I ordered the wrong lower column cover for my last install on the integra. I finally got the right one. I got it a week or so ago. Finally I installed it. The one in the car has some adhesive holding the knee bolster that isn't supplied or mentioned in the accompanying instructions. There really wasn't anything wrong with it but I wanted it to match. Fail. The new and old do not match the color of the new top.

That is another one of my hobbies. I grew up racing bmx in the 80/90s . I like 90s bmx and cars. The one on the table is an expert which I don't have all the parts for. I am almost done with its bigger brother.

I put my spare ecu in the car last week. The check engine light has not came back but I am expecting it to. The cabin had the fart smell again last week and afterwards I was smelling outside the car some strange unburnt vapor/ exhaust stink as it was idling in the garage. I am thinking it's a leak but I am not sure where. Pretty much the one thing my brothers shop doesn't have is a smoke machine. I don't really trust people to touch my cars who are outside my circle of friends. I will probably look and see if oreily rents one if the code comes back which I guessing will. The purge valve isn't to far from location where the hood release cable is rerouted , resulting in a small gap at the harness / grommet . Which is my guess where the sulfur stink is coming from in the cabin. If anyone has additional insight on evap code p1457 please let me know. Today I couldn't reproduce the stinch or code. Chasing this wild goose sure sucks.

I hate p1457. I have spent a lot including smoke test, jdm p73-003 ecu and boomslang harness (both for sale) and bought a spare p73-C04 ecu from a local og ITR owner. A heck of a rare find since it is discontinued and Acura sold about 1000 ITR in Canada. 400 00 and 01 CDM R. I sent it to @jkatman on Instagram @ffchips.com to bypass the immobilizer properly. I am 98% sure my issue is my original ecu stopped sending evap signals. I ran this ecu for a while and the p1457 code did not come back. Waiting to get the ecu back in my possession. Edit: Got my p73-C04 oem ecu back with immobilizer bypass. No more CEL. Hopefully for a very long time!

Jdm p73-003 ecu (and jumper harness of 00 01)will work great on a USDM car and no more p1457.

Just wanted to comment on the ebrake button replacement. What a pita. The hardest part is getting it back on as the button is incredibly tight to thread on. There are a lot of threads to spin on to and you have to get tension on the spring. I wrapped mine in electrical tape and used vice grips a quarter turn at a time.

Got something from the the U.K thanks to acklanders thread . I contacted the seller and he included the bracket in the thread. However I think his picture below is slightly different than the bracket and different orientation than the one I I received.

Here is the bracket I received. It has some interesting U.K. Patina. I will try to resolve this with a citrus rust remover. I would prefer a original finish. I will let you know how that works out. Otherwise it has to be painted.

I don't have the original usdm purge valve bracket so this a plus 1 . This is my guess how it should go. What line is in and out I can only guess. The bracket fits perfectly on the firewall.

Looks the same as I have. The nipple facing forward goes to the IM.

Pm me if you need any more photos of how I have it setup.
