So I bought a honda to fill in the hole in my soul left by an Echo, a ditch, a tree and a whole lot of understeer. It doesn't work yet, but I'm getting there.
CURRENTLY DONE, YET I FORGOT TO TAKE PHOTOS: >Battery The old one was kill, so I blew $110 on a new one, it starts under its own power now to make this easier. Had it half hooked up backwards, read the manual and then did it right.
As of now, I'm aware there's a vacuum leak somewhere, just tore out the first airbox, pretty easy as all but one nut was sheared.
>CAUTION: this thread will contain potato-quality photos, you have been warned

Ok, the car still starts as normal as it does as of now, so the vacuum leak is somewhere between the engine and the filter box.
There's some hose jammed in there, is that important?

What the fuck
Nathaniel Lee
There's fucking peanuts falling out of the filter box
Leo Sanders

Luke Flores
Fucking squirrel living in the filter box... The nuts are rusted to rivets, I'll visit the scrapyard tomorrow to get a new one. For tonight, I've done all I can. Continuing this tomorrow.
Christian Rogers
>just bought a Honda May your wallet and free time RIP friendo
Sebastian Barnes
I avoided buying a golf for that exact reason... Might as well make the ride as comfy as possible at this point.
Isaiah Sanders
What gen/motor did ya get? Use to have an 03-d16 civic that would blow it's ECU every other week(even after re-wiring..) got sick of being stuck in limpmode so I took it into the bush lit it on fire and bought a 16eco kek.
Colton Hall
It's a 7th gen with a D17A, Wikipedia says. While PearlWhiteLS400's VIN check said it has 1.3 mil kilometres, odometer only shows 301 thousand, and all with only a tiny oil leak to show.

First of all take off the entire plastic intake manifold and clean it to make sure there's no shit inside of it, also check if there's no cracks in it that could cause the vacuum leak. After that change the filters and fluids, check valve clearance, belts and you're set. I have a 2004 with a d17a1 (non vtec sladly) and that thing is absolutely bulletproof.
Hunter Garcia
VTEC is overrated, anyways.
The fluids for the most part are good, the only things that need attention are the oil, timing belt and accessory belt. I'm not even gonna try checking the filter box, I pulled a handful of peanuts out of it, and it's still packed with dry berries. Bolts on it are rusted solid, too, so I'm just gonna take it off and replace it.

Should have got another toyota so that you can spin out and roll down a cliff just by changing lanes at 30mph
Justin Taylor
I'd like to try getting another echo, so I can put it off the road at 180kmh this time, and hope it kills me this time.
Robert Anderson
Whoops, accidentally had a little chemotherapy session there, tumour's back.
Zachary Sanchez
Kek what did you do to your echo? How fast
Julian James
>falling for the $3k civic meme Good job
Oliver Ramirez
80kmh, under steered off a hairpin at 9:00 at night.
Don't ask, it's very clearly fucking stupid in retrospect.
100 feet into the woody marsh, 10-15 foot ditch in either side, and took down a tree as it rolled. I don't have pictures now, but I can get them tomorrow. Only injury between me and passenger was a cut on my hand. >$3k civic meme Pfft. Come back when you score a baby like this for six hundred Kanadian shekels.
Wyatt Bailey
>600cad So like 3k usd. Nice quads btw
Benjamin Clark
Holy shit, didn't notice the quads. Does that mean I'm a real tripfaggot now?
Owen Allen
Only if you post gore pics of the echo.
Parker Cruz
I'll have them first thing tomorrow, just for you user
Anthony Ramirez
Heres my you Made me lmao lol
Whenever i get a car I go with Fuel filter, oil, plugs and electron lube, air filter if it needs it With yours id do a quick squish of the brake juice and get out all of that old shit so you can stop your japenese wheel wagon
Owen Sullivan
Yeah, brakes should be bled soon.
Jayden Morales

Noah Gutierrez
Trailer parks? I haven't seen one of those in a while. Are you sure you aren't thinking of those fucks in Newfoundland?
Christian Myers
Trailer Park Boys is filmed near Halifax.
Owen Lee
Oh, trailer park boys, almost forgot about that... I've never met, or heard about anything happening even remotely similar to that show. I HAVE, however, met Bubbles twice.
Owen Davis
i think i have seen your car before
Nicholas Kelly
Really? Where?
Jacob Moore
does it start?
Lucas Davis
Yup, it idles real funny though. If you think you've seen it driving, it's not me, mine isn't inspected, insured or registered.
Isaiah Edwards

Jonathan Gutierrez
Photos are en-route, stay tunes for car gore
Ian Fisher
Looking at these again makes me kinda sad...
This one captures the carnage best.
Angel Clark

Xavier Green
Indeed... I learned stick on it, RIP fat tercel.
Anthony Thompson
Sucks man but holy shit that could've easily kind you both
Jaxon Myers
Yeah, I know that, I'm thankful to be here, still kinda sour, but I'm excited to finally move on.
Zachary Jones
Couldn't make any progress with the Civic today, the inconsiderate people at the junkyard closed early, no filter box for now.
