    oil change / auto trans fluid change / misc..

    Here I wiped the engine's dipstick on a paper towel, under 'E'. I wiped the trans under 'T' but you can't see it well, so there's a pic of it draining. This is the darkest the oil or ATF should look! This is at about 12 months & 7,000 miles since I changed them both last time. It will take your...

    Wiper linkages?

    My stock one failed ~7 years ago (@~7 years old). The main arm fell loose, so I made it a uniwiper :p That was temporary, I replaced the whole mess shortly after. But the new-er one is failing too, ithas not fallen off yet, but it has lots of slop. I don't remember what I used, but I just...

    Where's the fuse on oem fog lights?

    Really, I used to have oem fog lights. When I swapped the front end, I ditched the fogs (outside) but kept the swich (inside). The fogs were controlled by a single wire, I think, so I'm using that for a DRL hack. Then I can use the switch, after I hack the switch to turn on w/ ignition...

    Questions about a roof rack

    I think I have a Yakima Q-Tower set, but idk, it says no where on it and I bought it ~5 years ago (used, for a 91 Civic sedan :) ). I need a roof rack to haul my bicycle, and it's nearly free, so why not :p I'll see if it fits :D But where do you put the brackets? Like how far from the...

    Why won't these fuel pressure regulators fit a V6?

    I want to keep my stock regulator, but bump my pressure slightly (heat soak idear). I'll stick in a vice (to squish the spring) if one of these won't fit. The stock bits are so damn reliable, I might as well keep what I can. The ad says: "90-02 Honda Accord 4 Cyl Models Only" Why is...

    I used water pipe and electrical conduit parts :D

    So stock O2 sensor thread: 18mm = 0.708" 1.5mm = 0.059" (~16tpi) So I used 3/8" pipe parts, 3/8" is inside diameter of the pipe, so you get 5/8" thread: 5/8" = 0.625" (15.875mm) 14tpi = 0.071" (1.803mm) DAMN CLOSE!!! So with a bit of work: That's a 3/8" water street elbow, with an...

    Checked my compression

    Awhile back, about 210k miles, I found my old notes. Engine cold, dry test: 1 - 200 2 - 195 3 - 195 4 - 185 5 - 198 6 - 195 With a minimum of 135psi, and a maximum variation of 28psi... Honda made a GREAT car!

    white face / glow indicated gauges

    we have light up needles, right? So I hate this blue crap in the middle of reverse glow: anyone know how to make this happen? I want some like my old ones (88-91 Civic did not have lighted needles, they were white so I painted 'em orange)

    who out there has a stock Accord? Desires that it -stays- stock? I just feel that I'm going the way that engineers desired, but cash-counting dip****s changed...the car is pretty good at doing about everything stock...

    CEL? MIL? I'm bored, post problems here

    So I'm not seeing very many cars without a light on. Usually, people 'hide' them behind a picture. Our car should just have the gauges change to red lighting! Anyway, I am a pro, and I am bored. So any lights or noises making you annoyed? Post them here. Number one step, know your...

    Should I go past Brandy Farnsworth's house?

    The lady who's self described 'accident' nearly killed me. I haven't seen her. Or the police. So I feel like driving by. Because I've never seen the lady who nearly killed me. I will not be breaking any laws in Brandy Farnsworth's cause.

    rear drum-> disc swap prop valv ?

    I don't see to many people swapping these out, I remember prop valves sending ~10psi to drums to take up springs. Discs have no return springs, the pads ride on the rotor. How do the cars handle this way? I do use ABS, but I try not to (except gravel), so it must be strange when rear...

    Car got hit again, tail light question

    So...my turn signals are clear, I think. The aftermarket replacement was pink, I complained so they ordered them from Honda by VIN. They called and told me it is done, but they are pink from Honda, and the problem is mine are faded. Like this: VS this: There appears to be much...
