Dry battery honda accord s84/s86

2011-09-19T10:55:00.000+08:00

On 7 september 2011 the battery died. luckily its happend in the garage. Change with new battery (dry battery) brand century and cost me Rm300 and minus rm20 for 2 old battery which I keep for too long in the garage.

How do I know that the battery just dead, when i open the door no hazard light blink, radio and clock almost dissappear and of course couldnt start the car. The battery is almost 2 1/2 years old and its not a dry battery.

Its a great idea to have voltmeter in the car, it helps us from stranded nowhere and its cheap, you can get for only Rm50-80 only.

Honda accord HID from HIDIllusionz

2011-06-27T10:00:00.000+08:00

This video show how the Honda Accord 6th gen or S84/S86 for Malaysia year 1998-2002 converted the lower headlight reflector. Currently installed not so bright and clearly seen only in dark situation/night. I plan to change it to HID but no luck so far, there is no HID bulb match. Thinking of LED, but too many LED on the road now and that wont make my ride looks special.

Looking forward to hear from any readers here where and how to have this HID for lower headlight reflector for 6th gen accord.

Spring or screw clamps

2011-06-02T17:00:00.000+08:00

There are two type of radiator hose fastener commonly used, 1. screw type 2. spring clamps. Most of the vehicle owner prefer to use the screw type clamp, this clamp seem doing the job best. Fortunately for the upper or lower radiator hose which hold pressure this screw type is not the best.

Over the time the rubber (radiator hose) will flatten/shrink but the clamp maintain its condition/position. This will lead to water/coolant spray out within the hose end.

So the best clamp to use is spring type, even the hose flatten/shrink the clamp will continue doing his job, because the spring type keep clamping as hose shrink.

The screw types is also dangerous if you not properly tighten the screw. As you tighten the screw the lower part of the clamps that move will scratch the hose and making hole without anyone notice it. The harder you tighten up the screw the deeper the metal push inside the hose and created bigger holes.

Upper radiator hose and lower hose rock hard

2011-05-18T22:24:00.000+08:00

I had this problem since few month ago, the upper and lower hose get so tight like rock hard, then it start to spray hot water from the joint at the engine block, like water sprinkler. I change the new OEM hose and with new screw type hose tighten. Even the hose is rock hard but my engine not overheated.

After a month the water start spraying again at the same spot. I googled around and found that, most the cases they suggested to change the thermostat, but after 2 days reading I came out with this idea that everyone should follow if you had the same problem.

1. Check whether there are no air bubble in the cooling system. If problem persist continue to step 2.

2. Change the thermostat, most probably the thermostat stuck closed so the water did not circulate. if problem persist continue stage 3.

3. Flush the radiator, maybe stuck radiator block the water from circulate. if problem persist, hope not.

4. Could be your head gasket blown.

Luckily after done removing the air from the cooling system, my upper and lower hose did not rock hard anymore. At normal operating temperature I can squeeze a bit the upper and lower hose.

How to remove the air? I have done this test on Honda Accord S84/S86 year 2000 2.0cc (6th generation) with factory fitted engine.

1. Remove the radiator cap.

2. Start the engine and run the air conditioning in order to let the fan and thermostat open faster.

3. During the engine running with radiator cap open squeeze the upper and lower hose to let the air come out faster. Repeat the squeezing. Fill the radiator with water if needed.Continue doing this until the fan start to run.

This to ensure the thermostat is open and the water is properly circulate and air being push out from the system.

4. After 15 minutes, turn off the engine and close the radiator cap as usual. Than start the engine and let the engine running for about 10 minutes. Now try to squeeze back the radiator hose, the hose now is squeezable.

My problem solved by doing the first step only. If your problem persist after doing the step 1, than luck is not on your side so keep trying with the next step.

Hope this help to solve your problem.

How to CF4 bumper and S84/S86

2011-05-14T16:56:00.000+08:00

The red line is the cutting line for CF4 bumper which you need to paste it on the S84/86 bumper. But this really need a steady hand to do it. On the other word we still using the original S84/86 bumper but with the CF4 cut on it. Need lots of effort to do it.

But remember once you knock down your bumper you need to standby 2 sets of bumper and of course more $$$ to restore to the same face again.

Say goodbye to dairy product

2010-08-16T12:24:00.003+08:00

Subject: Why women in China do not get breast cancer Extracted from "YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS" by Prof. Jane Plant.

I guess this is something that is worth your couple of minutes to read. Pls share with your wife, daughters, sisters, girl friends ..... Summary:- 1) Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from breast cancer. 2) The Chinese do not eat dairy produce! 3) Observation : Elimination of dairy products caused the cancerous lump to shrink within days

Extracted from Your Life in Your Hands, by Professor Jane Plant. I had no alternative but to die or to try to find a cure for myself.

I am a scientist - surely there was a rational explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12 women in the UK ? I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy. I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful home and two young children to care for.

I desperately wanted to live. Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time. Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk factors, which we can control easily. These 'controllable' risk factors readily translate into simple changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help prevent or treat breast cancer.

My message is that even advanced breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it. The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back from working in China while I was being plugged in for a chemotherapy session. He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in China .

The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer. Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese women avoided getting the disease. Those words echoed in my mind..... Why didn't Chinese women in China get breast cancer?

I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I remembered some of the statistics. The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it, compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and the even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. It is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong , the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.

The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates. And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized, irradiated Hiroshima , she would slash her risk of contracting breast cancer by half. Obviously, this is absurd.

It seemed obvious to me that some lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of breast cancer approach those of their host community.

The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely Western lifestyle in Hong Kong . In fact, the slang name for breast cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is termed ' Hong Kong food'. The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as ' Hong Kong food', because of its availability in the former British colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China .

So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off, middle-class, Western lifestyle. There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible, only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England , Scotland and Wales , however, this figure is 70 times higher.

Like breast cancer, it is a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and higher socio-economic groups ¨C those that can afford to eat rich foods. I remember saying to my husband, 'Come on Peter, you have just come back from China . What is it about the Chinese way of life that is so different?' Why don't they get breast cancer?' We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980s that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.

But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, I knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that have followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.

Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which one of us first said: 'The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!' It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an important insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into place and the whole picture is clear.

Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products. Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milk and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.. On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese, including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it, and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!

Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digest the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of deficiency. Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up dairy cow.

In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good' bacteria. Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had them record in detail what they normally ate. Wish I'd been made aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.

Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately. Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that contained dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish. It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups, biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results. Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter truth.

My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump was still the same size. Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to shrink ! About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch. Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or remission) of the tumour.

One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either. On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London . He examined me thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been.

He was initially bemused and then delighted as he said, 'I cannot find it.' None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system) to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my ideas with him he was understandably sceptical. But I understand that he now uses maps showing cancer mortality in China in his lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.

I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believe that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce, and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the health of my breast and hormone system, cured me. It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary action plan.

Fuel pump for honda accord s84/cf9

2010-05-21T11:11:00.002+08:00

This is year 2000 Honda Accord cf9 / s84 with 2.0 SOHC engine, Few days ago while driving and trying to make a U turn and suddenly after hard pressing on throttle the car suddenly stall and not making any response, rpm remain idle and and gear also not changing.

After discussing with my mechanic and he told me that this might be the fuel pump problem. since the throttle dont response and rpm remain at 1000.This is second time happend to me and luckily the coming car have enough time to avoid from colliding.

The Honda Accord CF9/S84

The fuel pump located in the rear trunk under the mat.

Open the cover then you can see the fuel pump inside, very-very conveniant and easy to install compare to SV4 and SM4 where you need to remove the whole gas tank.

Fuel pump S84 and bracket

The S84 fuel pump with bracket, this small fuel pump which cost me around RM160 + installation RM20. I replaced the new fuel pump from bosh. But I wonder why this fuel pump is the same used by proton wira? Is it enough to supply gas for this 2.0 litre.

Another problem. When starting up the engine the starter will keep on for about 4 second before the engine start (prolonged cranking). Suppose after installing the new fuel pump the starter will start the engine immediately. Dont know why, maybe this few days I am trying to use Denso iridium IK20 spark plug, been told this spark plug good for vtec engine.

update

I have been conned by car dealer or previous owner, they replace the fuel pump with wira fuel pump which is cheaper.

Reason for prolonged cranking-the fuel pump housing is leaking, so the fuel flowing back to the tank therefor the fuel lost pressure. The harder I press the throttle the more fuel running back to fuel tank.

A car maker is introducing seatbelts that inflate like airbags to give extra protection to passengers.Ford is fitting the back seats of vehicles with belts that inflate automatically during a crash.

model show how it work

Experts say they will be particularly effective at preventing broken ribs, internal damage and bruising in children.Frail and elderly passengers will also benefit particularly from the cylindrical airbag that stretches from the buckle to the shoulder and fits inside a pocket sewn into the belt.The technology will be introduced on the latest model of Ford Explorer 4x4, which goes into production in the United States next year.If the trials work well it could open the way for the belts to be used in Britain.

Paint to prevent wireless signals

2009-10-22T19:31:00.001+08:00

high tech paint

Researchers at the University of Tokyo claim to have developed a special paint to prevent wireless signals from being broadcast.The paint contains an aluminum-iron oxide which resonates at the same frequency as Wi-Fi or other radio waves.If you were to paint an entire room, the paint would prevent signals from coming in and going out from your wireless network.

Shin-ichi Ohkoshi, who is leading the project, said the technology is the first to absorb frequencies transmitting at 100GHz (gigahertz). Signals loaded with a larger amount of data - such as wireless Internet - travel at a higher frequency than FM radio, for example.

There are some skeptics. Security engineer at Cisco UK Mark Jackson told BBC News that, "The use of electromagnetic shielding techniques are nothing new. They have been utilised by highly sensitive environments for many years."

Jackson also states the importance of network security through other measures in addition to the use of the paint. "Paint that blocks RF based Wi-Fi transmissions does not in any way remove the need to ensure a robust security model is deployed."

Audi Calamaro

The Audi Calamaro Concept was developed by a designer Tibor for a design competition, organized by Porsche Hungary. This futuristic flying concept car looks like a cross between a speed boat and a plane. According to the designer, the shape is inspired by “the bone of the cuttlefish”.

Audi Calamaro concept

We can’t see any propellers, tires or thrusters. We can only assume it will be powered by a new type of power source that hasn’t been developed yet. It is a very interesting concept, but in addition to the unknown futuristic engine it makes us ask how will it park or turn? Perhaps like the cars in Back To the Future sequel.
