Last one >>28881034Looking 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/
>>289369832016 rdx advance package with 38k miles on it. Is that reliable?
>>28937090>278HP V6Just get it anon, big old V6 Hondas are practically muscle cars in the era of pathetic horsepower and hybrids, and it's reliable too if you take care of it with a timing belt job ever 100k or 10 years, so you should factor at least $1400 of maintenance into the purchase of the RDX because it has been around for a decade despite the low miles, but then yoy would have an RDX worry free for a long time.
given the news >>28936750 is there more of an incentive to buy a honda now? will dealers be discounting the car off more?
Hello /o/, due to rising costs in everything Im deciding to bite the bullet and buy one of my dream cars a Honda Beat before it becomes almost impossible to import, to anyone who has anyone any tips on how to keep it maintained or things I should expect? Also if you guys do have one what year?
>last 3 Subarus have engine problems>I'm going to buy an Acura, surely that will fix my problems>6 speed manual, all wheel drive>Surely the J37 won't burn oil!>The J37 burns a tremendous amount of oilI regret purchasing this. I regret importing the wheels for this. I missed not having a turbo car so much, I went out and bought a turbo car again. I wonder how much I can get for my 2010 TL SH-AWD 6MT. I paid $10k for it, and the car has like 170,000 miles. The amount of oil it consumes between oil changes is nearing Subaru levels of bad. Like the Oil light will randomly come on 2,000 miles after an oil change. I know I need to top it up / oil change when VTEC won't activate. It drives fine. Only cons for when I sell it are:North East car so undercarriage is rusty (just surface rust, nothing structural)Parking brake is weak. Had it checked out by a dealership, but they didn't really fix it. I always park in 1st.Head liner is sagging in the rearFront brake callipers are rusty. I don't even know why, just a cosmetic thing. Very lameUhh, burns oil, thanks J37!Weather stripping for windshield has peeled, and makes annoying sounds flapping in the wind at highway speeds.The dealer I bought it from told me it didn't burn oil, but they didn't really have the car for long / got a chance to drive it for long to discover it does indeed burn oil. Can't really hold that against those I bought it from. I would like to sell it so the money can go towards paying off new to me turbo car. Uhhh, then the wheels. They are a legit set of BBS RI-A's I bought off crooooooober, which is like Up garage now. They are the 007 / 009? I think models. 5*120 18*8.5 / 18*9.5 and don't remember the offsets off the top of my head. I am running factory sized tires on them, 245/45/18 square setup, cause AWD. Look sweet on the car. I honestly just want to hang the wheels on my wall, that's how much I like looking at them. New car is 5*112 :(
>>28937171Why is it going to be impossible? I wanna buy one in about a years time
>>28937171>>28937497I saw like 3 of them just last night, all in Texas, on FB Marketplace all for >$10k
>>28937479Try replacing the PCV valve and see if the oil consumption decreases, that's unfortunate about the oil consumption and shitboxyness of the car, but it is an old car after all, and it does run reliably to its credit.
Since last thread I replaced my 15k mile old Honda MTF with Redline MTL. It's pretty great so far. Zero crunchiness and zero grinds when shifting, even at redline. Could just be new fluid but don't remember shifts ever feeling this good with the Honda mtf even when the fluid was new.
Pushing 30 and finally getting my license. Don't know lick about cars to be honest, but I've fallen in love with the Honda Accord and I'd love some input.I'm considering getting a manual 2006 honda accord 2,2 sport (N22A1 diesel engine) with 300,000km on it (186,500 miles).Turbo was replaced at 235k, Clutch replaced at 210k, New front ball joints/ABS sensor/track rod at 295k, Drive shaft has been serviced apparently.I'm poor and this car is about as cheap as you get a working car in my cunt ($2000). The exterior looks clean with only a minor bump, no visible rust or scratches, and the interior looks well taken care of as well. Guy has no pics of the underside of the car. Am i dumb for considering it or do you think it could actually be a good purchase? Talk me out of it /o/
>>28938800>I'm considering getting a manual 2006 honda accordYes, it's the nicest driving car you're gonna find that isn't stupid and expensive.
>>28938803Thing I'm the most worried about is the mileage. Worried it'll break down two months after purchase and have expenses that cost more than the car itself. Chances of this happening?
>>28938805It shouldn't break on you if yoy take care of it, but yes if yoy keep the car on the road lont, you will spend more than what the car is worth, that's just the cost of owning a car, the only cars that are truly trouble free are new ones, and those are through the roof right now.
Got new rims for the 2015 accord. What color should I paint the calipers? As for the older 2009 sibling, what color should I paint the steelies?Luv my accords.>>28938800Good choice. Take care of it and you shouldn't have many issues.
>>28938966>paint the calipers?You should get some drilled and slotted rotors instead, those would look sweet behind your rims, I'd do it on my CM but it's on steelies with wheel covers onto of the steelies, do they'd never see.
>>28936983Bros, I want a TSX CL9 but in my country the CU2 comes with the 10-speaker system in the standard version. Am I being pedantic to want a car for its sound system? What do I do?
>>28939218Sounds system is based if music while driving is something you care about, it's not faggy, that noticeable thump in a premium audio system with 10 speakers can be heard over a speaker system thay only has door speakers and maybe tweeters.
>>28939308Yeah, I thought getting the older one might be good to start modifying as a hobby or something. Probably I should just get the CU2 and spend way less improving the sound system.
>>28940057Yes Anon, if you can get a hold of a CU2, it's gonna be a nicer daily, the last thing you wanna do is go down the rabbit hole of car audio, because it's really easy to spend too much money when just buying a car with decent enough audio is good enough.
>>28940061Just to clarify, I meant I could upgrade the speakers/ amp on the CU2 and it would be cheaper than modifying the CL9 into being a wigger street racing car. I still like the idea of it but if I buy the CU2 I'll just see how the stock audio is for a bit before I do anything drastic.
>>28940078I think you'll like it Anon, having that full range system with woofers, tweets, and an 8 inch sub is gonna be a nice car to bump music in from the factory.
About to replace tyres on a 96 EK and wanted to change the wheels while I'm at it. Can't decide on what kind of wheel though. Car is silver. Any ideas?
>>28940572Hatch, coupe or sedan?
>>28940613Hatchback. All stock except it has generic hubcaps. I actually bought pic rel wheels a couple years ago but wasn't sure about them. Been keeping them just in case
>>28940621SI wheels, GS-R meshies and those jawns from 2002-05 Civics.
>>28940661Based Si wheels, I love the EM1 wheels on any of the 6th gen Civics
>>28940662Came on EM2s also.
>>28940676Looks hot, shame the 7th gen Civics are worst Civics because the EM2 isn't a bad looking car, it's just so outclassed by the based model CM for not much more money.
2023 Accord or 2023 Mazda 6?
>>28941701I love Hondas but man 2.5T 232HP and a 6 speed torque converter in the Mazda sounds nice.
>>28936983hello, is 10k for a 98 CR-V crazy? under 100k miles
>>28941764Stick? AWD? Still has the table?
>>28942406automatic, 4wd no pictures of the trunk so i'm unable to confirmwould have to do when looking at it irl
>>28942478excuse me the seller lists as awd
>>28938999Good idea, that would look real good. And since you got trips, I am obliged to do it. Is there any real benefit to drilled and slotted rotors other than looks?
>>28942511It's really a cosmetic thing my CM doesn't even have drilled slotted and I've never had a problem because the ceramic brake pads from auto zone will begin to smoke before the rotor ever got red hot, but Powerstop Z26 brake pads themselves have a slightly higher temp range than per equivalent which makes them ideal for sporty driving in an accord.
>>28942630>per equivalentOem equivalent pads**
Thinking about getting a '23 hatchback civic. Sport trim with non hybrid engine. 41k miles. My only concern is if the previous owner turned off the off on system every time or not. Fuck that gay ass shit.
>>28942478>>28942480my mechanic didn't seem impressed with it so now we're looking at a civic...wish i had all the time in the world to wait around for a good old CR-V
>>28943125I personally wouldn't be scared of the K24 CR-Vs, they're based as shit, I know it became a faggy mom vehicle later on but it was still a CR-V that had the K24A 5 speed auto and later K24W CVT meme drivetrain everyone loved so much.
>>28942630>ideal for sporty drivingWhat if I just use this for my job as a wage slave? I don't even use the sport mode on the accord sport. feels bad man.
>>28943153They're perfect for that too, Anon. Because they're still a ceramic material but infused with carbon fiber bits, it's not like those semi-metallic racecar brakes that track guys use that go SCREEEEECH and don't work well until they get hot while shooting tons of brake dust on everything because it's such a hard compound that it's eating the rotor, Powerstop Z26 brake pads won't do that, they're like a step above the hardness of an OEM brake pad, but not so ridiculous you can't daily drive it, it's the pad I'm getting next set.
>>28943146desu i don't really care that there was some sort of stereotype or stigma around them i just like them and how they looki had an old '95 pathfinder as my first car which i loved and had to sell it and drive something crummy for the past yearsunfortunately i need something reliable and mild maint rn rather than fun OTLi'll keep your comment in mind tho and ask my guy about itthanks anon
Saw this on (((faceberg))), apparently it's a daily up in Alaska
>>28943677
>>28943679>FWD mudflapsKek
>>28941701I'd go Accord (assuming hybrid and not the lower-middle-class 1.5t) for the gas mileage, the extra room, and the smoovness and immediate torque of the electric motors. Also there's no transmission to go bad, and the original brakes will last forever because of regen braking.Unrelated: wtf is with these captchas
>>28943724The captchas are so ridiculous now it's unreal, I second the Accord 2.0L with hybrid motors, I rode with a nigga in one and it's still the most comfortable I've ever been in a car.
>>28943526what a cutie>>28943677>>28943679nice
>wife got side swiped It’s over, bros
>found another cr-vhope isn't lost yet...>>28944291oh no ;;i hope she's OK anonwill your INS repair the damage?
Bros, my clutch pedal "catches" really high, like 3/4 to the top of the stroke. My clutch master cylinder is also leaking a bit. I'm replacing the cmc, but was wondering the correct process to adjust the clutch pedal. I'd like to have the engagement near the floor, but not sure if that would work on our cars, or if it needs to be set to a specific spec to not wear out the clutch.
>>28944297You don't want an RD1 CRV, they aren't that good on gas and are slow af in the real sense not the /o/ way of saying a 350hp car is too slow to move out of it's way, the CRV is dangerous to get on a highway, if there's wind forget about even going the posted speed with the pedal all the way down.
>>28944334the new one i found is an 06 CR-V SEi 98% of the time surface street drivethank you for the info on the RD1 CR-Vs anon, it's appreciated.
>>28944297She’s fine, Honda built tuff. Still drives fine (she says, I haven’t seen the car yet) but the damage goes from end to end so who knows, insurance will either fix it or total it. Unfortunate because it’s been a great car the past 9 years.
>>28944342Oh I thought you hunting for a first gen, the second gen has a better motor.
>>28944351i'm glad she's OKhopefully the come through for you guys :(it's a shame the car got done dirty like this...>>28944367i am/was! but realising it's going to be hard finding a good one for a decent pricethis second gen one just fell through so i'm back on the hunt...
>>28944291>>28944351God damn nigga this is the unluckiest V6 Accord on here
>>28943677>>28943679>mercedes wheels>>28943770Front
>bonestock 98 civic with 65k+ miles>$17kworth the cop bros?
>>28944622This depends on how much you want a nice 6th gen Civic Anon.
>>28944622If I'm paying more than msrp when new I'm expecting it to be pristine.
>>28944785This, and then once you do get a mint old Civic you can't even drive the motherfucker because it's so collectable that you're gonna shoot everyone should you get a rock chip in the thing, I would get a driver quality example that looks the part and can actually be driven because it has miles and you're not gonna depreciate it further.
>>28944563so clean and tidy, love the colours>>28944622super cuteseems high though
Based Lude spotted the other day running strong.280k get on the TSX last week. I did find that the likely original (it has the Honda logo on it) thermostat housing has a light drip so I got an Aisin on the way to install next week.
>>28944981>22yo car and it's barely dripping from thermostat nowGod I fuckin love K blocks so much it's unrel, yeah it's annoying when the solenoid dumps oil on the ground because the car is old but it's the best engine
>>28944991I'll be honest I've never even taken a peek at that solenoid. Maybe next week. K series really is the best engine ever. I love a D series and those are super reliable too but the K is Honda's magnum opus. J probably right below that. Those also go to the moon and back without much issue.
>>28945000If you park your TSX overnight and there isn't a small puddle right behind the oil pan where it would drip down severely, the solenoid is probably okay, when it leaks severely, the whole subframe gets wet and the car will lose half a quart of oil every week and a half or so.
>>28945006Sweet yeah the pan is totally dry so I assume they serviced all that before I got it. The timing cover is a mess but I'm not touching that. Oil loss is less than a quart per 1000mi which is more than good enough for me.>tfw might be dropping Hut after all these years for Domino's
>>28945011Lol switchin sides, but a little timing cover or valve cover ooze is nothing on K series, it's so slow it would never register on the stick or blow it up in a reasonable oil change interval, it's that damn VTEC solenoid on the back of the K24 that is so evil when it does go, because you shut the engine off, and the oil pressure it is holding back leaves the motor through the solenoid, and anyone not paying attention is probably gonna blow the engine up in about 2 months at the rate the oil level goes down.
>>28945013Yeah I got a reminder on my maintenance app to check oil every 1000mi so it stays well lubricated. https://streamable.com/xwg3xtHere's the thermostat housing leak. Very convenient that it started immediately after I replaced the original radiator.
>>28945018Aw yeah she dripping, your motor idlingsounds just like mine with just under 184,000 on it, the fuckin odometer they installed means nothing, clearly.
>>28945025Absolute sewing machine. That pulley noise is the less than two month Advance Auto alternator I get to try and warranty for a second time in a year. Clean Valvoline Restore and Protecc with daily redlines is all it needs to get to 300k. Even the six speed transmission is happy and might be original as well. It's still the magnesium case so I assume its original.
Should I put a spoiler on my hatchback?
>>28945028i think they look nice personally on some
>>28945028which hatchback you got and what spoiler?
Still mourning my 6-6 Accord. I was backing out of the driveway one morning and picrel happened. Car was written off. Apparently this is a common issue with 03-07 Accords. I've seen two in the wild, totalled in the exact same manner. Yet I still want another one. What can I do to prevent this when I inevitably buy another 07 6-6?
>>28945405I would just make ball joints a 100,000 mile item, my CM has original joints at 183K miles, but the car goes in for oil and inspection every few months hoping they would tell me if it does need replacement, but it is what it is, it's an old car, the owners aren't thinking about load bearing stuff like ball joints, they take it to simple lube places that aren't jacking the car off the ground and checking the suspension for play, and sometimes Accords fall on the ground.
>as common as shit on a farm>used prices at rock bottom and still falling>lighter than an 8+ gen, more available than a 6- genEM2/ES1 bros, why are we so hated again?
>>28945731The 7th gen Civics sit in this weird period of having a timing belt SOHC engine like a 90s Civic, but without a double wishbone front suspension, meanwhile the 8th gen Civic had timing chain SOHC engine, as well as a K20Z3 on the Si to make up for its lack of upper control arms
>>289457418th gen is fat and ugly. Earlier civics are overpriced jap scrap. 7th gens were also built in the USA so they're quality.
>>28945405Stance Nation
>my gas tank gauge has always been broken (reading full all the time)>used the odometer to just fill up every 350km>kinda want to fix it>get the fuel sending unit>find out the cluster is bad too>look up prices for an ej1>upward to 400$ for one>2026mananyone have experience fixing it or is it a crapshoot I've watched some youtube shit but I don't think it is gonna be that simpleeverything is working but the gas tank level
>>28946144If the sending unit is good check the wiring for that gauge, that's usually the issue
>>28945750Absolutely retarded take. >D17 is one of the worst engines Honda ever made>EP3 has the worst K series ever made>EP3 was built in the UK
potentially have an '04 CR-V lined up but it's a 50/50 whether it's fr or notthen a '11 that is a shoe in but at my max budget and doesn't look as nice as the older ones and lastly an '07 that is pretty nice but far away from me and i'd need to uber to get to it/can't take it to my mechanicbuh
>>28945405I know the feel. It hurts. The things need replacing seeming every year.
>>28948749>left mccy ds and got pulled over that quickkek
A chipped P28 vtec ecu will work with a non vtec setup right? It'll run like shit for sure but I figure it can get remapped while the car is getting tuned for a turbo, I don't want to go hunting for another chipped ECU these things are retarded to find right now.
>trying to put seafoam in my honda>tutorial video is using a truck to demonstrate >he sprays seafoam into the little flap in the engine that opens when you push the gas>my car has no such flapwhere do I put this shit? I got some for the engine and for the gas tank and the tank is pretty cut and dry, but I have no clue what to do with the engine. no /sqt/ up right now, didn't want to make it myself
>>28950713Yep, it'll run if you turn off VTEC engagement in the chip software and won't throw CELs.
>>28950791spray it into the brake booster vacuum line
2010 Honda Fit Sport AT 290,000mi. Bought as my first car as a noob like last year. It's really fun to have a thousand dollar shitbox that you can wrench on. I started actually doing maintenance on the car like 2 months ago when my axle boots tore. I'm finishing up my laundry list and now I want to do retarded things to my car. Would it be too retarded to save up to throw an r18 into my car. I'd have to make it standard because I'm not good at wires. I'd have to fuck with the exhaust and the fuel lines and probably get better brakes and frankenstein some random fit parts from car-part like clutch and shifter box and massa and slave cylinders with the drive train from 2010ish civics. also id have to pay some asshole to put the mounts in but if i bring the engine brackets and mounts hopefully he doesn't touch my tight posterior. I know its awfully retarded at my mileage and the stock engine is like good or something and i dont know how to drive standard but it sounds fun and i paid like a grand for the car because the drivers door didn't open and the door lock actuator was jammed. Are there any unforeseen consequences or likely hiccups that would make this more retarded than I already imagine it to be?
>>28953390>R18 FitBruh. First of all you'll have to buy another car before you even attempt this. Honestly I'd get a lower mile L15 and do some IHE upgrades or swap a K20Z2 if you're hard set on pissing away money.
two CR-Vs are lined upone '04 the other '14i hope the '04 works out but it was owned on the east coast so i do worry about rust...either way hopefully i will have one in the next 3 weeks.
>>28953567That's based Anon, apart from oil leaks that cab be cheaply addressed, I have nothing but good things to say about the 2.4L engine from 2004 having lived with it in the Accord for so long, my uncle did get the 2014 Accord with the same GDI motor and CVT as the Element and that thing served him well from 60,000 to 154,000 miles until it got rear ended.Both real good vehicles, you're not gonna regret a 2.4L Honda purchase.
>>28953572>CVT as the ElementAs the CR-V***I need to lie down lel
>>28953572that's what i've been reading about the 2.4L engine, gives me some reassurancethank you for your words, helps me feel better about the investment, i'd really like to have the car a long time, i tend to take good care of my stuff and keep it long as i can.>>28953576have a good rest!!

I'm looking to find a download for a navigation disc for a 2010 accord
>>28955769I would just use your phone or get a double din kit with something carplay and modern, the factory nav is a waste of time because of how out of date it is, and it doesn't do any of the live traffic and warings of cops and shit in the road.
>>28956305I feel like a carplay screen would kill the 2010 aesthetic, though. So I would prefer to keep the factory nav if I can. Also with no disc in there the screen doesn't work at all. It doesn't show the radio screen or the cd screen either and I value those features that may get lost if I get a carplay unit.
>>28956439Check ebay for discs Anon, should be cheap and you don't have to fuck around burning a DVD which is ancient technology from my childhood.
what are your opinions on an '04 element?
Should I buy a new Honda sedan in 2026? test drove an accord the other day and it was so nice....
>>28956781Like the same year CR-V but roomier. Only difference is Element owners had a habit of hosing their interior, so ...
>>28956867hosing? what does that meannow i'm worried...
>>28956869https://www.theautopian.com/for-years-honda-element-owners-have-thought-they-could-hose-out-their-interiors-but-heres-the-dark-truth/

>>28956877the upscale is stodgy but the crossroad is cute as fuck
>>28956876Based, they're both K24 engines so you're gonna win at the pump, at the shop when it needs something and doesn't kill you financially, and generally life.
>>28957155thanks man, i appreciate iti hope one works out but seems there is going to be some hang up with actually making the purchase because of the bank holiday/my bank being in a different timezone. i've got my fingers crossed that it'll work though. if not it'll be back to looking again kek
Decided to be a retard and splurge on a wing for my FK7, specifically an OEM FK8 one with some cosmetic damage but it can be easily fixed with a respray. Wing element itself is in perfect condition
>>28957414nice
The cancer is unfortunately terminal on my accord. Rust is so bad I can poke into the interior from underneath. I think I may have to put it down soon. How do I tell the car? Only 190,000 km. So young. I feel so bad guys. Getting weepy eyed thinking about scrapping it. It was my first car.
>>28957795>I can poke into the interior from underneathAs much as I hate to see an Accord go, that thing is totally eaten by the rust, and I like my shitboxes but I wouldn't continue to drive and maintain something that is falling apart.
Anyone here ever own an older pilot?I am wondering how flat the seats fold and if there is enough room in the back to have a full sized air mattress to fit for car camping.
>>28957801>I wouldn't continue to drive and maintain something that is falling apartI agree but I can't help but want to save it. Everything else in the car is perfect. Brakes recently done, no transmission issues, engine is perky, clean interior. It's only the body. Even welding won't fix it. So sad.
>>28957816Jesus christ that's awful, that salty brine shit they put on roads in snowy states is evil, I'd rather just deal with my Accord sliding around if we had snow than the thing getting fucking destroyed.
I bought new frameless bosch wiper blades for my cute lil Jazz and I made my own windshield wiper fluid desu. I mixed super low hardness RO drinking water with a lil touch of liquid hand wash soap. I think it works, but I saw no bubbles.
which one of you was this?
>>28957795>>28957816:( poor thing
>>28957990Me.
>>28957824>that salty brine shit they put on roads in snowy states is evilIt's worse here, they mix gravel in the brine too. All cars here are rusting within 2 years even if new when you live here.
>>28936983
>>28958562Fuck that's awful, and here I was getting a little upset about my 2004 having a little surface rust around the back windshield, but I guess it's a new car worth fixing forever because the quarter panels are solid and everything underneath is still good and the bolts are still shaped like bolts, maybe it's being a cali boi but it's other worldly when I watch New Jersey Meineke guys talk about a 2016 car needing a new exhaust from rust, that's like a new car to me.
>>28958309what where you buying at Lowes?
>>28958694Looking for mexicans to choke in the shower.
Saw a video of people selling beds for SUVs and I wanted one for my CRV so I can comfortably sleep in it while I go camp but they want $800 for it. I'm going to go make my own, I'm not a DIY guy but it doesn't seem that hard.

>>28960688That's what I've thought as well. It needed SOMETHING, and it's best to go OEM>>28960707I think it looks fine, as long as it's not excessive. It only needs a couple minor touches to be better than stock

I like to take a lot of fire roads that don't require awd, just some ground clearanceWould it be a dumb idea to put a 2 inch lift and some bigger wheels and tires on an odyssey to take my kayaks out and camp in occasionally?I was considering a pilot but odysseys are super cheap and spacious inside
>>28960767i got the element >:)i'll pick it up on fridayit needs some work done but will work on it as i cancan't wait to get it detailed though, it's kinda icky
>>28962092I love those ugly little bastards like you wouldn't believe
>>28962098KEKthanks bro i was surprised how much i liked it irl (wasn't sold on the colour) feels like a roomy tank box driving in it. like a little lory or something. looking forward to getting it fixed up and cleaned up.
>>28962158Uk? What engine does it have there?
