make sure you use a flare nut wrench on it for the love of god!

If you end up in my situation you're screwed. My fuel filter has never been changed, it's on so tight that the line needs to be cut and flared with a new one because the bolt will not come off without twisting the lines. I even used a flare-nut wrench and it's sure as hell not coming off.

Are all fuel filters the same? Or they have different sizes for different cars? i.e. Civic, Integra, Accord... etc

What about fuel lines? Mine is kinda short, I need a longer one.

When you say yuor car is shaking at 110km or above it could just be your tires aren't balanced haha.. is your steering wheel shaking?

97SIR, try changing your cap & rotor also if you havent done that for a while. Mine was shaking also after 110km but it was due to the tires not being balanced.
