m glad i found this site, as i am a proud owner of a 00 silver coupe. Its got a long history and has come a long way from a stock 4cyl, auto.
Im hoping to get some help from all u guys, to help solve some of the problems im having.
Here's a brief history of my accord:
Couple years back i decided to do some research on getting a custom turbo kit put in. Im from hamilton, ontario canada, (hoping theres some canadians on this site) so i looked around found a garage which will remain nameless. I knew a BUNCH of guys who had their cars successfully boosted, they were a reputable place. So i went ahead and got the turbo put in. Garrett 60 trim, turbo, e-manage. Long story short i got screwed, the garage went bankrupt and the job wasnt done correctly. With the help of a friend i managed to get it working decent. It still needs a good tune, not that quick, but quicker. So i need to know a reliable place to go to have the tune put on it, or some general advice.
Also, i managed to do the dreaded auto to 5 speed convert. That was the worst of it all. My speedo still doesnt work and im limited to 5000 rpms. This is due to the fact that i have the automatic transmission switcher hooked up to the 5 speed cpu, set to neutral, its the only way the ignition will work. So the next thing im asking is to find someone out there who either has done the swap successfully or anyone who knows where i can bring the accord to, to get it all fixed. Im hoping that theres someone out there that is willing to help me out. Love the site, looking forward to hearing from anyone and everyone.
Im also looking for a rear bumper for the coupe, so if someone has one, leave me a msg.
My name is Mike, kik username is sebe82, feel free to add me.
Thanks for hearing me out.
