passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

How do I place a pic in my posts?

Okay... Let me walk you through it...

You find the image that you want, and right-click on it (in a separate window from your AF one). Go to properties. Highlight the area after Address: (URL) and copy what the address is (Should be a http://www.blahblahblah.com/blah.jpg ). Then go to your message window and click on the insert image button http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/wysiwyg/vB_InsertImage.gif and in the box that pops up, insert the address that you copied and press enter. That should place the address inbetween the .. in the message box. Then you post the message and VIOLA! The image is now in your text. :D Hope this helps.

or if you have a pic on your harddrive that you want to show, click the gallery button at the top of the page, and upload your pic, and then do what figori said :) i'm a little drunk now, so you'll have to excuse my lack of explination

Hey, lxndr, how much for the center console, all the way up to the radio surround, the lower part of the passenger side dash (w/ radio surround), clock, under-dash wiring harness, and breather tube (part between intake and filter box). Prices with shipping to 39702. :D Thanks.

Tried that.
When the image posted, all I could see was the URL.
I'm such a computer dolt!
I'll try it again.

Dash parts, wiring, tube and shipping will probably be around $50, but this is just a guess. I won't be able to get out to the junk yard until this weekend, so hopefully the parts will still be there. Did you ever find a passenger side skirt? The one on the red CRX is cracked at the top by the wheel well, but If you're desperate, you could do some careful cutting and glue the crack free part to yours.

There... That is the image you posted the link to.

Try it again. You can use the shortcut of the [?IMG]http://www.walgreens.com/dbimagecache/6612.gif[/IMG?] and see if it works like that. (Take the ?'s out.. I had to put those in for the IMG and the address to show up instead of the picture. :D ) That is what it should look like, though...

If you can get the driver's side skirt for not much, I guess we could try 'glassing it together... Just get me a for-sure price and we'll talk. :D

back to the header/exhaust noise saga. like i said before, i hit about 2800-3000 rpm and i got a really loud farty kind of noise and it was really annoying. today i got a glass packed cherry bomb muffler (Canadian Tire Special :) ) and put that in place of the straight section of exhaust after header (it looks like a large resonator, about 26" overall length.) it improved the situation very much. now i still hear the same tone at those rpm's but it is much quieter. at about 4000-4500 rpm it starts to get pretty loud but you have to be pretty intent on moving quickly to get there so it doesn't concern me. when i am just cruising around at normal speed and acceleration the volume is quite low so i'm happy again. it only took two mufflers :)

also got new tires today. two rears to replace the bald ones that came with the set and i also got the front ones balanced :rolleyes: no more vibration at 80+ mph

When I went back to the junk yard the CRX had already been pretty well stripped. About the only useful parts left were the sunroof, rear wiper and engine block. The dash was still there but someone destroyed it getting the heater core out. Sorry.

Hey Andrew,

I have a little spare time right now, so I've been tinkering on the D16A1. I rebember that you had mentioned that there is a shop in your area that does good, reasonably priced machine work. What do you think they might charge to rebuild and port my 16V cylinder head? Can they regrind the cams so I can get a little more umph out of the motor?

P.S. I've decided to just assemble the D16A1 motor as is w/o turbo. I'm really excited about the idea of building a turbo Vtec motor instead.

well the machine shop i went to turned out not to be as great as i originally anticipated. they did good work but i wouldn't bother coming up from seattle for them. however the cam grinder i went to was excellent.
his name is Geoff Bardal owner of Colt Cams.
he uses grinds he has developed over the last 25 years as a cam grinder. when i went in to his shop and set my cam on the desk he told me what year/make/model/engine size it came from and why my last exhaust lobe was almost flat before i opened my mouth. he then spent the next hour talking to me about old hondas and all sorts of stuff. he usually has 3 or 4 grinds for each motor. stage 1 will be cose to stock, 2 and 3 will be more lumpy. he also does nitros/forced induction grinds for some motors like the EW’s. with the EW’s he uses a tri flow design where one of the intake valves opens slightly before the other for better mixture.

here is his info.

Thanks,

I'll give him a call.

Wow... We're all three on at once!
w00t!

not any more

I'm still here... And it says that lxndr is still here...

I'm back!

I left to go Ebay surfing.

so it does, 2 minutes ago it didn't

Hmmm...

Now what?

any goodies?

I'm about to get off... It's after midnight here...
Still haven't heard anything back about the MOD position.. Might have to PM Moppie to make sure she even got my application...

any goodies?

Yeah, but nothing I need. However there is an SI center console for Figori up for auction.

Ooo... Might have to check that out..

Back to the MOD issue that you guys have been ignoring. Seems the MOD that I sent the application to was banned... That sucks... So, I sent Aves911 a PM.. Hope all goes well.

this probably breaks a forum rule but i took my car to just over 105 mph last night and didn't realize till afterward that my choke was still partly pulled. i could have taken it to 110 like that but i was running out of space. makes me wonder what i could do without the choke partly pulled...

i was reading something about some old members and mods that got banned for improper behaviour. probably got one of them

I don't think it breaks any rules. Posting speeds or talking about 'racing' isn't against any rules that I have read... I took RexSi to 105 one night... Hitting around 4 1/2 ish K rpm... Is this right? I don't think I have the Si tranny in here...

Didn't I read in a recent post, something about you maybe doin' some racing? I'd love to see the look on the guy's face when you beat his Eclipse!

I wonder how your tranny's geared? I hit somewhere around 5K @ 80MPH.

i didn't think i posted but i did do a 1/4 mile with an old toyota a couple months. beat him.

sounds similar to my 5th gear. last night i did about 5k in fourth at 95 mph and ~4500 in 5th at 105. i don't know that the CRX ratios are tho.

as far as the rules go in these fora. i think you're right. i believe forum 500 (thins one being 677) is the street racing one... most other message boards frown upon street race talk.

It's just wierd... When I first drove the car in 2000, I could not just chirp the tires going into second, I could flat out burn the rubber shifting into second. It makes me think that I don't have the Si tranny... Although, putting this final drive gear with the rest of an Si tranny would defenitely be worth it in the top end. :D

CRAP! Maybe my new tires are too small!

Although when I'm doin' 80mph, I don't pay much attention the ol' taco-meter. I'm usually keeping an eye out for the authorities.

*grins* We have a section of highway that has a cement center divider... At night, or during the day, it's nothing to see me flying down the road doing 95+mph. Got gas today... $2.21 a gallon... *gulps* But I got 29.5 mpg over the past week of beating the car to the limits and back! I can't be more happier!

C'mon guys! I'm wearing out my refresh button!

I'm replying! Just searching on e-bay now. :P You got me searching!

Oh, that's why.

Andrew's gone.

What a hoser aye?

By the way...Nice nipple ring in your avatar... Hope it isn't yours...

I'm replying! Just searching on e-bay now. :P You got me searching!

Oh well,

I'll let you search for stuff on Ebay, I gotta go, gotta work early tomorrow.

Have fun at work! I know I won't!

Oh, that's why.

Andrew's gone.
sorry. got a call from a friend to go out for some late night food.

with my car i can sit at 80mph doing ~3400 rpm in 5th. with my old motor and tranny it was ~3800 rpm

hmm...since you guys are talking about it... i got my rex up to about 110 (by the speedo, which i know isn't accurate because of my GPS, i was doing 85 by the speedo, and 80 by the gps :)) but anyway, one of my buddies in his fiero took off, down a major highway, and i needed to catch up to him, so i just wanted to see how fast i could go :D

so in 4th gear, 55 is a little over 3000 RPM's
and 5th gear, 65 is a little over 3 grand as well, i'll check tonight

but pushing it to 110 was rough, i think it was near 5000 rpms for my little carbed motor :)

Figori,

You'd better jump on these!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7965776241&category=33650

I would if I had the money... *snaps* I really need to get that second job...

Oh yeah,

I double checked today and I'm at 3700 RPM at 80 MPH. It's amazing what happens when you shift it into 5th (LOL!).

I would if I had the money... *snaps* I really need to get that second job...

Borrow some money, or rob a 7-11! These parts rarely come up on Ebay and are even harder to find in the junk yards!

kinda quiet

Shhhhh!

I'm tryin' to sleep!

Oh yeah...

I'm cleaning out the garage and I've got a bunch of parts I don't need. If I've got anything you need please make me a reasonable offer before I sell them on Ebay.

Here's the list so far:

CRX SI sunroof motor w/switch
'86 SI ECU
'87 Integra ECU (manual trans)
CRX clock
CRX rear speaker panels (blue)
'86-'89 Integra LS SE power mirrors w/control switch and wiring
'86-'89 Integra LS SE power windows w/arm rest controls, PS switch, module and wiring
'85 CRX SI foam rear spoiler
'84-'87 Civic foam rear spoiler
'86-'89 Integra LS SE foam rear spoiler
CRX ugly but crack free header panel
'87 D16A1 cylinder head w/cams
'87 D16A1 distributor and cam angle sensor
CRX hood (almost perfect)
CRX side skirts (not SI)
CRX SI rear bumper (white)
CRX SI glow gauges w/ HF VSS installed

Hmmm...

Maybe I should just get another CRX and put most all of these parts on it.

Hey Andrew,

I like you big blue bike!

" '87 D16A1 cylinder head w/cams"
how many heads do you have?

Hey Andrew,

I like you big blue bike!
this one?

CRX ugly but crack free header panel
CRX SI glow gauges w/ HF VSS installed

hmm... i'm not so good on the reasonable offer, or am i good with money... like, i have none now, but, i'm going to ask anyway

the gauges are for 1g?
and define ugly for the header panel :)

As in... The fact that we have one is ugly...

Yeah... What is the year for the cluster? Going with a b-series swap needs the VSS...

How about $10 shipped to 39702 for the clock?
and could you throw in just the sunroof switch without the motor??? $5 extra?

Have you tried the power-windows in the CRX yet? Just curious...

And you are positive the power-mirrors won't work? Not even with a little modifications?

I would love to jump on that header-panel... But alas, I have limited denero...

And maybe you should just get another shell and build it up.... Show class quality!

" '87 D16A1 cylinder head w/cams"
how many heads do you have?

I have 2 heads, one for an '86-'87 and one for an '88 that I'll be using with my motor. I grabbed the '87 head from the junk yard because I couldn't find all the parts I needed for the '88 motor. I figured I would just slap an '87 head on it if I couldn't find a distributor and ECU for the '88, since I've already got everything to make the '87 work.

hmm... i'm not so good on the reasonable offer, or am i good with money... like, i have none now, but, i'm going to ask anyway

Yes, all parts are for 1G CRX, 3G Civic, or 1G Integra.

The paint on the header panel was sprayed on to cover the massive amount of rock chips in the original paint. It looks like it was painted by a 10 year old, on a windy day, with a $0.99 can of spray paint. One of the mounting tabs is broken off, but the exposed part is crack free.

The cluster came out of my '86 CRX SI, I installed the glow gauges and VSS. The gauges have a silver back ground and the characters either glow green or blue depending on how you have it switched. The VSS came out of an '86 HF.

The power windows will work but require some modification. The regulator on the Integra is slightly longer than the CRX (both 1G), so you'll have to take the regulators apart and swap out the arms, this can be done by taking out the coil spring in the middle. Other than that, it seems like it will work, but I haven't actually tried.

The power mirrors will also require some modification. Part of the mirror mount/window frame on the CRX will need to be cut out in order to accept the power motor, and one of the 3 mounting screw holes needs to be moved. The shape of the Integra mirror is slightly different at the window frame so there might need to be some shaving involved in order to make it fit, but it seems like this will only be a minor modification. Also when I held the mirrors up to my CRX (when I was contemplating installing them), I noticed that the power mirrors are a bit bigger than the stock CRX mirrors, so I decided not to install them because I didn't want them to look like big Dumbo ears. The Dumbo effect could also be caused by the fact that the Integra LS SE mirrors are painted white which makes them seem bigger.

Could you hang onto the power windows and mirrors, then? I don't have it right now, but I was thinking $75 + shipping for both the mirrors and the power windows? If nothing, my brother might want to try those mirrors out... And the $15 for the sunroof switch and the clock? Shipped to 39702?
