With my small fleet of 2 other 1996 Honda Accords, I picked up a parts car to scrap and get all kinds of parts for a heck of a deal. Found a 132k mile wagon - timing belt just done, but the son of the previous owner was racing it??!?!? Over revved it, has valve damage. It runs (2.2 liter 4 cyl)...

Hello all: I have a 1996 Honda Accord LX 2.2 four cylinder, the car will not crank. The battery is fine, the starter I just replaced, it acts like it has a short when you turn the key to crank it. The idiot lights go dim, it makes a small click before the lights dim out. It "recovers" (stops...

Hello all! Living the dream again. Bought another '96 Honda Accord. This one is an EX sedan. Sunroof (leaks), alloy wheels (dirty and leaking air), power drivers seat (dirty but still works!), the entire car wreaks of marijuana and wet carpet. Unknown miles, the odometer jammed at 133,999. Have...

Could not stand the surface scratches in the black paint of my electric, so I pulled out the buffer, put on a red (maroon) Meg's foam cutting pad, and used Ultimate Compound to clean up the car. Very happy with the results. I think this car was an automatic car wash victim (with little/any wax)...

Bought a 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV. 2,600 miles on it. The market on these cars is absolutely nuts. Most of the 2012's were leased, those cars are coming back from lease. The cheap gas prices and limited range of an electric car have pounded the resale. My car had a sticker price of $35k, I bought...

Just wondering if there are any train buffs here. I am traveling to Rochelle, IL to see the RR diamond. I believe the two lines are Burlington Northern and Union Pacific. SUPER excited! Any tips to see the most trains would be appreciated! It will be a train extravaganza all day! Rochelle to...

I had read a bunch about Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Figured the finish on the Accord was neglected enough to try it out. I just bought this car around a month ago. I used a buffer I got from Harbor Freight - used the buffing pad that came with it. I have Meguiar's pads coming, but they have...

Never done this before. http://s742.photobucket.com/user/Dutchbrad/media/019_zpsa42ef88e.jpg.html?sort=3&o=5 http://s742.photobucket.com/user/Dutchbrad/media/023_zps9541a567.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4

Hello all: My mechanic has a 1996 Honda Accord 4 cylinder 4 door for sale. 216k miles, it broke a timing belt and has a bent valve. Apparently this is pretty common when this happens based on my research. He replaced the timing belt hoping there were no bent valves. It has the diesel like clunk...

I purchased a LC9 from my buddy. Here in West Michigan this is a $400 gun, paid $250. Been shot 49 times is what my friend told me. SUPER excited, want to keep this one a long time. Wondering if any one has maintenance tips or other items to look for?

I have a Weber Kettle grill, and when I am done grilling I close the vents and let the charcoal go out. When I am ready to grill again, the used charcoal goes in the bottom of my chimney starter, and fresh charcoal goes on top. I find I can get at least 2 grilling sessions out of most of the...

Here are my predictions. Joey Lagano will get wrecked, maybe multiple times. Danika will be at least 2 laps down by the end of the race, and Kevin Harvick will win....Go #29!!!!

I ordered 5 of these boxes the other night, they are backordered, but was told by a friend that was just at one of their stores a few weeks ago they had SKIDS of these. I figure at this price I can wait for the restock to come in...

This was a one year run on QSUD 5w20. Used a Purolator Pure One filter. Picked up this oil free after rebate! Thought I would give it a try. I usually use PP 5w20. This van is mostly used in town, most trips are less than 10 miles. Total miles on van - 88,800, this oil was in service 6,735...

A friend cannot use them, so I am Indy bound baby!! Awesome seats - just past the start finish line on the infield side, behind the pits. They call it the Pit Road Terrace. Tickets have a face value of $80 ticket each. A buddy of mine will be going with me. I am not really an open wheel fan, I...

Took a Kia Rio for a spin today. WOW - that is a nice car. It was the base LX model, 6 speed manual, crank windows, no power locks, but it comes with AC standard. Just the way I like it - less to break. Plenty of pep, the electric power steering felt a bit light, but I am used to that lighter...

1996 Chevy Astro - 4.3 Vortec V-6 107k on van - the starter clicks while starting the van? Not all the time, it seems to happen in colder (40F or below) temps. Sounds like the clicking when your battery is dead, but the starter does start the van. It clicks as long as I am cranking the starter...

Flew down out of Grand Rapids, MI through Detroit to Tampa, FL. Left yesterday @ 5am for the airport, got to Tampa @ 11am, my elderly parents met me at the airport, then I drove them back to West Michigan (1250 miles) - getting home late this afternoon. Traffic was light most of the way, cruised...

Hendrick appeal denied

Any 50cc scooter owners out there? I took out the scooter (2008 Keeway Hurricane)today from its long winter nap, cleaned the main carb jet, cleaned out the bowl and also replaced the spark plug. I took it for a 14 mile shake down ride. The engine runs fine off idle and when it first gets going...
