it's the way it's plumbed to make sure all the air gets out, remember it's also a diagnonal split braking system, so front wheel,opposite rear wheel, rinse,lather,repeat

re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!
My car has a hole in the exhaust and I need to replace it but I'm not sure what would be the best choice as a replacement... I don't want the loud obnoxious buzz bomb (I live in the ghetto and that screams "Steal me! My owner loves me!") and would like something quiet and, if possible, pick up the MPG... Any thoughts? This is my first old school car and really want to take good care of it and deck it out.
Thanks for any help you can provide me.

on what car? summit has a bunch of pumps that will do that, most pumps for that kind of horsepower are belt driven off of the engine though.

I want to get an alarm on my car because of all the crackheads that are around my area and wouldn't mind getting key-less entry installed also, is that possible on a 87 Accord LXi Sedan?

re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!
any good suggestion on a bad nut. It was striped and seized, so I went and bought a nut splitter which was to large. So I ended up having to try and drill the nut in half, trying to see if I could get it to break.
However it would seem the nutl is now mixing with the stud and preventing me from breaking it off. T_T looks like I'm going to have to break the stud to get it to work. so this has set me back about 4 hours. which is going to be even longer till I get it off tomorrow *which I only have till 3pm to do, since I have a welcome home party*

where are you going to get that kind of horsepower? the belt driven one is probably the best bet,not a lot of selection when you are talking about that kind of horsepower

yup, just get a cheap alarm and if you're good with wiring, you can install it yourself.

is it by any chance a exhaust nut? if so, hammering a smaller 12 point socket over it sometimes works for me. if it's one that you can access easily, a pipe wrench usually works good

Read my question again. EVERY car is a split system. Why is the 3g's bleed sequence different from everyone else's?

Its the Right nut on the EGR Return line. no way I could even use a wrench on it, half the nut is pretty much gone, not to mention it is in such a horrible spot to begin with, If I can't get it off I can't finish the work on the car. and It pissed me off I wasn't able to at the very least get the crank out today.
I should be able to get the rest of it off if I keep drilling, but its such a pain in the ass.

because of where that wheel is in relation to the proportioning valve, fluid has to travel all the way from the master to the proportioning valve, then turn around and go back to the side of the car with the master, and down to the brake, on the other side it goes from the master to the proportioning valve, then right from the valve down to the brake, i'm leaving the two rear brakes out of this, as the fact the valve is between them and the master, changes the way they bleed.

oh is it that little 12mm one thats almost impossible to get to? I would hammer a smaller socket over it or (if you have access to a welder) weld something to it that you can undo

Thank you for getting back to me! I was told by a friend that I couldn't get key-less entry with the car, but the doors are electric so I couldn't see why that would be an issue.
Unfortunately, I'm not electrically inclined, so I may need to get it installed from a shop or something, but I can't imagine that will be toooo expensive.

I think that just came out this year for the facelifted Civic (they are calling it a next generation). That ninja commercial is so JDM. I lol'd too. Dekotora and 8 bit graphics FTW!
