  • Can you mod the trunk/rear light with a 48 SMD?

    Can you mod the trunk/rear light with a 48 SMD?
    No, it won't fit. You need a festooned bulb. The one I have has 6 LEDs on it which seems to be enough for the trunk area.

    Yeah, I used a festoon for the back as well. As for the blinds, they are trash now. They warped all to hell on the first 95 degree day. Oh well, they were fun while they lasted! Got the alt. repaired today. The Diode went out in it. Did not get her back together though, that will have to wait til' tomorrow.

    Dang, yeah the ones I made out of wood warped really badly as well. I really want wood ones but need to find some that will keep their shape.

    I was sick as a dog yesterday, but alternator is back in today. Jumped on it right after work! Also gave her an oil change and had to replace fusible link to the battery after shorting out the alternator post...oops. Happy to be back!

    Wagon's first snow of 2013. Not much, but it's snow!

    My left front brake started scraping the other night. Time to buy pads! Brakes never quite since I had the car. I bled them well & went through them when I first got the car. After that, I never thought much of it. It didn't feel like it had full brakes but I kinda got used to it and drove accordingly. When I went to put on pads I figured out why. The right side pads were completely gone. Left side were still new. Apparently the left caliper has been froze up this whole time. Cant believe I have driven 22,000 miles like this Ha! Well went to the junkyard to get a caliper today. Found a sweet 91 sedan with 114K on it. Snagged the caliper and a power steering pump cause mine has been leaking for some time & just recently got real bad! Got the power steering pump changed out. That was a breeze. Now I am sitting with a broke off wheel stud and a caliper that don't fit the wagon. Thought sure the caliper was the same. Guess not :( Oh well, I'll just source a new one on Monday. She'll be back on the road and safer soon! Can't wait to feel how my car stops with four brakes instead of three!
    How she rests tonight:

    Good to hear you're getting problems fixed. Let us know when you end up getting the caliper done. I personally would get re-mans from Autozone
    and turn in yours for cores. That's what I did when I upgraded to the Integra spindles and found out both calipers were seized. Good luck!
  • Resto looks awesome, clean wagoo!
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    Remanufactured caliper was sourced at Carquest for $63. Core charge of like $75! Wow. Needless to say I let them have my old one!

    Got it put on and we're good to go again. It's nice to have brakes and a power steering pump that doesn't leave a puddle everywhere I park.
    My parking lot at work is concrete and every time I got off work there was about a 4" diameter puddle. Last night when I left work, I left nothing :)

    Good to hear, glad everything worked out! You wouldn't happen to be going to Import Alliance in GA this April would you?
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    Man, I want to go so bad. Unfortunately I had prior plans for that weekend that I can't miss out on. :(
    That is why I am hosting my own meet in May. Wish I could meet you guys at IA though.

    Back on the road for two days and my starter craps out. At least I think that is what's going on. Started the car up and it made at terrible whining noise. Looked under the hood and that's the area it was coming from. Turned off the ignition and starter was still running. Weird. Wagon hast to be left at my buddy's house. It'll be a day or two before I can get over there to further diagnose the situation.

    Love those wheels especially with the aero discs, I wish I could get my hand on some of these.
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    Yeah, no aero discs came with them. Still happy though.
  • Always been a huge fan of those wheels, nice pick up!
  • getboostedgetboosted Band Wagon
    Love those wheels for the CRX!
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    Thought I'd show them fitted on the CRX! A match made in Heaven. Ordered some center caps for them today.
