Fixed everything, celebrating with a Honda technician!

I went to Honda two days ago.

Remember the racing incident were the police almost sent me to jail and my car got stuck in the dividing thing between the two lanes?

Remember the turning incident were I slipped in the rain and jumped to the other lane?

Well, my car had more than two weird sounds, a metal clinging one, a train-like one, and one sound at 4000 rpms. I went to Honda and this guy who is my friend, awesome guy, who helped me with other things for free such as my reverse gauges, was working on a 04 civic. As soon as he saw me he stoped working and came over and said, whats up Edgar how you doing. I said can you hope in and listen to all the sounds in my car. We went to a street and I revved it and everything and he heard the sounds.

He took the replacements of the parts from other civics, parts that were not being used. I had absolutely NO brakes, so it sounded like a train, he gave me semi-new *balatas* (dont know the word in english) the things that press against the disk when you brake. He gave me the two front ones for free.

Then we opened the trunk and havent noticed but my B16A2 was kinda leaning towards the left. The support was totally destroyed, but totally. He gave me a used one and installed one, and the motor leveld, when he put the replacement the motor raised, I was like *WTF*.

Then we raised the car, and a piece of metal was touching my muffler so thats what sounded weird, he fixed it. Easy fix

Then the craziest thing, in the back suspension control arm, the big screw was almost undone, it was close from going out. So he said I was very lucky because if I went fast again, my tire and wheel wouldve come off along with the arm of the suspension. He said i was a crazy mutherfucker and laughed, and fixed it with his tools.

Everything was fixed, he jumped in and he said lets go and take a roll. The car felt noticibly better, no sounds whatsoever, the motor was very smooth, no rough points on the power band. I was sooo sooo happy. We were at the first light beside the Honda, and we raced against a white new stratus NA, beat him very very easily and we were both laughing.

Such a nice guy, he gave me everything for free. So since my dad owns a live arts performing theater I gave him some tickets for a nice show for free and some 2X1 movie tickets I had. He said I could come on sundays to Honda dealership and work on my car with him.

I also removed the air filter and air box cover, and the WOT (wide open throttle) sound is very deep and loud, pretty cool, just gonna leave it for a little. Im so glad, didnt pay 1 cent and my car is all fixed.

Peace.

That's true... it's really not good for your engine.
