    CBO's 99 Accord EX sedan thread

    Hey guys. Haven't put on the wrap yet but I just recharged my AC refrigerant and then did this project today. I've recently started racing BMX so basically thats my life right now, and I'm tired of jamming my bike in the back seat. So... Bumper off: Cut off recovery hook. Bought...

    condensor fan not turning on

    I had bought a 20oz can of 134a that came with a reusable guage. As soon as I put in a 10 second long shot of refrigerant the fans kicked on and the compressor clutch activated as well. Apparently it was bone dry. I put in the entire can and got a reading of about 28psi. I thought I had to get...

    condensor fan not turning on

    Oh ok thanks for the reply. I'll put in refrigerant tonight and jump the fanswitch. Might just replace the thermostat anyways. My engine bay always seems super hot I wish the fan would come on sooner. Honestly I cant recall seeing/hearing it ever come on. I have a highway trip coming up sunday...

    condensor fan not turning on

    Last year my AC was frigid. This is year it sucks. I noticed the cooling fan is never on, and the condensor fan also doesnt turn on with AC on. But my car doesnt over heat. it stays below half way so far even today in 80 degree heat at a stand still. I hooked both fans up to the battery...

    The gloss carbon fiber wrap showed up. It looks like a high quality wrap. I'm excited to put it on. :) the rear struts I put on make a huge difference. Nice ride. I definitely reccomend the Monroe's as a stock replacement. Now that the rears are done I realize how bad the fronts are too...

    CBO's rear strut replacement (full write up)

    An expensive tool to buy for a job that doesnt require it. I rented one when I had trouble removing the strut before I discovered loosening the sway bar. I thought I could compress it enough to slide it out, but couldn't. The bolts on the tool stick out just as far, lol. I was beyond frustrated.

    CBO's rear strut replacement (full write up)

    In my opinion the strut replacement link in the "DIY master list" sticky is missing key information necessary to actually remove and replace the strut. Here is a FULL write up for the i4 sedan. ::: Caution, wear gloves, use eye protection, and make sure vehicle is firmly supported when...

    CBO's 99 Accord EX sedan thread

    Ok, so I got beef with the "DIY master list" post on this site. This one...: The write up for strut replacement is garbage. It left out several key steps and information needed to do the job. My experience tonight was terrible as a result. And I'm no stranger to wrenching, I built a rock...

    Yeah the suspension rattles really loud over bumps it is super annoying! The rear is worst so I'm starting there. Front probably needs it too. I'm definitely getting a little excited to make some more improvements. :)

    CBO's 99 Accord EX sedan thread

    Well the paint on my hood is fading slightly so it's time to learn how to wrap. Just bought a 4'x5' piece. There is a small dent/scratch I'll be filling in as well so it will look perfect when wrapped. I also stripped the paint off of the wheels. The paint was hiding some serious...

    Our law in nebraska is 35% front and 25% rear, but oh well.

    CBO's 99 Accord EX sedan thread

    Thats awesome dude. However I am not a fan of my wheels. They were painted when I got them. I think black would look good with a different rim but these look silly I think. I want to get 17's but just can't justify dropping that much money on vanity. Here's a pic of the shifter back in with the...

    I reccomend just shortening it if you haven't welded before. It'd be hard to screw that up. But moving the linkage point is more difficult.
