    I had this car. Vent is dash vents, hilo is dash+floor, heat is floor, vdef is floor/windshield, orange is windshield. Rec is recirculate, fresh is outside air, a/c controls power to the compressor. In the center vent, that lever operates a heater bypass valve so that if its winter and you have the heat on, you flip it to the blue arrow and the air coming out of the two center vents is not heated so you can breathe easier. It's basically full manual control of the ac. You can press heat and keep the slider to cold and get ac on your feet. The whole system gets air from the cowl on fresh and from under the dash on rec. The center level is just a bypass to the heater core so it will get whatever air you have selected, it just won't flow through the heater core.

    the sound ur hearing is the door lock mechanism it basicly will relock or reunlock thats why u dont hear big click causes it is already in that position it is just moving the lock more to the position it is in. When the fuel pump is priming is when u press the start/stop button, logically speaking if it was priming while fueling that would be a recall it is definitely not fuel pump. The resson why u got amps when the car is unlocked is cause the car was unlocked and the computers were powering up as well.

    I have a similar problem but it just started. Been chasing hard start or hard running issues for a year or so now, and suspected it might be the fuel pump relay. Upon a bit of testing, i am not hearing any click from the relay at all, and there is no fuel pump sound when the key is clicked over. I don't know if its the relay that's been causing the issues or if its been the fuel pump on its way out, and I want to swap relays with a good one to eliminate this as the issue entirely, or part of the issue. I'm finding fuel pump relays' online with the model number RZ0088 saying they're interchangeable with the stock number, which is RZ0028. Can you confirm this? Id like to just buy and test from amazon, but they only have the RZ0088 and i don't wanna fry somethin. They're both 12v and look identical, just named differently.

      It just barely moves off center but still tells you if its charging or discharging. A voltage gauge is much better and safer.

    I got 2.6 and 2.7 front from just lowering with coil overs. My rear is at 1.5 and 1.4. Caster is 3.3 both sides. If one cranks the radius rods for more caster, it puts a bind on the arms. Don't want to do that! I autocross, and I feel it works very well. No need for more camber, but I like the TRW deals. I had no idea they existed! I wish you could post a link for those TRW parts!

    Do a video explaining the story on how you got the Accord and how long you've had it, and the cars you've had beforehand.

      I will thanks! I bought the Accord off the original owners and I wanted it the first time I saw it. After about a year the would let me drive it on beer runs but didnt sell it to me for another 2 years! I got some pictures of it but there film so Ill put something together. Great idea!

    I found some of the trw offset mount things you showed in the last vid on ebay, I paid like $45 for a set or something. Yes, I did need more than 2 degrees, when you turn that wheel hard you will contact the whole tire, on my track tires it was rolling over the sidewall just a hair. If I add more camber I can decrease the tire pressure for more grip, the less tire pressure the more the tire will flatten out and make contact, but it also causes it to roll over more on the sidewall. For street I don't really care what the camber is, the insides of the tires don't wear any faster, it just skews it all to the inside, so I might have to flip the tires in one of the rotations. Totally different setups though, Im pretty low and a masochist that sets his daily up for the track

    My experience with the prelude arms is they add a bit of positive caster and they don't get you a whole lot of camber to begin with, degree, maybe degree and a half depending on ride height and how straight your frame is. I wanted about 3 degrees front, I had to punch out the holes and Im still way short on the driver side where all the weight is. The front seems to have some positive camber gain with suspension compression, even with my shortened upper arm. Lowered cars probably need extended lower ball joints. Wondering if the LCA subframe mount can be slotted and moved out too. I probably need to get those off center UCA mounts too Ill get a real good idea of what camber I need this sunday, doing an autocross, but the best way to know is the wear marks on the tire. If there is any wear where the tread rounds the shoulder it needs more camber. Chalk is a good way to see exactly where the contact patch is in a corner if you cant see wear marks or youre doing repeated tests. It will depend on the tires youre running too, how much pressure, and sidewall stiffness And for caster, I have like 5 or 6 degrees, and thats also a big factor for how much camber you need, its probably the biggest factor actually. Since the max amount of camber you may ever get out of the front is around 3 degrees, a lot of caster might be a benefit. Fair warning though, I think this suspension geometry experiences a lot of jacking force, so road forces will translate into the wheel... might not be as bad with the super light factory power steering, but I dont have that

      All good points. I tried to keep the video on point at 17 mins most people loose interest.I steered clear discussing of modifying the lower BJ buts it how the modern cars adjust camber. My Jeep as an eccentric on the lower control arm that does it. I think they sell off set lower BJ for civics as well. Ill dive into that some later on videos. Im headed towards new 205/50/15 and an alignment with a shop here in town I been wanting to try.
