Honda Brakes... - Kaan - 01-18-2005

how many other 13 y/o cars do you see on the road?
- .RJ - 01-18-2005
nope
- Kaan - 01-18-2005
there was supposed to be ALOT of sarcasim in there... The car has been great other than what i do to it... brakes, tires, and thermostat in 2.5 years... not bad... i did blow up a perfectly good motor... but this motor is running even better.
I just wish i wasnt having it all at once while i'm sick.

Dumbass, I was making fun of evan's busted ass chitbox.
- Kaan - 01-18-2005
Ok the top tube from the radiator is hot and you can hear it boil lol... no heat... and the in car temp went very close to hot... and that was at 5am when it was 15 degrees outside... its only 5 min to my buddies house so i made it there and parked it... i'm assuming thermostat... anyone?
- Kaan - 01-18-2005
any my car is 15 years old :-P yours might be 13 :-P
- .RJ - 01-18-2005
Check the lower rad hose - make sure that is hot, that is where the t-tsat is. I'd replace that, and the rad cap, and flush the system out w/ honda coolant (premixed, add no water).
- Kaan - 01-18-2005
the rad cap? can you hook me with that deal on the m00gen shit :lol: ... i'll see what i can do... i'm replacing the 02 again... i'm going to get used to this working out in the cold thing again.
- .RJ - 01-18-2005
why are you replacing the o2 again? If they are going bad like this you have some other problem.
Just get OEM t-stat and rad cap from the dealer.
- Kaan - 01-18-2005
what i should have said is i killed another one! cause i didnt replace the one that blew up in the only motor... but that one went bad and now this one went bad, but then again it was off the new motor and that had been sitting a while.

In my experience, the generic brand track auto type oxygen sensor suck and will not last. The one I got from them lasted a few months. I monitor my o2 sensor voltage with my techtom, so I know when its dead. I only use bosche now, which is what the OEM nissan ones are. Autozone sells these for a much better price then the dealership, around 60 bucks for my application. Running extremely rich for extended periods of time, or leaded gas can kill an oxygen sensor pretty quick. So yeah, be careful about buying crap parts.
- Kaan - 01-18-2005
Well we got the O2 and the Termostat done before night fall.... not bad when you get home at 5pm from traffic.... brakes on the weekend i guess.
