A sort-of HONDA related heater core story – 1968 still in high school working as a night mechanic/gas pumper at a US PURE gas station. I was riding to work on a Honda 305 scrambler and a customer with a 60-something mustang 289 wanted to race me, or maybe my big mouth was an issue(?) After about...

Refurbishing the AC system on my 92. Staying with R12. I see folks recommending Integra and Legend units to save money or get a bit more capacity. I jumped the gun and purchased a legend unit and see it is not the right bolt pattern and will return it. So i need to go to school on my options...

Starting to gather parts for a 3.2 build and noticed the Foundry bracket. Haven't yet gotten an email response and their site initially showed it was not available, but it now shows the ability to order so it may be available. Based on an old thread about smaller lighter alternators, i don't...

I have as set of dealer Microfiche from WAY back - 7 cards which is "think" is a complete set for 91 thru 96. Now that online folks like AcuraPartsWarehouse may not keep the parts listings forever, i'm thinking about having them digitized. Of course these cards will likely not include any...

I recently purchased the ATR-Racing rear window from Austria. I suspect we are all more than a bit skeptical of aftermarket parts in general, but this product is outstanding (Arnold would be proud). They fabricate their own CF frame and glue it to the window just like OE, so no visible screws...

After with winter of 2022 I found a quarter sized spot of anit-freeze on my garage floor that I can see came from a the ½” rubber 90 degree “to air” elbow right under the heater core box area. I assume this elbow is to prevent moisture in the heater core plastic “box”. So I pressured tested the...

Deleting my clutch damper and purchased the POLE-2-FLAG flex hose. It looks REALLY nice, however adding a second flex hose is not as good simply making a new "jumper" line. To make sure i don't get galvanic corrosion from different materials, ideally i should use the exact same material and...

Did some testing to find the best adhesive to use on our broken mostly interior parts. Honda used a very common and easily repaired ABS plastic on the interior parts including elec connectors. Fender liners and the front radiator shield for example are “semi-flexible” plastics and are NOT...

Pulled my front fender liners/radiator shrouds recently and quite a few fasteners 91545-SE0-003 crumbled in my hands so i'm wanting to replace them all and wondering if anyone has found an OE (Japanese?) honda supplier that will sell in bulk. They are available OE for $4.77 each but i'm...

30 year owner of 92 w/25k miles that runs great, but have a likely self imposed lighting mess. About a year ago I crossed the subwoofer power leads.(with the key and radio on!) and blew the stereo which also blew the ignition switch and around that time lost right taillight, left turn signal...

Recently installed Recaro's and i found i had to stretch my clutch leg a bit which bothered me. So after looking at the clutch geometry and instead of messing with the pedal height, i pulled the pedal and welded a 9/16" piece in the pedal itself just behind the pedal pad. Yes it's a bit or...

Just did my valve cover gaskets and noticed that my camshaft lobes were totally DRY after about 7 months! Arrg, I assumed that modern day mobil one 10-30 would leave a little bit on the lobes – not so. As we know a very large part of engine wear occurs at start up. Crank/rod bearings and cams...

Will the 3.2 axle boots work on a 3.0?. Need new boots on my 92. Wondering if the 42017-sl0-020 3.2 boots which ares till availalbe will work where 42017-sl0-000 is called for. If memory serves the later axles are a bit bigger(?) Thanks!

Hey Brothers. Had my 92 coupe since 93 cold dead hands car. While the ignition and the radio were on I stupidly touched the two subwoofer spkr wires together. I hear a pop in the dash and then a split second later another smaller pop. No burnt wire smell, lost dash lights and of course radio...

So i just did a TB/WP job and all the LarryB coolant hoses. All went well, except a relulting oil leak. It was dripping in the area of the oil coolant block but after drying all off and rerunning the engine i found a healthy leak from about an inch above the dipstick tube/block junction. At...

Finishing up my TB/WP & cooling hoses. Question is on the accorn nuts that hold the valve covers down. When i saw a shoulder on the bolts that these nuts go on, i surmised that these accorn nuts bottom out meaning you take them all the way down to the shoulder and then torque. Now that i'm...

In the middle of the TB/WP and cooling hose job. Noticed my rear bank intake cam pulley is chewing into it's plastic cover. The terrible hack saw like edge on the cam pulley perimeter has ate about .040" into the cover in an arc about 3" long. Obvisously i could remove the pulley and file it...

I purchased the Larry B "kit" for cooling hoses and TB/WP job. I've got three o rings that i can't figure out what they are for(?). There are (2)-19012-PD2-004 which are about 3/8" dia, and (1)-91302-GE0-000 thats slightly larger. Anyone remember where these go? I don't recall taking these...

Has anyone taken the time to figure the discount for the SOS OE 17 piece hose set. Are they all OE? I'm seeing a 22% free ship discount from acurapartsworld and 25% plus ship at other sites. Going to do all hoses and TB/WP, all OE. Who's good, who's bad? TIA

Bought a 09 RDX for a DD. Very happy with it but hate the dated chrome door handles so a bought new sets for $90 total. From google folks have used brake fluid, bleach, muriatic acid, pine sol, oven cleaner and a lot more. So far none have worked although i haven't yet tried the oven cleaner...

Am i missing something? I can almost never find anything with search. As an example I just searched the detailing catagory with only the word "wax" and didn't get a hit. Is there a trick to this? I was a member of the original big list and it's search worked very well. I wish we had access...

Just bought a 09 RDX. I generally buy paper manuals, but i only see the DVD and PDF ones for sale. Anyone know how good these are? TIA

Long time since i have researched. Do we have a low sheen protectant for the dash available now? Been using 303 but it is not low sheen at all. TIA

Looking for a vehicle my wife and i will share. My wife likes the new CRV but we drove a low mileage RDX for the same money that started my wheels rolling. While i do not like turbo's all that much, the RDX is really fun to drive and has to be considered even though the 21 mpg really sucks...
