Sometimesido's daily project

Ok, so making a thread to kind of keep track of what I worked on/plan to work on my daily wagon.

    Speaking of master cylinders, I had the previous owner raise the car up before I picked it up and I may lower it a little tomorrow...but.

    I think this is just way too low for daily driving.
    Also the bottom of the muffler is 80% gone. I don't know if this is from rust or bottoming out...

    haha, yea. That's the one he didn't want to sell me after he started driving it. He'll make an account here some time.
    That would be awesome!

    So, here's the stock 13/16 master cylinder.
    245.jpg

    and, here's the 89 Accord LX-i 15/16 master cylinder. Notice the angle of the opening where the hard line goes.
    246.jpg

    Nobody told me about that! :D The hard line just needed some "love" to make it fit.

    Another junkyard score. $3! Little cleaning, color match, and will put it on soon.

    Test fit for things to come later :wink:

    Nice!!!
  • sometimesidosometimesido New Wagonist
    Thanks for the kind words.
    Master Cylinder from junkyard was bad... Good thing I spent a dollar extra for warranty.

    I just bit the bullet and bought a new one from Autozone. What a difference!
    Also bought a 5 panel wink mirror because I couldn't wait any longer for passenger side mirror.

    All I need is a muffler, emissions, and tag time!

    Welcome! Nice to add another GA wagon to the bunch! You're wheels look just like mine! lol
  • sometimesidosometimesido New Wagonist
    Wheeeee!
    Got an awesome deal on them from my roommate...(ex BMW mechanic)
    Still needs lots of work on them, like rusted bolts and clearcoat peeling.
    I might just put tires on and ride around for now...bleh.
  • sometimesidosometimesido New Wagonist
    new horn, got a muffler put on, passed emissions by 2 points, got a GA tag!
    *space reserved for update*
  • Looks like Ga gonna have another choice looking wagon .
  • sometimesidosometimesido New Wagonist
    1. got new dome light sensors on the doors so all of them sets off the dome light.
    2. picked up a manual pedal cluster
    3. was missing a hose that goes from valve cover to intake, picked one up.
    4. changed air filter
    5. picked up a set of speaker pods from Passport and put them on, Loud!
    6. made a list of stuff I need to work on.
    7. got the other two BBS' from my buddy.

    1. wasted a can of paint stripper on the BBS hubcaps and still didn't get all the clearcoat off. My roomate
    suggested $1 oven cleaner from Big Lots. going to try it sometime.
    2. realized refinishing the BBS' are going to cost me more than what I want to spend...
    3. O2 sensor wiring broke! just bought a new o2 sensor and replaced it.
    4. connected a hose that goes from valve cover to intake hose. (it was missing)
    5. front speakers were literally shredded so replaced it with some cheap 6.5's
    6. ground wire from battery to transmission looks very corroded, going to replace it soon.

    7. it's throwing a CODE!!! It blinks 3 and then 16. and repeats. Someone help me out here?
  • sometimesidosometimesido New Wagonist
    eww...
