I've been very seriously deciding to go with air/hydraulics. Do you have any pointers or websites I should visit to get some answers. My car is a daily driver in the great North (Michigan) so I need something that is reliable.

Just a short video of the Accord. Nothing special really, just wanted to hear the exhaust under normal and hard acceleration. Camera work courtesy of my wife. And scraping the driveway FTL.

SuperTrooper169 your car sounds awesome! Your driveway has one hell of a bump though. I would scrape the fuck out of my front lip.

Got my NRG Engine Torque Damper yesterday!

No more bucking and smoother shifts ... not to mention my motor mounts will be thanking me.

True, but I just don't have the patience at my old age to creep backward at a crazy angle to get out of the driveway without scaping. Plus we have two huge rocks on each side that make things a little difficult to cut it at a sharp angle.

And thanks!

I have a rather weird problem on my 04. The clutch pedal doesn't come back up sometimes after I press it. It doesn't do it often and I know how to put my foot under and pull it back up manually but if any other person drives the car, the pedal stays down every once in a while. Any ideas on this?

I hope it's not my master cylinder going again as it's only a few months old but I don't think it is.

Check the master and slave cylinders for leaks. Hows the fluid level?

Any odd noises coming from the clutch?

Taking it in tomorrow to see why it's doing that.

There was a little click inside when I was pressing the clutch today. Other times I'm told you can hear something from outside when the clutch is being pressed.

Even with a stick it takes a hell of a lot of skill to pull down a good time.

I wonder what my auto fourcylinder would pull

Yea, the 6MTs are hard to launch, but Id expect 14s from it. Then again, I do have to take elevation into account.

Just thought I'd share. My Accord has used quite a bit of oil in the last couple of weeks. I put a large piece of cardboard underneath it tonight to see if there's a leak.

Yea elevation makes a difference, the strip is more then a mile high, plus first time to the strip, also gonna see if higher octane gas and fresh oil makes any difference, I was at 20% oil life. My friend at the same strip ran 17's with his 2005 tl auto with some boltons, same with a 2nd gen.

Had a fender bender with my 04 yesterday. Nothing really bad but some douchebag merged over into my lane on purpose and I was basically sandwiched between two cars. Nothing too bad but I'm guessing at least 500-700$ worth of damage.
