Seriously OT: Whoring Galore here in Part 4!

I'll post the pics in a new post on my old pics thread, so y'all can see them... he said he took pics of the truck and the big Bronk, so I dunno what they're like, I haven't seen 'em yet either.

well i'm back...and when did Slave make a return?

Slave came back as "Ascendance". Poor kid has nothing better to do than to come back over an over again.

I HATE ELECTRONICS!!! My freaking monitor is going crazy the past 2 days. It's a piece of shit Del flat panel that I've had for a few years now. Suddenly yesterday it decided to flip out on me. It keeps Auto Adjusting itself (shifting the horizontal and vertical lengths to their "optimum" positions). Ususally it would only do it when I press the button on the monitor to do it manually, but not anymore. So when I try to do something, I get this black bar in the center of my screen, and the screen shakes back and forth. Sometimes it will do it non stop for 15-20 seconds at a time. and when I shutdown my computer, I get a message saying "In Power Save Mode: Press Any Key on Keyboard or Move Mouse"; like the damn thing thinks it's in standby or hibernate more. Of course when I search for answers online, NO ONE has a solid answer how to fix the damn thing. If I call Dell, I'll never be able to understand the person on the other end of the phone, they'll never be able to understand me, I'll waste 30 minutes (if I'm lucky), and won't even get a friggin' answer.

sounds fustration...and hilarious :)

remove plastic casing from it, disconnect switch panel, tape off contacts on wire side, replace front bezel.

You'll have to leave it powered on tho, it's the switch that's going nuts, top guess.

Basically, it will stay in "standby" when you power down your computer (which I never do), and eventually will shut itself down to a "power save mode" where nothing is displayed on the screen, then when you power the computer back on, it gets a "wake up" signal, and "wakes up".

yup, I played around with it more and it is one of the buttons that's sticking. There's no way I'd take it apart though, I have horrible luck with electronics and will definitely break it if I did. And...screw you Blu haha

want I should get you the shcema for it? you just use a small plastic screwdriver to pop the lil clips on the sides, and you can pull the front bezel off w/o "taking it apart"

but I suppose if you got that button to unstick, all's well on the monitor front then?

IOW, the rear panel covers up the electronics that control the LCD and PSU, so its screwed onto a metal "ground plate" and the front bezel just clips into it, it's just held in there like the front panel to most older nokia fones, you can pull it right off.... in fact, there are companies that make "gaming" bezels for LCD monitors that have neat designs and stuff, and they use the same lil plastic "flat head screwdriver" that is used in the iPod battery change kit.

Believe me if there's a way to break something or mess it up even more, I'll find a way. :grinyes: I killed a PS2 trying to clean it and fix the disk read error problem, and I destroyed my PC's processor by taking it out to clean & putting it back in wrong. I do appreciate the advice & the walkthrough though, I'll definitely keep it in mind if I start losing my mind from this message popping up on my screen every 2 minutes.

hit it with a bat..... err at least that works on EGR valves...

it didn't work on an IACV... I had to change it.. but at least the car idles normal now :D 575 RPM.. but I think I might turn the idle back up a bit, at least to 750.. seems like it takes too long to take off...

NP on the walkthrough, I used to play w/ dell monitors all the time, and it's ALWAYS the switch panels.

575 is not normal.

575 is damn near dead imo

My internet has been fakked for the past 2 days. I haven't even been able to get my whore on :(

575 is what the car calls for.. 575-675 under the hood on the sticker

I'm going to make it either 750 or 800, so it feels better taking off.

meh, my IACV is acting up.. ima hook it to the ohm meter to make sure its still good, if not, ill be replacing it too

mine was sticking open from oil and crap... so I took it off, but I keeping it, I'll just take it apart and clean it out, so I have a spare.

Funny, every other Honda calls for 750 ±50 rpm.

dunno, I'll have to look again.. I'm pretty sure I read it right tho... I'll take a pic of it if it says 575-675

the hood came off a '90 EX too, if that means anything

just hit it with a baseball bat, LoL.

I have the worst luck! I'm not even over being sick when I have an allergic reaction to I thought food I ate. It's a week later and now I'm starting to suspect laundry soap. the store didn't have what I would normally buy so I grabbed whatever. AGH!

I use arm & hammer laundry detergent.. never had a problem, but I can't use liquid fabric softener, and it doesn't have any in it either.

I'm allergic to most any detergent/body wash with added fragrances and crap. I'm all about Purell and Lever 2000

I use nothing. Straight water.

I used to use whatever was available, b/c I'm not actually allergic to anything, just that liquid softener makes my clothes feel funny...

My wife on the other hand is allergic to everything, it seems like, so we have to be careful what we buy to clean the house with... I can't buy shit like Febreeze, b/c it gives her hives.

So, we basically clean everything w/ windex or vinegar and water or dish soap or whatever, comet, sometimes, but I can get along w/ this, b/c dish soap is much cheaper than "cleaning products".

Shit was a lot easier in college when showering was much less of a priority. There was a good year's stretch when me and my roommate would only shower after we could begin to smell each others funk... I miss those days

well, if I go by what you say there, my car won't need a bath for another 13 years or so... they start to stink after awhile... lol

woohoo...now have a 57" computer monitor "thumbsup"

Woo HOO I now have pimp ass wheels and tires!

..on another note, no more than 2 minutes after mounting said tires and going for a test drive..I backed out of the driveway into a truck and destroyed my hatch, shattered the window and busted out the left tail light.. GO ME.

i don't believe you :shakehead

I have the tail light casing painted black inside for you... makes a nice purplish effect on the tail light w/ factory lenses, but I borked the lenses taking them off... so they're screwed.

as for the glass, can't help you there, unless it becomes legal to put speedglas in the back windshield, then I'll sell you some of that :P

Na, I only have enough to do the 1/4 glass (consequently, that's all that's legal that I'm aware of so far.. don't even think I can do the rear passenger windows, or the front door windows.. )

Love the anti-drug poster... never thought of that one.. but I did make one that used to hang on the wall in my bedroom some time ago that said H|O|N|D|A lol.

Friend of mine took the cue and made one that said B|O|O|S|T. He has them both now.

i was going to get that shirt from PasswordJDM

I didn't realise it was a piece of clothing, we just used to make those stupid posters all the time, and friends of friends or their lil brothers would want something printed on it, so we'd do it.

Cool

Sell out...
:p

Frodo, ya gotta lower that beast... I can see your coils man :P

All in all, that damage isn't all THAT bad.. it's def fixable, and it doesn't look like any serious chassis damage.. just the hatch (liftgate) is dented and the taillight is kicked, right? (other than the rear window, obviously).

BTW, those wheels are pimp on the car... just need to tuck a lil more :P

Will get pics of the wheels on my car as soon as I get someone to weld the one up and get them re-painted.

Holy Wheel Gap Batman!!

Dude, I dont care if you dont believe me..but those are eibach prokits! LOL

I know it needs to go Down2Ground :P

And yes its just the hatch..I made sure by pulling on the tail light which promptly snapped in half exposing the chassis. It did come about an inch from clipping the rear quarter though as you can see where the "honda" is totally "V" shaped.

that sux...but atleast it was just the hatch

Sell out...
:p

i know i know...but i couldn't sell photos unless i signed up...and now my wife says "help me with mine" :(

Sell out...
:p

well isn't that the kettle calling the pot black :icon16:

haha :owned:

i had to show some luv :smooch:

i'm just as emo as you :grinno:

So I think ive decided that until I have the time to paint/have the car painted, the hood, roof, and hatch are going black. Not ricer flat black though. The rest of the body has good paint..for some reason those 3 parts decided to fade all to hell.

A friend of a friend, painted his roof, trunk, and the center part of his hood black; it looks pretty sick. The rest of the car is a deep dark purple color w/carbon fiber fenders. Another friend had a dark gray Jetta with a black hood, roof, & trunk; that looked sick too.

I have a black hood and decklid... well, charcoal.. stock EX '90 color.. doesn't look bad, but I'm not a big fan of the whole "lets' paint half our car one color that doesn't really match anything else" scene... so the whole car will be black come spring, and when I do the front end swap, ti's getting blacked before I even put it on.

Well, my bumpers, wheels, and trim are black..

that's standard tho.. that's the way the car comes.. well, it has hubcaps on some models, and all but the DX and STD come with color matched bumpers.. but still.. there were options to get black front/rear bumpers and no caps.. the trim is always black iirc.

I don't like it when ppl paint their hood and decklid, or when they paint ghey ass "viper" racing stripes on the hood.. whatever.

I prefer OEM look vehicles, or even cars that have obvious modding but "appear" like it could have come that way from the factory. Clean cars FTW.

Hrm, yeah, I dont particularly love the idea of making the hood and roof black..but itll be a shit-ton better than the paint on it now. And yeah I know they came with black bumpers, but its not like the only black on the car will be the hood. Oh and btw I found a hatch, and its RED..im making an offer on it. Coincidentally its the same guy I sold my y7 to.

You and that guy are going to build a 'car-guy' relationship lmao.

You've seen my car.. we couldn't find a matched color hood and decklid.. so we got black ones.. when I get the front end off the '90-'91, it'll be a diff story, everything is getting painted before it's put on.

oh, and by the way, the roof, hood and deck fade, as well as the top part of the doors, from sun exposure.. that's why usually the bottom sections of the doors are almost pristine, and the same w/ the fenders and that section of the 1/4's

so happy new year and what not. i'm back from my leave. it sucked. ppl don't change and there isn't enough time to see everyone.

yeah, that's always the case... there's never time to do everything you'd like to.. same thing when we went south for christmas.. we only ended up seeing burd and heather and her mom, I got to see magoo for a 1/2 hour or so while wife was at her fathers, and that was about it, then we came back up for christmas w/ my family, then home... nothing special, really.

I'm trying to quit smoking today (for the millionth time). But I'm using patches this time, so I shouldn't feel like my heart is pounding out of my chest & like I'm losing my mind (though I have a feeling I will anyways). Been smoking for just about 6 years now; 2 packs a day when I first started, at least a pack a day for most of the other time (usually 20-25 cigarettes a day), and half a pack a day for the past 6-9 months. At $5-6 a pack, it's just a huge waste of money. I'm sick of getting out of breath just because my nose is a little congested. Most of all, I'm sick of going outside when it's below freezing and snowing out, just to have a cigarette at 3 in the f^&%ing morning (I'm an insomniac, and last night I went out at 4am for one).

hung over... big time :(

yeah it was a rough night for me...gotta find this title for the legend cuz its goin to the junkyard next week..i thiiiink its in my parents shed in a box in the glove compartment buuut we'll see..im glad its finally gettin outta here..im sick of lookin at it..anyone kno of any good h22a builds?? my buddy just blew his lude the other day..

BLU aren't you looking to sell that H22 you got? Or did you already get rid of it in a trade?

If you can't find the title, there is a lost title form that you can file w/ the junkyard, and they'll send it in and claim it as "abandoned".

Had to do that several times when we had cars around for so long that they started to rust out and such, then forgot where we put the titles for them.
