I know it’s not your thing Eric but my idea would be to replace the engine with a high output electric motor, maybe 175KW and a lithium battery pack, 1 under the hood and the other where the spare tire goes. A controller and liquid cooling system to do the magic.

Thanks for the help. I’m still kind of confused how the water diverts to a tube instead of into the cabin. I’d understand if the air intake is like a clothes dryer heat exhaust port, where it is mostly sheltered from the water if air is being sucked in.

OK so just so I have it clear, you recommend the silicone brake anti-seize not only obviously on the slider pins but on the shims/back of pads too, no petroleum anti-seize use at all? That’s what I plan on doing.

Thanks[quote=”jeremyfountain” post=59032]outstanding re vid loved the intake/echaust manifold explanation made my day[/quote]
LOL yeah that was aimed at me. I LOLed (Thanks Eric). I have a Civic, exhaust is by the radiator!

…………………………..There is also this letter from SEMA regarding the government clamping down on HID conversion kits because they are in violation of FMVSS 108:

[/quote]That article is 6 years old if you google “GOVERNMENT CLAMPS DOWN ON HID CONVERSION KITS”. May of 2007.
Obviously in that time the government has done nothing significant to hinder aftermarket HID kit sales or to citationize caught consumers.[quote=”Taffy R18″ post=58875]

Obviously in that time the government has done nothing significant to hinder aftermarket HID kit sales or to citationize caught consumers.High end halogens tend to have a short bulb life, that’s why a HID kit especially with a lifetime warranty saves money. (HIDgeeks is a scam, DDM is the only lifetime warranty (google “hidgeeks warranty”).
I don’t like the bluish bulbs either, they hurt the eyes more. 4500/5000K (white) HIDs or go back to Halogens. HID bulbs are pretty cheap. On Ebay they are about $24 shipped for a pair of hi/lows or about $10-15 for just lows (no solenoid). Cheaper than a pair of high end halogens. Funny how that is.
If he doesn’t want to use proper bulbs then that’s fine. Retrofitting can be expensive and a lot of work and with a newer car (not his) you have a vehicle warranty to protect.Illegal doesn’t mean anything, can’t get in much trouble.

It shouldn’t be junked imo. It’s the last few years of Civics that had a full wishbone suspension and lots of room under the hood for mods. Now all we have are Mcpherson.
In general the 1990s Civics and Accords are very reliable except for a few issues and their early CVT transmission in the HX. You have to make sure the engine doesn’t run out of oil though and keep the fluids clean!It shouldn’t be junked imo.

When the pedal is released, old fluid from the bottle gets sucked back into the line, right?
So how does that get rid of the remaining air? Why not gravity bleed until no more air instead of just gravity bleeding for part of the procedure?
Thanks. See http://www.youtube DOT com/watch?v=vOiHgP33CM4 at 26 minute markYour site fails at attempting to self embed youtube videos
Also, why use anti-seize on the specified corners of the brake pads, but not the same silicone paste you used on the slider pins. Doesn’t work as well as petroleum based anti-seize for brake pad quietness?
