    Daily Status: FA5

    My new daily. '07 FA5, 66k on the clock. Tinted, Skunk2 Megapower, Tein S.Techs. Clean as a whistle. No major plans for mods: HID's, maybe fogs, shifter, intake, wheels. Boom, done.

    Koni Sport Warranty Claims?

    \I've been fiddling with my suspension a bit lately. Last night I went to soften my rear struts. As I turned the adjuster on the right rear, I heard a noise (like when you spray a can of WD-40) and ever since, there has been a steady weep of oil out the top of that strut. Combine that with the...

    Manual rack conversion?

    Long story short, I think my OEM rack is on its way out. I did a PS delete, and want to go ahead and drop a manual rack in. I'm assuming any EG manual rack will work? Anyone know of any surprises I may run into, before I run headlong into this project?

    No hazards!

    Noticed today that my hazards aren't working. Turn signals work fine, but when I push the hazard button nothing happens. I should note I am running an electronic flasher, but I swapped my stock one back in and it didn't change the problem. Are the hazard buttons known to fail?

    Wheel care and cleaning

    I recently picked up a nice set of wheels. In the past, any wheels I had were pretty well scratched and/or rattle canned, so I kinda just used whatever on them when I cleaned them: Car wash soap, big-brand wheel cleaners, etc etc. I want to keep these guys looking nice for a long time though, so...

    ABS freaks out when low beams on

    I am having a reoccurring problem with my ABS. Or my lights, I'm not sure. Basically, I can drive wherever, however, with my lights off or parking lights on and my ABS works fine. Nothing unusual. Soon as I turn my low beams on, BAM! ABS light. Most of the time it doesn't stay on long enough...

    ABS light stays on solid, even when pulling codes?

    ABS light came on earlier in the week, just pulled codes: 14, 16, 17. Reset, started car, soon as I turned my lights on ABS light comes on again. Pulled codes: 17, 171? Ever since, regardless of jumpering the diagnostic connector, resetting the system, anything, ABS light will not...

    '00 LS, obd2 boost options?

    Okay, this may be kinda long, so please bear with me. I'll try and put cliffs at the bottom for you TLDR types. I have a '00 LS with mild boltons: CAI, 4-1 header, catless exhaust. My brother has a formerly boosted LS (now it's just blown the fack up =P) and riding in that back when it was...

    Strange short throw shifter...what is it?

    Not sure if I've mentioned it here before, but my brother also owns a DC4. 98 LS, built, turbo'd with a TD05, shattered cylinder wall, yada yada. When I got my B&M shifter in, he mentioned that it was way different from his. Looking at it, his is bent towards the driver's side. He says he bought...

    Stubborn LCA bolt...advice?

    Went to put my struts on yesterday, and since my rear LCA bushings were shot, I decided I was going to pull the LCA's and put my poly bushings in. Unfortunately, I was unable to remove the bolts securing the LCA's to the knuckle/trailing arm assemblies. I think the bolts are seized to the...

    Bushings, bushings, bushings...

    Put my car up in the air to put my Beaks bar on, and found that my bushings could stand to be replaced. Well, those that are still there: one of my LCA bushings is quite literally GONE. :shock: Been looking around, doing research, trying to figure out what to buy. I read Energy poly is good...

    New To CI, Newish to DC's

    Hey all, my name's Austin, I'm from Southeast WI, and I bought my first Honda, a 2000 DC4 LS, about a month ago. Actually found this forum Google searching for pictures of Wink mirrors installed in DC's. Found a write-up on here and was surprised at how nice people were on here, so I figured I'd...
