there's just not enough room to work
Be extremely careful if you're going to keep trying to unstick that bolt.
worn bolts can sheer, and then you're in some trouble.
for sure, I was going to drill it out and then just retap it, but I cant get enough force behind a drill to even make a dent.
My end goal is to pull out my cat and knock out the honeycomb and then reinstall it. haha

I found you a reconditioned impact wrench through Milwaukee. You probably wouldn't have a ton of use for a brand new one and I'm sure you don't have a spare $200-$400 laying around. I would keep this tab open just in case all other attempts fail.
You mean the honey comb filter or the clog?
I'm assume that honeycomb is clogged. I've had a misfire for years now, and I assumed the cabon clogged the honeycomb. It's throwing a P0420 code.
I would recomend that you clean it rather than get rid of it. I know some cars are pretty stingy with their exhaust systems.
@Yuma County yeah happens between 20-25 seconds no matter what
@Mark Vandal that would rule out lifters and major engine components at least.
Really? We don't have emission checks here, so I figured I'd just bust it out. But I'll try to clean it first, and if that doesn't work I'll try busting it out. I'm pretty lucky that a new one only costs $455. So things could be worse haah
It has more to do with your cars ECU and not emissions. When I took my mid-pipe and muffler off I drove that old pick up straight piped for a week. The truck's ECU didn't know what the fuck to do and retarded the engine to compinsate there being zero back pressure.
Unless you know for sure the filter wouldn't fuck up your ECU, I would just go with cleaning it.
oh right on, I didn't think of that. But you do this stuff everyday, I appreciate you bro
Keep trying on that bolt my friend, if you have an extra $100 lying around some time I would highly recomend that impact wrench.
I do, I probably going to order it.
I saved up a grand thinking a new cat would cost around that price. so I'm doing ok ahah
They're pretty nifty tools to have. Instead of struggling for hours on a stuck bolt, you can just Shoah it right off.
And then shoah it right back on too
yeah I need one, now my car is 11 years old and it's starting to have age problems. But as much as I hate this car I'll give it respect, this is the first major issue with it in 11 years. I had a vent canister solenoid go out, but nothing major. So an impact would be an useful tool have around.
>you can over torque bolts to commie cars to round them out so the wheels can no longer come off
don't ask me how I know that.
yeah for sure. I had a buddy do that years ago when we first started driving. He was so worried that his wheel was going to come off he cranked them down, and the next flat he got he was screwed
kek
been there, done that
gotta learn somehow
Anyone have any experience with rotary motors?!?
You're the one with the 80s RX7, right? @Whitelash
Yes sir
Wankel 13B rotary, right?
Anything wrong with it?
12a o believe the 13b is the rx8s
And Everything , I've been thinking about a swap or just letting the thing go
Anything specific?
Apex Seals maybe?
Hey goys! I have a question about my car. For like the past 6 months I have been getting the low tire pressure light roughly every two weeks. When I check my tires, all of them are around 25-27 psi and I'll fill them back up to around 30-35 psi. It's like clockwork that every two weeks my tires lose a steady amount of pressure, where I can pretty much predict the exact day my pressure light is going to go on again. If there was low pressure in only one tire, I'd expect it to be the tire - but since it's all of them I think it's something else. I have alloy rims and figured that maybe the tires weren't installed properly. Any thoughts? I don't want to buy new tires if the issue might be something else. Any thoughts?
How old are they brother? If age is causing wear, you can expect multiple tires to slow-leak at the same rate.
Take a bottle of soapy water and squirt them down. It will bubble up where your leaks are at no matter how slow a leak is.
Also, I never buy new tires. I have a tire shop in Louisville that I go to and they keep used tires. $35 for a tire, mounted and the ruined one thrown out. It took a while to find a tire shop ran by white boys but they are still out there.
