    Will my transmission break down soon?

    Whenever mine starts jerking or bumping it always ends up being a motor mount on the way out. If it happens when going forwards, it's the front mount. If it happens when going backwards, it's the rear mount. When I have good front and rear hydraulic mounts, I can beat the hell out of it and...

    High Mileage 6th Gens

    It's at 421286 now. In KM though. Only on its second transmission. Not bad for a J30! EDIT: it may actually be much higher, the cluster in the car when I got it was completely dead, and it was imported from the us so I have no mileage history to go by. I realize this is a 4cyl sedan...

    Timing Belt Broke

    If I were you, I would just get a low mileage scrapyard motor. I bet you can find one for less than 500 in a u pull it. V6 engines with low miles are in the classifieds here all the time for less than 750 bucks. The F23 should be even easier to find an cheaper than the J30. I paid $700 a few...

    Do we have vlsd?

    The diff is open. I think the only car that came from the factory with a j-series v6 and vlsd was the 03 tl-s, but don't quote me on that. At any rate, it was never the 6G Accord. All of them are open. An open differential will spin both tires if the difference in resistance between them is...

    Connie, a 2 year 280,000km love affair. Time for an upgrade?

    Trying to post up a few pics. You may ask "why the hell would anyone bother swapping that tired old peice of junk" Because how awesome would something that looks like that with North of 250 ponies be? That's why.

    Connie, a 2 year 280,000km love affair. Time for an upgrade?

    I have been starting to troll classifieds and the J32 with a manual is very tough to find for a reasonable place, J35 is even harder. 7G V6 Accords, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen; especially the sedans. I'm looking at long term drivetrain reliability here, and due to the inevitability...

    Do we have vlsd?

    We have traction control, which is probably what you're feeling. Our diffs are open. If you disable the ABS your traction control won't work either.

    Connie, a 2 year 280,000km love affair. Time for an upgrade?

    I hate the auto, so if I did it at all it would have to be 6 speed. I've already swapped the tranny once a bit over a year ago, and even the low mileage one that was installed felt numb and laggy to me. It's kinda like push the gas pedal, then hold on and ride the bull. Sometimes she bangs in...

    Connie, a 2 year 280,000km love affair. Time for an upgrade?

    I met Connie a little over 2 years ago. She was hidden inside of a snowbank and hadn't moved for 3 or 4 years. Her owner was leaving town, and was making a last-ditch effort to sell her before sending her to the scrapyard. Apparently, he said, because she needed a head gasket. $600 and...
