MDVACM Squad (Maryland and Virginia)

Sorry, Maryland, not Delaware, my brother gave me the wrong info.  I have to go to Maryland State University to see my niece do her thing in a national scholastic competition.  She's coming in from Kentucky.  It's that week and she'll be there for four days, so it's any one of those four days.

I'm assuming you mean University of Maryland.  watch out for the terps fans.. haha

[gargantula99]

Yeah, I guess so.

Anyone know a good/reliable auto shop around the Baltimore area?

No one but Paul has touched my car in years but I need to find some place local. Preferably some place used to working on modded cars.

[b_beau_09]

Sorry Ike, I think I'm the only one left that's active from the region, and I don't have any shops that I've specifically taken my car in to work on - nor do I have a modded car anymore

(side note - kind of sad that the last post in here was two years ago yesterday)

Revive boys!!!

unfortunately most everyone has moved on....I am one a of the few remaining members however my accord has really started to piss me off and I dont know how much longer I can take it.

[ikethegreat]

What is wrong with it?

[NVA-AV6]

Whats going on Ice?

Yeah I have to move, so moving to Front Royal, at least my new testing grounds is Skyline Drive.......l

[Icebox]

just overall frustrated,  1. had to ghetto rig the ac because the condenser isnt getting a signal to cut on. 2. there is a bit of lag in acceleration in 1st gear at high rpm's, around 5.5-6k.  3.  wishing it was possible to go back to stock gauges so i can have a properly working gas gauge and no gaps in fitment on the dash.  4.  and i want a wagon, i need more cargo space than the accord has to offer.

[NVA-AV6]

1. You mean condensor fan?
2. What is your AFR at that point? Sounds like tuning issue.
3. Check with Timbo, I know a friend of his was working on a generic CAN Bus interface.
4. Could always take modded power train and dump into a 5th gen Wagon......

1. i meant compressor, just had a brain fart.
2. when my aftermarket stereo crapped out, i went back to a stock stereo and thus my afr gauge is not hooked up.  I will have to hook up the laptop and run a data-log for you to check out.
3.  Tim had mentioned it the past but he had told me a reason it wouldn't work, cant remember the reason.
4.  I am interested in AWD and want something newer. I also have become an avid whitewater kayaker and need something that can handle the occasional off-road driving that needs to be done to get to some rivers and creeks that I paddle.

[ikethegreat]

Where do you go around here to kayak? 

[b_beau_09]

he's down in NoVA.. up here in MD I don't know of any places.. just tubing on Gunpowder Falls.

[NVA-AV6]

Actually ice is much further south. As for vehicle, how about CRV..... As for compressor signal, there is a relay near the ECU that controls the compressor, I have been having issues with the Radio Slack ones I was using back then, try changing it out.
