Last one>>28614303Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!Need help identifying a chassis?http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
Bros I like this Si a lot but the interior rattles/squeaks are driving me insane. My 97 Civic doesn’t make noise anything like the 26. Wtf Honda.
>>28657528Time to trade for a based Honda Accord that's been tested on their squeak and rattle track
>>28657537No manual accords anymore sadly. I’m just going to bitch at the dealer until it’s rectified
>>28657539Based, don't feel like an asshole for complaining about a car Honda itself sold with a 60,000 mile warranty or whatever for a lot of money, if I went through the process of buying a car brand new, it better start up and be quiet.
>>28657447>13 sets of front brake pads.>no mention of rear brake pads.Umm- thats not how its suppose to work....
>>28657772In his defense old base model Hondas can wear out their drums, and people just never even bother replacing because automatics have park, and most of the braking happens in the front.

>>28657772>>28657794Rear brakes also last a LONG time. Not a million miles, but old accords like that could easily go 200,000 miles at like, 75% rear braking capacity, which isn’t really worth changing unless you’re tracking it.
Mini cooper 5-spoke 4x100 rims fit well on 4x100 hondas, for whoever wanted to throw wacky mid-00s rims on their econobox.
>>28657447The CB7 is the best looking sedan Honda made.
Did some conefagging in the Prelude yesterday. feels good man.
>>28659247But what about this lil guy
>finish fixing every issue on my honda rebel>Notice my civics clear coat is bubbling up.This needs a wash and oil change and cvt fluid change and for me to fix the cap on the rad still. Anyone done a cheap maacco paint job before, can you specifically ask for certain areas to get cleaned up clearcoat and paint?
>>28659270If you're going to go Maaco, be sure to get the two stage, base coat with a clear coat laid on top of it in the style of a factory paint job, you could probably spent less than $1000 on a single stage job as opposed to $3000, but it will look like a single stage paint job, even if there's imperfections, the two stage Maaco job can actually be kinda beautiful when a fancy place can charge upwards of $7000+ for a factory style paint job with all the disassembly required.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INkf-TWCkIU
>>28659279I was planning to do it if it was around 1200 to do the hood, trunk roof and main body. The doors and bumpers are fine.
>>28659328I would get a quote just for those panels, maybe it will be within the budget to make it look a little nicer, sun facing panels of Civics just cook off like nothing and it makes an otherwise nice car look shitboxy
>>28659254Damnit I forgot about the R. Good contender
>>286592475th gen is the best
>>28659332I do wonder though. I wanted to see if I could hold out till the prelude drops. If the prelude is barely 38k or under I could afford it but my current civic is only 70k miles and the paint and interior are really really bad shape. I have holes in the carped, driver seat ripped, original owner put out cigs on the pannels and the car has smoke grime everywhere. The exterior has a lot of large paint chips to the metal and dents. This is a 2016 coupe, but it is the lx cvt.Would It make more sense to just wait till the prelude price drops, look at them used maybe or keep the civic and spend 3k repainting it?
Heh my clean as fuck 2015 Crosstour exl impressed my friends boyfriend yesterday. I drove them to a concert and he was like "man what year us this when did you get it?" it's wild what a little cleaning and some leather can do to impress. Also it's so cozy
>>28662261Based crosstour, I always tell people that no matter what the fuck your car is, if it has leather and a sunroof, normies will think it's a luxury car, guys think they need to spend $80,000 to get panties, but really a used Lincoln MKZ or decked out EX-L Honda/Acura is enough to wow people.
Mustang tribars are the Super Advans we have at home
Just over 26MPG on ~350 mile trip with the cruise set at 90. Sometimes I forget you put this thing in comfort mode and it's such a nice highway cruiser. Sometimes it's too bad it only has a 12 gallon tank.
>>28663489That's impressive as hell for a Type R with not low rolling resistance tires, my slow ass CM that's built to save fuel drops to about 26 mpg when you're cruising at 90 because it takes so much foot to make it stay at that speed, Civics are such proper midsize GT cruisers now it's hilarious.
>>28659247>car-shaped cars are now functionally illegalHow did we end up like this?
>>28659247Sedans are cope for those who couldnt find a two door
>>28665072Coupes are cope for those who are too pussy to just buy a sports car
>>28662355Hell yeah
can't for the life of me find the youtube video i found of some guy "resetting" his sunroof on his egmine needs a little "push" to get it to work properly when opening and i wanted to try to fix it before winter comesthe summer it was sometimes working without me having to lovetap it
I've only owned Hondas and love their reliability and practicality. However, I made the mistake of buying the 17 crv with the 1.5Lt and after 120k miles it started having misfires. I replaced the fuel injectors and everything was good till now at 155k where I'm noticing the coolant is very slowly decreasing. I think it's probably the head gasket starting the fail. So at this point I'm looking to buy a new car as I'm not sure if I can't depend on this one for long trips.I'm considering the new Pilot but I'm really worried about the long term reliability of the V6 especially considering it has VCM. Does anyone have any knowledge on how this engine has been? I'm also debating between the pilot and the MDX. They both share the same engine but I was curious if there was better tuning for it in the MDX
>>28665710I would just a 2.4L cr-v, even the earth memes ones with GDi didn't do the head gasket thing
>>28665308Sports cars are generally coupes
Just my shit luck. Took a turn a wee bit too tight while leaving a city and fucked up a wheel/tire. At least it's still holding air and should last another couple weeks until I switch to the Sparcos for the fall/winter
2005 CivicWhen I turn my hvac controls to all the way cold I can hear the vent doors or whatever inside the dash just jiggling constantly. I used to be able to fix it by turning it to hot and then back to cold, but now it makes that noise whenever I have the controls set to full cold.Right now I just have it set to one notch above full cold and it's fine but it bothers me. does anyone know what might be causing this?
>Bought a Del Sol when I was a young guy with hopes & dreams>Still have it in my 30's, too attached to let it go but too embarrassed to be seen driving it>Only take it out on weekend nights on the backroadsAlmost hit an animal carcass on the road an hour ago cause my shitty aftermarket headlights don't project far enough for me to see ahead of time so I just instinctively centered the car with it and prayed. Thankfully someone else flattened it enough that I didn't damage anything. One day though a cow is gonna end this car on a Saturday at 11:27pm, and probably me with it.
>>28666597>but too embarrassed to be seen driving itjust don't worry about it no one really gives a fuck
>>28666453blend door actuator?
>>28666794I just got home and saw an FL5 slammed like that, probably the same guy, imagine bring home your $47,000 car and thinking" How badly can I clout chase and fuck this vehicle up?
>>28666803Stancefags are retarded, in other news water is wet
>>28659247I have one it's magnificent. 233k miles
my (EU) honda accord 2014 has started to make whining noise when I'm at the bite point on 1st and 2nd gear. there's no noise when fully engaged or disengaged.Any ideas what it could be and if it's for sure a sign of a clutch replacement
>>28666714and that's behind the glovebox, right?
>>28662261I got a 2015 accord sport and people seem to think its a 2022 or something. Honda did good with their 2015s I guess.
>>28668154It's because it rides like a 2022 or something, love my 2004 to death but the difference in ride quality between my uncle's 2014 LX was crazy, the car and steering wheel don't vibrate over bumps, the car is just gliding, and he and I were both on Sumitomo tires so it wasn't like a shit set of tires was making my 2004 bumpy, it just is what it is.
This guy i know offered to trade trunks with me on our tsxsI really want the wing and he hates itShould i cop? Good paint and no dings, his is 06 vs my 08 so hoping the paint is a perfect match
I wish I could do more for the CM 22nd birthday than a rinse and interior wipedown but at least it's got tags paid.>>28669244I like the TSX with the spoiler because it has the rear end for it.
>>28666448>should last another couple weeks until IChange them NOW.
>>28666794That's had a hover conversion, right?
>>28669356It has an integrated brake light too. Not sure if there was a dealer option for one but it may be original. It looks really good in person. If he will trade I already said yes
i'm going insane trying to remove my 2019 Fit wiper inserts can anyone help?everything online says "just slide it down past the end cap", but there's a metal track running all the way to the end of the cap that can't be removed (in the center of the blade, you can see it extending past the insert), no matter how far i slide the end, there's no opening for the insert to come outare my blades not the OEM ones? the manual only gives instructions on replacing the entire blade
>>28669784Haven't had issues yet, I went over 80mph on it with no vibrations or extra shaking. The inner belts aren't torn at all.
>>28669930after taking apart the entire blade, i'm realizing the insert isn't meant to be changed.likely aftermarket
Just past satan digits in my 2003 civic and the water pump has died. Drove it about 20 miles before I realized the overheating. >new timing belt>new pump>new thermostat>new temp sensors>new whatever else got fucked from prolonged overheatingIs it worth saving or should I bail?
>>28670828>Is it worth saving or should I bail?If it's not smoking from a blown head gasket or anything, you're doing good, maybe have the car looked at with the radiator cap off to make sure it isn't leaking combustion into the radiator either and it should be fine to do the TB WP thermostat service.
>>28657447Automakers saw this and collectively shit themselves. Then they started engineering cars to die and here we are now. You will never see this again in your life.
HRC US just keeps doing based shit. We rally boys now /hg/
>>28673253No confirmation of AWD but still based.
>>28669356>automatic car washBro you're supposed to give that little slut a proper bath
>>28673253>>28673260HRC USA doing the shit that Honda Japan won't
>>28673299It's touchless, usually I give it the whole pre-soak the entire thing with wheel wells, and then just use the touchless wash to get that spotless dry, but for $8 using the touchless for a good dust off and dry is pretty good value.
>>28673253Itd be interesting if it wasnt a 4 doorHonda lost their way a long time ago though so we will never get anything that cool
>>28673253>>28673260FL Civic looks so hard on 15 inch rally tires, it's kind of a shame Honda doesn't sell base Civics on 15 inch tires because that's what the people need.
CB7 ute conversion from Thailand
>>28674377I think it's a 1994-1997 CD but it's basically the same car underneath.
>>28673536no you NEEEED le heckin 18 incherinos
>>28674736Fuck, don't know why I typed CB7. It is a 5th gen.
Sell me on a new Civic or AccordThinking about buying my first new car and both of them felt comfy enough but I'm hesitant to commit to anything right now
>>28675136This depends on your money Anon, if you're looking for an absolute luxurious dreamboat of an economy car for daily use, the Accord hybrid is what you're gonna want, if you're looking for a very reasonably priced and still comfy midsize economy car, any of the new Civics are nice, they have the 2.0L engine is awesome for daily driving.
>>28659248nice, stock?
>>28657447let me guess, you “need” more
>>28675222I'd rather just sleep in a car on a road trip
>>28657447vtec y0
>>28675361GSR blades are so hot, peak DC2 wheel
>>28675364theyre my favorite oem wheel design without competition I just wish they were wider and in 16, 15x6.5 is too limiting once you start to get a solid build together. probably gonna end up with desmond regamasters next year
sovl
>>28665710While my guess is the leak is actually in the radiator or piping. Seems worth changing the head gasket if you can get another 50k miles out of it.
>>28670116You are crazy. In my state any sidewall damage is instant failed inspection. More importantly it is a disaster waiting to happen at 80mph.
>>28678025This, that shit is gonna blow the fuck out especially when cornering and the sidewall deflects like its supposed to.
>>28678025Got to be crazy to live in DPRNJ
>clean tahitian green pearl eg went for 15k on BaTis it really worth that much?
>>28679464It's worth it if you want an EG and don't give a shit about SOHC 130hp at best engines, you're best spending 15K on the newest Civic Si you can get if you just want to drive, a newer car is always better.
What is the best automatic Honda I can buy?
>>28679930Just get a brand new Honda Civic CVT 2.0L Anon, it's so worth it for cruising around daily
>doesn't weigh that much more than a CM>has same torqey boi engine>3000 rpm in 5th gear if you even have a manual with 5th gear>tfw 24-26 mpg highway depending on auto or manualWhat was Honda thinking lmao, just gear it taller holy shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYnXGv_sPhI
>>28679747>SOHC 130hpD-series supremacy
So long, sweet prince
mugen fl5 is sex
are dorman part shit or should I just go junkyarding/used parts for OEM?just looking for headlights/signal lightsfor an ej
>>28685004I would get OEM headlights if you can, they actually look good if you take em to a detail shop that does headlight restoration even if you got em from the eBay junkyard.
>>28657539I just looked at their Bongistan range and they don't sell a single manual. All gay hybrid. So far only Skoda make a normal family-sized car that isn't a fat top heavy SUV which I wil never buy and has a manual gearbox. Most manufactuers are taking the piss now.
>>28685063Honda will sell a good ol 1.5T CVT Accord but unfortunate that's it, I would get the hybrid, shit's so comfy despite it being against all things an old Accord was.
>>28659248LJK Setright was a big Prelude fan. His Prelude turned up still on the road in Ireland recently still smelling of his Russian cigarettes. Very cool.
>>28685065Not in Bongland. They only sell the Civic. They aren't trying. Toyota are just as bad - they stopped selling the current Camry and only ever did sell it as a gay hybrid and no fitting point for a towbar which I absolutely require.Needless to say the only Civics they sell here are also gay hybrids and as a direct result have a shit towing capacity, 600kg which is less than I tow several times year.It is bullshit. My manual Corolla tows 1.3 tons but the shit hybrid that they limited their range to only tows 450kg. These globohomo manufacturers have been pozzed.
>>28685090Fuck, I'm really sorry they're strangling the cars over where you're at, Anon... the scary part is that America is on it's way, the pickup trucks are going turbo, the american companies are giving up on making cars because they can't compete with based Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai, I would just put money into the car you have until it's no longer runnable because we are in a living nightmare.
>>28685005good suggestion thanks broI got some local junkyards that have a set which look OK from the pics so I will go with that approach>detail shop that does headlight restorationgood to know, if they can shine them up I will be a happy man
My lil Honda Jazz is getting a new Pioneer Head unit and a dash cam. Is $400 to $500 too much to spend on this lil guy?
>>28677425>>28677497That looks mint desu. Only modern car that looks like this was Jazz and that is not there anymore. Its a gay world and I hate it.
>>28686476That's a legit amount of money, 6 years ago I spent the equivalent of $350 installing just my Pioneer head unit, good name brand audio and dashcams are worth it Anon, don't feel bad about spending hundreds making the Jazz a lot nicer.
>>28675180I've installed aftermarket suspension, brakes and exhaust. Not a lot of aftermarket support for this car, unfortunately.
>>28684180Hello...
>>28686483Danke senpai, I'll post pics once done.
>>28686483Its here. My car has animu now. Just experimenting, I need a dark pape, this is too distracting.
>>28686530wheres the prelude nurburgring vid?
>>28687428Nice, Anon
okay I got signal lights sent to me and the guys told me it was in good conditiongot them today and the internal yellow cap has come off and I'm trying to figure out if you can actually put the cap back on without opening the entire thing and risk breaking it. the bulb goes into the socket, but the bulb is surrounded by the yellow cap, if that makes senseanyone have some ideas of how to do this or should I just deal with the headache of sending it back and getting a refund?
Sparcos got mounted with Ziex ZE950s today, godDAMN they look good
