the on car kwik lathe is recommended by HONDA. it only costed me $1800. (wife screaming at me, "what?! 1800?! that's alot of diaper's and milk.") LOL.

DAMN thats alot but well worth it

like jed said though, use new brake pads, I recommend factory pads at my price. I think around 35 bucks my price.

well i just recently had refilled my freon for ac and replaced an old fan. but it still takes awhile to get the ac cold. why is that?

[blackcb7]

is your clutch engaging and disengaging jack? did you check for leaks. on most cars it take a little while for it go get fully cold. also how much freon did you put in?

i have no idea what you are talking about ..i have no clue on how much exactly but the guy who refilled it said he filled it all the way up..

[jhondayaaj]

mine takes a while to get cold too. but I guess when it is 100 degrees plus inside your car, it may take a while(10-15min.) for you to feel it start getting cold. if it is blowing cold, then you're fine.

HA who needs AC when you have 5 windows to open and have all that fresh air hit you lol im still debating if i should replace my AC compressor or just remove that whole damn thing?????? im leaning towards fixing it since its only the compressor and it has a bad leak from the pulley and the clutch

In LA and SD you really don't need A/C. But in the I.E......forget about it

According to the owners manual.....You should roll down all window's, then put the A/C on max with recirculation on to get the hot air out. Then when the temp gets down, roll windows back up and eventually but push the non-recirculation button to provide fresh air to the system

Question

One time I took my car to get smoged. When I got my car back, I noticed my seat belt light on the dash doesn't come on anymore.

Did the tech do me a favor? , Or was it coincidence.

Is there a fuse or some simple way of getting the seatbelt light to not come on anymore when you're not wearing it?

Not that I want to fix it, cause that light was always so damn annoying.

throttle keeps getting stuck, i've cleaned it out and played with the throttle cable. I guess if i try to lube up the cable and that doesnt work, it's time to clean out the whole throttle body instead of cleaning the inlet.

Probably a coincidence then, cause I can't imagine a smog tech going through the trouble, unless there was a fuse or something easy to pull.

cut the seatbelt plug under ur seat, gets rid of it, or the light burnt out like my brake lights : /
