to begin with ....1000 rpm is quite high for an idle speed....750 sounds more like it. you should have that checked, the problem you asked about could be anything from incorrect airflow to crappy fuel supply. also what kinda mounts do you have? Energy and the like do tend to vibrate a bit cause tha...

^^^ better response there, seriously just best you get proper aftermarket springs, as heating a spring is not the best way to go about dropping your car. 1.) it does affect the strength and reliablity of the spring because of the heating then contraction of the metal it creates weak spots and irregu...

SMc

change sig^^? anyway if your shock was bad you would definitley feel it, and also hear it too. If its just a constant lean doubt its a shock as this works in conjunction with the spring to hold the car in 'balance'...and while stationary should look even. If you cut or didnt cut the spring as asked ...

1000rpm idle speed in traffic will affect your gas consumption...think of it as using 33% more fuel than you should while in traffic, and if you spend alot of time in traffic you can see why your consumption is crap

whats your girlfriends weight?

BUT judging by your name and sig...guessing you cut your springs to get the ride height you wanted...correct? If so, may have had a bad measurement and cut.

if its strictly cosmetic, why dont you just get a chrome tip..ie the type you slide over the existing pipe and screw into place...any aftermarket barrel you get will have a different tone to the current one you have.... if its a case where the actual barrel NEEDS changing, and you want a similar ton...

SMc

the surface resistance will be greater when you turn your wheel to either the left or right as the threading will unnatuarally go against the positve energy put forth by the car which goes in a straight line and is located behind the said tyres...the reason you only get it on the right can be atribu...

u ever try a heat gun to melt the glue?and then peel off, then clean d glue after with thinners?/ i dunno...it MIGHT work heat gun will decrease the viscosity on the asphalt any basically thin it right down...if the paint is highly porus (which it probably is, thats why dey have flashband dere) the...

try a tin of CO2 (like what yuh use to clean your comp keyboard). If yuh going to buy one, look for one that have a safety warning AGAINST using the tin upside down..buy that one. When yuh get home turn the tin upside down with the strawee thing attached and spray its arse for about 15 secs...your f...

NOOOOO!!! ^^ dont do that, i spent 3 hours fighting with a boiler last week because someone decided that was the best course of action to remove a broken connection and ended up forking up the thread beyond repair...which resulted in me having to leave site with the job not completed, coming home to...

SMc

that has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen..not funny stupid, as in a waste of forking 5 mins of my life that would have been better spent taking a dump in the middle of the road.

How long is a piece of string?

At then end of the day it depends on where yuh driving, how yuh driving, condition of the road (traffic etc). If yuh reach light, bess head for a station cause is pressure if yuh run out either way.

But...VTEC supposed to kick in when certain criteria is met (speed, RPM, pressure..and somfing else ) ent...so running it manually would not only be a pain in the arse, but if you engage it at the wrong time, yuh gorn juss end up wif alot less torque than you already have. Also forget to turn the sw...

^^^Tranny work is expensive(it messy, time consuming etc), to just take apart to 'find out' what wrong with it will cost you a good bit. But as you said...take it by a good mechanic, I agree but he looking for what may be the issue here before taking it by the machanic...an putting out money for tha...

SMc

question then....if a hot tranny supposed to work better as it allows better flow etc....why have a 'tranny cooler'?

BTW if yuh buy a used tranny tou will still have to rebuild it (I should at think so at least) so that 1200-1300 may not be so bad after all.

SMc

SMc

trannys are a waste of boobs... but either way check yuh tranny fluid (level, viscosity, for metal 'shavings' etc)...make sure yuh using the correct one for your set up....but I tort cooler tranny meant better/nicer behavior? Sure its the tranny failing you?

But as you restart it automatiaclly defaults to the TCS 'on' position...so I guessin is a ECU fing. Never really n...

it really sound like wheel balance issues...if he done change front end suspension parts and it still doing that, could me as simple as a 30$ balance on the rims. L&D do a decent job...but look and see what they doing, cause some of the them wutless there. End of the day get a good high speed balanc...

I applied it regularly since I bought the car new and I on the second dashboard now. breds..plastic is plastic is ...

maybe the time spent looking for and putting black pepper in the radiator was enough to let the engine cool enough to get home.

I cant see the black pepper working as a coolant or a means of blocking any holes in the radiator. Egg yes...as it expands when heated, black pepper doesn't.

is it foreing used?

SMc

-What series and width tyres the man have?
-is it the stock suspension?

Depending on those...we could get a better idea of the alternatives, and reccommend to suit.
