks....


    and that is a sound system

    I love that my EF(with 210k miles on it) does NOT make any weird noises. (I pride myself on that)

    Only time it made a squeak was when I had the strut bars on. I installed them, drove about 10 minutes, heard the squeak, ****ing turned around and removed them as fast as I could.

    My hatch is already slow, I will not allow it to make weird noises.

    cut the wires going to your seatbelt buckle or whatever, and splice them together.

    ....that's the ghetto rig way of doing it.

    For the seatbelt buzzer, pull the door panel off, right above the seatbelt assembly there is a two pin connector. Unplug it Have fun

    1. The @#$@#$@#$ climate control made of ABS plastic that loves to break when my neighbor farts in the shower upstairs.. and the @#$@#$ thing costs like.. $280.. JEEZ

    2. The mexican wiring job I had to undo when I bought the car(this is already fixed.. but jeez)

    3. The 17 year old window regulators... sigh....
