A. Get a manifold off ebay for a t3/t4 turbo for your car. Also get a t3/t4 turbo with an internal wastegate set to 7psi. Buy a cool sounding blow off valve like the turbo xs rfl (sounds like a whip) or a greddy type s. Get your local performance shop to install the kit (that will include 3" exaust, and a K&N intake system.). You could spend that much easily on just an exaust, intake, headers, maybe some underdrive pulleys, and a nitrous kit. The turbo kit will give you more power than that at all times for much less. Also you dont have to do any other upgrades at 7 psi. Then if you ever want to add more power you can do other upgrades (motor and fuel, larger valves, etc.) and simply turn up the boost untill your making 400 horse at the front… [cont.]

Anyone know how to fix a 1996 Honda Accord spedometer that only works once in a while?
Q. Our 1996 Honda Accord spedometer works only sometimes, usually at freeway speeds only. Someone replaced one part for me (can't remember which part, but it was supposed to be the major one that all Honda's have trouble with) but that didn't make a difference. I've heard there are two major parts, and now I probably need the other one? I also hear this "other" part is expensive. Anyone here have a similar problem, or a mechanic that can explain it? Thanks everyone!
Asked by computer doctor - Mon Feb 25 17:02:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I had the same issue in my girlfriends 97 Accord Ex. I replaced the speedometer cable and all was well. After replaceing the cable I tore the old one apart and it was heavily corroded causing it to catch. The other part would be the vehicle speed sensor in the top of the transmission on the passenger side. On the automatics,some people remove the senser to top off the fluid,If it is not seated correctly or damaged this can cause a bad reading. Both of these parts should be available new on eBay for cheap.

A. you should just be able turn the socket on the back of the headlamp assembly to remove it from the headleap housing you don't need to remove any bolts or the housing. the socket should turn about 1/4 turn counter clockwise to release the tabs. the bulb will be in the socket when you pull the socket back from the housing. be sure to line up the tabs on the socket with the slots in the housing when you put the socket back in. on some cars there is a "periscope" air tube that you have to pull out to get to the headlamp housing. it will be on the passenger side. it just pulls straight up to remove it and pushes back in to reinstall it hope that helps

A. The bolt is a normal thread, counter clockwise to loosen. This is the tightest bolt on the whole car. I am a mechanic and replaced one about a month ago on a 1991 for my daughter at her house. My 1/2 inch drive air impact would not loosen it but the compressor I was using was a standard 120 p.s.i. , I ended up renting a very powerful electric 3/4 in drive impact and used a reducer to a 1/2 socket before I got it off. You maybe able to use a 1/2 in. drive impact but make sure you have a very powerful air compressor (more that 120 p.s.i.). NOTE! Make sure when you re-install the bolt to use lock-tight on the threads or it will work itself loose over time. When it was manufactured, Honda used a lock tight on this bolt to keep it from… [cont.]

A. Be prepared to pay $1,000.00 for paint and labor. It's usually not cheaper to get a new door unless the damaged one is really mangled, and a new door will cost a boatload -- you don't want to go that way unless you have no other choice.

Alright a Accord is a few thousands more than a civic but with 5,000 the best thing to do is to look for a Honda Civic Ex not lx EX go on autotrader or go on msn and click on autos then select the year you like and can afford which you may buy a 2000-2002 Civic with 5000 cash and compare it to the accord or other cars that competes with it also if you compare it on msn sometimes they give you the wrong model trim remember ex is better because you have a faster car and a sunroof and more.

A. Yeah these people are looking at dealer pricing and the labor to install it. You need them to get another quote. The bumper itself shouldn't cost $800 unless it's brand spankin new model. And if you were backing out of a parking spot I'm pretty sure the law will say that it was their fault for not yielding. I'd get a lawyer or take it to small claims court.

A. The answer above me is true. Other shops work with all ranges of cars, american, german, and everything else. I'm not sure what you mean intermediate service, but if it includes bigger jobs such as timing belt jobs and other jobs then definitely Honda dealer. They know your car inside and out, literally. But for small jobs such as oil, fuel filter and simple jobs smaller shops will do the trick; but always keep in mind they may not be 100% knoweledable with your car.
