    Sway Bar Size FAQ

    Despite what is written in this thread the solid 27.2 mm Acura TL-S front bar doesn't fit 4 cylinder cars--at least not mine with its aftermarket welded-in catalytic converter. I have the bar, bushings, and brackets in new condition if anyone else is interested.

    Driver side door stuck!

    Tonight I was able to get the latch open using the method detailed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrQbNaH1wpI This morning I tried unsuccessfully with a set of picks, but once I made a similar wire tool to the one shown in the video I had the door open in a few minutes. Now I...

    Driver side door stuck!

    I got the panel off, verified the latch is at fault, and ordered the new parts. I haven't opened the door yet though.

    Driver side door stuck!

    My driver's door latch had the same issue. I haven't fixed it yet--I'm still doing research. Basically the latch breaks and you can either pick at it after removing the door panel, attempt to carefully drill part of the latch, or completely destroy the latch and remove the pieces. Here are...

    Trailer hitch yay or nay?

    I've towed a 4' x 8' utility trailer with my '89 Accord occasionally for the last several years. Just keep the tongue weight and total weight down and you'll be fine. The receiver isn't invisible, but without the hitch, it's not very noticeable.

    Cylinders 1-5 Misfiring!

    Re: Oil Inside Intake I don't see how the EGR system could contribute to this problem. The EGR valve controls the flow from the exhaust to the intake--the crankcase is not involved.

    AEM 2pc rotors

    It's not the area of the pad, it's the forces and where they are applied that makes the difference. The master cylinder/caliper combination squeezes the pads against the rotor with a force roughly proportional to the force on the brake pedal. I'll use some numbers to illustrate: Assume 1"...

    AEM 2pc rotors

    With more tire grip your would need to press harder on the pedal to achieve maximum braking. The extra grip would allow you to slow down faster. However, for the first stop you still wouldn't really benefit from a modified brake system assuming the stock system has a decent front to rear...

    Possible Sensor Issue?

    Sounds like it could be the TPS. Why not pull the code and see what the ECU thinks. You've checked that all the wire harnesses connectors are fully seated too, right?

    14in Tire Sizes?

    Why do you want the biggest size that will fit? Why not the standard size 195/70-14?

    AEM 2pc rotors

    Since the caliper is moved outward the brake torque is increased. This will reduce the pedal effort to get the same braking force as the stock system on the front axle. This change also would alter the front to rear brake balance (front lockup even earlier than stock), and add rotating...

    Suspension clunk, can speak car

    Give it a try. The parts were cheap--it's just a hassle to deal the the spring compressor.

    1999 Accord ex sedan, leaking!!

    I had a leak that looked a lot like that. I found some of the power steering hose clamps needed to be tightened a bit. How is your power steering fluid level?
