    New gauge cluster?

    I pretty much said the same thing on Drive Accord. In terms of how to solder, take it to any competenent car radio installer or electronics repair place, and they should be able to do it for you. https://www.driveaccord.net/forums/53-6th-generation/538389-new-gauge-cluster.html

    Enne's 1989 Honda Prelude Si 2.0 4WS

    Try O'Reilly's. I put in those part numbers, and they come up on their system. If your local store's warehouse has it, they can get it to the store same day.

    Gas smell

    The evap canister is right under the rear driver's side door. Normally, the valve goes bad on the canister, and you get a p1457 error code. There are Youtube videos that show you how to change it.

    Should I even bother....?

    The amount of time driving 3+ hours each way would be better spent getting a part time job to offset the costs of room and board. Like others have said, gettting roommates and offsetting the cost of rent and utilities would help too, but not all schools let freshman live off campus.

    Jacking up car

    You can safely jack up the car using the tow hooks, then slowly drop the car on jack stands using the factory pinch welds, as long as they are not rusty and straight. If you want to jack up both front wheels at the same time, there is a front jacking bracket between the front wheels and the...

    lug nuts and breaker bar

    Take the handle off your new jack, slide it over the breaker bar (for more leverage) and then loosen the lugs. Torque the lug nuts back to 85 ft lbs using a torque wrench. I have no idea which breaker bar you purchased, but you are going to need a 25 inch breaker bar and a little muscle to...

    So I might be trading Frankenstein, thoughts?

    That was the Saab 9-2x, a.k.a. Saaburu. It was a Impreza/WRX clone but with a different front end, tail lights and nicer interior. Powertrain was all Suburu. Saab enthusiasts were up in arms, because the ignition was on the steering column. The location of the ignition on the 9-3 and 9-5...

    Civic but not accord

    I know you didn’t have the most pleasant experience with your harness, but Yonaka makes a decent cat back exhaust for the 6th gen sedan (4 cylinder).

    Civic but not accord

    So what you’re saying is instead of hating actions caused by people, the brands they are using is the source of your scorn?

    Civic but not accord

    I also own Toyota, Hyundai and happen to own Apple products. I don’t go bashing/stereotyping drivers that own cars from manufacturers than Honda or other Android users. It’s nice to have competition and choices- keeps the manufacturers on their toes. Honda is not the only manufacturer that...

    Please stay away from this

    That stinks. It looks like it came with a lifetime warranty too, based on the Amazon description. I would reach out ot them and see what they say. The worse thing that can happen is they say no.

    Will you be able to get a refund or an exchange?

    1999 2Dr. Accord Market

    Sbuklad-Coupe of other things your parents should also consider-1) If the timing belt/water pump, timing belt tensioner has never been replaced, it should be done ASAP. If your timing belt snaps, the engine is most likely today. That will cost around a thousand dollars at the dealership. It...

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    Here are a couple of pics I snapped a month ago. The top is badly corroded, but the bottom of the rear subframe is still solid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    I am only going to replace the rear beam. I have a 4 cylinder, so no ABS sensor on my coupe. The subframe hasn’t snapped, but the top portion is badly corroded. The second mechanic said I could still drive it but to try to avoid potholes.
