    how long did your suspension last?

    Thanks a lot brother. I'm a cheap bastard and I was hoping to milk this thing for a bit longer, especially considering I just invested 1200 bucks into her. But I guess I need to consider that a lesson learned move on. Thanks again.

    how long did your suspension last?

    Hey guys. I had come here a few months back with a performance budget on my 2001 5 speed Accord. You guys set me straight quickly; modding up that car with 6+K, when you can't do your own work, is very stupid. I've dropped that idea completely. I've now got my sights set on a completely...

    noob with performance budget established- throw opinions if ur bored

    Hey guys. Underwhelmed with the new car market I have decided to keep my Accord for several years. I have 8k to play with. That must include installation, taxes etc; I don't do my own work.

    5 speeders: how long did your clutch last?

    Just curious what the norm is. I am having trouble finding first gear on occasion, and there is a bad "creak" when engaging the clutch. Other than that, it seems fine.

    repairing a big-*** hole in my leather seat (pic)

    I'm an idiot. As you can see, there is a massive hole in drivers seat. I have no interest in dropping a G to get the leather worked on by a professional, so I thought I would ducktape the hole closed. As you can see, some direct sunlight turned that into a situation wherein I now have a...

    requesting maintenance opinions

    Thanks for your reply dude. I read against drain and flush on high mileage cars on the consistent source of considered information known as Yahoo! Answers. I don't know cars so I can't speak intelligently about this, but both coolant and tranny drain and refills were recommended against because...

    requesting maintenance opinions

    Hi guys, I'll get right to it. My 2001 2.3 L SOHC, 5 speed coupe has 175,000 miles. No major problems. Stock clutch, tranny, etc. I would like to keep this car for many years to come. My questions: -I have not changed the tranny fluid or the engine coolant in about 7 years, or 100,000 miles...
