I have no idea how to organise courier for a weird shaped item, depending on how much postage is I guess. Maybe $50 shipped? That should cover it.
Its actually part of a custom lip at the moment, I joined up a 4th gen prelude lip on the bottom and made a more beefy one. I'm willing to sell both if you want it.

An oil professional? That looks like something out of the Valvoline catalog :zip: - and besides, I wouldn't put anything less than semi-synthetic in my engine. What's wrong with 15W-40? :eek:Quote:

Doesn't the manual have a sliding scale depending on temperature? I thought it was quite abit higher then that.Quote:

It mentions two grades. 5w-30 for all conditions, or 10w-30 so long as the temperature is above -10 degrees.Quote:

gotta question i OVER FILLED MY OIL once.. and it STILL hasnt gone done far enough when i mean over fill i mean a shit loadd lol
is this bad?? what can happen? and gime solutions too please :) (to like fixing problems i may have caused other then over filling)
and another question
What KIND of brake light does our car use? i wanna get the LED version cant seem to find it in shops i was gona try the net but i dont even know what model it is? or are all tail lights same shit?
Undo the bolt and let out some oil? How hard can it be? Whats the point fussing and being anxious about it when its just an easy fix.
As for brake lights, I dont think LED ones would make much of a difference to be honest.. just search ebay for 'LED brake light'.. most cars use the same brake lights (besides cars with stock LED brake lights of course, like BMW's etc)
the thing is i didnt REALISE IT WAS TO MUCHH my stick is retarted its not the original lol, i realised now AFTER I BOUGHT AN ORIGINAL ONE yes im gona let it out tomorrow lol dw im just saying would i have caused any damage? its been like 3 weeks
hey guys
does anyone have any spare original headlights that i can buy off them? ill pay for postage..my "angel eyes" headlights are absolutly f!@#ed
any help is greatley appreciated
iggie
iggie try ebay or wreckers, althought wreckers charge alot sometimes
Im using projector headlights atm but keeping my originals just incase something happens to them, but so many times ive seen on ebay the originals going for like 50 bucks or even less, just have to be patient and keep looking
good luck
you're better off going to like self serve "generic" wreckers, pick n payless, places like that (not too sure what you have up in NSW), because they're not specialised honda wreckers you pay less for most items.
