Well my g/f sold her integra to buy this 98 Accord.








So I am going to help her fix her ride up. I will be up in this section of h-t more often, asking questions. Hope you guys dont mind.

 

i suppose i don't mind...

 

Decent ride....low miles; what are the plans for the moment? And welcome to the accords

 

If you've been on here then you should know how it is.....i suppose. I would say search b4 anyone flames you on here.

Well I was planning on getting her the type r style grill, but then i realized that it wont fit on her car..

Simple mods for her though, probably just lower the car, tinted windows, and a nice sound system..

I think it was a 97, LS.

 

The Greddy evo sounds good and I have the Tanabe Hyper Medallion and it sounds great deep and only loud at WOT. I would say I/E Springs and black housing headlights.

 

well, let all the mods a side for now..

let's talk business

-make sure she check out the recall on the ign. switch from honda.

-there's another recall for the driver side seatbelt anchor, which would trigger the srs light.

-change the tranny fuilld and filter if you havent already.(semi-problematic trans)

 

If you just change the tranny fluid sump regularly then you will get longer life and smoother shifts from the tranny. I change mine everytime i change my motor oil.

Wow thanks for the mechanical advice..

So how would I go about flushing her tranny fluid? and replacing?

 

just need to drain and refill it and change the stocking filter.

they sell a service kit for 6th gen(98-02) accord i "think"

it's good to invest a tranny cooler too, it's bascially like a intercooler/rad but it's for the tranny juice.

remember the biggest problem the tranny faces is the heat.

most place do tranny oil change for 50 bucks, little more for oem fuild(which i and honda highly recommends)

tranny cooler is around 50-100, very wise investment for auto tranny to last

especially if you in socal, I am getting stop and go to death

 

Base on the car's mileage i would do a service at 8K..(if not done already)

coolant flush and replace, sparkplug, brake fuild flush, motoroil change, air filter, throttle body cleaning, check compression, check cooling system pressure, check charging system, replace/pressure check rad. cap.

they all should be in the manual
