    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    I do frozen pizzas on my charcoal grill every summer. It's a big hit at my house. It's a little tricky tho. Gotta keep an eye on it or it will get burned up. On pizzas with thicker crusts the charcoal gives it more flavor. It's pretty neat. It's funny cause years ago our oven broke and we...

    Set distributor timing

    If you didn't use a timing gun I suggest you do so. 'Eric the car guy' on youtube has a good video that shows you how. Good luck.

    $100 Plasti-Dip Paint Job

    Looks good. I just think it will get dingy looking. I plan on dipping my cd5 in navy blue this spring. It is silver now and my paint is shot as well.

    2000 civic wont start

    O.p. here's a thought. Since you say the mechanics you know don't know civics, don't you have a Honda dealer nearby? They know civics. I agree btw that Ron and others did try to help you.

    seems like this forum died?

    I still check in from time to time. Don't post much. Don't care about post count. As for me my 6th gen is getting older and I'm tempted to get something newer. I still like my EM1 though. I think I will still be around.

    Koni Shocks Yellow vs. Orange?

    Big difference between the yellows and oranges. Yellows are damper adjustable and have a lifetime guarantee if I remember right. The orange ones are like a budget oem replacement. No lifetime warranty. You might want to check your trailing arm bushings. If you have stock suspension yet. I'd be...

    Lowering my car

    How about a general answer for a general question? I would suggest fuction & form type 1s. They are an affordable coilover. You can slam you ride on them with little problems. Goodi, you from the O? Sioux City here. We're neighbors so to speak.

    My '98 MPG is bad

    I second Ron. My 97 accord was taking longer to crank over when starting. It had been several years since I did a tune up. I did plugs,wires, cap, and rotor. I noticed an improvement in mpgs.

    Bone stock 98 EX Coupe. Need suggestions!

    This I agree with as well. I have a 97 Accord that is on it's 3rd suspension setup. Finally got some Function & Form Type 1s. I love them. My 2000 Civic Si is on Tein S Techs and stock shocks for now. It rides nice for a daily. I would also suggest taking a look at your trailing arm bushings...

    99 civic si gsr swap

    I'll chime in. I have an EM1 with gsr swap. I'm lowered on Tein s techs. I'm using a no name 4-1 header that I got in a trade. I have no dents in it at all. Now from what I hear the 4-1s hang really low on a b16 cause the deck height of the enging is lower which makes the header hang lower to...

    Steam Where It Doesn't Belong

    Yeah that doesn't look good. Especially in the first pic. It's not the biggest job in the world though. Get a Hayne's manual if you don't have one. Get familiar with the job. Read and read again. A good machine shop can check out your head and freshen it up and it won't be expensive. You might...

    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    Yeah, it may be no big deal to you. If it makes it ok to smoke and not worry about random piss tests like I do at work then it's all WIN!! Come on Iowa! As for what I did today, not much. Watched a little football. Played with my kids. Drank a few brews. Didn't leave the house.

    Suspension ideas? I WANNA HEAR YOURS!

    I would suggest against kyb agx shocks. I had them on my accord and after 3 years the rears blew. On one I couldn't even turn the adjustment wheel. So I say KonI yellows or full coilovers. Make sure to stress to your alignment shop that you want your toe within spec. On my EM1 I'm on tein s...

    How To: Body Filling Repair (DIY)

    That piece between the tail light and bumper on that civic comes off, just 2 bolts. Easier to do by hand. I've done it.

    Questions about Honda's and modifications

    Since your car is auto, I would suggest you just get some Tein s techs and use your stock shocks. The Tunersports store sells them for 150 or so. That's how I'm rolling in my 00 si and it's fine. Use the rest of your money for wheels.

    Yonaka update after 1 year and 30k miles

    I'm sure your thoughts on the Yonaka will help someone out who is trying to decide on an exhaust. Two years ago that was me. Thankfully the Yonakas were out of stock then so I splurged on my WS2 catback. No regrets.:cool:
