    somebody1's 1999 Accord V6 coupe RIP

    I was on the inside lane, and a car on the curb lane, stopped and "waved" for a car in the parking lot to turn left, he turned into opposing traffic, and hit me head on. When you drive, don't be nice, follow the right of way. Sent from my iPhone using VTEC

    somebody1's 1999 Accord V6 coupe RIP

    Well it's been a good run, had her for a full 8 months, it was hella clean, top to bottom. I was saving up for the j32 swap, but I guess that will never happen. Front end collision. Sent from my iPhone using VTEC

    Cannot shift, windows and locks out

    You said the body and pedal shakes, what pedal? It should go without saying but make sure the bolts on the motor mounts are properly torqued

    Abs code 53

    Okay so I just bought a 99 accord, and the abs light has always been on. So I pulled code 53 off of the dash. Then today it started to pour down rain, so I took my accord out for a drive and intentionally got the wheels to lock, except instead the ABS light turned off and the ABS starting...
