Re: (RJonathan)

Dealers in my area are listing the Fits at $3-4K over MSRP with no options and having no trouble selling them. When we were looking for our Sport manual they weren't even interested in helping us...

Re: (actionanh)

Does the Fit engine (L15A1 if I remember correctly) take the same spin-on filters as the older D and B series engines? I have a case of those in the garage and I'd love to be able to use them when...

Re: Fidanza aluminium flywheel 7.5lbs (em1allday)

I have the same Fidanza in my Z6. Took me all of a day or so to get used to it, now I don't even notice the difference, even when switching between my and my wife's car (D16 w/OEM flywheel and...

Re: (Crazydave)

Yeah, I cleaned the lost motion assemblies as best I could, then hand-lubed them with some Mobil 1 before I put the cover back on. They were moving pretty well considering the amount of gunk in...

Re: D16Z6 oil pressure issue -- light on, but pressure too high (SOHCejcivic)

Yeah, I pulled the oil pressure switch (it's a 24mm deep socket btw :D) and of course, the wire was so brittle that it broke off in my hand, so now I have to fix that if I want to put the...

Is this paint/body job feasible for $1000?

OK, it's finally time to paint the beast. I'm getting sick of driving around in a car that looks like it's been in a demolition derby.

Here's the car. It's been like this since I bought it (was...

Re: noob question for sure (philosofy1)

Also, VTEC is dependant on a lot of different factors: coolant temp, oil pressure, vehicle speed, throttle position, etc. There isn't so much as specific RPM at which VTEC engages as there is a...

Re: high idle and overheating after new timing belt and water pump (rodvang)

Did you evacuate all of the air out of the cooling system after you refilled it? High idle and overheating are both symptoms of low coolant or air in the system.

Re: DC2 Front Wheel on Jack Stands, Engine ON, Neutral and wheel spin on their own? (JLEK)

There is always a little bit of movement, even in neutral because the input shaft is still spinning and the fluid pressure is pushing on the drive gears.
