    Accord 4cyl overheating...probably a leak or air in system

    I have had never had cooling issues on any of my cars so this is new to me. A few months ago, my car would overheat in traffic so I replaced the thermostat. I didn't really think about this at the time, but I was really low on coolant. In the past, when I changed my thermostat (I have owned...

    Free-Pioneer Pioneer AVIC-F900BT with some issues, pick up or plus shipping

    I just got a new HU with Apple Car play so I don't need this. It actually sounds better than the Alpine it replaced. It is a navigation unit, with built in navigation, that doesn't use your phone, which is good when you are out side of range. That's the good. The bad. Touch screen is...

    6 Gen Accord dilemma, what would you do?

    I have an 2002 Accord with 90k miles on it. It is a 4 banger, 5 spd. Though that number is low, this car has seen probably thousands of sub 1 mile trips. I also acquired a really nice S2000 that needs cosmetic work (new top and paint for about 1/2 the car, clear coat failed on original paint...

    Infinity Kappa 60.11CS 6-3/4" Component Speaker System, thoughts?

    I have 3rd Gen??? Infinty Kappa speakers I have owned for almost 25 years. For the most part, I liked them when they were working well, a slight bit harsh but nothing I couldn't eq out. They were green coned ones, for any who may remember. I probably wouldn't upgrade if these would last...

    HU Upgrade from a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT

    I have had a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT for like a decade or more. I feel it sounds better than the Alpines I had of the time, but it takes forever to start up, now the touch screen has issues. It had Bluetooth calling but no audio. Truth be told, I still buy CD's so until recently, I didn't really...

    Powerstop-Z26 Street Warrior Brake Kit??? Or similar???

    Long time member but have been out of the modding scene for a long time. First and foremost, I am currently on stock alloys and I do not want something that cannot fit stock wheels. I could see myself putting 17's back on, probably not my old ones, but it is very important I am not stuck with...

    Vinyl wrapping lip while matching color?

    Now that I have had a renewed interest in my whip, I need to repaint the front lip. Even on Pro Kit springs (with the front lowered an extra 1/4in), I scrape all the time. I don't even want to post pics of my driveway but an bad exit in a hurry and I have almost ripped my bumper off more than...

    "ghost logo" on shaved and maybe soon to be polished valve cover

    I shaved one of my valve covers a few years back. I ground most of it off, then used a belt sander to get it smooth. It looked good with paint, I swapped it awhile ago, have a little oil leak, considering going shaved. I was thinking this one would look nice polished. I didn't have much...

    Valve cover not sealing...long term issue

    I have replaced valve covers on plenty of cars over the years, never had an issue. I always use a torque wrench, etc. I shaved my original valve cover and thought I may have warped it as it was leaking. I replaced the gaskets after, and then a 2nd time before coming to that conclusion. I...

    Clicking noise under passenger side dash when AC/Heat is on.

    I tried to search but I wasn't able to find any solution. Sorry if this has come up. My car makes no noise if my AC/Heat/fan is on. As soon as I turn it on, it starts clicking. The clicking changes speed as the fan changes speed. It is right under the passenger side dash, around the foot...

    Aluminum HVAC knobs, any new developments?

    I just broke one of my HVAC knobs. I have wanted aluminum knobs forever. I know that the V6P ones are impossible to find but I wasn't a huge fan of those. I know Acura TL knobs work but you have to take off some metal. I was just wondering if there were new developments here. My...

    What are the metal things you put on steep driveways called?

    I am looking to move and the gutter in front of the driveway is pretty steep. All the neighbors have these metal things that let water under them but make the entrance less steep. I just can't figure out what they are called and where to get one. I know it's a simple question, I just can't...

    Looking for suede type fabric that doesn't fade

    I did my door panels and center console a few years ago in a black faux suede about 3-4 years ago. All my panels have become a dark brown except for my center console, which is becoming a light brown. It is really making my interior look way older than it is, not to mention that it's just not...

    Slight vibration at freeway speed...causes?

    I am having a slight but noticeable vibration at freeway speeds. It may exist at lower speeds but it isn't noticeable enough for me to be able to tell. I can feel my steering wheel move as well. It kind of pulses, if that makes sense. I kind of feels similar to a warped rotor, but less...

    Dual monitor setup-Emprex lm-1702 x2

    I have 2 Emprex lm-1702 flat screen monitors for sale. I am looking for $80 for the pair. I can throw in a graphics card that supports dual monitors as well (Radeon x3000se). Everything is in great condition, cosmetically and functionally. The only issue is one monitor is a slightly duller...

    Advice for fabric that won't fade...anyone?

    I did my center console and door inserts on my car only about 2 years ago. I used black suede and it is now light brown. It is obviously time for me to do it again. I haven't decided what material but it will either be a similar suede or a different color fabric (I may have my car match...

    Super durable black paint for bracket/suspension/etc...advice?

    This is actually not for my Honda but I am sure a few of you may have repainted some rusted parts over the years. I am looking for a black paint (I don't really want gloss but can deal with it, satin/semi gloss would be best) for a lot of brackets and probably some suspension parts down the...

    Need help purchasing something for video, major budget restriction.

    I don't know where to post this so if it should be moved, I apologize in advance. I am trying to buy a digital video recording device of some kind for a few things. The main one would be for interviews. I am hoping I can get something good enough where it could be used to make "budget"...

    Google Chrome word correction...horrible to others?

    Now that all browsers have word correction, I become worse and worse at spelling. In fact, I am pretty sure I have learned alternative spelling for words because of it, knowing I can just correct it. Anyway, I have been using Mozilla for the longest and one forum I frequent is having issues...

    Do they make "upgraded" mics for aftermarket nav systems?

    I tried to search around on google but didn't come up with anything. I was wondering if they make higher quality microphones for aftermarket navigation systems. I haven't narrowed it down to the mic but people say my phone sounds really distorted when using bluetooth. As an audio engineer, I...

    Squealing sound at low speeds...wheel bearing?

    My car makes a squealing sound at low speeds, basically what you hear from worn brakes. It doesn't happen while on the brakes, and it only happens at low speeds (5-10 MPH). Occasionally it will happen at higher speeds on left turns (35-45 MPH or so). It may do it at higher speeds on a left...

    Talontsiawd's 1971 Jaguar XJ6

    Some members already know about my whip, many don't, I decided to start making a thread so people could see it, to keep track of progress, and to stay motivated. One thing about this project, it doesn't have a deadline, it doesn't have a budget, it doesn't necessarily have an ending. It is...

    Semi Rant-Shipping

    Maybe I am not getting something but I bought something on Ebay. It was shipped from San Jose (1 hour away). Then, it shipped to Oakland (10 min away). Then it shipped to Memphis, TN (33 hours away driving). I am not even mad that it's going to take longer, I just don't exactly get the...
