The car has ~200k on it and it is still drive like a butter. Anyway, I'm going to retire the car through the government program. I know it is really hard to let it goes but it needs to spare the air lol. I'm going to get a 2gen TSX hopefully by the end of the month. I have some few items to get rid off (for sale): PM for $.
Exterior:
Retrofitted headlights. Maybe! I'm not sure.
Wing west front lip
02 Chrome wheels with Continental DW less than 1yr old ( local pick up 408 area)
Magnaflow vip muffler
04 Acura RL taillight
Interior
passenger seat Tan color
Rear seat
Pioneer AVH DVD 1400DVD
Alpine type S component 6.5"
Alpine 6x9"
Boston 12" G1 sub without box
Sound Ordnance M-4075

Sorry to see you go ![Frown](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
How are your headlights retrofitted? Projectors? Any pics? ?![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
What are you looking for for the 04 tailights?
And how about the pioneer AVH unit as well?
Thanks

That really sucks about the engine though. How much is the government program giving you? Won't they just scrap it?
And I know its not on the list but are you willing to sell the AC control unit? I'm interested in dismantling one to consider an led swap.

But at the same time... I was in that situation.
'96 with 274,xxx miles... bought a replacement and no problems. Swapped over all my parts to the new one and didn't waste any more money buying parts for anything. In the long run, replacing the '96 with the '04 saved more money and i got a reliable car with it.
Just a suggestion.

Would you consider selling it? I just want the guts of it. I don't care about condition of the face.

It lives on!!!

I did an tune up. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the ignition coil, it was soaking with oil. Which kind of piss me off because I spent $250 to replace the valve gasket and it still had oil in it! I also added heavier oil to the car and run a bottle of techron in the gas tank.
The car will live for another two years, I don't know if it going to live another year or not lol

Ok guys, I need your opinion on this. I getting tired to fill the power steering fluid every three days lol, so I need to get this fix ASAP. So I got a quote from wheelworks to replace the rack and pinion for $1200. The part cost $641, and I forget to ask them if the part rebuild or new and the labor is $540. Should I go for it? My coilover is push back to the end of the year

There are DIY on how to swap it out yourself... and from what i've seen / been told from people / friends that have done it... if you have a lift, it's is a very easy job.
So, go to Autozone and buy a Lifetime Warranty part and replace it yourself and call it a day. I'm about to do the same thing. Why pay someone to do it when there is info and plenty of help all over?

I'm sure it looks more challenging than what it really is.

Just a little update. We started the project and it was a b*tch. My bro spent 4 hrs today removing and installing the steering tack, and isnt even finish yet. The metal pipes were so difficult to put back on and we just wait till tomorrow and see what happen. Anyway, I got the rack for $175 plus $50 for the core. Hopefully the rack is not going to leak in 3 days lol

Well, we finally finished the project! It took 9hrs for this and it was very frustrating to deal with it. Now my steering is crooked to the side, oh well I have to drive like this until have some time to fix it. Next mod, 5zigen fireball mega exhuast! LOL
