snow05gtRI Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 While I do love the CH-Rs (debating about them for the BMW) the wheels are gunmetal Raijins. Wait... do you have BBS center caps? I looked quickly and it kinda looked like it. Here's some real CH-Rs on my wagon for my mistake : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlight Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 My HVAC controls went out again. I'm getting 12.8v but 18ohms of resistance when it should be below 10ohms. Does anyone know the ground points that supply the HVAC controls? muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubOperator Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 As much as I try to stay away from German cars, FW group makes some sexiest wagons. There are less expensive European sub brands that would totally rock here.

DoctorDaveLGT Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I love the style of CH-Rs, I have a set on my Honda Odyssey that I got off someone's BMW several years ago. I have one of the trims from '07 that had some crazy metric runflat system that they stopped supporting, so I had to find something else. That's awesome! You have any pic's of it? Wait... do you have BBS center caps? I looked quickly and it kinda looked like it. Here's some real CH-Rs on my wagon for my mistake : No, I put STI decals over the Enkei center caps. I'm not a huge fan of the asymmetry in their flat center cap design. That's a great looking estate you got with the color matched box. Makes me want to get my Vector M box color matched to but then I think the white would look off whenever it's on the black Acura wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino6303 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I finished swapping a new flywheel. I tried the way where you don't remove any axles and just slide it all back. I don't recommend it. It was way easier to just remove it all/drop the transmission for the swap than this. Also, I was right that the 2015+ flywheel is wrong, lol. A couple of millimeters makes a difference.

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Couldn't bare looking at the car with 1.5 years of shop dirt on it so I gave it a decent wash. Sat on the porch for about 30 minutes afterwards just staring at it. I've really missed this car. Happy Wagon Wednesday all!

DoctorDaveLGT Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Well, got 200 miles on break-in but cutting it short and taking it back to the shop. CEL came on about 50ish miles ago and I assumed it was related to the TGV deletes. Pulled the code today to be sure and it turns outs its P0021. Going to start with changing the oil and checking the OCV's since they were re-used and then to make sure it didn't jump timing. Really hoping this is an easy fix and doesn't turn into a pre-mature death of JMP's 18g. I take some comfort in knowing I got into boost (very low) maybe 3 times at most since the CEL has been on. It did actually go away on it's one yesterday when I went to leave work but came back on when I got into boost about 10 minutes from my house.

ohno06gt Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Did an oil change yesterday. Anytime the car is on jack stands my neighbor (wrx owner) comes over to check things out. He looked at the Rotella t6 and mazda oil filter in disbelief. Told me I was going to blow the motor and he would be surprised if it lasted 1k miles with that oil/filter. Told him I'd been running that combination for a year now with no issues and used oil analysis have came back perfect. Says he runs mobil 1 and gets whatever the cheapest filter is from oreillys. Oil looked great though, I always run it through a fine mesh screen while draining and there wasn't a speck of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) ^ Wrx owner doesn't sound to sharp! Mobil1, hahaha I've been running T6 and the Mazda Tokyo Roki filter for 10+ years without issue. Edited July 7, 2022 by JJr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced mine with a couple of new OEMs a few years ago because I wasn't gonna play with it in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I'm kicking myself a little right now. Should have just ordered new OEM ones when the motor was going back together. Another speed bump in getting this project finished.
