Never found out what the white cylinder did or does. My dad suggest I put it back on the car and see if it works. It worked and the noise slowly disappeared. I was surprised. He said it was probably just the temperamental nature of carbys.
Anyway, I have also changed the atf. The at slips hard between 2-3 and 3-4.
I've been driving the car a bit too. Very long drive yesterday which was good. I took some photos around various places in Adelaide and I posted them below. Tell me what you think

I had a bunch of stickers recreated today - the original ACCORD AERODECK sticker for the back an a "Let's Lock Up" written in Japanese for the doors. They were originally on there but I can see they've been torn off. :'(
I got 3 ACCORD AERODECK stickers but I messed the first one up and put it on crooked.The second one (pictured) looks much neater and is only out by less than half a mm. The one on the door looks crooked but it's just the way I took the picture. :3
Great attention to detail.
The rear sticker looks bright!

Yeah shame actually. The paint is so old :P The sticker is so new. It sticks out and I'm not sure if it's in a good way.
Meh. A couple months in the summer sun will make it match.

Great!!! That you managed to get it working! Can you please help me and GrafKröte to get it working?

Thank you!!!
Indeed. Why not get one anyway and just have a post-it note with the values converted to MPH ?
Thanks ! But unfortunately I had no idea what I was doing. Aaron helped me install it through messaging. Apparently because my Aerodeck is JDM and the NZ market is JDM I could simply switch the looms and it would work. He was unsure whether this would be a problem for CDM, USDM or EDM but perhaps it is ? I really couldn't help I'm sorry. You will need to get into contact with him to have any chance of getting yours working. He is the digi-dash god !
Not much to report on at the moment unfortunately. I'd been waiting as the surround was snapped when it arrived (silly shipping
Before:
After:
The repair was a complete success and it looks brand new ! (Well - that spot anyway ! :P) It definitely feels stronger than before and I'm confident no bumps or knocks will release the tension on that area and snap again.
I spent time cleaning up the wiring loom I was sent too. There was nothing wrong with it but most of the conduit was gone so a lot of wires were getting mixed up and I had to make sense of it somehow. I only wrapped this loom in electrical tape. It will hold it in a nice shape and rid any rattling.
Apart from that I've had to do some soldering and wiring. I've got a few more left (which I'm hoping to knock out tomorrow) and then it will be finished !
Until next time ! (Hopefully when it's 100%!)

Huge shoutout to Aaron for selling and giving me major advice and help through the installation !!
(Y) glad to see its finally all completed.
So pretty!
Heyo, nothing new. Been keeping the Aero stationary for a while. I suspected a blown head gasket because it kept overheating. Although I got so paranoid I'd always shut the car off when it hit 3/4 temp :/ I took it down to my mechanic who did a compression test on the cylinders and they all came back roughly the same numbers so he confirmed there was no blown head gasket. I did the checks as well (radiator fluid bubbling, milky residue on oil cap, etc) and also came to the same conclusion. Since then I've put it down to the shitty, old-ass, rusted out, clogged up, bullshit radiator. So I managed to find a brand new one on eBay for like $95au shipped ! How cool is that ? I've got a picture below. It's a copper core, 2 row and has plastic tanks. I looked for an aluminium one but found no results. I did some research and I decided to stick with the copper.
I couldn't leave you all without some digi-dash goodness so check this:
Very cool stuff. Now drive it!

Hell yeah ! Did the radiator after work with a mate tonight and we burst with excitement when completed ! We even hit 3 figures
Drove for about 2 hrs non-stop with no fluctuation in temperature. Everything was perfect
The old radiator was FILLED with gunk ! You could pull some out after sticking your fingers in there

Today I got those old, seized power folding mirrors out and replaced them with some others I'd purchased from someone off of the 3geez forum.
For anyone looking to do the same to their Aerodeck you will need to use the mounts from your mirrors but the body off of the sedan/coupe/hatch mirrors. Because of the lengthy shape of the door, the mirror mount is different (which threw me off). It is possible however to use them.
Here's a video of mine working. I'm unsure why but the passenger's side folds in and out faster than the driver's. Oh well... they both work which is awesome
Not a huge update but this is a Japanese stereo I bought from Yahoo! Japan Auctions about 2 months ago. All of my harnesses and the fm band extender turned up yesterday. I wired it in today and it suits the Aerodeck perfectly ! A very retro little stereo with awesome equalizers ! Brilliant for its time
Very Flashy!
I'm hoping I'll get away with it through inspection and be able to fix it afterwards.

Nothing too new to report. I've been driving the Aerodeck full time for the last 3 months and it's been superb - no leaks or hiccups. I've been letting others take it for a spin too. I only wish some of you guys were in Aus to try it out. It's such a fluid car to drive.
Time to work on wheels + suspension.
Also, I chucked it on the rollers yesterday (out of curiosity). I was afraid it'd blow up so the dyno guy took it easy. Still made 67.9kw which is nothing to snuff at.
