Thumbs up Greetings from Gator country

Well, well, well... for the first time in 30 years my daily driver is NOT a Blue Oval. Advancing age and blown head gaskets mean bye bye Taurus and hello another Accord. I bought the wife an '06 SE 5speed and took over her '01 LX 5speed. Happiness is. Now for the fun part - fixing the minor quirks in the '01 - high-low idle hunting, worn brakes, scratches on the trunk from the bikes, and finalizing installation of the rest of the ham radio gear.

Welcome!

There's some threads in the DIY section about the idle. Look for one by ME about setting "base idle".
Vacuum leaks?
Air in the cooling system?

Brakes are pretty straightforward - not like the older Accords with hub-over-rotor.
