Yess, (sort of) found the problem. There is a connector in the back of the vehicle that seemed to cleaning. When i checked it, the lights began to work fine! I still dont know what exactly caused the problem. The wires themselves were not cut anywhere in the back. Maybe i missed it. Anyways, thanks ...

when you say coming on do you mean that it is flashing or is it working together with the stop light ? this would eleminate the flasher doubt if it is not flashing. It is working together with the brake light. It lights solid when you apply the brakes. i think that there is a short between the brak...

No, it is clearly coming on. You can see the difference between the left and right tail lights...

thanks rolandk and monsterpower. i'll have to continue checking tonight when i have some time. Here's what else i've noticed... When i mash the brakes, the indicator light comes on solid BUT when i put on the indicator, the brake light remains off.. Side question, generally, how are lights in a vehi...

On my way home after the class, i found myself scanning the road ahead looking for the best possibly line through the corners! Hmm, i wonder where the apex of this turn is etc... Like I said before, the information taught is invaluable, especially to new / inexperienced drivers. Thanks guys, ReneR

A good read on Nitrous Oxide...

3stagevtec

Nitrous Oxide (N2O) aka laughing gas, contains oxygen molecules, so when it is injected into your engine, it provides a boost in performance, like your turbo. A Turbo charged engine should be able to better handle Nitrous Oxide in my view because of the way they are designed. (but that's just my vie...

Ahhh shucks! I ain't seeing anything wrong in the rear light housing... I'll have to check all de wiring....

But what could have possibly gone wrong to cause such a problem?? anyone?

That's what i hoping for! Thanks

Problem, PLEASE be in the light housing....

Not very accurate though. I am getting a 0-60 time of 8.60s for my Civic. My actual time is more like 10.5s. If my car were manual, i would have managed low 9s...

This morning my Dad saw that the right rear indicator is coming on every time i step on the brakes of our Grand Vitara :? Only the right rear indicator is coming on, the front and side remains off. How the :twisted: did that happen? I'm gonna try to find the problem lunch time, but where do i start ...

Well well. Honda really gone way out just to change cams between auto and manual transmuissions for the VI range. Waste of design and R&D money IMO. But anyways, I still say 72whp sounding suspiciously low from an engine that supposed to be 130hp bhp (auto figures eh). So still check dem fellas. Th...

My dream Honda would be a factory EK3 with the EK9 Civic TypeR B16B engine. The car MUST look dead stock with original gauges etc. Other upgrade would be a better brake kit and 15" rim/tyres...

The CVT's tend to not work properly on the dyno, it gave problems with the Rover, and I think Cleriq also had probs with his Well well, im not alone! I dont think the CVT is as efficient as a manual, but i do believe it to be less power robbing that a regular automatic. From what i've read on the n...

who says its always 30% or less?? or a manual losses 15% NOT ME! I said around 15%.. 30%... They were estimates! I NEVER said always. Honda manual transmissions lose around 10-15%, their OLD automatics lose somewhere around 30% but their newer GLC gearboxes are said to be more efficient. Honestly t...

seen that vid already. They had to have run those cars previously to know the lap time of each. It was well planned for the overtaking on the last corner... Amazing speed of the F1 car.

No problem with de gas, a nice hot doubles with heavy pepper in the gas tank should make up the difference... If not, maybe some JW Black

If the car really made 72.9hp, then there would be a loss of 44% in the drive train... For an auto transmission, the % loss is around 30 or less. A manual transmission loses around 15% power...

Ok, I was wrong on my earlier post... I went home yesterday and checked over the results... I ACTUALLY made... 72.9hp at 6900rpm and then LOST power after VTEC engaged!! :o I also managed a maximum of 81.5ft-lbs of torque. I read elsewhere on the net that the SOHC D15B Civic Ferio Vi (CVT) made up t...

I wish i had tried the maxx bass and the epicenter also. I would have loved to hear what the epi would have sounded like when compaired with the BX-10 (since they are supposed to be almost the same). To hear all three units on the same system would really help in telling which one is the best. I wou...

The BX-10 is $800 in Sando. I installed it Saturday... and hated it! Seriously, it didnt sound like i expected it to. 1st, the Soundstream doesn't come with a manual nor is there one available on the Internet. So, i used the manual for the Epicenter i downloaded. Then, it sounds as though there is N...
