    haha it's only 2 screws dude then two pictures.

    do this, clean them throughly and i'll buy them around may 3rd

    how will i need to pay for them so i can figure out whether or not to get one of those prepaid credit cards or w/e so i can put money on my pay pal. (i think you can do that) or i can pay via western unions money gram thing or money order. if i pay via either of those you can wait til you get the money to ship

    yeah man do whats best for you, im in no hurry at all.

    btw, the ends on these injectors are TINY no wonder they can clog over time from old gas, etc. :? :shock:

    these are pretty damn though, haha and they are magnetized :lol:

    yeah, it will take a little nudging to pop them out. i used pliers to grip and pull them out. start with that and check to see if the ends are clogged.

    i really dont know what to use to clean them. tiny particles get inside a clog. also old gas becomes like jelly. idk...

    Get an impact screw driver, with a couple of whacks it will budge like kids go to school! :wink:

    what about a drill?

    if you absoletly have to, use a drill. its not really that important to have those clip thingies there. the injectors pretty much get jammed in good.

    :cry:

    i really don't want to man, but the longer i wait the less it looks like i'm going to get that parts car, if i get the parts car, i'm keeping my wagon.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    dont give up yet dude... parts are harder to find for wagons, but thats just something you have to learn to except when you get one of these. engine-wise and suspension, chasses etc. is the same as the Hatchback or sedan, etc...

    see but what i need is body parts haha, if my body was fine, i'd be more then happy with replacing anything else, ya know?

    i went to the peoples house with the parts car, they said it isn't there car, it's the pervious owner of the houses car. isn't if something is left behind it's automatically the new owners?

    and they said they called the sister of the pervious owner and are awaiting them to call back. the people are mexican..... and barely speak english so it's hard to explain or negotiate.

    yeah i know.. post a wanted ad for fenders. stuff will show up. trust me.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    i'm trying to get the car sorted out BEFORE july 11th because i'm going to the beach and i'm not trying to go in a rust bucket that isn't realible. haha, ya know?

    i love my car and everything, it's just so aggrivating how one minute it's fine then its not.

    it wouldn't crank, now all of a sudden it does but is still throwing the same code as before :evil: so aggrivating, haha.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    eh, cars.. you gotta love em. hahaha.

    your car didnt look rusty to me..?
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    only rust is on that one fender. i was just exagerrating. i want to have it in paint by july is what i meant and i can't without the new body parts.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    im sure you can find a fender before july, hahaha...

    im the one with a rust bucket. so DONT EVEN start complain about rust, gosh :lol:
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    haha smartass! your wagons gorgeous! i haven't seen a spec of rust on it.

    and as far as the fender goes, ive checked 11 junk yards including pull a part are there any fenders i can cut to fit?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    just check out my rear quarters and my doors... plenty of rust.

    no, wagon fenders are wagon specific... brand new from Honda is like $160.. but i wouldnt do that unless there was no other hope.

    like i said, post a wanted ad in the parts section ;)
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    i will when im sure ill have the extra cash on hand. im holding 500 for the parts car hopefully they go lower, around 300 i hope.

    having it painted 650$ 20% tint all around probably 180 - 200$

    then taking her to a shop and having her tuned. idk how much that'll cost, any idea?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    dont pay more then $300 for the parts car.

    a shop charges around $80-100 an hour.. idk how long a tune takes. what exactly do you mean by tune? just new spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter...etc?

    yeah, i could most likely do it myself, do you think so?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    ch'yeah! you BETTER not pay people to do something so simple. haha... seriously.

    all of that should take like 30 minutes to do. if not less.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    list everything id need to do. that'd help me along, a lot. if it's not too much, i'll do it myself next week.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    umm... well, i guess:

    -spark plus
    -spark plus wires
    -distributor cap
    -distributor rotor
    -fuel filter
    -air filter


    i cant think of anything else. haha...
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    air filter was just replaced and so were the plugs,

    im replacing the fuel filter and cap and rotor anyways. might as well replace the wires.

    oil filter d00d.


    and where is my fuel filter?
