    Be forewarned...if you up the boost and you have a stock HG, you may be in for a nasty surprise in the form of a bhg.

    Supra VS Accord... Ouch....

    I once owned a 97 Accord EXR. 2.2L 4 banger. That thing was pretty quick. I miss it more than any other vehicle I've owned. Since then I bought a Jeep TJ Rubicon. It does 0-60 in.....whatever, but it doesn't need to be fast. Knowing I can simply drive OVER the riced out Civic next to...

    engine break in

    I had my engine built by a pro who was recommended by a very good friend of mine, who himself is a top notch mechanic. This friend of mine has built 8 second dragsters and blah, blah, blah. Point is, he knows his shit. Currently he has a massively modified jeep....the motor in his jeep was...

    Stereo Wiring Question

    Your original post is a bit confusing. You say your honda has 13 wires and the head unit harness has 12...that's fine. Then you say there is another black wire? Is that 'another' wire which would mean there are actually 13 on the deck's harness? In most cases black wires are 'ground'...

    Bad idle when warmed up

    lol...well it wasn't for no reason. It smoothed out the idle quite nicely. But now it runs smooth all the time on it's own...makes me happy! :)

    Bad idle when warmed up

    Problem Solved. I removed the EGR and replaced it with block off plates. The problem is now resolved! It was either the EGR vacuum modulator or the EGR itself. Either way, all is good. Hope this helps.

    Bad idle when warmed up

    My engine doesn't die after I rev it, it smooths out. Lets say I drive up to a light and stop and this time the car decided it wants to idle rough (it doesn't do it every time). If at idle and in neutral, I mash the gas pedal to the floor and bring the rpm to about 5000, when it drops back...

    no sound on the left side

    The easiest way to diagnose a problem like this is the process of elimination. Pull out the speaker that isn't working. Hook it up to your home stereo or something that you know is good. If it doesn't work, you know it's the speaker. If it does.... Pull out the deck. Find the wires...

    no sound on the left side

    The static could have been from a bad wire connection. Is it both left speakers or just one?

    Bad idle when warmed up

    The problem you're having sounds very similar to mine. It starts up good and as it warms up the idle is normal. Go for a 5-10 minute drive though and come to a stop and the idle is erratic. It's missing, shaking, sputtering, etc. If I stomp on the gas in neutral and bring the motor to...

    time for a better setup. need input!

    theprodigy79 has given you excellent advice!!! I'm currently running 2 Jl amps. A 300/4 powering Boston Acoustics 5.5 component in custom kick panels and Boston 4x6 in the factory rear location. Also a 500/1 for the subs. I've had this system now for about 5 years and it's been flawless...

    flood cars...stay away?

    It probably just needs a carburator service. You can drop in a used 4.0L FI motor pretty cheap, or just fix the carb. I'd drop in a used 4.0L myself. They run forever. Toyota's are not bad for off road, but if you're going to build an off road vehicle Jeep's are the way to go. Parts are...

    No sound in car

    You're going to have to give me some more info here. Are the speakers wired up directly to the deck or are they wired to an amp? Does your car have a factory amp? You say you changed a fuse and it worked...that would indicate that your speakers are wired to an amp. Which fuse did you...

    No sound in car

    Is it just one speaker that's not working or all of them?
