dood, i say you just install your original steering wheel back, just to be on the safe side and this one seems to be giving you too many problems..

I figured it out...the ECU fuse was in the wrong spot. Man do I feel frikkin' stupid, stupid, stupid.

And I installed the steering wheel, looks frikkin' awesome!

BTW, is it possible to sell the air bag from my old steering wheel?

[jhondayaaj]

you can try??

Yeah I put it in my F/S thread. lol. It has "I <3 U" written on it with a streak by my GF so yeah, IDK how much to sell it for but it's for sale.

My shifter lights and climate control lights don't come on, is it a fuse problem? The shifter lights use to come on then all of a sudden just stopped.

[jhondayaaj]

do the easy check first. check fuses.

my breaks are squeeling!! it was a real bad scraping sound but the pads were pretty new. rotors were in bad shape so replased those and the pads, now it still does it!! not as bad but still anoying. it only really does it on the front passanger side if i hit a right turn. other than that it doesnt do it as much...somebody help!!

Did you use that anti-squeel compound between the pads and shims? Aftermarket pads might be the cause too. Stick with OEM if possible.

check the backing plate, it may be rubbing against the rotor.

im going to take it back to the place that did them 2day and see if they fix it, they should considering they just put them on yesterday

worst case scenerio wheel bearings might be on its way out.

When is it a good time to change the timing belt? Are there any signs that our CB7's give off as to when to change it?

Anyone willing to install my side markers for me this weekend? I'll pay of course; but I live in Hacienda Heights so idk how much to offer seeing as how I'll be driving pretty far

[youngJAY]

Hard to say without taking out the timing belt cover and feeling the actual belt to see if its dried up or very hard.

I think you're suppose to change the timing belt at 100k miles, if it hasnt received a new one since then it's probably best to do it soon.

[jhondayaaj]

jay, use a screwdriver and push the backing plate away from the rotor.

and to batmannamtab, I work on cars on the side too. especially now that I got suspended.
