I have a 1990 Honda Civic LX and I just got back from racing my friends Sentra Se-r I know I would lose but it was for fun only.
Well anyways i lose then i say bye to him and i head home, but then my brake warning light comes on. But it doesnt stay on, it flickers on and off. I got home and openend up the hood and looked at the brake fluid and it was completly full.
I tested the brakes and they stop just as good as they did before.
What could cause this?
Could it be my brake light switch by the brake pedal is loose?
please reply ASAP.

Thanks,
Owen

Nevermind Guys, I went out to my car again one last time after I let it cool for about 30 mins.
I checked my battery starter wire and it was disconnected. I really connected it and tightened it on there real good. I then started the car and purred right up. I have never seen it start that easy b4. I then released my e-brake and the light stayed off. I drove it around the block a few times repeatidly hitting the brake and it never came on.
Hopefully it will stay like this.

Thanks,
Owen

Hi,

I bought a intake and mi planning on buying a new muffler and exhaust.
What type of header would u suggest?
I was thinking maybe a Pacesetter header because of the good price.
What type of performance gains should I expect with new header?

thanks,
Owen

don't go with pace setter for anything... you truely get what you pay for... pure crap... spend a lil extra dough and do it right the first time...

yeah the pacemaker will rust in the box on the way to your house, just save a lil more money and get a DC sports.

Don't buy Pacesetter, the pace they set wouldn't win a wheel chair race. If you want a cheap header go with Chikara, it's made by Hedman which makes really good Muscle Car headers and since Chikara is "new" your not paying for the name like you would with DC Sports (even though DC is a really nice header). Chikara is good to, I got mine for $130 shipped from summitracing.com
