    Car died, but perky again

    Nine times out of ten, when a 6gen Accord stalls while you are driving (as opposed to being unable to restart after you park), it is a fuel pump going bad. For a long time, my Accord idled a little low and rough (600 rpm), and often felt like it was going to stall while going around corners. I...

    whats the difference

    I have a JDM F23 also, and the improved throttle response is for real. The compression is slightly higher, and the head flows a little better. It is just a little more rev happy than the USDM engine. I also had no problem passing smog with it. I also used my original manifolds and dizzy.

    Need engine!

    Just go to one of the JDM engine suppliers and get a JDM F23. They are cheap, lower miles than what you can get here, and you get a slight boost in power. And in NV you don't need to worry about smog inspections.

    clunking sound

    Probably a loose brake caliper. The bolts in the calipers strip out and work loose sometimes, so that is what to look for. But you should also check the swaybar end links.

    Brand: Tanabe DF210 springs with Tokico Illumina shocks Purchased: $650.00 for everything from Ebay. Pros: Adjustable shocks, great ride on the middle setting. 2" drop in front, 1.5" drop in back. No boat look. Car just clears the driveway with an Apex WS2 exhaust. The drop...

    noob needs help!! TAKE THAT LOOK OFF UR FACE

    You should also go through the "Members' Rides" section, and look at the photos of the cars. Every car has a spec sheet at the beginning of the thread showing what wheels and tires the owner has (or wishes that he had -- read carefully). This will give you an idea how various wheel, tire and...

    Air Vent Control

    If the buttons on your climate control stop working, and the vents get stuck in one position.... You probably have a bad mode control motor. It is located in the driver's footwell next to the area where the back of the radio is. Once you slide down in there, it takes five minutes to change it...

    Hyperblinking signals

    You do not have to have a bad bulb or filament to get hyperblinking. I had that problem for a long time and I finally traced it to a very slightly loose connection between the bulb and the socket in the front turn signal. The connection was just loose enough that it would arc and the bulb...

    Lowering question?

    Autozone loans a spring compressor for a $60 credit card deposit, or will sell you one for the same price. You can do the spring/strut job yourself pretty easily, but you will need a shop to align the car after. If you lower the car 2 inches or less, then you will not need a front camber kit...

    Ebay projectors or reflectors

    + 1 on the OEM style blackhoused headlights from Ebay. I got mine from Watomi Racing, and used Silverstar bulbs. The Ebay lights cost me around $120 shipped if memory serves. They actually seem to have better reflectors than the stockers -- they throw longer and more clearly defined cones of...

    More Torque??

    Get a JDM F23. They are cheap enough. Out of the box you will get better throttle response and a boost in midrange torque that you can feel. Once you get it, port the head and intake manifold, and add a larger throttle body, bigger injectors, and a better fuel pump. Add I/H/E to this. In...

    Apexi WS2 or TANABE

    @snip33r: You can get the Apexi muffler and tip separate for about $200.00. However, the Apexi catback not only has that muffler, it also has a long premuffler just after the cat that looks like a glasspack. Without the premuffler, your custom built exhaust system may be a bit louder...

    fixing polyurethane tear?

    I found a tube of polyurethane adhesive in the paint/glue dept at Lowe's hardware. I got some tabs torn on my rear bumper a long time ago from a hit/run driver, and I can't get it any straighter without some glue work. I haven't used it yet, but since it has polyurethane as an ingredient, it...

    Car sputters when A/C is turned on

    Check for a loose drivebelt, and a loose crank pulley. My accord tended to bog and stutter and make a rattling noise with the A/C on but ran fine with it off. I figured the compressor was going bad. Then yesterday it threw the belts off the engine, and I found a loose and wobbly crank pulley...

    Good deal on rims + tires?

    You are basically paying $100 per rim for 4 good rims. Used tires make good swings for kids and monkeys, and a cracked rim makes a good base for a coffee table. For about twenty dollars more per rim, you can get some decent new rims, in the style of your choice. You would have to save up to...

    Suspension noise (video included)

    I had a lot of clanking and rattling coming from my left front suspension after doing shocks and springs, and after a lot of sleuthing, I found out that it was a bad brake caliper -- the caliper mounting bolts had stripped and the caliper was rattling around. I hadn't noticed it with the stock...

    Cheapest best 1inch drop.

    The cheapest one inch drop (other than three corpulent passengers) is to rent a spring compressor, take out your springs, get a hacksaw and take care of business. This is kind of tough on the stock shocks, though. You will like the H & R springs, but while you have the struts out you might...

    clanking noise

    I had the exact same clanking that you did. I first noticed it after installing Tokico Illumina shocks with Tanabe springs, and thought I had screwed up the shock install. After tearing down the shocks one more time, replacing the sway bar end link and bushing, and a lot of head scratching, I...
