gohanix Sep 16, 2003 07:02 PM

it means ur approaching the km for the next maintenance.. the more it flashes the closer you are.. oil change and all that good stuff

RBABE Sep 16, 2003 07:06 PM

Condensation is a very good thing, just not in headlights/tailights, that sucks big donkey ****, Erik, is it fixed now?

Big Baller L Sep 16, 2003 07:09 PM

gohanix: the thing is i just had my latest service. the next one is supposed to be in like 8000 km

RBABE Sep 16, 2003 07:10 PM

they might of not reset it then, you can just reset it yourself

Big Baller L Sep 16, 2003 07:20 PM

Big Baller L Sep 16, 2003 08:36 PM

I didn't because my car came with OEM bars. If yours didn't than you would have to drill.. :(
Same thing for LilJoe.

Big Baller L Sep 16, 2003 08:58 PM

dayum that sucks ass...that means i would prolly hafta do the install myself right? Well im sure tek could help me out on that one....right tek?? hahaha...i need mods so bably...maybe i should get a job before i start whining!! hahaha
Maintenance light....anyone?? ideas...ways to fix it?

player Sep 16, 2003 09:55 PM

so infront of my house they are building town homes, rigth beside that they WILL build more houses, but for some reason they paved a circular road there already, and man oh man is it fun, at 2 point it turns really sharp, now i am addicted, i go there and turn as fast as i can, to improve mt skill, but i cant get to go fast enough, that inner feeling that i will flip into the gravel always makes me press the breaks, but one thing i have kearn to do, is not go with my extints of pushing the breaks when i am skidding, instead i just let off the gas slowly, that way my back end doesnt fly out.

on another note, DNA says we are having a hurrican BBQ this weekend

player Sep 16, 2003 10:40 PM

so tek, solo ii this sunday?

RBABE Sep 16, 2003 10:40 PM

Baller, the only reason the maint light comes on is because it is programmed to come on at major service intervals and as long as you have done all your minor/major service intervals, then, you can turn it off yourself bt holfing down the odometer button and turning the key in the ignition to accessory and waiting about 10 secs and it will go off by itself and then you may let go of the odometer button as well as keeping the key in the ignition on accessory.

tekgnosis Sep 17, 2003 05:06 AM

Baller: yo

follow what rbabe said above for the maint req. light.

The trigger happens at around 12K for the 16K check-up, and at around 30K for the 32K checkup...etc.


As for drilling holes: I don't think so, d00d. As of 2002, I thought the DX came with sway bars in the rear?

Just take a look at the back of your car (get on your hands and knees --no, not like that you perv!) and see if there is a sway bar.

It's pretty small, so don't be fooled into thinking it's not there if you see this tiny little thing :)

Anywho, we can always check it out the next time we meet. No worries. And as for helping you with the install: anytime!

hehe, i like drilling. i got to dremel my car a little bit the other day to install my new horn. its pretty friggin loud. no more wimpy honda horn for me.

oh, and the headlights are in too. They look pretty cool, Caryn did a really good job on them.

I'll post a picture soon.

later

tekgnosis Sep 17, 2003 06:52 AM

D00d, dremel's rock! :)

I didn't have to dremel for my horn...which makes me think that your horn is quite more manly than mine :) hehehe

is it the "Freeway blaster" from crappy tire? That's the one that I stuffed in. I'm tempted to go back and get the air-horns :) hehehe

mmm...air horns :) hehehe

Big Baller L Sep 17, 2003 08:04 AM

rbabe: okay thanks alot...i was stressing out a lil bit...cuz i just got my pullies installed...so i was worried they messed something up. Thanks again!
Tek: yah i checked last night for the hell of it...and there are NO sway bars on my car at all!!! Not one! So for the rear i guess id hafta drill into the control arm or whatever the thing is called. Not a big deal cuz its hollow anyways...i wont be getting one anytime soon cuz i need a job...and i wouldnt want it to rust on me in the winter..but when i do...i will come for you!!!

Tofast4me Sep 17, 2003 08:58 AM

K when he says it is loud just picture this. 3 hornes, yes 3. We have the El Grande, comes with 2. Then we decided to put the honda horn back on. Just to give it that little touch. Lets put it this way, don't cut him off or you might go deaf. He was even thinking with Jeremy there to rig up the whole light action. Honk the horn and the lights flash. We decided that was too much work lol.

player Sep 17, 2003 09:48 AM

i wanna make a rear projector light for people tailgating me, shine it in thier eyes, i just dont know where to put it without looking stupid

RBABE Sep 17, 2003 09:52 AM

Oh man, my crew mate installed triple trumpet air horns and I was driving with him in his passenger seat and then it happened. Someone cut him off within inches of hitting him and he blew the horns, the guy then got so startled he ran off the road into a tree. He or is car was not hurt, therefore this was funny as all get out. We couldn't stop laughing for days about this. Our pathetic little meep meep excuse me mr., could you please move when you get the chance for I need to get by and hope you hear my cute and fuzzy OEM horn in time for you to not mash into me is ALL OVER with air horns! YIPPY FREAKIN SKIPPY! :D

Pharoh Sep 17, 2003 11:59 AM

Baller: Sucks that you'll have to drill in the control arm brace. Just spray that beeyatch with Krown spray when you're done and that will hopefully help.

Ummm..I don't think I'm gonna go with a giant horn like that, maybe just a freeway blaster and a friendly middle fingered jesture will suffice.

RBABE Sep 17, 2003 12:03 PM

You can't flip peeps off, oh wait, yes you can! You see, here, you get shot for doing that, but, not there! So, flip away I guess! LOL

Tofast4me Sep 17, 2003 01:03 PM

K maybe I made them sound louder then they actually are. See with us (I mean Julian when I say us) has a little bit of a problem driving. The problem is that people keep picking a fight with him. He got fed up with the whole being drove off the road last week. Seems like our car is a magnet for morons. Since the whole finger thing does nothing we decided to make our horn louder. By the way the whole light thing was a joke with Jeremy.

Well I hope so. I took the left light off and re did the sealing. So I'm hoping it will fix the problem! Either way I'll redo both lights this winter b/c I put my stock ones on.

Big Baller L Sep 17, 2003 06:53 PM

Now i dont wanna seem like im idtching my civic crew, but if its gonna rain the mett will most likely be off..and then i should have gone on the trip. Now if it doesnt rain and i have made commintments to go on the trip them im screwed...what should i do?

gohanix Sep 17, 2003 08:54 PM

where is the trip to??

player Sep 17, 2003 10:36 PM

ok the war has moved to this thread.

keep talking baller, keep talking, and i might deside to drill a hole in your toungue and attach the sway bar there instead.
