    good headers for my lowered accord

    My car is stock ride height. I didn't like how low my cheapo ebay headers hung. I cut and welded them to hug the oil pan closer. Of course they had a 45* bend not a 90* on the down pipe.

    New ignition coil (f23a1) have you changed yours?

    I changed mine at 190k. The business end of the coil was burnt and mushroomed over. I worked at a napa store at the time and replaced it with an echlin coil. After 10k miles I had some ignition issues. I converted a hitatchi dist cap to take an msd blaster2. It was totally unnecessary...

    Stock Catalytic Converter vs. No Cat vs. High Flow Cat

    My oem cat had some of the plates break loose inside, it was horrendously loud and more restrictive. I purchased a "testpipe" of cheapBay for less than $30 as a stop gap measure while I gathered some extra coin and scoped out my options. It's been 6 months now and im totally cool with...

    repainting hood DIY

    I did this with 4 cans of rustoleum black automotove enamel. I like it because it's uv resistant. Followed with a few cans of clear. Hit it with some rubbing compound and carnuba wax. Turned out ok. Looks fine on a 15 year old car with a fading scratched exterior

    finally a solution to leaking ebay header!!

    First off I'll just say, buy dc sports headers or something of premium quality because ive wasted too many Sundays wrestling with these ebay "jdm mugen style type r racing go fast super turbo honda si" headers. In the past I've tried copper rtv. Copper coat. Exhaust putty. Different...
