    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Nice. So pathetic we haven't come up with a better way to clear our roads here in the winter. Drives me nuts. Check out this clearcoat fixing vid: I replaced my catalytic converter once, I found a OEM spec bolt on one (didn't want the weld type) and iirc it was from Magnaflow and way cheaper...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    ^I don't see any rust? So it's got that going for you. But yeah that clearcoat looks like it's failed everywhere. It may not need repainted, potentially just sanded and re-cleared. And it would then look minty. Could do seat covers on the front seats until you save up for reupholstering. Or...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    ^I would love to sit here and say the car is practically pristine. Buuut that is not the case, sadly. There are a few rust areas, there are even more clearcoat failure areas. But at 217k miles I suppose it could be worse. I never repainted it. The only main body panel that got new paint after I...

    Shutoff while Driving

    Ah I was going to say ignition switch. Guess you could have gotten a faulty one, albeit unusual. Hmm...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Got the car back after getting the power steering high pressure line replaced (leaking), power steering pump replaced (leaking & grinding noise), & while I was at it I got the clutch fluid bled & fresh fluid put in. I pulled off the bulb plugs for the rear sidemarkers & used a needlenose pliers...

    First post!!! Wheel help!!!

    Those can fit with some work, depends on what you want to get into. This guy's pics are broken but his specs are only 3mm different in offset, and he listed what all he used to run his setup. Maybe some help...

    ABS Light

    You could try going on a Honda FB page and asking if there are any kind techs who work at a dealer and would charge you little to nothing to read the code real quick. I had the fortune of finding that luck with an issue I was having with our Toyota Venza, guy on a Toyota FB page responded to my...

    Wheel Fitment Thread

    ^What is the wheel width? And is the car lowered or stock height? If you are talking about those 11G Civic wheels from the other thread, they won't rub. Lots of people ran 17x8 +45 TL wheels with 235/45/17 tires with no issue. +50 is even higher and I assume those Civic wheels aren't more than...

    1999 Accord Coupe Question

    Headers won't actually help much with sound. Try to find an AEM V2 cold air intake, best induction noise for the J30 imo. And then an exhaust if you want more.

    Mikey's 2001 Sedan EX

    I never replaced the door stoppers in my coupe either. I did replace the driver door one (with an OEM unit) in our 2010 Odyssey right after we got it, annnd it's already worn down and no longer does its job. The door is pretty heavy, but feels pretty premature to have to do this again. It could...

    Buying Parts from India/Indonesia

    One of the things I used to do when looking for 6GA parts from other countries was change the specified country when searching on Ebay. Sometimes I'd find an interesting thing or two on Aliexpress but it was mostly miss. Other than that, you could try seeing if there are people in the Facebook...

    Maintenance Required light is just a service interval light that comes on at certain mileages according to the vehicle's designated schedule. It has to be turned off manually, there are instructions on this in your owners manual. If you don't have one, easily found online. It wasn't just these...

    If it has an automatic then that is the main thing with these cars I would say to look out for. Though if yours has made it this far then you might have gotten one of the good ones. I would change all your fluids if you don't know when they were last done. Do not flush the transmission, just...

    Lowering spring suggestions?

    Just keep in mind that for the car to not look awkward, the front end needs to be lowered more than the rear. Essentially you need to either buy springs that give a bigger drop in front than rear, or if you buy springs that give the same drop front/rear then you should buy adjustable shocks that...

    Auto Climate Control

    After you set a temperature and then push the 'auto' button I believe it's suppose to maintain that temperature in the cabin...so it will blower warmer or colder depending how the cabin conditions are changing. Not sure how fan speed factors in though, or doesn't. I feel like fan speed is always...

    Auto Climate Control

    1st world problems. :lawl: I get it though, I always felt it was unnecessary wear & tear on the system. ie. the blend doors. Was never sure if it was better to cycle through the modes fast so hopefully I'd avoid the doors having to move for modes I didn't want. Or if it was better to go slow...

    Undercarriage

    Your best best is probably to go find one in a junkyard. Some places they lift up the cars using stacked wheels or wood. The yard near me does that and there is a couple feet for you to get under them. If that's not an option hopefully someone here can help you out with a pic of their sedan's...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    It's been a long time since I looked for any parts for these cars. I came across these LED rear sidemarkers the other day, and it's actually a mod I had planned on doing way back when but never got around to it. All the "crazy" LED upgrade ideas/projects we used to talk about back in the day are...

    Bumper cover looks good. All the bulbs in my cluster work, except for the CEL. I should probably fix that one. :lawl:

    302 swapped 6th gen

    As far as I remember, most if not everyone stuck to other Honda engine series for any swaps. The wildest attempt I ever saw was a guy swapping a C30 (NSX motor) into his Accord. Unfortunately he stopped posting at some point. I am sure somewhere someone has done a V8 swap, likely with an LS...

    Reversed Polarity of the battery

    Hopefully any fireworks were minimal. If you don't have a phone or a flashlight, then before hooking up any cables to either car, flip on the jumper car's headlights and lay out your jumper cables so when you turn the lights back off everything is already lined up where it needs to go. And...
