If cars came in a box labeled “good car” you would find a Civic or a Corolla inside. “Nicer good car” boxes would contain an Accord or Camry. Speaking of bad good cars, The Aztec is looking pretty good in the background.
cracked catifold is common on the 01-05 dx/lx civics, the exhaust system is different between dx/lx and ex, and accounts for most of the power increase as the vtec is low rpm high swirl fuel economy style on the 1.7
The only thing that rusts faster than a Honda, is a Honda exhaust. I've replaced the manifold/cat and entire exhaust system a few times on 90's Civics.
My favorite flips . Good for you JR . The Shop is really looking awesome. Return on Investment continues. Multiple Revenue Streams is extremely important going forward In this economy. Even that wall of TV could bring you in Revenue when filming. Sponsors Logos etc . Tournaments etc ( getting dudes out of the house lol ) best wishes buddy.
Me and my brother replaced almost the entire cooling system on my sister's 96' Accord. We got it back together, and it ran like crap, but we bled the system and it ran fine after. But then the A/C system wasn't cooling, sure enough it was a little connector/coupler that had slipped out of the radiator cooling fan wiring harness. Honda's are nothing if not quirky lol

My uncle has same car and on summer he was checking to buy new header but dealer and online was too expensive. We live in California so he end up taking his header to metal shop to get it welded back and they did like upgrade weld. But Honda wanted to charge him 400-500 dollars
@@codya8684 yeah same here. There’s very little I’ll take my vehicle to a shop for. I drive a Chevy Cruze and the intake manifold went bad, as is common with them. Took it to the dealer under warranty, bill was $1,400 (paid by warranty). Years later it went again, and I decided to do it myself. Took me literally an hour and a half, AND I installed the aftermarket fix so it won’t go bad again. Cost me less than $200 total. Shops are more often than not, a total ripoff
If it hadn't already sold, I was going to recommend a engine bay cleaning on the Honda. Obviously, it really didn't matter, since it sold instantly. Nice work - and super cheap!
@@chipb1193 I fixed my first Honda with the middle section of a can of Arizona iced tea. I doubt that it lasted very long. I am positive the intake is supposed to flex.
Yep they're great. We did a timing belt and water pump on a 94 Corolla in about 45 minutes. Front brake pads and rotors cost like $80 and both sides can be done in about 45 minutes too.
.Cheap if you can do it yourself. If that car had gone to a dealer or mechanic. 2 grand easy because they would have made up what was wrong with it and all the parts it would need.
@@noventay4 Whose "we" and where did the OP, whom I was replying to, mention Civics specifically? I was replying to the OP who talked about mass market cars and if I check the sales figures the Corolla falls into it. He was simply stating that "mass market" cars are easy to work on and can be rehabbed for cheap. I was merely backing that up by mentioning a real life scenario. If he talked about Civics then the conversation would be about Civics but if you read that then you'd know. You didn't. If you're an ESL then sorry but reading isn't hard.
How about telling us what you sold the car for? I don't know why people have such an issue with saying how much they made on a flip car. It's called being transparent. You told us how much you spent. I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses the old content. You've lost sight of who you were and just putting yourself into more and more debt.
@@WatchJRGo you shouldn't care what "Karens" think. It's being transparent with your loyal viewers...I've been watching you for a very long time, and you're not the same as in your old videos man. You were so humble back then like way before you got your R8. You're still a good person but just not who you used to be.
Prodemand says the torque for those nuts is 31Nm or 23ft-lbs. A lot of forums are pretty good with info but I've never had good luck with the Honda forums specifically.
john, the daily grind can thin out content options... flips are great, the abandoned rescues are ok... but i'm gonna ask every video from now on... WHERE ARE YOU WITH THE ROLLS, THE CAMARO REBODY AND AUDI?
That's a cop out. ACs don't need to be charged. If they're low on refrigerant, it's because there's a leak. I got a leak once. I had a rock hit my condenser at highway speeds and I felt my AC go out shortly after (same car). AC condenser was only like $40 on ebay and I think it's been like 10 years or something I've had it. At the same time, you'd probably want to change the O-rings on the fittings. I actually paid the $4-5 for the Honda OEM o-rings cuz the crappy green ones at the auto parts store tore so easily. I thought I was gonna have to change my compressor recently because my AC would work like 50% of the time. But it turned out my condenser was just dirty or something. Cuz I haven't had a problem after I sprayed it off with a hose. Lastly, I've heard about AC compressor clutches going bad on this car after so many years. You don't actually have to replace the compressor. Apparently there's this metal plate on the clutch that gets worn down, and a lot of people just remove that plate or something and it works fine after. That way you don't need to spend $200 on a new compressor plus recharging. Yes, I'm talking about this specific car, not about cars in general. I know this car very well. Mine has 297k miles, so I've had most of the problems you're going to run into at this point. knock on wood*** Oh yeah. There's a connector for the AC compressor that's like snapped onto the AC compressor fan. Mine would get loose all the time, so I taped it together, but it does get loose sometimes if you're working under the hood and accidentally hit it. I think eventually I just took the connector off altogether and just taped the wire where it needed to be. Edit: Oh it was a wire. Not the one I was talking about, but one of the wires. If you're flipping a car, and it needs to be recharged you've got the know how to fix it right. So don't do that. Just saying.
2012 Honda Civic LX 1.8 l does anybody have any knowledge on that particulate engine? I'm getting a low Purge evap and also a PO420 code wondering if it's a false code for the cat being bad because the are take manifold gasket or the valve gasket for the valve cover gasket are bad? I've already replaced a PCV valve, both oxygen sensors and the are intake hose that was cracked in the front and back. I'm getting a slight puffing sound from the back of the engine so I don't know if that's the manifold gasket? Heard this can throw a false PO420 code
Why are the aftermarket cats cheaper than the scrap value of the older ones? I assume there is far less of the valuable metals but it works more efficiently..
I picked up a 2004 toyota matrix XR that was 6 speed swapped an had a spun rod bearing an it threw a rod driving it home but i was going fast enough to coast home so i got an engine for 375 the car was 400 an 400 to put it in for a total of 1,175 did i save anything over buying a running car the guy told me the book value was over 3 grand
Reminds me of the night I bought my 94 accord was missing the exhaust manifold only way I had to get it home was to drive it. Everytime I shifted in to another gear lots of pops and angry people lol.
If I could work on the Honda Civic with Watch JR Goes and Joshs I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up
It's more than likely cracked like everyone says. I had a 82 Celica beater I got super cheap that sounded about that bad. Turned out to have a loose and mostly stripped exhaust manifold bolt. I found something that worked and then it was quiet except for the bad muffler to go with it. A bolt I had in stock and a cheap turbo muffler and it was quiet again. I had already picked up a cheap good manifold for it so when I got tired of dealing with all the other issues a 300k body and drive train has the buyer got a lot of spare parts.

“Sounds like someone farted in a bowl of pudding…” LOL!!!
And that's how it sounded too. 😆
Something's wrong with the sound of that engine, even after the exhaust gasket replacement. Lifters? Poor oil circulation? One of the pullies?
Stretched timing belt plus valves out of adjustment 🎉
