    black housing headlights?

    ^ This. I have Nokyas in my DRL/high beam housing, and the yellow reflection off the buckets is enough for me. Will try and get a pic.

    Flex Pipe Diameter?

    Hi guys, I'm having trouble finding this info online. I want to replace my leaking flex pipe with a standard piece I can get locally for cheap instead of ordering and shipping in the larger complete flex pipe with flanges. I can't find the diameter anywhere online though. I can't get my...

    Why the heck is it so hard...

    Got a set here as well - sorry if it seems like we're rubbing it in :Boo: As far as I know, Nissan Sentras and S13s share our bolt pattern (assuming the 4x114.3 bolt pattern is what's holding you back). Good luck!

    Problem: Re-Installing Transmission Mount

    Hi guys, Here's the bad boy I'm working on. My 2001 5-speed: I replaced the driver's side motor mount without a problem. After some disassembly, it appears I can't replace the transmission mount without dropping the trans, something I'm not equipped to do right now. Now I'm...

    Cg3 5spd rpm hanging

    I second cleaning the throttle body. Also, what do you consider high idle? When my car is cold it idles around 1500-1600 rpm.

    Why not replace the synchro then?

    Tire size/brand recommendations?

    195/65/15 is the factory size to the best of my knowledge. A 205/65 will have a larger outer diameter, and may confuse the wheel speed sensors/ABS. Considering the low mileage on your other tires, I would only two with the same brand and size tires as on the front.

    DIY: Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

    Thank you for this DIY - I'm finding it very helpful as I swap a rear wheel bearing/hub on my car. I ran into the same problem OP did where the race decided not to come out with the rest of the hub - I don't have a dremel, and there isn't an electrical outlet in my apartment's underground...

    How many miles does your accord have?

    If it doesn't need a new engine, don't put one in. Especially if you're trying to sell it. The merits of a used car with a different engine are questionable, at best. To me, the majority of the time a car with a non-original engine means that the first engine wasn't maintained appropriately.

    Replacing coilovers - FF2 or koni yellow?

    Koni Yellows are rebuildable - if you can get the sleeves unseized, that may be the most cost-effective way to go while still remaining with a good quality suspension.

    Aman's 2001 5MT

    Well, I think my car is just interesting enough to have its own thread. I won't call it a build, since I really don't have an end goal or a particular list of things I want to do. I'm going to try my best to put things in chronological order. I bought the car in November of 2014...

    Brake Line leaking

    Do the brake lines start down at the bottom of the driver's side strut tower?

    Clutch Slave Cylinder Replacement - Mishap

    Last question, I promise: This is how the clutch slave cylinder/clutch fork look when the clutch pedal isn't depressed. Does this mean I need a new clutch? That's what my mechanic said. That boot should be completely snug when the clutch is engaged/pedal not depressed. Just looking for a...

    Clutch Slave Cylinder Replacement - Mishap

    Welp, this car seems eager to prevent me from fixing it. My current challenge is with part #3 in the picture below. The clip holding the master cylinder to the clutch hard line: Taking it out was a nightmare. Reinstalling it is like something out of a Stephen King novel. How did you...

    My 2001 EX Coupe

    Interested to see results! Another option too is to maybe put it in the bend itself - the straight portion between the two bends? Maybe it'll fit?
