    Any Shops out there?

    In the near future, I plan on doing the full CL-S swap (motor and tranny). Anybody know of any shops in the Pacific Northwest that have experience with that type of thing? There are plenty of Honda shops that I know of in Oregon, but a lot of them HATE working on Accords. I'm pretty handy, but I...

    Tranny Failure

    Weird Noises, etc.

    A lot has happened today. First off, a dull humming is either coming from the motor or tranny that wasn't there before. And coming from the front left side of the car there is a hissing that seems to change when engine idle changes. The idle seems to fluctuate a lot. And to top it off, the oil...

    Terrible MPG

    In the last couple months, I've noticed that my V6 Accord has had a sharp decline in gas mileage. I've done the calculations and it's right around 12MPG city. :furious: The motor is currently at 212,XXX miles and I know that has an effect on gas mileage. But is there something that would have...

    98' Accord V6 vs 96' Honda Civic

    I wanted your guys opinion. My brother seems to think that his bone stock 1996 Honda Civic LX (D16Y7 non-VTEC) can beat my 1998 Honda Accord V6. I don't think so. What do you guys think?
