    '05 7th gen Honda Civic - oil leak, new cam belt???

    My father in-law's '05 7th gen Civic with 50,000km on the clock yesterday started flashing the oil indicator light on the dash. Then it was discovered the oil was all leaking out onto the ground. The dipstick showed massive loss of oil even after topping up. The vehicle was then taken to...

    It was time to change the balding tyres on the old man's '04 Accord V6 Luxury, so scored these virtually new rims and tyres off an '09 Accord V6 Luxury. This gives us new tyres with a nice size upgrade from 205 to 225 width, lower profile, and a rim upgrade from 16" to 17". Best of all it's...

    Experimenting with some LEDs

    Fitted some little LEDs to the Coupe's number plate lights and front parkers. Quite a difference to the standard ol' yellow on the wife's CR-V's number plates lights! I am still waiting on some interior dome LEDs to arrive for both cars.

    Skipping wipers

    My car's wipers are skipping across the windscreen quite severely in the rain. Doesn't matter if its on slow or fast speeds. Doesn't matter if I wipe it clean with a rag. The blades were only replaced at the last service 5000km ago, and the car is usually kept undercover. Why is this, and how...

    Keep my rear wing or lose it?

    Thanks to nugget's suggestion, he's got me thinking about losing the wing on my Civic. I did a quick chop which shows what it would look like, and I gotta admit it looks pretty schmick without it. What should I do, keep it or lose it? Without wing: With wing:

    Accord V6 Tyre Size question

    We have a 2004 Accord V6 with the stock 205/60/16 tyres and stock rims. We want to get wider tyres but keep the stock rims. Will it be possible to swap the 205/60/16 tyres with 225/55/16 tyres? Does anyone know if 225 width fit safely on the stock rims?
