I've looked on RockAuto and Amazon for front rotors on my non-ABS '92 LX wagon. I'm having the school I attend replace the rotors and pads for me, since it's $300-$400 to replace them at a shop. This car's my daily driver, so no need for high-performance, nor "economy" shopping. Since I'm...

No. The car's parked for winter. I'm planning ahead so I can fix it this Spring. Thanks for the tip about the free continuity test. I figured I'd have to put my multimeter to use.

As a last case scenario, I'd like a switch inside the car that can disconnect the battery from everything. A toggle or push-button switch would be nice. I'm hoping I can isolate the circuit (or replace a faulty wire) by wiring a switch through the car's fuse box. If I have to, I'll isolate...

I either have a bad battery or an electrical drain. If it's an electrical drain I can't repair, I'll isolate it. I want to wire a switch in so that I can turn the power off from the battery. I would appreciate some suggestions. I'm thinking about buying this...

OK. Those are both definitely good options. Thanks.

Of the 1990-2002 Accords, when did they stop using the captive rotors? I believe that's what they're called when the bearing is pressed in to the rotor. I'd like to avoid that hassle, if I can. Thanks.

Well, I didn't buy the parts car. I'm looking at front brake rotors now. If the tech school mechanic program can't fit it in, I'll replace them myself next Spring. Do these look decent? Amazon.com: Brembo 25320 Front Ventilated Brake Rotor: Automotive

OK, thanks. Yea, I considered both options- neither work for me. It's gamble and hope, or pay the $100 towing fee up-front.

I don't know what that means. For $300, I just might buy it. I'm gonna look at it tomorrow. He says it still runs and that I might be able to drive it the 25 miles home. Bad part is, there's heavy road construction in that area. If I breakdown, it'll hold-up traffic for miles, not to...

I forgot to add, I believe, it's an EX wagon.

I'm going to take a look at this tomorrow. I'm assuming it'd work with my LX wagon, but I figured I'd get confirmation. Thanks.

Heh. Yea, that sounds like a job...but maybe one that I'd love. Just tell me what it is. :D What I'd really like is a Geo Metro, but that's for another forum. If it's in good condition, they're selling for a lot of money these days. I think the Accord will be a good winter car...

It's hard to say from the pics, but in northern Minnesota, believe me, that's in damn good shape for a '90. If you can't see rust holes or big patches of rust, it's in good shape. I'm asking more out of curiosity. This all started because I need another hobby. The only thing I really...

Greek to me. Would my motor work in this? 1990 Honda civic 4cyl.4 speed

This is good to know. Thanks. I've searched the old and new ads on craigslist for my area- There are very few Preludes or Civics. Accords aren't too hard-to-find, but I've got time. One more winter rusting the holes in my current wagon is one less winter rusting my new car. :D

$600. I wasn't clear. I originally intended to find a car with a bad motor to drop it in. Now I'm thinking that I'll buy a car in good condition and drive it back from Vegas- unless I can find one in Minnesota that's not a rusted-out p.o.s.- I'll then have a spare motor. I was wondering if...

That's a nice range for me to work with. I like the '94 and '95 styling of the Accords. I like the Preludes that I've seen on craigslist too. Plus, no transmission bolting problems if I stick with those years. That's exactly what I need- no added expense with a kit. How much of a pain is it...

Some additional info I found with the folder of maintenance records I have for it. "2156 cc SOHC 4-cylinder 16-valve engine w/programmed fueled injection" "Engine No. F22A1-3595178" "4-speed automatic transmission. Feedback Fuel System"

OK. What years would I be looking for? Also, what do I need to know about my motor and transmission in order to match a body/frame with them? Thanks.

First, I'm not a motorhead. I actually hate working on cars. This past weekend, I picked-up a 1992 Honda Accord LX wagon. 105,000 original miles and an automatic. The body has a few rust holes above the rear wheel wells and on the driver's door. I intend to drive it until I can find a car...
