:::bows down::: awesome write-up!! Everyone appreciates your hard work... these write-ups are a pain but they truly do help others become more knowledgeable! (save a lil coin too!!! ) Turbo, I'm jealous!
Quick question... sorry, am still sort of a noob on posts. How do you get those huge...
Never used speedbleeders but looks like an awesome idea. At the shop had a suction bleeder that wasn't worth crap. It was always easier to ask my partner in crime to jump on the brakes.... as I would do the same for him. "uno dos tres, hold...".. "pump-er up"
just use the tow hook.. then put jack stands. I have been using that to jack up the rear of my Accord for 10+ years of ownership with no negative results. I mainly do this because I can't get my jack under the car to lift from rear/side lift points... tooo lowwwwww..

lol, forgot how mine broke... I just bought a new bezel off ebay for 40$... no one would sell the vents solo... Now I have an extra bezel with broken Left rudder.

Parts:
Blue “electric boxes” purchased from Home-depot. Approx. 2$ each.
Electric box caps approx. .80$ each.
55W HID kit purchased from SharpHID.com approx. 90$ (both fog-light kit and HI beam). completely plug and play!
I bought my 35W low-beam kit from these guys. User friendly site, great...
Did a flush to my Accord. I actually upgraded to the new Blue coolant instead of using the green when I did my timing/water belt. Also replaced alot of other seals while I had her apart.
I used a flush kit, drained coolant, replaced with distilled water/flush kit, ran for 10 min. drained...
