    Dark_Accord LX-i Resurrected update thread

    ok as some of you know my lxis trans went out on the way to pick up my project 3gee so in the past month i put my DX's susp , brakes , trans , in to my LX-i since i plan on useing other parts on my DX and my lxis were shot.
    this car is my beater so no need to look perfect..

    in the garage just got done bleeding the brakes and working on some wireing shorts


    back from a test drive seems to be working fine but needs a alinement and the brakes still seem a bit soft so i gotta rebleed them lol

    Congrats on the fix! Hopefully everything will go alright with the transmission you swapped out of the project 3gee into your LXi, just finish the job and get her back up and going again ^^ I still say you need to find a good dd, all these project cars are not saving you anything as far as money goes, besides a tranny into your lxi... lol.

    He found that the reverse light wires were shorting out on the trans and that in turn was blowing the blinker fuse, idk about the others though.

    if the reverse light fuse goes it takes out your gauge cluster including most of your indicator lights and the tach,temp sensor,and fuel gauge. also your oil pressure warning light i believe.
