To those who follow
Wow, I've done a lot to this car, yet I don't drive it. My mom drives it. I've bit the 'bullet', more like took a chunk out of my wallet and did the HONDA ATF fluid, damn I felt the differenc; and recently did my DIY AIR CONE INTAKE. Damn, I swear, it's like a WRX at times. I just have to reset the ECU, and think of more ideas to keep it a little cool and take that mod a further.

Still got lots to do for the maintenances. Will do engine seals, and rotors/pads.

WELCOME!

i'm glad you decided to keep the car. this site will surely help you learn more about your car as well the automotive world in general. so good luck to ya and always keep us updated on the things you are doing (and i hope cleaning that engine bay is on your to-do list ).

Nice ride! I like that AEM SR and going to get one next week.O,hey,is yours also polished right? Are polished ones gonna fade? I am so afraid that it gonna fade after a while.Then I would buy some other colors.Any ideas? Thanx!

[oneoffaccord]

i like the way u think keep up the good work

[i_love_cb7]

Woot!!
good luck on the oily spark plugs

[kings_blend]

if your engine has a lot of miles, dont use synthetic oil, it will make your seals go bad, just use castrol high milage oil, i have a few bad seals and I switched to castrol high milage and it hasnt really been leaking since....

[FishyMan]

i've gots 78k on it. i dunno if i should try those engine gunk cleaning things. i see build up inside, but i guess it is inevitable for cars.

i usually run castrol, chevron or valvoline.

so what is the best regular motor oil brand? mobil 1?

thanks !

i wanna see exterior pics of your car man. looking good.

[FishyMan]

haha i wish i can pride it to show outside. it is just a stock car .. i wanna get the ambers, do the mesh grill, drop and all but that's way way later..... my mom put some paint scratches on it, and the minor dings, thank god.. but ya...

i'll take some pics tomorrow after trying to clean it. =I i wish i could do a paint job, sand it down and do the pearlie white..

thanks for the support.. !

Sup Glenn,

Ya, i think i just seen it yesterday again. I am looking for amber corner and bumpers. Thanks for the offer though..

I am trying to fix things up mostly before getting into the mods and all that. I gots to fix the oily sparks, and save up and learn to fix the a/c. anyhow Thanks..

what else do u gots for sale?

[91accord4door]

hey man, i have been trying to help you out a bit, i just wanted to let you know i like the way your approaching your car. i think your smart to get it in good working order before doing mod's, and you started off right with the intake, i just thought i woul throw ya some tips for your next mod's, normally the first things ya get when working your way up is,

1,intake, plugs,wires,

2,lenses, bulbs, tails,etc

3,exhaust....header,cat back etc,

4, maybe kit, or lips, paint,

5,engine swap,

6if you get this far before giving up praise the lord brotha.

thats the way i approached my car and its working well so far. good luck lil man.

[i_love_cb7]

Yo fishyMan, just to make u feel better, my mom crashed the bumper, headlights, and the hood before. hehe, good thing she took the money to replace it, but the bumper is still all cover in my bondo. Hey tell me when u start working on the a/c. mines not working too.

[92accordlx]
