Re: Electrical System Problem

use baking soda, that has worked for me alot.
first put some baking sode in a cup with a lil water to make it look like sludge then put it on the terminals and let it sit for a bit then scrub away.

Re: Temp Gage Busted?

you could also check for cool spots in the radiator to see if some chambers are clogged. remember when your at idle no air is going threw the radiator so it gets hotter and when you drive air passes threw the rad and cools it down, i was having this problem with my rx7 before.

Re: camber kit

i was told once that you had to give the front tires half a degree or a lil less of toe for the crown on the road. i always thought most hondas where mcpherson struts not SLA (sybian liberation army) j/k.

Re: camber kit

Re: camber kit

basically the camber bolts change the angle of the rim/tire. it makes the wheel vertical. the problem with lowering your car is that it gives it too much negative camber. the tires butterfly out like an old VW Bug, and it eats up the inside part of the tires. i know somebody is going to chime in wit...

Re: clicking sound when idling

i get that same noise. it sounds more like a arc, kind of like sparkin is grounding on somethin and it definitely is coming from the a/c compressor. it happens to me when i have the a/c on and i come to a light.
