Why won't the antenna go down on your 1993 integra?
If you can hear the motor run and it's trying to retract but you hear clicking noises then the motor is slipping on the plastic teeth of the antenna mast. It's actually designed to slip as that's the way it adjusts when a mast is installed. It may be that the mast itself is gunked up with dirt and oil or bent such that it encounters resistance as it's retracting. Order a new mast online, I got mine for $38 but many sites have it for $50. The mast will come with a replacement chrome nut, O ring and plastic base. I didn't bother with those since my old one was a gold accent nut and I didn't find the nut, o ring and base in the box till after I replaced the antenna. You unscrew the nut at the base of the antenna where it comes out of the car by using a bent nose snap ring plier, bought mine for $11 at Autozone, remove the nut. Have an assistant turn on the radio so that the antenna extends, grab it and pull it out. Stuff the plastic teeth end into the hole with the teeth facing the rear of the car, have your assistant turn off the radio and move the plastic end around until it catches and guide the antenna in. It won't go all the way down because it took some time to get the teeth caught on the motor, screw on the nut. Turn on the radio again to extend the antenna, since it didn't pull in all the way, it will try to push the antenna out more than it will go so you'll hear the motor slip on the end of the plastic teeth. Turn the radio off again and it should go all the way in. It's incredibly easy to replace the antenna mast. When I did it, I didn't believe it was that easy so I took it back out and did it again. I don't think oiling the mast helps, a lot of mechanics have told me to just oil the mast, the oil probably drips onto the plastic teeth making it easier to slip and holds on to the dust so the mast gets gunked up faster. The next time it starts to mess up on me, I'm just going to replace the mast. I'm thinking of trying the dry wax that bicycles use on their chains to lubricate the mast as it won't drip and it won't hold on to the dirt.
I have an 85 coupe that suffered from the same problem. The rsult was having to pull out the cluster and ship it off for repair ($350). DJ I just bought a 1987 Corvette Coupe and had the the same problems with the cluster. Only half of the panel was lit up but the gauges worked. I found a website called Mr. Whizard Technical Services out of Winnipeg Mantoba that was great to work with. On the website there are instructions on how to remove the instrument cluster yourself and instructions on how to send it to them. They sent a UPS pickup label prepaid and had it repaired and sent back to me within a week. They fixed the cluster so it looks and works like new again with all the color displays and lights working and they did for only $200.00 a lot less than anywhere else I found. They did what they promised and on time. I recommend them to anybody with an instrument cluster of any make of auto. This is my first Corvette and am waiting for summer to have fun.
UPDATE I am currently having the same problem with my 1988 35th Anniversary. But...This is not the first time, I've seen it happen 2 times before over last few years. It usually goes away, so I believe its a short or bad connection. Tends to do it more in the summer when its hot (Arizona). I am currently working on this issue.

How do you release a stuck parking brake on a 1995 Chevrolet Corvette?
I would soak the E-brake cables overnight with a good penetrant then the next day pull the rear wheels and begin working the cables back and forth to free them up. Chances are you will need to replace these cables in the near future to avoid this corrosion problem.

Where is the horn relay located on a 97 Achieva 2.4 L?
From viewing a similar answer for a '95, and upon personal inspection, it appears to be behind and above the drivers side fuse panel. If you remove the black panel below the steering column, I think that you will see the socket assembly for it behind the left side of the instrument panel. Perhaps more later as I conclude this myself.

Can a hard top be converted to convertible?
If you have lots and lots of money, time, and fabrication skills, it can be done. A donor car would almost be a necessity. I personally would never attempt this. This must be an old car, if it is a true hardtop. Hardtops are almost as valuable as convertibles. Think this over carefully.
