    F23A1 01 Coupe No reverse

    If you have no problems doing the work, go for the 5 speed swap. You'll need a manual ECU Clutch reservior and lines Shifter and cables Pedals Small wiring differences. You'll have to run a few wires...like the reverse light and stuff. I've done a lot of these on Del Sols and Civics. It...

    Failing Main Relay Causing Performance Issues - Do You Believe?

    Yeah, mine was intermittent. and now that I quit switching the old one back and forth, the lag / hesitation is completely gone. That was also days prior to me replacing the plugs and wires. So the only change made to the car was the main relay. Period. It's electromagnetic. I think when the...

    WTB: Another wtb thread - f23 parts / coupe parts

    **BE SURE TO READ THE BOTTOM COMMENTS ABOUT CASH / TRADING / BARTERING** Well, with two projects going now, something is going to have to take a hit. Luckily, the Accord isn't a lot of hardcore wrenching and fabricating. Just the fun of fixing it up and making a few, small alterations...

    Wanted - jdm f23 manual ecu

    Hah! I found that out, dude. Big time. I ordered an immo emulator that I'm going to solder into the ECU. I didn't realize they were such unicorns. Think I saw one in Malaysia..but screw that when an immo emulator is 15 bucks!

    Psychic-tomato's 2000 accord ex coupe - f23 5-speed

    I'm going to use this as sort of a diary for everything I do to to this car. I picked it up from the original owner about a month ago. A garage kept, 2000 Accord EX 5-speed. I currently own five Hondas. Two Del Sols, a 95 Coupe, a 99 Coupe and now the Accord as well. I've owned a plethora of...

    New To 6th Gen Accords / F23 Scene..

    Oh, dude, I can tell you crazy stories about the roads. I got a little house on a dead end street now..but I grew up on a main road and rented the house from my Dad later on for a while. There was a quarry near me and loads of semis would drive by three times a day. There were HUGE potholes...

    2000 Accord EX "Security" Disable.

    I got rid of my Immobilizer the other day. Took the chip right out of the ECU. Solved my no-start problems and I'm golden in that aspect. I plan on getting a JDM ECU in the near future so I can still read trouble codes. I still have the "security"...Flashing lights at my door locks, etc. I've...

    It is! Except for a couple dents in the body..there is a tiny bit of rust on the inside of the passenger, rear wheel well. Easy fix. It's just kinda' dirty from sitting outside the guy's garage for a month. Thanks on the leather. I'm going to treat it after I give it a real cleaning. It's been...

    Body work is fun, man. I actually like doing it. I need a welder, though. It's like the only thing I don't have. I want to be able to easily replace metal. That would be the shiiiiiiit.

    New To 6th Gen Accords / F23 Scene..

    I was joking about the free Accord with 300k+ miles. I was emulating the typical dude that wants 500 WHP for nothing. And usually on a worn out motor. I'm not into the slammed and camber setups either. A couple inches is cool. Otherwise, I'd be bottoming out every five minutes on these...

    New To 6th Gen Accords / F23 Scene..

    This was my favorite build so far. Not because of any spectacular power...but because I meticulously picked the parts to build the perfect No-Tec D-Series engine that would run as well as stock and be fun to drive. These days, though, I'd go F23 in a heartbeat. I've built dozens of D Series...

    You read my mind, man! The new guy scenario - The next score - Uncle's '99 Accord EX. For free. It has 332,xxx miles, bone stock (except for a super awesome, short ram intake), everything is original..including timing belt, water pump, clutch, etc. It never saw the inside of a shop or...

    Thanks, man. I have faith. I love the F23. The way it feels reminds me of a better, more powerful version of the 5SFE from the 5th and 6th gen Celicas. I only listed the Hondas I've owned. Hah.

    Failing Main Relay Causing Performance Issues - Do You Believe?

    Most main relay issues are black and white. The car either runs or it doesn't. However, I noticed something over the past 24 hours that has me wondering about some performance issues. This may be the key to undiagnosed problems. Believe it or not, I've never had a main relay issue with any...

    Hey, guys. Posted in “Accord Tech” already before making an introduction. I wasn't used to dealing with Immobilizer Units. I have quickly become schooled in the issue. Hah. I'm Certainly not new to Hondas...But new to this forum and 6th Gen Accords. Last month, I picked up a 2000 Accord EX (F23)...

    2000 Honda Accord - F23A1 - Manual - PHANTOM ECU

    UPDATE - I hate coming to threads when searching to find that they haven't been resolved with an answer. People who don't sew up the loose ends should be imprisoned. It wasn't a faulty main relay or main relay issue. I thought that I had possibly got a faulty relay from the parts store. Not...

    Wanted - jdm f23 manual ecu

    As title states, I'm looking for a JDM F23A / F23A1 Manual ECU The main reason is to get rid of the Immobilizer once and for all. Or point me in the direction of one. I've been searching...but only pulling up Automatic ECUs. Thanks!

    2000 Honda Accord - F23A1 - Manual - PHANTOM ECU

    Yeah, I've never seen a factory ECU fry. I've never even seen my chipped / modded OBD1 ECUs fry. Ever. I'm thinking it's the immobilizer unit as well. I could go get a key cut...or just order a JDM ECU without the immobilizer unit in it and call it a day. The key I'm using is the OEM key...

    2000 Honda Accord - F23A1 - Manual - PHANTOM ECU

    Here are some facts.. *When key is put into "on" position - *There is no CEL / engine light at all *The green key does not show up on the gauge area anymore. *The first half of the day, the radio didn't work. Now the radio has come back on when in "on" position *The fuel pump is not making...

    2000 Honda Accord - F23A1 - Manual - PHANTOM ECU

    Hey guys. No noob here. I've owned about 20 Hondas in my life. However, this is my first Accord and my first Honda that broke out of the 88-95 CRXs / Del Sols / Civics that I usually rock. I'm putting together a "hello and greetings" post but I've been lazy...and busy...and lazy busy. I'll get...
