Reversing a trailer with that degree of accuracy is a skill I’ve never been able to master. I like that colour a lot and can’t wait to see the finished vehicle 👍🏻🏴
It’s not hard to do if you do it a lot. If the gap is wider than the trailer then the whole lot will go through quite easily. Here in UK my new car will be that colour, only been waiting for 9 months so far for the factory to build it!
Came here to say this too. At first I was thinking maybe he fixed a wiring harness, but the clue of a broken intake pretty much narrows it down to MAF.
I used to run a warehouse, and there were two drivers who were exceptional. The dock was in a narrow alley and they had to drive past it and swing the trailer 90 degrees. One could back his pup trailer in the narrow alley and hit the dock perfectly square in one shot every time. One driver was exceptionally bad, he'd try 20 or 30 times and never even get close, then expect us to lift an 1800 pound pallet across a 5 foot gap to the trailer.
@@milesparris4045 was the latter driver a SWIFT trained driver? I say this because they cannot back up, which means a toilet can do something they can't do!
I actually stumbled across this channel recently replacing my heater core in my 05 Sierra. I decided to watch some other videos, and I’ve never seen how body work is done as I’m no body guy. After watching a couple videos, I’m here to stay!
Just off frame is another car, if I could have made a wider turn, there would have been no correction. The video actually makes it look like there is more room than there is.
I would have been very disappointed if you had omitted the traditional, almost mandatory, back-up warning as you drove the vehicle off the trailer. Keep up the good work!
That is a good looking car. I really like that blue and the red seats really make it cool, at least I think so! Looking forward to the rest of the build.
Somewhere in the hills of Virginia one rainy night a conversation something like this was held. “L.C., what in the world did you do to that purdy blue car?” Always honest to a fault he replied, “I broke it.” Now it’s found itself in the cold regions of the Peoples Republic of Illinois where the lone voice of American ingenuity and craftsmanship will put the Blue Bomber back together as Scott of VehCor fame works his magic
Yikes, how times have changed when a single headlight costs $1.500 dollars. My first car had sealed beam headlights that were $4.00 each. Looking forward to part 2. :)
Don't really care how you got it started. You showed great skill and practice in backing that trailer in the shop. just takes pracrice and the Dirtnali did a great job. Ready to see this one finished.
Friday Friday Friday! What would Friday be without a video from Scott's Acura emporium! My first guess would be re-seating the oil or fuel pressure sensor and the second would be re-seating the MAF.
I have yet to back up a trailer with that level of skill. Impressive. On my old expy an unpluugged MAF would get me around that much "unmetered" air returning stoichiometric bliss via a base map. 😊
We have a 2020 in the exact same spec. I convinced my wife on it and said I’ll take it if you don’t end up liking it. After she got multiple compliments, I didn’t have to worry about having to drive it as my daily driver. One thing that was mentioned was the vehicle is a fancy CRV. This generation of RDX rides on its own platform. However, I’d rather have the fancier Honda infotainment! We got our vehicle during the middle of the pandemic so we got a steal on it. Honestly, now for the price, I’d just go out and lease a BMW X3. While the longevity won’t be as good, and maintenance more expensive (notice I said lease), the chassis is better, and the vehicle is more refined. Plus if you splurge, you can get a …..B58!!!
Good luck with it. A good friend of mine works for a insurance company,and he told me that cars are being totaled for extreme wait of parts. A person like myself has a rental car capped at 1000$. The person that owned that tricked out pony, probably had unlimited rental coverage. Hence it was cheaper for them to total it than pay a rental-and fix it. Again, good luck with it.
Man what a mess. I’ve had to replace the radiator condenser inter cooler and shutter grills as well as the right headlight on a CRV for a customer who hit a deer at about 80mph. They wanted it fixed good enough to continue their drive back to Michigan. Trying to straighten the core support and fender to bolt everything back in was fun,and our shop is not a body shop either. The part the customer hit the roof hardest was the front radar,they didn’t like the cost of replacing it or the aiming it correctly to get the “dash emoji’s “ to turn off so they drove back to Michigan with no cruise control or any other features the radar controls. Bet that was a fun trip.
My assumption as to why this was a total: parts availability. I know for a while parts were backordered indefinitely. Insurance companies were not paying rental, and instead were writing cars off instead of fixing and paying rentals.
Glad we got the train in first thing 😂 Looks like a clean piece to rebuild. Wonder if these are getting totaled because of high salvage values and parts shortages?
You are correct about windshield replacement. I have a 22 aspec. Had to replace windshield 4 months after I bought it. $1700 for OEM with calibration for safety.
You’re not going to get nominated for an academy award for cinematography with continuity issues like that! Hood still on at the shopping list reveal at the end ;)

Scott, must say one must be impressed watching you back that trailer into your shop. There can be the wonders of video but I do believe it did not take too many retakes.
The price of replacement parts is insane. Probably why they totalled it. I'm guessing the MAF sensor. Unplug it & it goes to base line or limp mode. Good video😊
@@vehcor Outside my shop in the complex I rented from was a guy who built, rented and sold tear drop trailers and bigger ones. It was always fun on a sunday night sitting outside in a law chair watching the rookies trying to back them in place. The parking lot is about 300 cars. The trailers are in 2 rows, 3 deep. So it's like backing a car into a spot. A buddy was over and one guy in a mercedes backed up, jack knifed, straightened out so many times he was literally 3/4 of the way across the parking lot. I finally had enough and walked over "do you want me to do it"? NOOO. Ok, what you do is pull in close, turn to the right, unhook the trailer and roll it in. (the tongue jack had a wheel on it).
Blind side backing in like a pro. Kudos. Sorry not a hater, just not a fan of Accura. Keep up the videos, love watching them. Love that color, its the same color I got on my Infiniti

I would have used some type of duct tape to seal that hole. See the ice and snow, been a while since we have seen that here in the Land of Rust and Corruption.

My insurance premiums have gone up the last two renewals and their excuse is that the insurance companies are all paying higher labor and parts cost. So in this case they total a perfectly repairable car and we all get jammed with higher rates.. 😡😡
Nice SUV. What was the most expensive part(s) you needed to replace in this build? I bet the color matching might be tough. Thanks for the Video Scott. I noticed a shadow gnome in a reflection on the car. Get him to work!
at time stamp 11:36 thru 11:51 you have a gnome spectator reflected in the clean fender with arms crossed, are they in-training for the supervisors or the pizza delivery girls shop jobs?
Wow; this is going to be a sweet ride when you're finished with it. 20K miles, no major structural damage. Too bad about the salvage title; totally unfair.

It's cool to watch someone that can back up a trailer, especially around a corner, talent indeed!
When you back up, put your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel, instead of the top. Then when you pull to the left, the wheel will turn right.
Not to mention that was a “blind side” backup. It’s usually a little easier on the driver’s side. Very impressive!
I'm guessing you unhooked the MAF sensor to get it to run on the base map in the ECU...
Or MAP or radar sensor. One of those I agree
That was going to be my guess. Unplugged the MAF.
Came here to say this too.
At first I was thinking maybe he fixed a wiring harness, but the clue of a broken intake pretty much narrows it down to MAF.

Start of the video and already impressed with the mad trailer skills.

I suspect from the way in seemed to start and die. It was the inertia switch tripped. Reset it an fuel pump power restored.
Gas. Out of gas. Like you said at the start and it makes the point that the auction won't do anything other then turn the key to see if it starts.
