exactly.. we're not talking race car power, lol! I've always found if you have more power you always get better mpg's, obvious sure, but thought it was worth mentioning. glad you got it working like it should!

ahh okay so then I'm not imagining, they did change it as it went along. So then the 94 EX Accord coupe that I drove is more like yours now. The throws were not that long and the clutch had a smooth take up but you could definitely feel the engagement point. I know it was a cable actuated...

Yes, I don't doubt it. Just replaced the fuel pump in the Civic and fuel economy DID jump up about 2-3mpgs, not to mention more power. And yes running the a/c didn't even affect it like it used to! I think it's more about the flow of the fuel to meet demand. I had tested the pressure of the...

yup my exedy stage 1 clutch disk does look like a Honda clutch disk, but it has more copper "strands" in it for heavier duty usage. Not that my stock engine is heavy duty, lol! It's just a much more positive engagement, as I mentioned in your other thread, the 94 Accord I drove as a loaner...

Cool.. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.. Keep us posted to the results. (y) I know with my 96 Civic the stock clutch was way too mushy, numb.. I had to upgrade it to a stiffer stage 1 clutch. But when I drove a 94 Accord (back in the day, new), that stock clutch was fine, not mushy at...

awesome! yup see even Exedy will admit it's the same flywheel in the box! Isn't it crazy that Honda puts the Exedy part in a Honda box and all of a sudden it's worth that much more?! Honda is getting really crazy with their prices lately and I have seen it for awhile now. Not just recent...

hey zmelli.. I believe that "DK" stands for Daikin which is Exedy's brand in Japan. My stage 1 clutch from Exedy has that same logo stamped on it. I've attached the pictures of my pressure plate showing the same thing plus "Made In Japan" stamped next to it. The Daikin you can see on the...

wow.. welcome to insane world! crazy enough I just have to laugh, easier than crying! :ROFLMAO:

hey glad to help! you're welcome (y) You'll see the change is subtle but I think it's well worth it.. Post up your findings/what you think once you install it..

hey shel! No it doesn't make the ride "Stiffer" it stiffens up the chassis. For example, on my 96 Civic when I'd be on the highway and come up behind a semi-trailer, the front end would end up "dancing" left and right. Very odd. I installed a front strut tower brace/bar and bam! No more...

It's funny how your 93 Accord has followed some of the same issues my 96 Civic has! I just did this last year. I did compare Honda's price (insane) with Exedy's price (about $80 before inflation hit). Turns out when the original stock Honda flywheel was removed it has the exact same casting...

sure it can be easy for anyone to blame "made in china" junk can be made anywhere. but in reality someone asked China to make that sad looking filter. Yeah @Subarudude I'd return that no matter what the name on the box is, your "car sense" is kicking in telling you not to use that in your...

Yes most of your newer a/c coils are micro channel.. Think since 2000, that was the age of the one I cleaned a couple years ago..And yes they are aluminum (good heat sink). Micro channel is just that, micro. They are the really small, thin-width serpentine fins. Did some research and found some...

The 2000 engine is a different generation than the 2005 2az-fe engine. So having a different outcome where yours wasn't as varnished makes sense. From what I remember hearing, Toyota, for the newer 2005 engine..upped the thermostat temps and some other modifications to eliminate the earlier...

hey no problem.. here's a link to show you exactly what I bought.. also.. I never took the compressor box apart, didn't know (a/c was very old) if I'd be able to get it back together! Just sprayed between the vents and let it foam up.. oh and when you do spray, spray lightly, it comes out as a...
