Painting windshield cowling and some other parts

Posted on April 3, 2011 by spdweb_wsvkod

One thing I cant stand is when plastic parts start to fade.  One of the usual culprits is the plastic at the bottom of the windshield.  To fix this I removed the wiper arms and took the plastic out.  On this 2003 Accord this piece happens to be in two pieces for

1999 Civic engine teardown

Posted on April 2, 2011 by spdweb_wsvkod

Well the time is finally here!  I think..   I have started to tear down the engine in the 1999 Civic.  This car hasn't run in almost 2 years due to a spun bearing in the bottom end.  I have had new pistons, rods and rings here for a while waiting

’03 Front Brake Work

Posted on April 2, 2011 by spdweb_wsvkod

On a roll from the 1992 brake work I figured I would look into a noise that has started under braking on the 2003 Accord.  As it turns out this noise was caused by lack of lubricating grease on the brake parts.  Both front brakes were the same.  Below you

’92 UCA Modification and Brake Caliper

Posted on April 2, 2011 by spdweb_wsvkod

Installed a camber kit on the 1992 Accord and had to grind some of the upper control arm to make it fit.  Only had to remove about 1/4" of material to fix the clearance issue.  Also installed a brake caliper to replace a sluggish one I found while redoing the brakes.

Oil and spark plugs

Posted on November 3, 2010 by spdweb_wsvkod

New plugs and an oil change in the 2003 Accord.  The old plugs did not look too worn at all but they were pretty seized in the head so I am thinking they were the original high mileage iridium plugs from the factory. Left in any longer and I am almost positive

2003 Accord Tuneup and RANT!

Posted on October 18, 2010 by spdweb_wsvkod

 I have noticed a slight change in the behavior of the transmission of the 2003 Accord so I went over that checking sensors and connectors.  I guess I never went into that whole ordeal.  Too keep it short, I recently bought a 2003 Accord, 89k miles. The transmission completely lost

Bringing you up to speed

Posted on October 15, 2010 by spdweb_wsvkod

Alright, lets give this blog thing one more try.  It always seems like a great idea, but then I never follow through with keeping it updated.  So anyway… here goes again.  Currently happening: I recently traded in my 2000 Accord for a 2003 Accord which seems to be having some
