    Anyone replaced thier Rack and Pinion?

    Finally getting around to replacing a worn rack and pinion steering after procrastinating about 6 months. The directions state that you need to have the steering wheel pointed straight and locked. Problem is, I can only get it to lock in the 9 o'clock and 2:30 positions. It also wants you to...

    Transmission Finally Gone....

    Last summer I picked up a "low mileage" Jdm 4cyl auto trans for $450 and installed myself. I was a bit skeptical at first. But I was very pleased at how nicely it shifts. After one year, no issues. There were two sensors on the back of transmission that were 3 pins vs the 2 pin on USDM trans...

    Another Koni question

    I am replacing the blown Tokico blues on my front suspension with koni yellows on the lowest perch setting paired with Tein S-Tech (2" drop). After I got the strut assembly together I noticed how loosely the springs fit. There is essentially no preload. You can freely twist the spring and...

    Koni Yellow unboxing

    Is this little black piece just packaging to protect the shock? I don't see any other use for it. Its pictured in the DIY write up but its not mentioned. http://www.filtsai.com/accord/suspension/index.php

    Anyone have a spare distributor off their 4cyl?

    Appreciate that feedback. You saved me a huge headache. Fixed one leak. Found Another. This time Vtec solenoid gasket. Hopefully I will have a dry motor after this.

    Anyone have a spare distributor off their 4cyl?

    I was installing a new distributor shaft seal to replace a badly leaking one. The marks I put on the bottom of the distributor base wore off from handling it as I was pressing out the pin at the base. I should have used punch marks in hindsight. I need to find the correct orientation when...

    Torque convertor installation to driveplate

    Working on installing "new to me" auto 4cyl trans this weekend. Upon removal i marked relationship of the TC to driveplate. Since I am installing a new torque convertor now there is no reference mark. The Haynes manual says it is to maintain the static balance of torque convertor. The bolt...

    Front roof rack location

    The Thule fit kit 2027, instructs to locate the front rack 13 3/8" from the top of the windshield. To me it looked way too far back. I moved it about 6" to the front and it looks a lot better but still kinda far from windshield. I plan on using an older still Thule fairing which actually came...

    Opinions on "JDM" F23a

    I came across their criagslist ad last week by chance. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/ptd/4328696047.html $350 is hard to beat, though. I don't think you can really go by the wet compression test. In person, you could manually turn the crank, and compare compression numbers...
