Do you know a site i can order from for my acura. Loooking for performace parts and accessories. taillight,headlights etc..people told me i can put 1998 civic and its the same thing as the el. is that true ? they look alike but are the parts the same ?? thank you

admin answers:

Reason why you are not finding any performance part because it isn't a performance car. Why would K&N, BBK, AEM build air intakes for a car that isn't meant for speed. Do you see them making air intakes for mini vans? And if you can find one, don't expect much gain.

i have a 94 acura vigor, if i lower it 1.2 inches will i need to change the shocks?

and do the springs go over the shock/struts? and also what does a camber kit do. i found a set of shocks/struts for my car but it seem to only have 2 struts. does it mean my car only has 2 struts.

Short answer. No, you dont have to change shocks if you are only goin 1.2 in drop. A camber kit will allow you to adjust the angle of your camber so that your tire will be perpindicular to the road and not wear irregularly.

Paul asks…

What part do I need to replace the fog lights on my Acura 2006 TSX?

I need to replace the entire fog light assembly on my Acura TSX '06. The previous owner has left it with broken lenses and the silver housing has corroded. The ones I see on ebay have the black housing and says it will fit 04-06 TSX. Then I found others that says it will fit 06-08 TSX that look different, without the black housing.

For example:

With Black Housing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2004-2005-Acura-TSX-OEM-Smoke-Fog-Lights-W-Wiring-/120786875565?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2006%7CModel%3ATSX%7CMake%3AAcura&hash=item1c1f7574ad

Without Black Housing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-08-ACURA-TSX-PAIR-OEM-STYLE-FOG-LIGHTS-LAMPS-RH-LH-/180721867186?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CModel%3ATSX&hash=item2a13dcd9b2

Does anyone know which part I need exactly? My TSX '06 has the newer front body style than the older 04-05, and I'm also certain I would need to remove the front bumper to replace them.

Hello,

You'll most certainly need new fog light units, OEM part number 33901-SEC-A01 for the right and 33951-SEC-A01 for the left. Additionally, you'll probably also want to replace the fog light bulb while you're at it. The bulb is a 12V 55W unit, OEM part number 33165-S5A-003. Your fog light electrical connector should theoretically be fine, unless you have determined that the cord is frayed.


Hope this helps!

Mary asks…

I have a 1998 acura 3.0 cl 6cyl, the mechanic tells me there is silicone in my oil drain plug, what to do?

I went to get my oil changed and Mr.Lube told me they won't touch my car because my previous mechanic put silicone in my oil drain plug. This was done probably because the threads were worn out. What do I do?
Do I go to a mechanic and get him to re-apply the silicone?
Do I buy a rubber oil drain plug?
I found this and it seems good, but is it what I need (don't know too much about cars):

Thanks in advance

If the threads are worn on the oil pan, the new oil plug will do no good. I suggest you take your Acura to your mechanic for an oil change and tell him about the silicone. The quick-lube places are cheap, but they sometimes do more harm than good and usually try to get you to get services you may not need.
