    Is there a way to bleed the ABS system?

    that diagram isn't to scale :lawl: and it doesn't make sense because you always start with the longest line first. you do the shortest one on the car first, the front left, the pedal could be firm with no bubbles appearing by the time you do the right rear...even though there's still air in...

    Is there a way to bleed the ABS system?

    theres no need to mess around with doing anything special...it's literally just bleeding them as normal since the ABS pump only modulates the fluid when it's kicked on, and we dont have a discrete ABS reservoir. start with the wheel furthest from the master...dont know whats with that diagram...

    Anyone tried to double seal the doors?

    mass = quiet, no two ways about it. dynamat is light, comparative to mass loaded vinyl, and a terrible noise barrier. lead is amazing but heavy and unwieldy, plus the whole cancer thing. glass is great, too (the reason why ****box cars have thin glass while luxury cars have double-pane glass...

    Need help can i fix this? how much? should i buy it?

    how are we supposed to help? its an 01-02 EX V6 coupe with a busted up front end and hail damage. that's all i can tell from 2 crappy pics. fixing the front end hoodrat style could be done for probably $300...fixing the whole car right, add another 0 on the end. but then there's no mention of...

    Mugen Floot Mats

    $200 floormats? :rolleyes: i could bring up fixing the fender first like everyone else already has... mugen made like 5 parts that fit these cars, but they're all universal like oil filters, air filters, 4x114 wheels, etc...nothing specifically for the US model 6th gen.

    How do you adjust belt tension?

    should have asked him if the spark plug tube seals needed replacement or not, since he would have had to take the valve cover and middle timing cover off to check the "drive" belt tension...would have been a good trolling moment :lawl: i'm in the habit of saying "i know there's a CEL/front...

    Low Idle after wiring upgrade

    ok, the ring terminals are the normal, flat ones. those conform to curves and such. which battery terminals, then? for measurements, you want impedance/resistance to be low...under 1. voltage/DCV should be over 12 for the static battery, and well over 13 when running. i have the...

    Low Idle after wiring upgrade

    now its narrowed down to bad connections and/or bad battery terminals. pics of the ring terminals and battery terminals would help, as would pics of the ground locations themselves. first step is to set the meter to ohms, and most are marked with a setting called "10" or something...

    Low Idle after wiring upgrade

    measure the resistance of the grounding point, then measure the voltage of that point with the car running. heck, measure the resistance of the wire itself just to be sure (wire does corrode and break down internally, after all). it really sounds like a voltage regulation issue...that is...

    Low Idle after wiring upgrade

    have the car running at operating temp, turn on the headlights and A/C, then shift and see if the idle dips or not.

    Weird squeaking noise coming from the front passenger side when...

    2 more days on it shouldn't be too bad...just watch out for potholes. if you change it yourself, look and feel around inside the knuckle and the lower control arm to see if there's any rough spots or if either surface is no longer round (you basically hit the cast iron parts to loosen the...

    Weird squeaking noise coming from the front passenger side when...

    if its making noise, its moving around, so its bad. since the boot is intact, that only means the grease hasnt gushed out. my old upper control arm sitting in the garage has a perfect boot, but the joint has play which was making noise. from experience, a bad upper sounds nothing like a bad...

    Weird squeaking noise coming from the front passenger side when...

    if there is excessive movement in the joint, yes. jack up the car and grab the bottom of the tire and shake it...if there is any looseness, then it needs to be changed. but i change balljoints if they make noise or have even a little bit of grease on the boot. look under the car and...

    6 3/4" fit?

    easy fit, you wont need to cut anything but a 5/8" or 3/4" spacer if the speakers dont come with one that will work. the cutout diameter is only 5 1/8" so that's child's play :lawl: or go to car-speaker-adapters.com or search on ebay if you dont mind waiting a couple weeks for a pair.

    Correct LED beam angle for door courtesy lights?

    i believe mine are 120 degree, and they are adequate. anything with 200+ degree coverage will probably end up looking dim (that is, a single LED with a visible "spread" of that much).
