    Help with vtec delete

    I need to run vtec full time but I can't buy a killer cam because my spare f23 is going into a lemons racecar. I also don't have a stock ecu it is water damaged, and it's being turbocharged. I'm going to buy a phearable ecu so I don't grenade this thing, but that costs more money. It's not a bad...

    Any lip spoilers that fit a 6ga sedan?

    I might try it. Not too rice, small, not even a duckbill.

    Quick question: G23 uses f23 head bolts or h22 head bolts?

    I haven't seen anything saying you need h22 head bolts, but I also haven't seen anything saying you need f23 head bolts. I'm assuming you need f23 head bolts, right? The only reason I assume that is because you can use an h23 head too which shares our head bolts, but I guess it could vary...

    Car dies in hot weather

    This has happened twice. Once today, once about a week and a half ago. It happens when the car is at very low rpm like idling because today I was rolling at 10mph in 2nd at a stop light the first time. Ive never had this problem before, but I've looked it up and there's a couple Hondas that do...

    How many miles does your accord have?

    So I've been feeling self conscious about the milage of my car, it kills me to watch it climb and climb nearer to 215k. Then again it's it's first engine and it runs great. To make myself feel a little better I want to know how many miles your car has? Chassis miles, engine miles, how many...

    Throttle position sensor only reads 87% open

    After installing a new o2 sensor I decided to check on its performance. While playing with the code scanner I found the tps % and played with it. I noticed it was at 9.7% shut and about 86.6% wot. This concerns me a little bit. I do think my throttle plate is 100% open, but I want to get a...

    Replacement fuel strainer not the same as factory

    Look the new one I got from O'Reillys is half the size as the factory. It's an import direct strainer, it looks solid and good quality, but it's tiny. It's also a bit shorter. Should I reuse the old one, it's a little dirty and has 200k mi on it, I could clean it though. I'm not really liking...

    How do I take my mirror apart completely

    It needs paint and I have to strip all the old paint off of it because whenever I try to paint over it the old paint just bubbles up and peels off. It doesn't peel easy though... I now have 7 hours into spray painting and sanding trying to get the old crap off... Brake cleaner didn't even get it...

    Spark plug gap questions

    So this is an f23 stock internals. Right now it's running pretty good on 89 octane and ngk iridium ix plugs. I'm taking it to the drag strip soon just for the heck of it, but I also want to get the most I can out of it. One of the few things I haven't tried messing with was the plug gap. What is...

    Something may be wrong with my oil

    I have a 99 f23a1 accord with 205k mi on it. This car runs very, very good. Compression is strong, maybe a little better when warm, but the rings seem to be in decent condition for the milage. So the only problem I could point out is the rings are slightly worn and that may contribute to a small...

    Potential brake issues I'm a bit scared

    So, I drive a 99 4dr LX f23a1 accord with a rear disk brake swap. That is the only thing I've ever done to my brakes and all that seems solid, my car stops pretty good, very smooth. What is scaring me is that even before my disk brake swap, my pedal feels solid as a rock in the cold. The fluid...

    I just swapped rear disk brakes in my lx sedan

    I swapped rear disk brakes, e brake cable, brake lines, and rear knuckles into my 99 f23 lx sedan from a 99 f23 ex sedan. Got new wheel hubs, everything seems to work properly. Is there anything else I need to change? Master cylinder, brake booster, anything like that? Old brake lines are still...

    Fix interior door handles

    My front 2 handles have seen better days. The driver side is just really scratched up but the passenger has a nick in it, maybe or it is the chrome coming up giving the appearance and feel like it's nicked. The back look pretty decent. Some of these at least need new chrome on them. What do I...

    Thoughts on tranny choice

    My favorite Honda transmission has to be the t2t4, and if it would work with what I want I would use it but I'm feeling a little crazy. This is just an idea now, my accord would crap if I tried this, so new car and time maybe it will be a dream come true. So, I'm thinking whatever they had in...

    I need help picturing the rear end of a coupe

    I want a coupe really bad, but I'm not going to waste my time with one if I can't get it to look right from all angles. I'm stuck on the rear end, I am used to looking at my sedan. I think my car looks pretty aggressive looking straight at the back, but it would be better if it was lowered an...

    Egr block off plate

    Who has one? How does it affect the f23? Any performance gain or gas mileage change? I am tired of messing with the thing, I hate looking at it and I want to have clean combustion. I might just fab a plate and try it. Will I have to run a slightly higher octane?

    Fixed pcv, good vacuum, car idles at 750rpm but sounds cammed

    My pcv hose was kinking for god knows what reason, it was 3/8in 275psi braided pic hose, I have a catch can inline and needed better line. I replaced it with 3/8 315psi multi purpose hose. Brand new pcv grommet and valve, all works great. I start it up and when it got to normal idle I noticed...

    Pcv valve bypassing gasket oil all around it

    I have a brand new pcv system and a catch can. It was working for the first 500mi and then I improved it, still worked after for at least 1000mi. My hose is clear and I can see oil has stained the catch can to manifold hose brown, problem #1. Today I opened my hood to find my pcv valve has...

    Does anybody elses windshield wiper fluid end up all over their hood?

    My accord is white and my wiper fluid is orange (but gets the job done, by golly). I find that whenever I spray, my nozzles dribble fluid everywhere, not just a few drops in front after it all falls down, it's streams all down the hood. I've changed my nozzles, made sure my lines don't leak...

    cant get power steering lines off rack, need advice or alternative soon!

    I'm doing a power steering delete and it's gone alright so far until I got to taking the lines off the steering rack. It's a f23a1 automatic lx sedan. The big line I can't get a wrench on from any angle, the smaller one I got a 14mm normal wrench on and nearly stripped it, I can't find 14mm line...

    hide amber front turn signal

    I would like to have an amber turn signal but I don't want to see it. I was thinking about taking the amber cover part from the taillight and blacking it out and mounting it up front. Would that work at all? Is there another way to do it? If it does work like that I will black them out in the...

    Srs light stuck on

    My airbags were set off by a rock a while back and the guy who replaced everything did a horrible job and left me with an srs light. I ignored it until I tried to reset the light. The last time it was supposed to come back on and blink twice, it did not blink, and I tried many times. I assume it...

    crackly exhaust

    I am running stock exhaust in a 99 lx sedan except for the big muffler fell off. I just adjusted valves, seafoamed, installed a cai, bypassed throttle body coolant, and added a catch can. I've noticed today if I go wot to maybe 5k rpm the exhaust note on the decel is vicious. It's nothing like a...
