    Trunk lid struts?

    Is the car missing trunk springs, or are you just trying to do something different? I wonder about putting hardware in the water drain channels, might block them up too much.

    F23A1 Turbo Build (240hp Target) - Looking for Advice / Potential Hurdles

    Also search up threads by RedRussian, iHazSnail, & other 4cyl turbo cars to help supplement your info/build. I remember hearing the biggest hurdle was just very little aftermarket support for the F23 & having to piece things together.

    HVAC Help

    This sounds like an issue I had on my EX V6 coupe a while back and it was the blend door near the bottom of the dash in the passenger footwell that was not moving.

    Auto to manual swap

    Take a look at these 4cyl auto to 5spd manual swap threads, some info may be missing but they are a great resource and should tell you pretty much everything you need to know if you read through them...

    RedRyder's '06 E500 S211 Avantgarde

    I knew this when I bought it, but the key fob will not lock/unlock the doors, nor open the rear hatch. I tried changing to new batteries, nope. The little red light on the fob blinks & I was able to see the infrared light blinking when I look at the end of the fob through my phone camera. So it...

    Please Help

    Any codes? Does D4 light blink? If you've checked the solenoids & drained/refilled trans fluid, then my next suspect is clutch packs. With how touchy these transmissions are you could try putting in Honda ATF DW-1 instead, but I don't know how Amsoil's compares so maybe it's fine. Maybe try...

    PS every older German car I've been in always smells like crayons...why is this. Thanks man! One thing I'm not excited about is trying to keep a black car clean...

    RedRyder's '06 E500 S211 Avantgarde

    Thanks everyone, planning to go to the title office Friday. I hope to wash it & get photos sooner than later. Can I just say I feel so classy driving a car with a hood ornament? :lawl: Lol I tried to safeguard myself against the common stigmas associated w/European cars. I bought this from a...

    RedRyder's '06 E500 S211 Avantgarde

    Midlife crisis + rising need for 2nd family car that can haul all 6 of us resulted in this poor decision. :lawl: Most agonizing car search ever, but finally found one that seemed to be the best fit for my criteria. It was wagon or bust (already have a van & don't want an SUV), & the only...

    Ecu help

    Some salvage yards, like CoPart, ship their parts out so that could be an option. I guess you could try Ebay for an ECU as well, probably cheap on there. There is definitely a way to program things on your own, however I do not know what equipment that would be or what it entails. But if you...

    WTB: 2001-2002 Sedan OEM Accessories

    Very hard to find BNIB OEM accessories for these cars these days. There used to be a site back in the day called HandA-accessories, it was a gold mine of 6GA OEM goodies but sadly it is long gone. Gotta get lucky on Ebay or from other owners, or junkyards as you have. I looked the longest time...

    Acura Cl 2.3 - Cg6 chassis

    I feel like gen 1 CL seat compatibility has been discussed on here, but if you can't find anything then you could take some measurements of the mounting points in your car and then if you find a CL in a salvage yard take its measurements too. And if it's cloth I don't think there is any power...

    Ecu help

    If that doesn't work out, you could aways pull an ECU from a J30 car in a salvage yard and have everything reprogrammed.
