Ok, i have a sunbird (89) 5 speed, i took the center console out, stripped the whole interior, and when i took the console out, there was a black box wired up to something.. not sure, it was between the shifter and the e-brake, anyone know what it is? i know its not the buzzer thing, because thats already taken out (hated it!!!!!) so anyone know? thanks in advance for help

"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"

It is the flux capacitor.




















I actually have no idea what it is.

whats it do?

This is what is does

Doctor Emmett Brown came up with the idea of the flux capacitor after slipping and bumping his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock. The idea came to him in a vision he had after being knocked out.

In order to travel through time, the vehicle integrated with the flux capacitor needs to be travelling at 88 mph (141.6 km/h), and requires 1.21 gigawatts of power (1 210 000 000 watts), originally supplied by a plutonium-powered nuclear reactor. However, for the time machine's return trip (from 1955 back to 1985), plutonium was not available, so a lightning rod was connected directly to the flux capacitor and was used while the vehicle sustained 88 mph. Plutonium was used once again for a trip forward in time at least 30 years, and at some point thereafter the plutonium reactor was replaced by a "Mr. Fusion" home energy generator from the future that was fueled by extracting hydrogen atoms from garbage.

The DeLorean once again came back to 1985 and proceeded to travel to 2015, where it was stolen and taken back to 1955 and returned back to 2015 without the Doc's knowledge. When they returned in 1985, they found it was a different present, so they traveled back to 1955 to fix the timeline. The DeLorean was again struck by lightning in the year 1955, this time by accident. The lightning created an overload and destroyed the time circuits, if you watch closely you will see that the 1885 date was already displayed before the lightning hit, after the LED read-outs flashed, this is a reference to earlier in the film when Doc exclaims that he needs to fix them (they also flash a random date before he hits it and they are corrected), contrary to popular belief the 1885 date was not caused by the lightning hitting the DeLorean. It was then hidden in the Delgado mine for 70 years, "... because suitable replacement parts will not be invented until 1947." This is presumably a reference to the invention of the transistor. It was recovered from the mine in 1955 and repaired by Doc Brown's 1955 counterpart, thus restoring it to working order. Since both gasoline and garbage were available, the next trip back to 1885 was performed under the car's own power.

Due to a broken fuel line, the DeLorean's final trip from 1885 to 1985 was partially powered by a steam locomotive pushing the vehicle up to 88 mph while using Mr. Fusion to generate the 1.21 gigawatts required to activate the Flux Capacitor and break the Time barrier. At the very end of the third movie, Doc returns to 1985 in a time machine made from a train. This uses a flux capacitor that Doc was able to power using steam.

i still dont get it lol

You don't need to worry about it, I don't think a Sunbird could generate the 1.21 jiggawatts it needs to run anyway.

LOL Or get up to the necessary 88mph....

More than likely it was some sort of alarm system or extra accessory that the previous owner installed...

Unfortunately no, it requires something with a little more kick - plutonium.

ahh screw it lol... ill just keep it there.... cant see it anyway...

"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"

thats the safe part of the car.

If you wreck the car, it records all the information before the wreck. This way the Police can hook up to it, and tell exactly how and what happened.... Just like they use on the air planes.


Freaking newbs.


...

Take a picture... and post it ...

more than likely though, its something aftermarket the former owner put in...
