    Finally starting my retrofit w/ custom switchback turns

    I have had the parts lying around for way too long and after many design changes, I have gotten around to starting my retrofit. I guess I got sick of having the parts consuming my "project room"...I figure starting this thread might also help keep me on track a bit better. In the same vein as...

    Custom License Plate Light (LED)

    My latest addiction involves ordering way too many LED/circuit components and figuring out where to use them. There is actually something to be gained in doing what I did here; ultimately I have plans for some LED work on my headlights (w/ retrofit) and eventually the remaining lights (tails...

    Interior Update (finally!)

    So, as usual, this is a project that started innocently enough. I saw a thread here about a Redline Goods custom center armrest replacement cover. While I was there, I also ordered a new shift boot for my PSPEC shifter. The center armrest console and shift boot was quickly the tip of the...

    TL Leading/Trailing Arms (Rear) and Bushing Replacement (No Press)

    My girl is coming up on 196,000 miles and I haven't replaced any bushings, etc to date. So I figured I'd start with the leading and trailing arms in the rear. Given that the TL (2004) is a close cousin, I figured I'd try these parts. I thought they might be thicker (they're not) but at least...

    LED Brake Bulbs, No Load Resistors and No Brake Light Indicator!

    I think this is the right forum for this info. I had changed to LED brake bulbs from Super Bright a while back. I knew I'd run into the constant brake light indicator (under the temp/fuel gauge). Since my inspection is around the corner, I didn't want any extra lights on the dash; especially...

    FS: Custom Radiator Stays for use with Mishimoto Radiator

    Note: I no longer have any sets available for sale. Custom radiator stays for use with Mishimoto aluminum radiators and our 1998-2002 Accords. These radiator stays are for use with the 94-97 Accord Mishimoto radiator. The bottom studs fit perfectly in the 98-02 chassis but since this radiator...

    ThermoBlock Gaskets for F23A1

    I wanted to see if there is any interest in ThermoBlock phenolic gaskets among the 4 cylinder owners. There is not currently a set available for our cars. I emailed them about whether it's possible to have gaskets cut for cars other than listed on their site and they replied: I don't know if the...

    Questions re: Magnaflow Catback system

    Well, it turns out the CEL code is 67 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold) and that cat itself is rattling. A few years back, I hit my cat and the shield needed replacing. This sounds exactly the same but I wasn't able to change the sound by touching the shield (with a broomstick). This...

    DIY: Molding your own emblems

    Back in January, I tinted my emblems with spray tint. I only ever got around to installing the front emblem. Well, this is what the emblem looks like now: Of course, this isn't quite what I wanted. I tried painting a few new emblems with wheel paint but was never happy with the result...

    DIY: "Black chrome" and carbon fiber front emblem

    I was originally going to simply spray tint my emblems. After prepping the original front "H" that was on my car, I noticed the black plastic back was rather nasty. I know it won't stay nice but I wasn't going to put all this work into painting only to back it up with this: Then I...

    Window Regulator and Glass Run Channel Replacement

    This is most likely one of the more bland DIYs you've seen. It's what I'd call a "practical" DIY as it's got nothing to do with making your car look or perform better...;) Somehow the upper rear corner of the "glass run channel" gasket was being grabbed by the window whenever I raised the...

The kits are almost complete; he is waiting on delivery of some stainless parts in January. From the sounds of it, the kits are waiting to go as soon as that part arrives. I...

    UltimatePedals.com custom pedals

    Since I couldn't render my car useless for more than a couple hours this weekend, I decided to finally install the aluminum pedals I had ordered from www.ultimatepedals.com. The price is a little steep ($200 for all pedals and a footrest) but the quality is definitely there. The pedals are...

    Neuspeed Sport low enough with 17s?

    I have a 2001 Coupe EX. The new wheels are 17"x7" with 225/45/17 rubber. I'll have to measure once my car is back from the body shop...(soon!)... :thumbsup: ...but I think there is at least 4-5" clearance over front and rear tires. Would Neuspeed Sport springs yield a pretty painless...

    9/30/2018: In the middle of swapping the engine (and a bit more) thanks to bad oil control rings. Yay! EDIT: All is good once again. After a close call with a fire in 2007, my girl is back... :thumbsup: ...and better than ever. "Coming Soon" Items: -Winter project: retrofit headlights...

    The wheels did me in...

    Hello all! For some reason or another I opted for winter tires when my M+S went bad last fall. Of course, I wanted wheels... :D ...that way I could justify summer tires. I had better M+S last year and got a taste of better performance (albeit, very slight). I have a 2001 Accord EX I-4...
