t7design/exoracing fan upgrade

My original fans were giving out, and I guess the wires were rubbing against something because I saw some exposed copper. I swear I couldn’t find a new OEM style replacement fan anywhere. I also couldn’t find a definite answer on if exoracing fans would fit. I asked exoracing and they said mishimoto lists their radiators to fit both the Type R and SI, but they couldn’t guarantee it.

After paying an arm and a leg for shipping and tariffs they arrived and fit great! Just had to solder the old connectors on. There’s also no brackets for the wiring, so hopefully my routing is sufficient. But if anyone’s wondering t7design/exoracing fan shroud will fit on a USDM ep3. Kit comes with SPAL fans and they’re loud asf

First time a car has left me stranded

Car was driving fine, then I went to shift into 3rd and felt the clutch hydraulics give out. Pedal stuck to the floor and wouldn’t come back up. Reservoir bone dry. Currently waiting on Triple A, anyone have any idea what could’ve happened? Or how can I check? I replaced the master and slave cylinder with exedy about 6 months ago, and it’s been great since. Like it just gave out all at once.

Upgraded fans?

Hey guys, need some upgraded fans for my USDM EP3. I have a Mishimoto radiator, and I’m wondering if the t7 design/exoracing kit would fit on my usdm si? Or does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

A/C Pressure Readings

Hey guys I have a 2004 Civic Si I changed the compressor, 2 ac lines, condenser, drier, and then went to get the system vacuumed + charged. Blew cold the first day then after that it took awhile to get ice cold. Then started to go from ice cold to hot and back and forth. Now it just blows warm. I have these pressure readings and I’m thinking the compressor isn’t pumping? I can see the clutch engaging. I’m not an expert so any help is appreciated

Really cheap Series S, graphics card issue?

I bought this Series S, it was disassembled and the guy said it had a graphics card issue. As you can see in the description I really had no idea what he was talking about. Anyways I got him down to $30, took it home, cleaned it, put it all together and here I am. It had some trouble turning on at first, but after I factory reset it everything seems fine. I downloaded FH6, Fortnite, and Roblox. I’ve been playing for hours and no problems yet. My monitor is only 1080p so I’m not sure if it has issues with 4K or something? Is there anything I can do to test if anything is really wrong? I bought it with full intention of it being broken, and wanted to experiment with painting the shell.

just got this for $100

Just picked up this 212 ghost minibike for $100! I have experience with regular stock 212s but not the ghost, the guy said it was his grandsons and the built the motor. Stock parts are on the second slide. Had no gas in it so I’ll have to put some in later. It also has a jackshaft on it, both my bikes are straight chained so but jackshaft doesn’t look too complicated. If anyone has any tips or can help with the built motor I would appreciate it, guy said it’s 20hp and goes 80. I find it hard to believe but who knows. Also if I could get an ID on the frame that would be helpful. Thanks!

05 mazda3 instantly dies, just purchased

Hey guys, just purchased this 2005 Mazda 3 with the 2.3L, and it has 89k miles. I drove it an hour home and it ran great, parked it for about 10 minutes then went on a drive. I came to a stop then the car shut off. I thought maybe it was because it was low on fuel, so I put 3 gallons in. Can hear fuel pump priming, but as soon as it cranks and starts it shuts right off. Got it towed back and only way I got it to run was unplugging the MAF sensor and cranking it for 2-3 sec. Noticed the battery light was on too. I’m done messing with it today, so any help for tomorrow would be appreciated!

Picked up a 5zigen pro racer tie bar, and some ktuned rear lca. Looks pretty good under there now, just need to do some cleaning. I was looking at an m&m front strut brace next, anyone have some pictures?

this is the oldest car I’ve owned, but also my favorite. so what if people mistake it for a fit, and who cares if it’s slow, this thing is amazing. only thing is there’s no ac… but that just means 5 more HP
