    !!urgent!! Need a shop in socal to do 6spd swap!

    In the Lake forest area I know there are a lot of tuning shops that would probably be willing to do it as long as your wallet is. I take it you do not want to do it yourself. Ive never done an auto to manual swap and I would imagine it is a lot of work but the accord is a pretty simple car

    Can't adjust valves after head job

    ok so i figured it out. the right intake rocker arms have a gold piece(idk what its called) on them and those were the ones not adjusting. I think they have something to do with vtec, not sure, but they were preventing those valves from opening because i didnt install them right. I fixed it...

    Can't adjust valves after head job

    Well everything looks like its bak together right. would timing being off cause something like this? I can do the work if I know what needs to get done but i dont know what needs to get done so this is a bit frustrating. So say I didnt put something back right, what would be your guess?

    Valve adjustments for increased performance?

    Ok so I did the valve adjustment on my car but I really couldn't understand when exactly the valves needed to be adjusted. I did it one time started it up and I slowly brought it up to 3k rpms and it didn't sound right. I took it apart and looked at a million people trying to explain when they...

    f23 turbo questions

    Thanks for all the replies. I came up on a turbo for free but it needs to be rebuilt because it has in/out shaft play. Has anybody here rebuilt one before? I hear its expensive to get them rebuilt but buying the rebuild kits isn't bad. Not quite sure what trim turbo it is but its a garrett...

    f23 turbo questions

    Well thanks for the responds. I read your link and it has a lot of info but its hard to take in so much info so fast. Would it be a bad idea to use a sidemount intercooler if I'm using low boost?

    f23 turbo questions

    So I have tried to do my best looking around and reading but I am still kind of in the dark about how to know whats compatible with what when building your own kit. I see that there are different size turbos but can I just use any size turbo on my car as long as I can fit it in the engine bay...

    question about rubbing tires

    o and another thing. if i was to roll my fenders and say it made them less likely to touch yet at times maybe they would still touch, would that be dangerous for my tires? instead of having a flat surface touch it would now be thin and more sharp. i feel like it would be more likely to pop
