    broken manifold stud

    hey I was just wondering if anyone else has had this (possible nightmare) problem before? one of the studs for the exhaust manifold broke, luckily level with the flange and not the cylinder head... I've been working at a honda dealership for almost 3 years and I've never seen a 6thgen do this...

    FS: K24A1 short block

    K24A1 out of a CRV with about 120K miles. kind of bare, what you see is what you get. I was planning on buying a 7thgen and had set this aside just to have as a project motor. unfortunately I've had a few setbacks recently, gotten myself into some debt, and now there is no way in hell I will be...

    misfire at idle when A/C is on?

    Not sure if anyone's ever had this problem before, but after the motor has warmed up and idles normally (750-800 rpms) when the A/C is running, it will misfire for less than a second every 30 seconds or so. above idle it's fine. runs great otherwise. hasn't stalled on me yet. it is def not the...

    dowel pins....

    my cylinder head was recently rebuilt and resurfaced (planed, shaved, whatever). I put everything back together and fired it up the other day. it runs great, but it's pissing out oil where the head meets the block, right underneath the VTEC solenoid. At idle it just spits out these really tiny...

    cylinder head shaving/planing

    dropped my cyl head off at the machine shop today for a valve job and figured I'd have it shaved while its there. honda says 0.2mm (0.008in) is the max that can be shaved off. can I go any more than that without doing any damage or should I just stick with the specs in the service manual?? just...

    main/rod bearings

    for those of you that have rebuilt an F23 before, did you replace the main and rod bearings with the same color/letter code they originally came with? or do you have to change sizes? I will be measuring everything with plastigauge when I put it back together, but I just want to know if I...

    winter project

    Winters suck IMO. There's really not much to do if you don't snowmobile or ski. Instead of wasting what little money I have on beer and liquor all the time, I'm going to put it into my favorite car.... My LX was already in pretty good condition interior/exterior wise, but I couldn't really...

    odometer hotspots?

    A little less than a year ago I did a blue LED gauge conversion to my EX using the high power LEDs. I used a regular LED on my clock & removed the filter. The clock is fine, but my odometer screen has these "hotspots" (if thats what they are). WTF causes these? just LEDs in general or was...

    APEXI WS2 on LX coupe

    Alright, so I'm 100% sure I want to buy the apexi WS2 catback for my 2000 LX, but apparently they only make it for the 6thgen EX coupe...... Will this fit my LX? I know the headers are different between the EX and LX (VTEC & ULEV VTEC), but is anything different after the cat? I really don't...

    coupe passenger seats

    Has anyone ever noticed that the passenger seats (in the coupes, not sure about sedans) don't lock into place after putting the seat down? I'm not sure if its only the 98-00 or if its on both the 98-00 and 01-02 coupes. I have a 99 and 00 coupe and both of them have this problem. everytime I put...

    free short shifter

    I've always wanted a PSPEC shifter but really never had the money. I saw the "Cutting your stock shifter" DIY and all I have to say is WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CUT YOUR SHIFTER IN YOUR CAR??? The shifter comes out in about 15 minutes by simply taking out the 4 bolts and disconnecting your shift...

    2nd thoughts.....

    So I got these fog lights today from a buddy who upgraded to HID fogs to match his head lights. Just threw em on to see how they'd look. The more I look at em, the more I start to wonder how much I actually like them. The 01-02 front ends look really good with fogs but I just dono about the...

    F23A1 stalls when revved

    Hey I have a 99 4cyl automatic and anytime I rev it above 2500rpms or so and let off, it winds down and instantly stalls. It doesn't even sound like it wants to go back to idle, just dies like it does when I turn the key off. This is not an intermittent problem, it happens anytime and every time...

    3rd brake light/trunk rattle

    hey guys I have a 99 coupe and I was just wondering if anyone else had any problems with the 3rd brake light or trunk rattling after installing subs. I thought about taking the light out, but I believe cars made after 1990 are required to have the 3rd brake light. Anyone have any ideas on what...
