Re: Raul's 1998 Accord Coupe V6

Interior looks real clean i like the wood. Now instead of a CL-S you should do a j32 6 speed swap.

LOL its not real wood. I will get a 6mt car when I can save up enough.

I know lol but it actually looks good unlike some other dash kits I've seen.

Re: Raul's 1998 Accord Coupe V6

So Accord is back on the road next week . I need to fix some small things:

1. The passenger window does not fully close. There is little gap and whenever I pull the up position in switch, it makes a loud clunking noise. Window regulator is not working, i guess? Where could I find one for cheap?

2. The driver front wheel always loses air and I have to put air every week. I am sure it is not the tire because I changed the old tire and it still loses air. What could be wrong?

3. The paint is rough and dull. Is there a way to make it better without spending money on full paint job?

4. The wiring harness in my fogs is messed up. The plastic insulation is missing (donno how) and everytime it rains, the fogs stop working. I would need a new wiring harness, correct? Does it matter which brand? my fogs are famous blazer projectors.

Thanks, guys!

#1. TAS, junkyard, car-part, rock auto, ebay
#2. Rim must be bent or cracked somewhere, check for imperfections
#3. Not an expert on this, but I would think some sort of polishing/buffing would get it looking somewhat better. Ask turbo911
#4. New harness would be easiest I would think. Unless the area missing insulation is easily visible and easy to access. If so, maybe wrapping in electrical tape and heatshrink wrapping might help?

Glad the Accord is seeing some action again.

Very clean interior, you have the wood grain going on nicely! I especially love the shift knob, mind if I asked where you got it?

Re: Raul's 1998 Accord Coupe V6

Put some soapy water in a spray bottle and spray down the entire tire particularly around where the bead meets the rim, I think that is the most likely spot since you mentioned that your old tire did the same.

Probably try some polishing compound like Meguires. I got some and maybe we can test out a small section to see if it helps (maybe at the next TAC east meet?)

A replacement harness is probably best, but if you cannot get that then electrical tape is your next option.

would any harness work? Kelvin, I am gona make it to next east meet with the accord. Can I DIY window regulator myself? Appreciate the advice, fellas.

The shift knob is off a stock 5G tiptronic prelude.

Muhib,

Thinking about it, I think you are referring to the relay harness. If that is the case then it would be quickest and easiest to just cut the wire and replace with some plugs. Then plug these into the relay. As I do not think these relay harness are entirely weatherproof and that is why even with these harness, you need to mount upright so that water does not settle and stay on the contacts. I can bring out some plugs and my crimping tool next week if you like. But will assess the situation before we start.
