Default A few 5th gen probs.

well i got my ride about a 2 months ago now and i've been modding it here and there but before i do anything else i want to take care of a few things that have been bugging me.

1. my speedo is crazy. when i first start my car and until the engine is warm it bounces around like a mother, or stays at a speed about 20 below what i'm really going....any suggestions??

2. When i hit a bump i hear a high metallic rattling/ringing noise coming from my driver side rear wheel....i have no idea what it is...any suggestions????

3. Not really a problem just wanted to know how hard it is to install a new cigarette lighter...mine doesnt work.


4. i have a pretty bad vibration when i accelerate coming from my dash/glovebox area....i have reason to believe its my heating vents or something...any suggestions to stop the vibration?


thanks for your time guys

1. Get a new speed sensor.
2. Maybe a blown shock?
3. Umm.. just buy a new lighter, and push it in. Or the whole thing doesn't work? If that, I'm not sure.
4. Umm.. maybe some Dynamat or some sort of sound deadener would help?

Sorry, just throwing out suggestions.

the thing in the back right could be the honda jack bouncing around. i had that when i had my apexi WS on, but with the stock suspension there is no noise. just a thought though.

2. It could be your control arm hitting your dust blocker or w/e its called. I have that problem and thast what some guy told me. Could be a camber kit thing also. Wheel Spacer possibly too.
