I just failed my 97 today, I got the same advice: just drive it for 50-100 miles or bring it back next week. What the hell... This is ridiculously useful info, thanks buddy, wish me luck!

Just got my unit back from Brian and now my CCU/all HVAC works better than new! Follow the removal instructions on Brian's website which are very detailed (have Nylon pry bars for your panels and feeler gauges handy if you don't want to damage anything), then ship the board over to him. Took 7...

Thanks guys. JW, no I didn't spray into any specific hoses connected to the TB, just the main opening with the butterfly. Since its Saturday tomorrow, I'll do it all over again more thoroughly and see where else I can spray. It's a bone stock engine. When warmed up, my idle rpm is roughly ~600.

Thanks JW, I actually removed the air cleaner box, filter and accordion hose this morning before work. I liberally sprayed Intake Cleaner inside, let it sit for a few minutes, wiped down the TB internals with the butterfly open. Then I started the car and with a broom stick (LOL, wife was still...

Hi guys, I'm reviving this older thread sorry. I've recently had the same issue when engine dies every now and then while cruising, and also the "bouncing" tach to zero when the X is at speed then I depress the clutch to shift gears. Just yesterday, it got a little more "real" because the CEL...

Good luck buddy! This car is really costing you your blood, sweat and tears, but it'll be WORTH IT. I'm glad you at least got to drive it around; I'm sure that added fuel to your fire for sure.

Thanks for this awesome DIY tip guys, I did this last week. Used the FRAM and it only took literally 5 minutes to install. I don't mind the extra fins as the rest of it fits nice and snug. Fan seems ever-so-slightly weaker but nothing that will bug you; all HVAC works like it's supposed to. Yay...

+1 for a bluetooth adapter. Got mine from eBay for 20 bucks, here's an example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-v1-5-Bluetooth-Super-Mini-Small-OBD2-Scanner-Adapter-Tool-TORQUE-ANDROID-/170847315772?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item27c74b273c&vxp=mtr Spent a few bucks more on the Torque app...

That's crazy. I thought I kept my car neat, that GSR is just ridiculous clean.

Yes sir, I come in to work late and leave late, so I have plenty of semi-empty streets to zoom around in. VTEC and redline everyday keeps the blues away. If that B17 of yours came with the car, congrats on still owning a running example of one of Honda's rarest motors. I started with a GS...

Wow, warm welcome, thanks a million everyone. docjohn, Thank you sir, my Integra taught me everything about those relays. I was left stranded once because of a faulty one; I might as well avoid that in the X. jcbadcura, v-tecpwr Thanks gents, to keep me happy on those days I decide to...

Hi everyone, I'm just dropping by to introduce myself in my first post ever... awesome, I can stop lurking. I've been a proud owner of a new-to-me 97 Formula Red on black T for a little over a month now. Picked mine out from a seller here on Prime who was local in the SF Bay Area; I live and...
