The Downside of Owning a 90's Project Car 

Boy I know that feeling where everything you do ends up becoming more of a project lol. Also uh oh sounds like rod knock

Mike looks like work-tegra needs some more work done to it, keep it up, even when you aren't filming the 240 there is always something to keep you occupied

The stock header is pretty awesome. I love projects like this. Metal is such a fun material to just play around with.

I highly recommend aerokroil penetrant for our rusty Midwest cars. Stuff works wonders. Also when you’re taking bolts off loosen and then tighten again, treat it like you’re tapping threads. Far less likely to snap bolt heads off!

Your optimism is so impressive anytime something goes wrong during my project I feel impending doom

I feel You - my EK Civic is kinda like this too. Also, I didn't know that You can clear the check engine light by doing a fat burnout. Might try this in the future.

This vid is literally the perfect example of working on a 90s car you go to replace one thing and 5 other things end up breaking in the process 😂

Your positivity is absolutely contagious!!

Just a tip for check engine lights, dont disconnect the battery. It resets all of the monitors making it to where you cant get inspected until they are set (evap, o2, o2 heater, misfire, and a couple others). Instead just drive the car around for 30 miles or so and the check engine light should clear itself, along with the pending codes. Evap monitors can take several days to set so thats why inspection tells you to drive the car for multiple days after you disconnect the battery. Also you should invest in a small scanner, theres a small autel one on amazon that does i/m monitors for like 30$

Morning man! Your videos are very informative and entertaining to watch. It's been amazing watching you fix your s13!!

i love those springs at header bolts/. this is why mine brakes the bolts all time ? gonna give it a try and make same patern!!! or else a spiral for taking the movements of the motor and saves the bolts

homies channel deserves so much more than where hes at!

Can we admired how that jackstand can go soo high that it almost flipped his Integra over

i just noticed your strut brace on integra is exactly the same ive got in my civic

What a way to hit 300k hahaha. Love this channel

ITS TIIIMMMEEE Edit: Aint gonna lie, IMPRESSIVE doing a burnout then going to smog test to break 300k miles, thats wild. I worry my miata at 60k miles is on its last legs XD XD

You should get yourself an induction heater for them nasty bolts. Love the work!

Your videos are super inspiring and motivating 🤘🤘

in my 02 miata, the obd2 port is right above the interior fuse box, and took me like 20 minutes to find the first time I had codes.

Can't wait to see you do the full restore in the future of tge work Integra, would be cool if you did forged internals

Always learning of you keep it up

French cara usually have the obd under the ash tray in the middle. Or under the radio where you can pop a plastic piece. Or on some opels the obd is under the handbrake lever

Really good video as always! I love integra content :DDD I gues theres swap on the way 👀

I love these videos! Cant wait to see the 240sx

love the dedication

I have a old Acura Legend (If I remember correctly) that comes in at work, The OBD2 plug is behind the ash tray and its so warn out from being removed so much over the last 30 years lol

Not to laugh but... this is like deja vu of anytime I try to pull anything I haven't touched before off my S13! I have snapped sooo many bolts off that thing... doesn't matter how much I soak them in pb blaster or how gently I try to coax them out... they generally snap off anyway... Rust has become my arch nemesis. Now the dipstick tube coming off... that was funny! Shout out to Stratford Square Mall!

Dude that's the best way to send her into 300,000 that's awesome. Remember there forever projects always changing!

Fun Fact: German law requirres the OBD II port to be within 50cm of the steering collumn. :D My 84 E28 with a 24v swap has it in the glovebox, cause I converteted it and it doesn´t need it per law :D Keep up the grind!

Wheels aren't meant to handle loads in that direction

I know that feel so well... Each time I have to work on a "quick" repair it become an endless work 🤣 The pleasure of old cars 😅 Hold On Mine and keep sharing you work with us ! 💪

i feel you 100% lmao. thats how it goes most of the time. still love the hobby!

the obd2 is in the same spot in my 5th gen prelude it’s an 01 and it does the same alarm beeps with the key in when you open the doors which is funny these Honda’s are share so many things

Oh no i think that’s rodney knocking 😬 great vid as always bro!!

The burnout to 300,000 was rad lol 👍😂

Love the positivity

The 300k welcome was sick

i just replaced the o2 sensors on my car the other day, what a coincidence! for me it was surprisingly simple so i feel bad that you ended up running into so many issues doing it lol.

it's always the easy jobs that turn into the worst jobs, I almost had a huge job putting a new valve cover on my Mustang (some idiot before I got it overtorqued one of the ignition coil bolts, which cracked the mount it screwed into) they had overtorqued every single bolt on that valve cover, one snapped off in the head, thankfully the new valve cover was for a newer model year, my car is a 2006, Ford revised the valve cover in 2008 to use less bolts, but it works on older ones too, thankfully the bolt that snapped was one of the ones that didn't exist on the new valve cover, so if you look at my engine close enough you can still see what's left of the bolt stuck in the head because if there's no point to drill it out I'm not drilling it out

That's a type r header seeing how it has different mounting points for the heat shield.

A real dude, hard working guy.🤘

PB Blaster is your friend buy the huge jug lol! Wrenching in the rust areas I never go without it!

where i live only newer cars fron 2000 and onword are needed to be equiped whit catalitic converter and older ones (1920-1990)dont need to have catalitic converter

in the few years after 96 there was no regulation on where the obd2 port needed to be, but eventually it became standard to put it in the driver footwell

My 90 integra just blew up on the move to Colorado I feel for you

It has probably hit the three hundred thousand mile inbuilt self destruct mode after that thrashing lol

you can buy cheap peace of electronics which is connected to your phone by bluetooth. Works very well for my 00' is200

Man no heat on those header bolts? You living dangerously lol glad it worked out though

lol it was like watching an snl skit. things keeping breaking one after another lol

Literally was doing the O2 sensor on mine too

What’s happening dude?how are you and fran doing? Best wishes to you and yours from lreland

I don’t know how close you’re to aurora but if you ever needa borrow any tool or need an extra hand lmk i got a lot of tool and two hands

Man this video is a vibe lol! I know this all to well. haha

If you ever need an O2 sensor bung in a pinch, an 18mm sparkplug nonfouler will work once you trim it down.

This feels exactly like working on my old VW, fix something, notice something else, a small 1 hour project becomes a 3 day project :D

Mike you’re the Man!!

You are a badass taking those header bolts out with no lube 👍

Maybe u could buy a vw caddy or something like this that just work and u could transport parts in it

dope, i love integras (specialy your 2 :D)

You should have used some breakaway or something on those bolts, even WD40 or CRC before you took them off, it might have helped but they were probably toast anyway

That burnout did the job!!! . . JK , it sucks but it was time.. Since it was an oil junkie it was due fkr a refresh.. Too bad it couldnt last for a bit!

Bro them bolts on exhaust u gotta heat up with torch little bit same with ur oxygen sensor little heat is ur friend with thos rusty bolts

This is the car version of the Malcolm in the Middle intro, when his dad is trying to fix the lightbulb in the kitchen lol

Damn Mike I was not expecting those exhaust manifold bolts to come out 😅Every 5 min job......

Can’t wait to see it drift ❤

Well, looks like welcoming the 300,000 miles with a fat burn out probably killed the rod bearings

13:38 nice belt😂

Turbo Integra after the 240 is fixed?

Salut mike au top la video comme toujours gros big up a toi depuis la France 🇫🇷 et a la prochaine vidéo 👍 👌 💪 😎

Mike bro next time put a hose clamp on a socket that slit slightly stretches hose clamp prevent it quite well

Fun fact recently they made a law that the OBD2 port has to be within 6 inches of either side of the steering wheel

yo that header is kinda rare now days lol

This is the most relateable video ever, all the things that go wrong lol

My 5g prelude didnt have obd so I had to bridge two pins with a paperclip and count the flashes on the dash :/

That why i live in Florida check light always on 🙃

You literally hurt me by rubbing those R33 Stockies on the ground, but at least it's not the side you see I guess. Keep up the great work, you're a inspiration, can't wait to have my Z32 back from welding to start on it.

Unpluging the battery and plugging it back if is just like turning it off and on again 😂

glad nothing went very wrong in the intergra

Could have told you it would cut back on Edit: should have just got the header too exhaust bolts normally snap

that burnout was all she wrote RIP

Wow an Integra with a different engine, manual swapped. Honda Integra front, and a rebuilt trunk passed emission. Not to mention the 300k miles and no airbag lmao.

Erase the code, & drive it until you have 2 monitors not ready then go pass it 1996-2000 vehicles can pass with 2 monitors not ready, 2001 and newer 1 monitor not ready been doing this with my teggy for years I have my own scan tool & used to work at Bedford park emissions 😆

I think it was low on oil and the burn out sent it home

Mike the struggle is real

Haha I know how that feels 😅😂 (I have a 1997 Nissan micra)

Brah. Me everytime i do something. I always break it before i fix it. Fucked up.

Use some penetrating oil on the 30yr old car for the stubborn bolts. lol

The moment when a 5 minute job turns into a 8 hour job and you are just sitting there and questioning the meaning of life

Integra decided to tell you a knock knock joke.😁

NOOO, not the work integra! And right after hitting 300k.

My wifes 01 camery obd is under the hood on passenger side.,.. took me forver to find it

The downside of the 90s car is also the fun part.. That is you can work on your own car.... Unlike 2020 cars.... One broke down and you will be considering scrapping it because of the cost😑😑

Okay I can't take it anymore I have to turn you guys on to the HOLY GRAIL of LUBE to take off the rusty bolts try using PB Blaster baby your welcome use on everything to easily brake loss anything.

seconadary sensor senses good quality of air .. emission almost free car. lol

OBDII is on right since Asian cars are RHD overseas,

I have a real healthy 94 Infiniti j30. Awesome project car if you like puzzles I guess

You have a lot of patience....

This is IMPOSSIBLE! the worktegra?! Broken?! Nu uh! Click bait? (Sadly no) 😅

Job weld done

300000 miles? 483000 Kilometers? wow..
