    What are my options for fixing a transmission.

    I am having issues with my manual transmission again. Now, the cheapest solution I know is to get another one from the junkyard and swap it out over the weekend. I can find one for $400 easy, and if I am lucky I can get one for as low as $250. The thing is, I did this once before and it...

    Will I get a check engine light if my engine has detonation?

    Okay, the knock sensor is there to detect detonation, but will it throw a code? My car has an OBDI H22 engine with a chipped ecu. Would the OBDI ecu detect detonation and throw a code, or do I need to be running OBDII?

    Help. Can't engage reverse gear.

    Hey everyone. So my transmission decided to act up on me. I drove to a movie theater yesterday, parked the car. When I came out to drive home, I could not engage reverse gear. I now have to push the car out of the parking space each time I park. This is a 5-speed manual transmission we are...

    Semi Urgent. Bearing or axle problem.

    I need some suggestions before I give up and take the car to a shop. I recently took a big road-trip and came back with my car broken. So basically the car was driving fine, and then started vibrating a bit when I applied on the gas pedal. I had to drive the car home so with the miles the...

    Car broken into. Have insurance questions.

    Hey everyone. So. My car got broken into last night. Overall the bastards did a pretty clean job, so no broken glass or busted up body parts. But the end result is that my fancy stereo is missing, and the center console is all broken. I filed a police report, and an insurance claim already...

    Seats for a project car.

    Hey guys, maybe you had experience with this. I am shopping for seats for my project car (280zx.) I think I want to buy seats at a junkyard from some sports car. So far I have two options in my head. Seats from an RSX or from a Scion tc. I would rather get the RSX ones but they are pretty...

    Random Thought. Full size spare.

    This has been one of my random thoughts I have been having lately. It would be nice to have a full size spare tire in the car at all times. But. As I remember, even having the DX steelies in the wheel you will have the trunk cover sticking up and uneven. Has anyone figured out what size...

    Handling with no Front Swaybar.

    Hi, I am sure that this has been covered before, but I have trouble finding it. Wore out my polyurethane bushing on the swaybars and am currently in the process of replacing them. I have finished all the work on the rear sway bar, but the front is yet to be fixed. As of now, I...

    Thoughts on the exhaust.

    Ok. I know that considering what I posted about my transmission, I should not be talking about spending money on power mods, but I had this on my mind for a while. Basically, to make more power, my engine needs a bigger exhaust piping. The shop that tuned my engine suggested getting a 3"...

    Installing dash tweeters

    Can someone help me find nice instructions on how to replace/install the tweeters our cars have mounted in the dash. There seems to be very little space to try and get there, so I'm hoping people know some trick. (Although, I should really replace my windshield, so I might put in the tweeters...

    5th gear pops out. How screwed am I?

    Hey everybody. Have not been posting on this site for a while. Anyways, this started happening Friday as I was driving. The transmission would pop out of 5th gear into neutral on it's own. It will stay in if I stay on the gas and keep the RPM at more than 3k, but for low RPM or going on and...

    Urgent. Need ECU help on OBD1 H22a

    I need to get my car running under OBD2. I have a OBD1 JDM H22a. I'm trying to see if there is an ECU that can control my engine well enough. I had several people tell me that the 96 Prelude Vtec ECU will work. But nobody has confirmed this 100%! I have tested my engine with civic and...

    So I'm going to Rockingham PDX event this Saturday.

    Which is great cause I have not done any auto sport events for like two years now. Plus I have had lot's of upgrades to my car since the last time I went for AutoX (Mainly suspension, breaks and new engine.) I can't wait. But I have a question for all those that go to racing events. What...

    Quastion for all the PS3 owners out there.

    People who own a playstation 3. Do any of you use it as a media player, not just for games? I mean do you use it to play DivX and H.264 movies? And more specifically, does anyone use it to play music and movie files over the network from another PC. Basically I am looking for options to...

    Wrong forum, but for those who mess around with Computers.

    Did you ever try to play HD files on a slightly older machine? I got a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, and that should technically be enough CPU speed to play a 720P movie, but the result is either choppy is I play using VLC, or if I use Media Player Classic the sound runs way ahead of the picture. I...

    Idling problem

    So I think this is pretty much the last left over issue with my H22 that's left. (Well I need a tempereature gauge but it's not a problem yet.) The engine is kind of weird during idling. If the engine is cold, but running, the idle is fine. When the engine warms up, and I shift into...

    Can someone help me find a magazene article.

    There was an article out on used supercars that are cheaper than a Toyota Camry. It's pretty old. BMW 850 was one of the cars. Does anyone remember that?

    Do you guys report your mods to the insurance company?

    I'm renewing my insurance plicy, and I'm wondering if I should tell them about all the custom stuff I have. I mean they officially say that I should in order to get the parts covered, but they also insist on proofs of purchase and things like that. Do you guys report that stuff?

    What advice would you guys give about this.

    My friend is looking for a car. I helped her test drive a year 2000 civic. The thing is clean outside. Drives fine. BUT! The guy did not change oil in 10-15k miles (And he is the second owner.) The timing belt is new, but it seems as something iw rattling inside the timing belt cover...

    I had problems with the injectors on my H22 so I got new ones and a new chip to go with them from Xenocron, but I still have problems. 1)The new chip throws a code right away before even starting, and I can’t read it for some reason. 2)The engine is still a little rough, the idle is high...

    Please help me with my h22 wiring before I overheat!

    Hi. I finally had my power steering and my exhaust done, so the car became drivable. I had a bad connection on one of the injectors, but fixed that. The car still throws a code and maybe runs a little rich. But that's not my main issue. THe engine is clearly too hot, and the cooling fans...
