arnach - thanks for probably the most content heavy reply, that's a lot of help and you're definitely putting me in the right direction, i cant even begin to describe how helpful all that was
Grundle - where did you get your paint?
Ballistic - thanks! the previous owner said he had read something about "a wire" and this is just what i was looking for. however, DMV is unaware of the problem because neither of us wanted that on the carfax so buying a new odometer and then "guessing" the mileage probably wouldnt be a good idea. is there a guide online for getting the cluster out? on my integra it was just 5 screws...hopefully acura didn't change too much in between cars haha...
everyone else - thanks for the warm welcome and the answers to my questions! i'll try to get pictures as soon as i can (even though my car isnt that great yet) because im sure you guys love seeing nice legends even more than me haha.
"white smoke" update - ever since visiting the forums ive been more aware of this and have kept my eye on my tailpipe. i still have a little white smoke on startup but once the engine is warm i can start the car without any smoke and that's relieving. tonight though i came off of work and started my car and the engine was cold and it was pretty chilly outside yet there was no white smoke. i waited a few minutes but none come. as i pulled out i realized how cold i was so i turned on the heat and when i glanced in my rearview mirror i saw the smoke floating away from my car. i turned off the heat and the smoke disappeared and that made me nervous. also, my heat isn't very strong and that's odd because i thought heat just came from the engine bay and we all know how hot those get. i checked my coolant and it seemed to be fine but the reservoir bottle was a little low. am i getting all worked up for no reason still or is there some method to my madness?
