After my first paycheck I'd like to buy a quality coilover setup. I don't want to lower the car at all so I'm deciding between Koni Yellows with stock springs or Yonaka coilovers. I want to keep the ride height stock so these are the two options I've thought of. I have a few questions, first...

So I need some help with my CEL. Not long after I reinstalled my intake manifold I got a P0505. I looked online and I read that the only way to get this code is because of incorrect voltage of the iacv. Is this assumption correct? Also I have a voltmeter, but I'm not sure how to use it to...

I have a few questions related to this. First off is it possible to actually unscrew and take apart the vapor canister and replace the charcoal? Or is it all welded together so you have to buy a new one? Also what's the best way to get at and remove the canister and is there anything else I...

I've taken off the intake manifold, throttle body, and the fuel rail with injectors. Im cleaning everything and the valves and replacing the gaskets. Is there anything else i should do while I have the manifold off? Also should I use gasket dressing for the throttle body and is there suppose to...

It just keeps on getting more interesting with my car. I've fixed all prior overheating problems that involved leaks, now I have a new problem. When I'm at a stoplight or doing ~20mph city driving my car starts to overheat, thankfully it hasn't made it to the red yet. I have coolant, no leaks...

I don't remember how long this has been going on for, a week or two. I start the engine and it idles around 300rpm while sputtering for two seconds then it jumps back up to the 750 range and idles completely fine afterwards. This only happens when I'm starting the car while the engine is warm...

So I finally grinder off the stripped nuts on valve cover and was able to get it off and order new studs. I've primed and painted my valve cover with VHT wrinkle red and it still has about 40 hours to fully dry. After it's done drying I'll bake it in the oven for an hour to cure it. So here's...

So I stripped a few bolts rushing to get the valve cover back on while on the side of the highway. I also have a nut that just constantly spins on the bolt, it never tightens or comes off it just keeps spinning. Anyone that has experience in replacing the bolts? I thought about just taking a...

So I tightened only 4 valves, 2 on the exhaust on cylinder 4 and 2 on the intake on cylinder 2. I tightened the valves to .102mm for the intake and .178mm for the exhaust. After a few miles of highway driving it overheated big time, cel came on, and it puked a little coolant on the intake...

Two of this things on my to-do list are to clean out the intake manifold and cat. I'd prefer to be able to do this without taking either out, so if there's any liquid or spray cleaner that I can use in the intake/gas tank I need some suggestions. If all else fails I'll just have to dedicate a...

Browsing the web for some OEM lug nuts. I've already tried some nuts from Costco, but the chrome paint stripped off after I first put them on. So I'm looking again this time for nuts where the paint/chrome won't chip off or fade. Also considering stainless steel nuts? Any ideas on good brands?

I have numerous parts of my suspension, mainly torn boots, that need to be replaced. For things like axels, steering racks, ball joints, and tie rod ends, what are some good brands for these parts? Also, I'm debating between replacing an entire left axel or both tie rod ends instead of just...

I've been meaning to order a new, good quality Acura sun visor to shield my dashboard. Are there any still available specifically for the Integra that are actually made by Honda?

I'll be heading back to my hometown after finals this week and my car is scheduled for an oil change and all other routine maintenance. My engine is old obviously and losing power I know you're suppose to get a tune up around 80k-100k miles. If I scheduled a tune up, how effective will it be...

I've done quite a bit of cosmetic/upkeep work to my car. Had since I turned 16, so 2008. Want to keep track of my progress, post future updates, and open myself to some unique ideas from you guys. Basically, everything I have done or plan to do has been to give my car a cleaner look, run...
