RE: guy on 500cc bike thinks hes better

You'll probably get owned bad, unless it's some American P.O.S. Any jap bike, even that small displacement, is going to wreck you--unless it's like a rebel or some other weenie cruiser. It's all...

Coolant--why do we change it again?

Can someone give me a good reason why coolant is supposed to be changed? I've owned 2 Honda's and an Acura, all 3 went well over 100k, and I just now realized I never changed coolant, not once. No...

RE: Exposed metal -- how to protect it?

Pull what off, get back in my car? I used a screwdriver to pull apart the door seal just enough, and slipped a coat hangar in between there. After what felt like 50,000 re-bendings and...

Exposed metal -- how to protect it?

Ok, so long story short, I locked myself and had to bend a coat hanger to get back in. It wrecked the paint around the window seal. Paint got scratched off, and bare metal is showing. I want to...

Modifying an AEM CAI

I've had this thing for a year now, and I'm not impressed so far. It sits so far from the engine, you gotta wait until 4k to get any useable power. It's like your trying to pipe cement uphill to...

DIY brake shoe change?

It's time for new shoes in the rear, and my shop quoted me $180 for parts/labor to change the shoes out. I'd like to do this myself instead. I have access to lots of tools, and was wondering if...

B&M "Style" Short shifter-oh, ****.

Well, I got burned and wasn't paying attention when buying my short shifter on Ebay. It's B&M "style", how gay. Oh well. I got this thing with no instructions, just the shifter and a bag of rings....

RE: explain the different brake pads?

For brake pads I'd suggest ceramic. They can be a bit pricey, but will go the distance and do the job for what you want. Metallic is the best stopping power as far as I know, but they probably...

RE: Glow Gauges--can't find 12v source

You don't have to splice anything. Look for the biggest bulb on the back of the gauge cluster, and wrap the red wire (cut back + expose wire) around the base of the bulb, and screw it back in. ...

RE: New VTEC, but it's not a car.

It's really a V-4. You should hear one of these with an aftermarket exhaust, it sounds like a V-8 at full bore when you really turn it up. Bad ass, because people don't know what to think when they...

It happens turning on/off ramps with no brakes being applied, and cruising through a parking lot with no brakes applied.
