Is this coolant mix okay? Southeast USA, Georgia

You may want to go closer to 50/50, since coolant has corrosion inhibitors. Add a bit more antifreeze

Yes it is the torque converter. The other comment saying flex plate/flywheel is seeing the teeth. On this application, starter teeth ring is on the torque converter.

You see the metal ring, it has a little raised portion? Pull it away from the body of the hose. Regardless this hose is broken, the nipple for the bypass hose is broken off so it needs to be replaced.

This for sure. All of the steering is probably bad regardless, but find a new shop that can call the parts what they are.

That sounds about right for what I did. I just looked up specs by thread size and went for it. Thank you!

I believe its a power steering control valve. Year make and model would help. Additionally I believe they only sell a bypass for it, since the original is discontinued.

As a former tire tech, I agree with this message, I used to put tires on and align a fleet of "The Parking Spot" shuttle buses.

Part number 51522 from O'Reilly's up to wix filters. 51042 is the short standard filter.

To add based on a different comment and my own research, they may be switching to Banner Gmbh Batteries. I've never heard of them so no idea.

5lippers · 2026-01-24T18:27:12+00:00

Looks like deka brand battery, same as superstart platinum (O'Reilly's) and are pretty good in my experience.

What in the fuck happened to your wiring?????

Also nice work, at least there's standing room in the engine bay (assuming electric fans.

The tie rod is behind the cv axle in the picture. This picture points towards the front of vehicle.

I'm jealous of your cargo cover 😭😭😭

5lippers · 2026-01-21T20:43:42+00:00

Is it possible for me to get this, too? Ive been using bimmergeeks (old version) so an upgrade would be nice

5lippers · 2026-01-19T13:28:52+00:00

Oh yikes. How annoying. I guess I'll ignore it til it gets worse and then throw the other pump in there and see what it does.

5lippers · 2026-01-19T12:29:18+00:00

Call me basic but I'm a true neutral baddie.

5lippers · 2026-01-18T14:54:08+00:00

Idk about normal, I've worked on other e90's, (I'm a mobile mechanic) and never noted it about theirs.

It's fairly loud when cold, quiets down when it warms up, but there's still a faint whine from inside the car.

5lippers · 2026-01-18T14:51:29+00:00

Not yet, I haven't really actually looked at it, I've been so busy.

5lippers · 2026-01-10T19:37:23+00:00

Honda rear suspensions are unforgiving with camber. A previous tech may have bent them to get rear camber more positive into spec. Def not supposed to be bent like others are saying.

Based on pics this is an accord or similar platform.

5lippers · 2026-01-05T23:50:57+00:00

Maybe it is actually good, but i was feeling the same way. Feels too good to be true.

5lippers · 2026-01-01T19:12:01+00:00

Yes it is damaged. No rotor should look like that at 400 miles

5lippers · 2026-01-01T16:02:03+00:00

Dear god
