1998 Honda Acty Pics and Updates

A 1998 Honda Acty SDX HA4. It is a 3-cylinder, 5-speed manual mini/kei truck imported to Virginia (by way of the Port of Baltimore) in 2023. It has been a great truck, but has some problems I've been working on... follow along!


Keeping track of mileage and service; The whirring noise.

One of my favorite mods on my Acty is a small notebook I keep on the well-designed dashboard. In this notebook I keep track of every gas fillup and maintenance item that occurs on the truck. I have my tire specs, when oil changess occur, etc. I'm jusst now realizing as I write this that something I should have noted in the book is when the loud whirring noise started... I still need to figure out what is causing that, and it has been going on so long, I should have tried to figure out how many miles i've driven with that issue.

This is primarily city driving, with one trip to Richmond from Fairfax thrown in and a few months of dormancy due to an ignition coil issue
