    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Got an oil change today, and decided to replace my dying Honda battery with an Optima Red Top. In the process of changing the battery, I found that the tie down J screws were really corroded and stripped. That meant leaving the Accord in the garage and taking my wife's CR-V to Beaverton...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Thanks for the props! I'm a bit on the fence on suspension mods. I like the stock spring rates, and I don't wanna screw up the alignment on my wheels that have expensive tires on them. I do agree that a drop of about an inch would look perfect! Maybe a Mugen lip will give me the look without...

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    While waiting for the proper funds to upgrade my brakes and stiffen my chassis, I receive these center caps in the mail from eBay. I thought they were cool looking knock-offs, but it actually turned out that these are genuine Honda parts (number 44732-S5H-MOO). I couldn't find what they were...

    Took her out on the only dry day this week and snapped some pics with my new Nikon D5500. I'm loving the new wheels more and more! Coming soon: Stoptech brakes and Eibach front sway bar!

    Thanks! Two were remanufactured, and two were from a salvage yard in SoCal. Those were the biggest surprise!

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Just got back from Les Schwab and decided to snap a quick pic in my work parking lot. I'm so excited to finally have these wheels on my ride! :headbang: So far the BFGs are a big step up from my crappy bald Fuzions. I'll take more pics when I have time.

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    It's been months since I last posted, and I made an exciting purchase! I just bought a set of 16 in. wheels from a 1999 Acura 3.0CL. I ordered some BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2 A/S (205-55ZR-16) tires from Les Schwab to wrap around these beauties. I've always loved the multi-spoke look...

    Brake Upgrade Options

    If I had a V6 with 5-lug wheels and hubs, I would definitely do that, but I have a lowly 4cyl with 4-lug wheels and hubs. I don't really have any desire to do a 5-lug swap, and I'm looking for basically a drop-in upgrade to the existing brakes. Were you talking about using TL calipers? Would...

    Brake Upgrade Options

    Not to revive a more or less dead thread, but what year Odyssey calipers did you use? I assume you didn't need to change hubs to fit the 98-99 3.0Cl rotors? My current stock brakes are starting to shudder a bit, and I was informed that my rear pads are pretty worn, so I'm thinking it's time...

    LED Brake Bulbs, No Load Resistors and No Brake Light Indicator!

    Thank you for this post! I was finally able to get rid of the *only* warning light in my CG! I have an '01 sedan, and the black box is kind of *in* the driver's side tail light assembly. I wish I took pictures, but the best way I can describe it is there is some insulating foam around the...

    Happy New Year everyone! It's been a very long time since I last posted. A lot of things have happened. I got married, moved, and got a new job. In addition to finishing my LED swap, I also added some 3M brake light tape to turn my gauge needles red on the cheap. If you look closely, you can...

    Windshield Washer Fluid Pump Stopped Working!!

    Hey all! Good to be back on the forum. I just moved, and had my champ parked for about a month in a friend's garage. I start it up, drive away, and find that my windshield washers aren't working. I pull off to listen for the pump, and no sound! The reservoir tank is full of Rain-X fluid, so I...

    Decided to snap a couple photos after washing her the other day.

    goldenchamp's '01 EX Sedan (5MT)

    Been a little while since I last posted, but after helping a friend with a dead battery, I decided to add a little bit of cheap protection to my battery. Here's the way it sat before I bought some felt terminal protectors and some protectant spray at O'Reilly. The total cost was less...
