So far today has been fun, full report a little later.

Thanks for stopping by Z00key!!

All good must say car looks like a bargain for the price despite needed some work but should still come out on top after all work done and registered. Maybe if some of the nice guys here will let you put up on hoist and give you an under the car report in exchange for a hug or cold one (or even beer)

Ok, So. Z00key and I went to supercheap and picked up some stuff. Charged up my battery and fitted a battery brace. Thought we'd shaved off enough of the screw.... (unfortunately we were wrong) 2 new dents on the hood :D, but with the car now starting, we went for a spin, all was good, car's running well, then it was time to try out Z00key's Integra, upon returning from a ~3minute drive, we were greeted by my driveway...covered in coolant. Not sure what the issue is, but the car stopped leaking shortly after, I cleaned off the coolant and the car stopped leaking, not sure if it's a hose, radiator or if it was over-filled.

Had to meet the Wife for Lunch, I'm home now, about to fit new wiper blades.

And yes,

I give nice hugs :D .

I've never used that stuff, only toothpaste and elbow grease but can't see how you'll stuff it up

PS morning all

I use Autosol personally.

Morning you beautiful bastards!

So, Upon starting the car this morning (to see if the battery held its charge, which it didnt, the coolant leak returned. So Im thinking cracked/loose hose possibly? the leak only occurs while the car is running.

Sounds like you better get your head in there for a look

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
