Also got a new set of S-drives mounted. It's like getting new brakes after a long while. You forget how good they are when they were new. The previous set were about 4-5 years old.
While doing that I picked up a new set of lug nuts as some of the old ones were worn to the point I was worried to put them back on without stripping them to get off again. Figured now was a good time to get some purdy green ones. The darker ones I wanted were on back order so I got lighter instead. Doesn't match the car as well but close enough.
I also detailed it to a mirror(wash-clay bar-wash-dry. Klasse AIO and HG seal) and added rain-X. Typically it doesn't see rain outside of the Dragon. I'm such a ***** about this car sometimes, I get it.
After that threw on the car bra and exhaust silencer for the drive down. The exhaust isn't loud generally but it's a b16 tranny and sitting at high revs for 12 hours even the quite Comptech can get old. I also replaced my previous orangutan tow hook buddy with one that wasn't short an arm and leg. Strapped on and ready to hold on for a ride. :biggrin:
So, the leather on my steering wheel was looking (and feeling) pretty rough. I initially planned to buy a used steering wheel on Ebay and install a new leather cover on it. While looking for one, I found a steering wheel with its leather in very good shape. I bought that one and finally got around to installing it this morning. It was actually easier than I expected.
Old crusty wheel:
Replacement wheel installed:
With any luck, this wheel will hold up for a few years.
This was a perfect match because the wheel I bought was in very good shape and has its original cover. The Redline cover I was looking at would not be a perfect match:
The leather finish really started going down hill when I brought my nephews to the dragon a few years ago. They were nervous and had very sweaty hands. The leather got sticky and deteriorated from that point on.
Cleared the water drain tubes, had bad leaks but that took care of it. Switched door panels, center console, arm rest to black interior pieces. Went to a salvage yard and picked up a few more pieces.
My friend just order rear main seal assembly, valve cover gasket set, oil pan gasket, and (2) cams oil seal for my motor. The only thing left is to order the main rod bearings (I get my builder to order it from Acura). My motor will be assemble
I'm debating if I want to go with HIDs (35w or 55w) or LED for my JDM SIR-G headlights w/black housing & D2S projector install.
So, a couple weeks ago I find a small blue piece of soft plastic on the floor of my RSX under the pedals. It is half of a round piece about the size of a quarter. Searching the OEM parts diagrams led me to part # 46905-SK7-000, "Stopper, Clutch Pedal". I performed an image search on this part number and found it to be a match for the fragment I found.
This part appears to be common to many if not all Hondas with manual transmissions. I had my wife stop by a convenient Honda dealer to buy one for me. She calls me as she is leaving the dealer and tells me that the new part number is 46505-SA5-000 and she bought one. This is the common pedal stopper used for the pedal switches that we all know and love. I tell her to go back to the parts counter and tell them that this is not the correct part. She finally convinces them to look up the part number and they ultimately determine that it is, in fact, a different part that no one there has heard of and they do not have it in stock. I let it slide until I had a reason to place an online parts order.
Well, the Odyssey needed rear brakes so I finally ordered the correct part along with the brake pads.
I finally installed it. This particular "stopper" attaches to a spot on the firewall behind the clutch pedal and provides a soft stop for the back of the pedal arm to contact when it is fully depressed. I notice the difference now when pressing in the clutch after it being metal on metal for a few weeks.
I imagine most people never replace this part when it fails. Look on the firewall where the pedal arm contacts it to see if this blue "stopper" is still there. If it isn't, you will see a small hole where the "stopper" mounts and part number 46905-SK7-000 is what you need.
HELP! "Limp mode"?
Made is 90 miles east of Los Angeles in my newly-acquired Acura (with 246,000 already on it). Automatic.
Motoring down I-10 at modest 60 MPH when "check engine" light came on. Motor still running as stopped to check for usual suspects.

I recently put new spark plugs in my integra as well as a new rotor for the distributor. I can't get it to start. It wont even crank and it had a new battery so I dont know what's going on with it. Ideas?
Hey guys,
Got my old 92 GSR back from a friend last weekend. I dropped this car off with him ~8 years ago and haven't seen it since (life happens). I used to work at a local Honda $tealership and this was my daily driver. Unfortunately I no longer have access to all those amenities, so this will...
