TIL my Accord is basically a race car

Tubes in doors > Tube frame chassis > Race car!

I replaced the window regulator today. The only casualty was the courtesy light, I closed the door at some point after pulling it out and smashed the bulb. I pulled what remained of it out and didn’t replace it, because AutoZone would probably only sell you a pair of bulbs for $7 and who needs a courtesy light anyway.

Also, yesterday I hooked up the new temp sensor connector.

Hopefully the new sensor itself will come in tomorrow and I can get the car running again. For those who don’t know, the old sensor broke in half and I couldn’t the the half melted plastic out of the old connector.

And I also replaced the clutch pedal pad. I basically got the new one for free. I got a 5% coupon for RockAuto which saved me like $3 on the regulator and the new pad was only $3. Also I learned when ordering it, the pad for the brake and clutch pedal are the same.

That’s just how the old one was, I didn’t tear it anymore taking it off.

One of these things is not like the other...

The old clutch pedal pad is in better shape than the one on my 2014 car with 60k miles...

My ‘99 Euro Accord had strut tower braces from the factory!

This was taken on the day I picked it up, so that you can see it in all its race-car-ness.

Here it is...

Honestly I think the majority of the damage has been done putting the car into my garage. My driveway is a hill with the garage at the top. It’s a tight fit between the wall and my other car. To crawl into the garage without stalling basically requires slipping the clutch the whole way from the street until parked. The car doesn’t have enough torque/first gear is too tall to make it up the driveway with the clutch all the way out at anything less than 15 MPH, which is too fast to park safely.

Not always. When I sold it the power steering pump was almost dead and made a similar noise.
