What did you do to your Gen7 today?

I figured as much, but it looked different,  so I thought I would give it a shot

You could always move the battery to the trunk. Depending on how much you really wanted to use that intake.

Custom intake and get the aluminum sections hydro dip to match the rest of the engine bay

Had to replace the pads on the rear of the RDX. Also, drained the some of the brake fluid while i was changing the pads and cleaned out the reservoir and strainer a little.

Took the car for an oil change and a checkup. Have to replace my oil pan soon

Tore down my gears and found some damage on the synchro hubs and synchros.




5/6 synchro hub



3/4 synchro hub


One of my chewed up synchros

You call that "some" damage? I'd call that fucked but mostly because I like using "colorful" language.

Damnnnn. Too much torque?

[timot_one]

Too much torque in a heavy car with traction.

I'll get it all lined out soon enough.

[ikethegreat]

Glad to see this setback hasn't deterred you.

I have plenty of spare transmission parts at this point. All I really needed was to buy two new single cone synchros. I'm ditching the Gearspeed synchros and going back to OEM.

Street tuning the turbo accord :p getting around 9.5 psi after boost creep. It was only suppose to see 6 or 7 psi but shit happened. So I am just rolling with it.

Yesterday I cleaned and reassembled the countershaft, then cleaned off all the mainshaft components. Just waiting on some synchros to arrive and then I can get it all back together.




Today I got my fuel cooler mounted and ran the lines. I have to wait until I get my motor back in to test for leaks with the new fuel lines.

You call that "some" damage? I'd call that fucked but mostly because I like using "colorful" language.

Yeah, that's just "some damage". This is what "fucked" looks like.

[CrackerTeg]

Fair point.

[Rich01]

Did some investigating before last weekend after my fuel line started leaking again. I found that during a cold start the pressure was around 60psi tho it was set at 50psi and this was when it would leak until the car gets up to temp and the pressure would drop. It's in the AN -6 hose to female 90* fitting. Now I'm leaning towards going back to my stock fuel setup being that I'm only running 50% duty cycle on the 410cc injectors. Or should I just replace the fitting and give it another shot?

What you think Tim?

Edit: Paul's going to make a new line and ship it out to me so I can send him back this one for him to see what failed.

[timot_one]

Fittings can fail time to time. I had a brand new Earl's fitting start leaking on me. If you have a vice, you can always get the clamps and make your own hoses. Best investment I've ever made, considering how much AN line I have running through the Accord now.
