    What are your compression #?

    A few days ago I did my first compression test at 147K miles and I got 210 evenly across the 4 cylinders. My parents always laugh how it takes me literally 10 hours to change my oil, and why I let my car idle to full temp even in the summer. Was wondering where other accords compression is at...

    surging like crazy?! Input needed on trouble shooting

    (00 4cyl) I took off the intake manifold, cleaned everything, egr valve ect. Everything is torqued to spec and connected. I tried to get away with re-using the iacv gasket (didn't look in to bad of shape) but wasn't sure if that could be the culprit, which is the only gasket I re-used...

    Have you ever had to sue someone?

    Have you ever had to sue someone for copyright infringement? I have. It's really easy to do (with proper validation of original documents). That's how I paid off my car. It really only cost me 4k$ and the other 11k$ came out of someone else's pockets, haha. I was just wonderin if anyone else has...

    Best diagrams ?

    What are the best links for parts diagrams? In other words, what dealers have every part on the car. I used to have a link that you could zoom in on the diagrams and had every part on the car, lost the link.

    Photoshop'd a pic

    I photoshop'd a picture of my car (took about 20min). I think it looks a lot more crisp. The bottom of the facia looks a little jacked, but didn't really care since I'm using it for my avatar. If ne one wants, I could do something like this to a picture of your car. If you like it, cool. If not...

    Vacuum hose routing confirmation?

    (00 ex sedan F23a1) Could ne1 confirm that I have these vac lines routed correctly? The hose to the fuel pump reg. isn't hooked up cause I didn't order enough length. What I'm confused about is that on the cruise control, there is an open line (pic 3) but I had it labeled. The last thing I wanna...

    Motor mounts ,could I have messed something up

    I just put the side and front motor mounts in (filled them). I just thought of something though. When I did the work, the car was on jacks. I barely moved the engine around. Should I have disconnected the drive shaft before I took the mounts out? The cars not ready to be driven yet, so I don't...

    Silicone hose kit?

    I'm replacing some of the vacuum lines in the bay. I'm not boosting or anything but would like to dress it up with some silicone hoses. I've found 2 kits online, but I don't know what one to get cause one is in inch measurement, and the other is in metric??? Thanks guys, the links-...

    Wire tuck question

    I'm shortening some of the wires in the bay. I have this cable from a rock fausgate capacitor. It's 4ga. I know copper is one of the best conductors but I don't know what material this is. Think it would be better than the oem cables? Thanks

    Belt tension ?

    (00 Accord ex sedan)- I'm putting the alternator belt back on and don't know how much tension to put on. My manual says- (Using a fisherman's scale) 22 lbs applied at 90* in middle of belt (a/c to alt), (amount of deflection in belt) new: 3/16''-1/4'' used: 5/16''- 3/8''. (Same application...

    Deleted my powersteering (pics)

    My power steering set up (00 Accord ex sedan). I haven't gotten it on the road yet. Just by taking off the belt and leaving pump attached, this is what I noticed- Tires feel 1'' wider Throttle feels 1' closer to my hand Energy spent compensating for power steering corrections, 50% less Power...

    Science fair?

    My car's nothing but a science project to me. Yup, that's the rez. heat shield in the bay (I hope it rots so I have something else to fix). There's a 30*F difference between the aluminum and the piping at full operating temp. I was switching my 5yr old e-gay intake over to CA today and decided...
