So the door handles inside or outside have glow lights?

Yeah, outside. Thought it was quite novel

I've got a replacement bare door to fit and swap everything over to soon, so I'll have a closer look once I've removed the lock

that would be good Cheers. Mine looks to have the illumination ring, so it would be good to see what bulb is fitted.

totally off topic but....... just to be different put the front end of your 3rd onto your accord and your accord front end on your 3rd/2.5 gen, i imagine it would look caf.

Not really a great deal in it apart from the grill on the Aerodeck...

I prefer the Prelude front end though

Interesting about the thermo sensor. I was working on my H22a7 (bits up for sale soon) and I saw, what I now know thanks to you, the thermo sensor and was like "WTF is that

"

Good read and good work there Nafe.

I guess what you've described is the benefit of later cars having an O2/lambda sensor (I'm assuming 3rd gens don't have?)

When the thermosensor fails on a 4th gen, the ECU reverts to a default setting which means it runs quite rich (and so as it warms up, it starts to race on idle). Once the O2 sensor has warmed up though, that starts reading and it takes over for the mixture setting, bringing the mixture back under control.
