    Re-spray, Ferrari colours anyone?

    Just out of curiosity more than anything else, has anyone here done a full vehicle re-spray in any 'exotic' colours and if so, pics? I'm strongly considering Azzurro California metallic, have access to full shop facilities sans a roll in/roll out paint booth, and will be mixing the paint myself...

    distributor quitting?

    I've had the typical dashboard lights flash intermittently at me, brake, battery, and all the door adjacent ones. Now initially I replaced the alternator knowing mine was on its way out anyway and could be the source of the issue. That was a month and a half ago, worked beautifully and no more...

    Bad leak

    Sounds like one of the lines leading into/out of the stock tranny cooler on the bottom of the rad to me, get under the car when its cooled down, remove the splash-guard covering the bottom front end of the block to get a better look at it, there should be a hard metal line leading into a short...

    solved

    Re: NEED HELP! identifying this part please Ouch, is it bleeding fluid from the gasket or is that a spill? oh, and when you go to unbolt the solenoid, have a low profile wrench handy if you don't want to remove the hard line above the rear left corner, makes a world of difference.

    3.2 Type-S transmission options?

    Damn, I dont know how I managed to overlook that, simple engine search should have pointed that out. Its a direct bolt up yes?

    3.2 Type-S transmission options?

    Hey ladies and gents, I have been looking at the cost of an entire drivetrain swap in the near future as my rebuilt bx7a is agonizingly slowly, but surely on its way out again. My question to you fine citizens of 6ga is: I know some of you have done the 3.2 swap from the TL (I'm looking at...

    Transmission Solenoid/IACV

    Depends which solenoid you have to do, the shift A/B one is on the right side, mounted directly on top of the tranny just in front (I think, in class, cant check for ya right now) of the tranny dipstick. It looks like a pair of small cylinders mounted horizontally and seems to be the most common...

    Brake line rusted

    Not threadjacking here, but damn if I didnt have a similar problem the week before you. I have discs on the rear and thought I cracked the hard line, looked underneath and it was a MESS along the line, turns out something in my right real caliper literally exploded and started pissing brake...

    Best gas company thread...

    Based on my experiences, I would rank my top 5 as: Chevron Esso Husky PetroCan Costco F*ck Shell, worked there for a while, car never ran quite as well when running their 89 (albeit marine gas) Here in the Great White North though, prices are pretty much stable all across town...

    Wiring problems

    *Edited* pull it out and check the antenna plug again, I have had it happen countless times where the lead is a little short and it ends up getting pulled half out while reinstalling.

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    Full fluids change, still gotta d&f the tranny some more to clean it right out. Installed an ATF cooler which was recipe for 5 hours of cursing and bloody knuckles Finished some significant bodywork + paint, have to wait to cut/polish it which only leaves me wishing for a new paintjob, so...

    auto tranny flush

    Do it, I waited 16 months after buying mine to change the fluid, and that was mainly due to the linear solenoid going out. After seeing the colour (think oil mixed with water, that nasty brown) I'm pretty religious about changing it regularly, mind you, I have the v6, so its pretty much a...

    Kenwood vs Pioneer

    Welp, I'm and idiot and impressed at the same time. Figured out my problem on a 6hr drive today, subsequently going through most of my downloaded music. My Pioneer compensated for any inferior track/sound quality by adding moderated levels of bass over everything, therefore "mudding" up the...
