aight, so the only thing broken with my car is the passenger door lock.

basically, it only locks/unlocks from the outside, but the inside switch doesnt work. i think a wire is snapped or something. i am thinking that ill fix this myself...

what do i need to know about taking the door apart and fixing this sort of thing?

hey man so you bought the car...sweet....anyways i have yet to pull my door panel so I may not be of much assistance, but its mainly common sense, your window lever shoudl pull right off, same with the plasitc housing around the interior door latch, keep an eye out for caps that may be conceiling any screws, if you think al the possible screws have bee pulled just pull on the door panel little by little, you may have to force some parts to get the panel to pop off but just take it slow, after youll be abe to see all the interior components of the door and go from there, sorry I cant be any more precise, let me know how it goes..

hahahah yah it is, has all the intake resonator plastic piping right ontop and behind the rad that runs perpendicular to the engine, een pulled? if your airbox is nothing but an airbox with no piping coming out of it and you can read 4age on the timing belt cover then its been taken off but if it hasnt then get rid of all that piping, I did it to mine and a noticed somemore top end and as soon as 5000 rpm comes up it sounds like vtec:thumbsup: if you ever need parts for it hondatoy has tons of used parts, let me know if you ever need there number, I bought a control arm with everything on it including a link kit for 40 bucks, it was used of course, but toyota wanted 350 for a new one:thumbsdow

the 5000rpm "kick" that u feel is the T-VIS kicking in!

Sweet you got your car!

I was looking at my door-lock system the other day and its just a bunch of rods that interconnect.

I'd suggest searching through some forums to get actual instructions though. I nearly broke my door before finding out I was missing a hidden screw.

either try the forums, or maybe those haynes manuals. They have instructions on how to remove things. Crutchfield is where I found my instructions (labeled as how to change door speaker)

tvis sort fo creats backpressure in your intake syste, what it does is it closes off one of the 2 intake runners on each cylinder, this cause I larger intake "charge" why creates more torque at lower rpm, when the vehicle is accelerating and reaches an rpm range where torque really isnt needed as much (4600-5000rpm) tvis opens the closed runners and allows mroe air in which creates more top end:thumbsup: its basically somehitn gthat honda should incorporate with there vtec engines

If you look at a dissected TVIS box you'll notice that when the secondary butterflys are closed, they are blockin air to 4 of the 8 airways to the intake manifold. Basically it prevents air from getting to 4 of the intake valves, thus increasing the velocity of the intake charge. Pretty cool system for its day, and I find that Toyota's TVIS engines have much better torque curves than Honda's 'gutless before 5600RPM' TVEC engines. But then again when honda's finally hit that 5600RPM mark they frickin fly.
