    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Unless you plan to go over everything after the fact and had prior experience with shops like this and know what to look for, then No. I would not recommend this place. Its a judge of character not telling me that he destroyed the harness/stripped bolts etc. If he told me I would have just...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    TL;DR – Replaced Trans mounts and one motor mount, poly filled them for a little stiffer feel. NO VIBRATIONS!!! Guy messed up my O2 sensor harness and tried to glue/calk it back together, replaced. Pics below. Alright this may be a little winded. Well it’s been about a week or so since the...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Thanks! I'm around this area, I dont like the front lip without the rest of the lip kit to match. The $$ for a full lip kit that isnt too flashy is why I remain lip-less. If I came across a inexpensive lip kit I may do Front and Rear plus 01-02 side skirts but thats low on the to do list...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Just throwing up a shot of the milage when I dropped it off for the transmission work. 216,160 on the original V6 transmission. Still have the original never rebuilt J30 running strong, hopefully for much longer...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Thanks, Red. I checked it when I picked it up and gave it a once over/test drive. I couldn't imagine it sitting at a shop for so long! I could barely go 4 days and I called him constantly each day, haha. Good luck with your build though. Looks like you are going all in with it. Its been a...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Picked up the car last night, happy to have it back. He told me the rear trans mount is broken and needs replaced. Decided to order both front and rear Anchor brand mounts and do the urathane fill on them. Should be here by tomorrow and fill them for install this weekend. Shifts a little hard...

    DIY cold air intake, CAI (PICS & Video!)

    without the pickup tube going into the bumper you may be drawing in under hood heat. Did you use the same filter? or K&N drop in?

    Major clutch problems

    Sounds like an internal leak in either the slave or master. How many miles are on the clutch that's in there?

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    One positive thing about the shop is that its in an auto district so it shares a parking lot with 3 other shops. Looked like they keep an eye out for each other for the most part (fingers crossed). He initially told me 3 working days to complete it and they work through Sunday. However, He said...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Well, the CG has been at the transmission shop since Sat morning. Super ghetto area in LA (45 minute drive from me). The "shop" only has outdoor parking overnight and is directly under the freeway. As a precaution I took out my sound system and other valuables to be safe. Didn't think to put the...

    Seafoaming a 140,000k V6

    I did it around 210,xxx miles ran a little rough for a few days as I assume the spark plugs were de-fouling. After that it ran a little better, for sure idled much smoother. Totally makes sense. I just let it burn off for a couple days. Haven't had a car that ran significantly worse after...

    Seafoaming a 140,000k V6

    You can use the standard seafoam bottle and do what I recommended in post #3. Never had to do anything with the spark plugs, nor did I have any issues with them.

    Seafoaming a 140,000k V6

    Ive done it to many cars as well as my v6. I do a third can in each. Oil, gastank, vacuum line. I usually put it in the oil about 500 miles before the next oil change is due.

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Thanks, Red. Definitely going to do a thorough test drive before any payment is made to make sure I don't have any signs of foul play or similar symptoms to a failing trans. I am getting an already rebuilt unit so hopefully its not just a used one, which I've seen done before. I plan to inspect...

    Spacemonkee's '00 AV6 4door (No 56K)

    Well, kids. It looks like I'll be having my transmission rebuilt this weekend. Have a guy in LA that is going to do the whole job for $1350 out the door! Couldnt pass it up. No J32 6MT for me quite yet :( $800 for the rebuild $150 for the new Torque Converter $300 for labor $100 for charging to...

    White instrument panel LED bulbs (twist lock)

    Sorry man. Precison LED has them in 6000K or 8000K. Thats the only other one I have used before other than super bright LED.

    Jordan_H's 98 Accord Sedan EX (56k)

    Well, the TDC sensor is in the distributor. I wouldn't count out the Crank and Cam position sensors. I would assume you would have pulled specific codes for these. Definitely test with a different Dizzy, obviously move onto the other sensors if it fails to fix it.

    Aftermarket ebrake handle

    You could go get a junk yard one and mod it. Then you can swap it over so you dont risk ruining your original one.

    California Meet 2016

    Dang! I wish I thought of posting it up there sooner. You would have been a great addition CD. Next time we will get it up everywhere sooner. BTW- Obviously I just did a last minute post on DriveAccord and V6P. Too short notice for most now, I'm sure. DriveAccord link...

    California Meet 2016

    I still plan on going, might bring my kids and a buddy. My only concern at the moment is my transmission. This week alone it has gotten 10x worse. Half the time now it wont shift into 4th but hangs inbetween 3&4 like its engaged both gears, feels and sounds terrible. Slipping has gotten worse...

    How do you replace the sunroof drain pipe?

    I havent replaced one but I while you are in there make sure there are no clogs. Clear out the entire draining system. The PO could have cut it due to a clog that was causing issues.

    Eld

    Hook up a scan tool and see if it throws a P1298 for the ELD. Its a soft code so it wouldnt turn on the CEL. Sounds more of a parasitic drain somewhere. I would do a amperage test at the battery to see how much you are draining with everything off... Make sure you use an ammeter or DMM and hook...
