    Power steering started going. Pump’s had a slow leak since I bought it. Don’t have the money or gumption to replace it so I just bought a few quarts of Honda fluid and a suction pump and just did a reverse drain & fill. Lol. Sucked out the reservoir, filled it with fresh, ran the wheel lock to...

    Power Steering Fluid??

    Not knowing if the previous owner cheaped out and put regular fluid in or if they went all out and put the good Honda stuff in… what should I put in? Will it hurt anything to use the “regular” stuff? Not changing/replacing/draining anything. Just topping off.

    AC Compressor Differences/Issue???

    Had a 2001 v6 coupe. All factory AC parts. Bought a 2001 v6 sedan. Needed compressor, drier, condenser, etc. Bought a compressor from O’reillys and a compressor from RockAuto. Was told by the shop that neither would work due to some special manifold needed on the compressor that wasn’t on...

    You’re talking about the “Patrick star” wheels, right? Like this? I’m *AT LEAST* 600 miles from Michigan so even if you gave me the wheels for free I’d still spend a few hundred bucks (and 2 days) in gas. Assuming they were free… I’d be down for a road trip

    Lowering it is probably on the list. Nothing aggressive. Just a functional low. They need a 60 size tire to help fill the gap. I really want some UA7 TL waffles, UA7 base wheels, or UA5 fat fives. Or find some better wheels for the GFs Camry so I can take my civic wheels back lol. I also...

    I did. Specs are 205/50/16. Stocks are “supposed to be” 205/65/15, so… quite a big difference. Especially up around 80 They’re 16s and I love the look but they need a taller tire. Le sigh…

    Found a guy selling a set of TL 5-spokes but they’re rashed all to hell. He only wants $225 but still… Found another guy selling some prelude blades.. Wants $300. Wheels are in pretty decent shape and 3/4 tires are nearly new and the 4th isn’t too bad. If I remember correctly they’re 5x114...

    Well… now I know lol. Buddy of mine has a 1G or 2G and I never really noticed how similar they are to the Camry of that era (2012-2017). Need to get on that! Shouldn’t be too terrible a job. At least I wouldn’t think it would be. Worst case a shop does that and won’t charge you an arm and a...

    If it were a dedicated project car and not the car I drive to work, I’d take my time and not give a ****. But it’s not. So I won’t. lol. I always use superbrightleds for what kind of bulb. I guess it depends on the stack but that could be fun. At least it’s the ody so you can sit in comfort and...

    :lawl: :uhoh2: THERE ARE NO MATCHING HEADRESTS!! At least I don’t think there are…. And I just said f*ck it. I fought with bolts, and clips, and plugs, and the damn drain plug for so long that I’m just gonna take it to a shop. I’m too old and out of shape to mess with THAT particular job. I...

    No word from the co-worker. Regardless, pretty positive my leak is the VTEC solenoid. I have all 3 gaskets to do it, the filter housing, and the sensor. Gotta procure a filter and oil. Getting OEM filter from Honda and going with Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w30. We carry 5w30 at work but it’s not...

    Low fuel light hasn’t worked since day one but no surprise. My coupe’s light quit after like 5 or 6 years of MY ownership. Saw someone on one of the Facebook pages just swap in a new sending unit and it fixed it. They’re less than $20 and not that difficult to do so I may add that to my list as...

    Did I mention the red lug nuts? A little more ricer to add in, lol. It’s subtle but I like it. I think brakes and rotors may also be on the list.

    Current mileage: 163,229. Right headlight looks to be aimed okay but the left one is too high. Hoping they have more adjustability than the previous set and I don’t have to live with blinding people all the time. Still wanna find the DOB of this one. I knew what my coupe’s was but I can’t...
