| | | Ok, so I spent the day going over it pretty good. Seems like the only rust is surface, which you see in the pics and a little under the passenger seat floor. Not bad really, but I'm kinda anal so I may try to replace that piece. Gonna need some damned seats. My dear lord, I seem to remember Hondas having good seats, but these suck soooo bad. And what the hell is up with the truck throws on the trans. Like I'm driving a Kenworth lol. Otherwise, I drove it pretty hard today. I filled it up last night from a little over half after dumping in a thing of fuel system cleaner. I think tho, I will need to replace the gas filters since it bogs a little over 4000 RPM, but you never see that anyway since the spacing between ratios is frugen ridiculous. 1st gear maxes out around 30 and second around 70! WTF Honda lol. But other than that, the engine seems to pull rather strong. The tires are tiny but full of tread so they shall stay for a bit. The wheels are unlike any I have seen. And the rear drums are aluminum? I don't get it. But meh, guess its a Honda thing. Oh, and after going through it a little more, not only does the AC come on, it gets cold. FTW!

| | | yeah, dude! aluminum drums! honda didnt go back to that until the insight. the shifter is no big deal to reduce throw, though. if you're handy with a welder, you can just lengthen the section of the shifter between the ball and the linkage joint. doesnt take much, though. remember, shortening the handle doesnt reduce throw at all, just reduces leverage! try not to run too much injector cleaner, though, that shit dries up seals and ruins pumps. best thing is to change the fuel filter and run high test gas. also, it wouldnt help to smoke test the intake system and look for vacuum leaks. there's a lot of vacuum connections in there, and they can cause all sorts of run issues. now, when i say smoke test... we have, at work, this smoke machine. it produces the same 'smoke' as those machines found in nightclubs and whatnot. bascially, it pumps this smoke out of a hose and has several attachments depending on the application... the easiest is to cap off the air filter inlet and hook the machine's hose to a vacuum fitting. it will fill the system will very light pressure and if you see smoke escaping from somewhere, then you have a leak. this machine is worth it's weight in gold! got an oil leak? pump the smoke into the oil cap and see where it's coming from. exhaust leak? cram it up your tail pipe! the machine's not cheap, so call around to some local shops and see if they have one. this test is WELL worth it!

| I've seen those used to find leaks in the seals around the doors, windshield, and rear window. Very cool.
