    Car ignored and rotted for 4 years. Lets put it on the road.

    pulling the fuse doesn't work on my car, i have a newer module that puts the highs in series, if you pull the fuse the headlights don't switch and the DRL light comes on. i dont know if its that way because its a canadian 2001 model, or if it was done by the previous owner when he installed the...

    Car ignored and rotted for 4 years. Lets put it on the road.

    Car is roughly 350,000kms, between the previous owner and now its gained about 80,000. I solved the headlight problem by tapping a wire to where the left headlight relay plugs in. Its negatively switched direct from the light stalk, so a simple relay at the battery to send power to the new...

    Car ignored and rotted for 4 years. Lets put it on the road.

    Spent the day on it yesterday, new tires, new rotors and pads, new fluids, new battery. There was an old squirrel nest on top of the engine, pulled apart the whole air intake as a precaution and found nothing. Started it up and took it around the block, I have a cracked flex pipe and both CV...

    Car ignored and rotted for 4 years. Lets put it on the road.

    I bought the CG2 in 2013 and drove it for a few years, then I got a new job and a new project car, so I parked it in the back yard and ignored it ever since. Maintaining an S60R is a goddamn nightmare and costs a literal fortune (spend a few grand, drive it for 2 weeks, repeat for years). I had...

    New used car: Electrical Nightmare

    Pardon my bumping my own post, but the vast majority of electrical problems have now been solved. All the wiring has been repaired, and the car is like-new again. I did manage to blow my new alarm-starter though, my ebay headlights shorted, and despite blowing the modules onboard fuse, it...

    List one mod, that you feel not many people did, that fits your lifestyle

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    Added an aftermarket alarm/starter to replace the nonfunctional unit the previous owner installed. Wiring aux1/2 to control the sunroof and windows remotely. It was a pain figuring out the relays because I need the alarm-starter module to pulse the accessory timer before attempting to control...

    V6 manual tranny swap questions

    Hey everyone. I've been searching all over and found lots of yummy information but, everyone seems to be suggesting an 97-99 acura CL-S. Is this the only option? Or does the 7th gen accord MT fit? Are there any others at all that may fit? 5-speeds too? Or only 6-speeds? [edit] and what is the...

    New used car: Electrical Nightmare

    The alarm I cut out was an older AS-4040 module. You know, with the 2-button generic remote and the very ugly dipole antenna with a range of about 10 feet. Interestingly enough it had a transponder with a blank (but programmed) master key hidden inside the module. Combined with the fact that the...

    New used car: Electrical Nightmare

    Sorry to bump my own post but the majority of the problems in my previous post have now been solved. It turns out the clock/backup fuse was LOOSE (and i swear I checked it a hundred times and it wasn't popped, leading to sooooo much frustration) causing the passenger mutiplex unit to stay off. I...

    OEM radio to something else

    I just got RID of a double-din unit. I cant stand those touch-screen interfaces.. when driving you definitely need tactile feedback! That being said, ANY sony or pioneer headunit is pure love, especially the newer ones with sub outputs.. FYI mutiple aux inputs, bluetooth and USB support is a...

    Lucas stop slip, anybody tried it?

    I read a TSB from Honda that says "automatic transmission fluid conditioner" is an acceptable, and recommended method for treating slipping and hard shifts for aging transmissions.

    New used car: Electrical Nightmare

    The car is in great shape now. I changed the head unit and all the rotors and pads, and its riding smooth. Only critical problem now is the passenger side muliplex unit which is now totally fried. Symptoms i'm currently experiencing are as follows: -Cannot control passenger window from driver...

    New used car: Electrical Nightmare

    253,000 km (157,200 miles) I cut out the alarm module (one of those generic AS-4040 modules) and the car still started, meaning the modules starter kill wasn't wired properly anyway. Currently the factory system is doing its job properly. Eventually I will put in a DSE 2-way FM system with LCD...
