Hello from St. Louis...

[tr0n]

Hey folks. Found the site browsing google for DIY options. Recently acquired a 93 Honda Accord and it needs alot of work. I think any work worth doing is worth doing well, including add the eco-friendly bells and whistles. So I'm here for some help and guidance in what to do where. Also, I'm no mechanic, this is my first endeavor into working on a car, and my brother via long distance along with my Haynes manual can only get me so far, so I'm counting on you guys and any local STL partners to lend a hand. Maybe. I wouldn't, but maybe you are a nicer person than I am. Ha!

Welcome to ecomodder! Have any idea what the mileage is like yet?

Welcome to EM

Not yet. I'm sure it's pretty bad. The entire exhaust system needs to be replaced, and I have an issue with my fuel injection as well. I probably need some sensors replaced and I have a tube running from the IAB that is supposed to goto a vacuum tank but I haven't been able to figure out where that is yet. The idle is bad, it burns oil and coolant, I have nice blue and grey smoke pouring out of my 'fart can' that some dumb kid installed on it... It's a mess, hence the name, "Nightmare". So... I'm going to just work on it piece by piece and slowly learn how to be a mechanic with books, the internet, and friends/family and maybe it will turn into a mean machine one day. I'm going to fill up the tank and tires tonight and mark the mileage, then I'll be able to give a guesstimate as to what kind of mpg I'm getting before work is done. I'll be posting actively as time goes by...

Oh, and thanks for the warm welcome folks. :P

Wow, that sounds like it's been beat to hell.

[tr0n]

Oh you have no idea... It's a miracle this thing even runs.

Another st. louis chap.

Did you pay anything for that car?



number ONE priority is to get rid of the fart can.
