Had to take a quick trip to AZ and saw this sweet Ferrari Del Sol on the way to the PHX airport.

The doors looked like they had plexiglass over the recessed black panel.

I just called SOC, and they don't have any idea what I am talking about, they have told me to go see the dealer, so it looks like I am SOL on getting mine replaced.

So call SOA and see what they say...

My passenger valve cover gasket has been leaking since day one. Finally got around to replace it, decided to to the compression test while I was at it. Still haven't figured out which cylinder is which: 135, 140, 133, 135...

Thanks for the pics of the valve cover gasket replacement. Doesn't look as daunting as I thought.

Taking a look around I think you do have the ELH, so no rumble for you. Worst case you create the leak and don't like the sound.

Don't bother with an intake, save your money or get a drop in dry filter.

Gonna go pick some up and try that tomorrow, pretty dark here to try and start over, thanks

I see you have a 2.5i. Doesn't that have ELH?

Wanna try this even bought all materials but its a pain to get htose bolts off, have some WD-40 sitting on em for now. Axle-back kind of rusted from being in the north for so long. But hopefully it works.

PB Blaster or Kroil, skip the WD.

...

For reference a stage 2 sti puts down about 260-270hp and a stage 2 4th gen legacy gt puts down about 240ish.

Very impressive for sure!

 

260HP and 325TQ

Nice thread. Definitely interesting about the STI vs the 4th gen not being that far apart at Stg 2.

My '05 is beginning to slip a bit. Someone recommended a TCM reset as it worked for him. How can that be done? Is it a dealer only thing?

What are the symptoms of your 5EAT slipping? Just curious.

is it JDM?

It's a Civic so MDM for a part like this.

Starting to smell like my van in here.

Bareback will get you a mountain of sore ass.

Stickers are more cost effective way to add horsepower.

*Covers car completely in Smash Mouth stickers.

How many HP for that? Would Nickleback get me more?

Fapmaya, I found something you can add to your car.

 

 

 

I need this! How much HP does this add?! Do I need a spoiler with this? Head light fluid? Anything else?

I wouldn't expect them to fix this, as technically its another part of the system that the recall doesn't really cover. I'd expect they would quote a price to replace the entire assembly based on what I've seen others post here. But if they do decide to do something, please let us know!

I figure that is what will happen, worth an ask.

Keep in mind that if you do get a new one from the dealer, it has the same latent fault as the old one, so just solder the old one. Even someone as lazy as me found this to be quick, easy repair. You will spend more time removing and replacing screws than soldering and screw removal / replacement totals about seven minutes if you are slow.

Good point. I will get around to it.

100% fruit juice really is all fruit juice, but that doesn't mean they don't monkey with it to increase the sugar content make it sweeter/more palatable/less healthy. They sweeten it with fruit juice concentrate. In other words, they start with regular juice, then remove some water and refine the sugar in the remainder and then take that super sweet juice concentrate and mix again with fresh juice to the desired ratios. Hence, still legit claim that it's 100% juice, but it's not quite what you think and it's not quite as healthy as the claim would lead you to believe. Fruit juice is already high in natural sugar and they raise the sugar content artificially. They just happen to use a sweetened form of the juice in order to make the 100% juice claim.

Let's just take this off topic. You are correct in this. Even the not from concentrate juices, let's say orange since it's the most prevalent example, is pasteurized which takes away all the orange flavor. So they add natural orange flavoring to get the juice that perfect flavor for their brand.

As you say the 100% juice can and is still made with concentrates. It's when they take a concentrated juice, add water and other sugars, then they can't claim it's 100% juice, but it is still labeled as juice. Versus a drink, which is mainly water and sugar, like Sunny D. Fruit Drink. Both not healthy. Just juice your own and don't go overboard unless you like sugar spikes.
