>>29000470I like this livery a lot
>>29000474the Spoon livery is a classic, works on basically any Honda
can't wait to get my car washed after my plate arrive... seems like it's taking forever
>ask a friend to help me with installing coilovers>I've not done it before, just want some guidance>wants 250 as it's a day's workBeing a rentcel wrenchlet is suffering.
>>29000938>ask a friend>wants 250Are you actually friends? Lmao
>>29001012My thoughts exactly.
if you got me a cheese and fries for $2.95 while calling me a faggot. then i might consider it
>>29001049>could get a cheeseburger and fries for $2.95>could call someone a fag and not get cancelledThose were the days.
I know it is the furthest thing from an enthusiast vehicle you can buy, but this odyssey is the nicest car I have ever owned
>>29001266I bought a 2006 town and country limited after checking out a ton of minivans. It's the only minivan that both the second and third row stow n go. Super nice interior too.
>>29001299This one only has it for the third row but you can still lay a plywood sheet over the second row and fit it in, got a 10 5 ft kayak in there too
>>29001314>This one only has it for the third rowChrysler was dicks and patented center row stow, which is why nobody else had it. The patent for 3rd row stow was an older patent, so practically every other model minivan had it. Just be careful. That one high-schooler died stuck under a odyssey seat.
>>29001327The third row will be stowed for now. It'll be a while before I can fill the whole thing. Mainly bought it as a stuff hauler for kayaks and shit. Just been driving it a lot because the tsx clutch bearing failed
Just bought a CVT CR-Z People give this car shit but it's so much fun for a car so cheap, there's a ton of mod support too

Hondas are cheap and reliable. Yep, they NEVER break down. Heck, my 2008 400k miler civic basically runs like brand new! I got her on sale for ya if you’re interested, only $100000K because Hondas are cheap and reliable, and I know what I got. A great and reliable first car for your son! I know what I got, so don’t even try to lowball me…
Why buy a truck when an EF sedan with ratchet straps is just as good
>>29006863>I got her on sale for ya if you’re interested, only $100000K because Hondas are cheap and reliable, and I know what I got. A great and reliable first car for your son!

>>29006866accords too
>>29000272I am going to work on my car for the first timeI’m gonna do oil, oil filter, tranny fluid change, coolant change, and throttle body cleanIt’s a 2010 elementI am told that a monkey could service a K28If anything goes wrong, I’m going to shoot myself with a 500 magnum under the car
I developed a mental illness, I can't find any other car that I like more than my FL1 and has AWD.We had some big storms last season and I didn't really have any problems, but I feel like it's only a matter of time given the amount of miles I put on snow.>Mazda3: looks too round>Lexus IS: center console looks too busy>Corolla: looks too stubby / like a toy>WRX: wheel arches look like they were glued on last minute, also why is there a 70inch tv inside the carNo Acura because Japan. The Lexus IS is the closest contender, but I really want a hatchback.
>>29008619God damn I love my little Hondas. Fuck it. Fuck AWD, fuck snow, I'll slide and push an SUV filled with an entire family off of a cliff with me all while grinning if I did it in my Civic.
bros I fucked up buying my first car on my ownended up with a 2005 Civic DX-VP instead of an EX
>>29009219At least you got a car Anon,they're both a D17 engine no matter the trim.
>>29009221you're right but I've never had a car without power windows or locks beforealso I was looking forward to the sunroof. but I was kinda sick when I bought it two days ago so I was way out of it at any rate it's both my first manual car and a car to drive to work, fuck it
>>29009233You can still enjoy it Anon, I have the DX trim Accord from the same era, it has no power door locks either.
>>29009240yeah you're right. fuck it I don't get girls anyway, it doesn't matter
>>29008619I drove an "awd" yaris rental in knee deep snow in Hokkaido last winter. Honestly just about anything works as long as you do it carefully and have snow tires on. Sliding on wet/compacted snow and ice at intersections was sketchy as hell however. But I was out pretty rural with little traffic.Saw lots of people in ditches next to the road and tow trucks were doing overtime. I was surprised given that I assumed that locals would be experienced.Currently own a FL5 so I can see why you love the car. The 11th gen civic is pretty dang good.
>>29010108>in knee deep snow in Hokkaido last winteryou ski/board bro?
>>29010108I think I figured out what to do>keep Civic>trade in wife's Prius for an AWD PriusNow I don't have to worry about rust and I have AWD. >Saw lots of people in ditches next to the road and tow trucks were doing overtime.This always happens if there's a big storm specially on a weekend, when the once-a-year-family-ski-trip usually happens, and they have no idea what they're getting themselves into.Pic rel was my scariest drive. That's all ice. Area is surrounded by hot springs so the heat and steam keeps this area in a constant melt-freeze cycle.>The 11th gen civic is pretty dang good.I know this is the we love Civics circlejerk thread but as I mentioned I've been trying to find a replacement with AWD and it just doesn't exist in my head. 11th gen just ticks all of my checkboxes.
You gave your car her Sunday bath, right anon?
>>29010315>tfw dust and humid morning turning into mud on my carDamn I gotta go to the car wash and hand clean my hubcaps again, TLX type S deserves to stay clean because it's fucking suck.
>>29010315not today but this week i shall :)
>>29010207I don't really ski even tho I know how to. I was just on vacation there. Honestly it was way better than the usual busy tourist hotspots in Japan. Plenty of friendly people too who were willing to talk to a gajin who barely spoke Japanese.>>29010283Hope you can justify the cost to your wife.
Would it be cringy to get this plate frame for my 24 sport hatch civic?I know it's not a fast car or anything special but damn I love it
>>29010662Any custom license plate or license plate frame is cringe, the only exception is to flex the university from which you graduated
>>29010664I have standard plates the frame in pic related I'm gonna buy from my local Honda dealer so it's an official frame not custom. This was just the only pic I could find of it.
>the only exception is to flex the university from which you graduatedThis is correct
>>29010907TLX Type S are so fuckin sexy I would fix it this muchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoBEgV-kJsQ
should I buy slightly used Transalp or clapped out 100k mileage Africa twin?
>>29010536Wait til she sees my new taillights.>>29010662I like rice as much as the next Asian person but do you really need another "Honda" and "Civic" written on your car?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Integra#Theft_in_the_United_StatesI know these stats are ancient, but damn
>>29013371Kek they were the Kias of their time, one of my boys had his DC2 stolen twice, once at work, got it back, and then it got stolen again and he just replaced it with a 2015 Civic.
>>29013162The only Mugen part I'm getting are the wind deflectors. That stuff is so expensive it isn't even funny.
>>29010664L take
>>29016403Based ricer
>take my ES2 to buddy's house to fix oil pan leak>it's not the oil panMy fucking Civic has a worn rear main seal...
>>29016469Sorry anon
>>29010662i think it's pretty
Just hit 80,000 miles on my 2.0T Accord and the crappy 10 speed auto is starting to get real jerky especially at WOT. Anyone ever done a tranny flush on these things and have it fix the problem?
>>29016978Go to some econo lube shop they'll drain the fluid out of the trans cooler line and pour fluid in repeatedly until it's clean.
>5k for a shellthese people are out of their minds
>>29016469BlueDevil seal repair
>>29018071Buddy is going to replace the seal.I don't drive the car much anyway, so it's staying at his house until the next time I'm home.

Amyone here got an acuity shifter? Are they worth the money or more of a meme? I think the default shifter is quite nice. Where do you even go to demo one if you dont know anyone with one to try it out?
Favorite Honda... model? Inb4 Civic

>>29020352S2000, because they never were or became shit
>04 civic ex >5 speed manual -- main thing i was looking for>120k miles>clean title, routine maintenance, timing belt done>1 or 2 owners, im guessing the dad of the guy i bought it from>paint is mostly fine>I paid 3k. how did I do? It's at shop right now for a new-to-me check up but it started, drove, and idled fine.
>>29020705That's a good ass deal, a running Honda in general is $3,000 at minimum, so any maintenance you had previously done is gravy on top.
>>29020737I think my 2009 Honda Fit with 125k miles is worth around 2k. Hasn’t been worth trading it in, but i will have to eventually.
>>29021006Unfortunate, I would take that 2K if you can get it, I wouldn't be surprised if a dealer offered me $1,000 for my rust free 2004 Accord, the car is worth about $150,000 to me anyway so it's not for sale.
>>29021006put it on fb marketplace for $7k>>29020737thats what i was thinking. there were some okay autos of various gens but anything stick was clapped with like 250k or modded to hell. i guess i was asleep in the 10 years while cheap hondas became rare
>>29021006fits in my area (ny) are going for 5-8k even rusted up ones
Spent the last 3 months restoring my s2000 after owning it for nearly 10 years.Replaced all 12 ballpoints with hard raceReplaced all bushings (20+) with spoon hard rubberNew OEM strut/spring assembliesReplaced all driveline mounts with OEMReplaced all cooling system componentsReplaced outer tie rods and end endlinksNew Fujitsubo legalis R exhaustNew OEM flywheel, pressure plate, disk, fork, and bearings.New rear main seal and trans input shaft sealNew convertible top from Robbin’sNew OEM headlightsNew shifter bushingsNew OS sensors and oil pressure sensorNew vtec solenoid gasketsNew OEM starterNew valve cover gasket, tube seals and plug and coil packsPowered coaster valve coverNew valve adjustmentNew timing chain tensionerPainted all suspension components in Eastwood Matte Black Rust Encapsulator PlusNew PS4S tiresNew rotors, brakes, and front calipersAll new fluidsNew steel braided clutch lineNew OEM clutch master and slave cylinderNew intake filterNew CR shift knobDid all the work myself besides the convertible top install. Something like 13k so far. Finishing up final torque at ride height now and then getting an alignment. It's been fun. I love this car. Hardest part was the clutch since I did it on jack stands. In a more sane era, I would have spent a lot less but honda parts and quality aftermarket are really expensive right now.
>>29023489>Something like 13k so farBased DIY, I have more than that just catching up on maintenance via shops and my car still looks like shit.
>>29023491Ty. The economics of classic hondas are getting wild, but so is care maintenance in general. I did the "while I'm in there..." strategy. Took me months to get the spoon bushings. Missed out on a good chunk of summer but I'm almost back on the road.
>>29023498The while you're there methodology is the best way of doing it, I had my control arms pulled out and new bushings pressed in, but I'm kinda pissed at myself for not replacing the entire control arm which would've had a new ball joint on it, my dealer hasn't yapped about ball joints being worn at 185K, but I should've just bought entire control arms.
>>29023502That's what I did for my 09 camry daily. I rockauto'd all new arms with new balljoints and bushings. 185k is a lot. My s2000 has 173k miles on it, was on original bushings/balljoints. Bushings were shot, balljoints were surprisingly holding up (but may as well replace them).
>>29023510>balljoints were surprisingly holding upOEM Honda ball joints are the toughest mofos you can put on a car, I trust my 185k mile ones over brand new moog ones with the weird spline design that can eat out your steering knuckle and ruin it, and then fail and your car falls on the ground.
>>29023514I was sure to get new front lower ball joints from Honda. The rest are Hardrace-branded. Yeah the honda ball joints are absolutely fucking top-notch and if i could have bought them again, I would have. The hardrace ball joints use the same design but comes with a snap ring as well. Honda is actually insane and won't sell any bushings the s2000 unless you buy the entire control arm for 1k a piece.
>>29023489You can still buy new OEM S2000 parts? From where? If it's doable I might get a S2000 down the line.
>>29023705hondapartsnow.com formula Sevasive motorsportsscience of speedbernardi honda(your local honda dealer -- but they will rape you on price). You cannot source every piece though. Some are on indefinite back order so you may find some layover (new) stock somewhere. I can a difficult time finding the rear subframe support member and new front fender liner. End links were also difficult to get. But I was able to get them all.
>>29023924also steprise on ebay - I got OEM clutch hardware, OEM lower ball joints, and OEM motor, trans, and diff mounts from him. Very fast shipping too.
>>29023705you can even get a completely new engine from toda still
>>29023924>>29023999>>29023927Thanks, I'll take a look and see if they got simislar shops in europe. Else I'll get raped by the import fees and shipping. My biggest annoyance is that there is a Honda oem parts shop equivalent in the UK but not in Continental Europe. So we'll still get fucked tax wise.
Had a nice day at the beach. This car just keeps impressing me with its looks. I miss how "playful" the nd2 miata was, as this car is "serious" all the time.
>>29024776Civic a big boi car now, very srs business
>>29024776You talk like a fag and your shit's retarded.
>>29024776>impressing me with its looksThis is a joke, right?
>>29024802Been called that before in my miata. Whats next?>>29024804I think it looks very good. Main reason I skipped the FK8. I would have gotten a 400Z over it if they sold one in Europe however.>>29024796Big boi pricetag too
>be japanese>have camellia red coupe>give it a shitty respray
>>29024804>>29024819I'm partial to the FK8 since I've got an FK7, but the FL5 is multiple steps in the right direction styling-wise.
>>29025005I would have loved to get a FD2 but it was a Japan only car and I'm too weak to get a rhd car.
>>29025236>buy FD2>convert to lhdDone.
>>29025005The FK8 looks bananas. So many details on the front makes it look way too busy, like an anime character with too many piercings. FL5 is my favorite.
>>29025513>So many details on the front makes it look way too busy, like an anime character with too many piercingsIt's definitely a collector's item for being so outlandish and shocking us all, I hope there's some guy out there being nice to his and keeping it out of the elements, that way I can look at it the Honda HQ cars and coffee years from now.
so many del sol (with the b16a3) listings. kinda tempted just for the engine for my ef 2bh
>>29024776>This car just keeps impressing me with its looks.For me it's the fake vents and skinny nog wheels
>>29025848>fake ventsOh no how dare companies do styling>skinny wheels19x9.5s aren't "skinny"
>>29025846No. We did enough of that in the late 90s early 00s. Let the survivors live.
>>29025898im obviously going to swap it out for a d series and use it as a daily (if i buy it)
>>29025910Cheaper to wait for an already swapped EF to pop up.
>>29025923not interested in lsv or b20vtech boosted with dump tubes out the hood
>>29026002Ruining 2 cars is a much better idea.
the acura livery is p dank if im keeping it a stackhttps://x.com/kuroneko_s660/status/2078820897889345634
update: $3000 civic is really fun to drive. new brakes, runs great. gonna put another 120k on this thing i hope. gonna hit pick and pull and see if i can replace the rust rear bumper, otherwise this thing is super clean. general thank you to /o/ and honda general for helping a lurker replace his 10yo daily
>>29026859>gonna put another 120k on this thing i hopeBased, you'd be surprised how many miles you can put on an old Honda if you just stay committed to taking care of it, my Accord was 13.5 years old with 108K on it and we're 9 years, 77,000 hard miles later and I still trust it.
>>29007412AI
Are there any EK headlights with black housings that don't look like shit IRL? I bought some OE style that are all chrome and they look out of place. I'm used to seeing FAs with the factory black outlined housings.
Car is black. Should I refinish these Hot-wheels style or just spray all silver?
>>29010664
>>29026859Reliable older Japanese cars are quite nice outside of two probelms:1. Rust, which is fixable and preventable with maintenance2. Safety, if you were to be hit by some dude on his phone in their monstertruck of a SUV/truck, which may happen to you even if you drive defensively
