The Downside of Owning a 90's Project Car

Here in Illinois, emission tests are required annually or bi annually depending on the year of the car. If the car has a check engine light, it will most likely fail. So I needed to fix my 90's project car in order to pass emissions, but a small task turned into an entire video haha

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

The downward spiral of a 10 minute repair hahaha

[@badaboom8520]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Most definitely!

[@mitchsterling3266]

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

[@alx9950]

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

[@NuclearPineapple]

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!

[@TheJoyriderDub]

pb blaster too, anything really lol need some lub my boi

[@lostboys7816]

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 😂

[@PrizzaMike]

It happens haha 😅

[@infiniterift]

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.

[@PrizzaMike]

Worked great, highly recommend 😅

[@runescapefan0001]

All the obd2 scanners I've used have an option to clear the codes. No need to disconnect the battery

[@AwakenedR6]

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$

[@officerxdoofy4882]

There's actually a drive cycle for the Integra ... From Cali did a b20v in my DC2 when smog came around I put the stock ECU and it was something like 45mph for 2 to 3 miles .. passed with flying colors

[@sleeperworksgarage]

Your positivity is absolutely contagious!!

[@TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

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

[@xperia5295]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

TIME for some maintenance 😅

[@gamingwiththepros2057]

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

[@Silvergoatdc4]

homies channel deserves so much more than where hes at!

[@Sebbaru251]

Wheels aren't meant to handle loads in that direction

[@gazzer883]

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

[@panospapadimitriou3498]

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

[@ahrenshreeve4898]

Your videos are super inspiring and motivating 🤘🤘

[@jasonpetrich4141]

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

[@paulthomas4583]

The burnout to 300,000 was rad lol 👍😂

[@PrizzaMike]

😅

[@Honda_Man_Sam]

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

[@rodrigo4379]

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

[@lietus4192]

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

[@Papajin68]

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!

[@TheMoffBoy]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

I've always wanted one of those! Great tools!

[@tanithlow3031]

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!

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

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

[@jayynohesi]

love the dedication

[@OGNISTYSZKQAJDII]

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

[@tristan8243]

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

[@yannguilard]

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 ! 💪

[@757KY]

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.

[@jurekstemmler1651]

Always learning of you keep it up

[@takumifujiwara124]

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

[@masons_shitbox_garage3933]

The 300k welcome was sick

[@nkhjk3457]

Typical unfold of events whenever i have to do something on my ek The narration is 100% accurate I love my car , i also fucking hate my car 🥲

[@freitb1]

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.

[@GeneralSlev]

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

[@alexandercasey2444]

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

[@salvagedmetal]

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

[@Cobra_427]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Dang that's super lucky!

[@thiefrules]

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

[@jayonbikes4271]

A real dude, hard working guy.🤘

[@JackPecker911]

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

[@420architecMindNDesign]

Love the positivity

[@bongoms]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Interesting!

[@bongoms]

@@PrizzaMike yeah! my 96 accord had it smack in the middle of the center stack behind an ash tray.

[@drummerdude476]

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

[@CJdriftZ]

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

[@rafaellizaola3501]

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

[@ITJon]

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

[@austinb2211]

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

[@joto1571]

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

[@cgslidez]

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

[@cyanidetrece]

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

[@YT_Gopnik_Mario]

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

[@luckivick]

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

[@kennyman338]

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

[@Futurensen]

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!

[@alonsocristan5458]

yo that header is kinda rare now days lol

[@TomBudin]

that burnout was all she wrote RIP

[@patocallaghan3648]

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

[@KevinZetto]

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.

[@Chattsteezy]

He was worried about the header scratching the car but not the wheels on the ground lol that hurt me too

[@PrizzaMike]

Haha no worries, those were G33 (rep r33) drift spares.

[@cesarestevez3312]

Literally was doing the O2 sensor on mine too

[@Simpyspec]

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

[@wraithmedaberry5795]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Went in dry and came out lucky 😅

[@wyattsho]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

I had no idea! Makes sense tho!

[@gilnavarro2529]

Mike you’re the Man!!

[@stephenstapler9996]

Can’t wait to see it drift ❤

[@kriskrisminer]

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

[@kanaky-drift]

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

[@CerealKiller.]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Interesting! That's a great tip!

[@CerealKiller.]

@@PrizzaMike I am here for ya' bud always leave a comment - helps the "traffic" going hahaha

[@PrizzaMike]

@@CerealKiller. haha thanks man, you're a real mvp

[@Gsr_automotive]

Turbo Integra after the 240 is fixed?

[@PrizzaMike]

Perhaps! 🤔

[@nzuncovered1845]

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

[@Xully]

13:38 nice belt😂

[@rowaldwousie5289]

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

[@bocanegra9133]

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.

[@PrizzaMike]

😅💀

[@schuylerpitts7069]

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

[@Az3_ru]

glad nothing went very wrong in the intergra

[@christianlindner3211]

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

[@kacperschulz2728]

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

[@djamirali69]

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

[@glonojad0490]

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

[@Shadowdarknessone]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Hahaha everytime 😅

[@asosa7100]

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 😆

[@PrizzaMike]

Haha smart!!!

[@avinashmahadeo]

Integra decided to tell you a knock knock joke.😁

[@aidenyousef3880]

Mike the struggle is real

[@PrizzaMike]

Always 😭

[@garageworm17]

That why i live in Florida check light always on 🙃

[@cole_butter]

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

[@nzuncovered1845]

That's OBD1 I believe, same on my 95 Levin BZG and v1 to v3 WRXs

[@Izuna_Elenore]

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

[@PrizzaMike]

Hahahaha 😭

[@panospapadimitriou3498]

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

[@rock0tysong00n3]

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

[@chino1685]

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

[@boosted_2j]

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

[@sdvtpplbcn]

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

[@kvinson1533]

I need me a integra or a Honda. That way I can finish my damn 240...

[@Maostodon]

I think you need to call this a 50 dollar title, the amount of time/work you’ve put in it, I’m not an expert, but I think would amount to a bit more than $50 haha

[@tomcat630]

OBDII is on right since Asian cars are RHD overseas,
