Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!

C O O L V I B R A T I O N S

Thinking of installing a rear subframe brace like all the cool civic kids and a big rear sway bar

>>28423622 (OP)
Really close to pulling the trigger on one of these.

>>28424106
They look really nice from the front imo
Definitely wouldn't mind taking one for a rip

>>28424497
Same, I'd daily one if it weren't for the fuckhuge 265 tires, I consider an Accord sport wheel with 235 tires to be overkill as it is.

so when are they going to make civic/integra coupes

>>28424509
The 180hp hybrid newlude is going to be the only one
Auto only
So sad

>>28424509
The new Prelude with that 204HP hybrid setup is probably gonna be the "Premium" Civic coupe

>>28424515
The 2.0 Hybrid Accord moves itself really easily anon, it might be a fun car, I thought hybrids were stupid until I got in a 10th gen Accord Hybrid, I would absolutely fuck it till the 19 inch wheels basically came off it.

>>28424518
I'm sure the hybrid system helps it get to 30 or so fairly quickly
Still, if i was going to spend that much on a new coupe it would need a third pedal
Also it isn't really a looker

>look up pricing on used 2022-2024 civic type r's
>$48-52k
Who the fuck is buying these?? MSRP for a brand new 2025 model is $47k.

>>28424643
There's a dealer markup Anon, like an Accord LX is 31 grand, but the faggot ass Norm Reeves wants like 5K for no reason.

>>28424653
lol, what a fag.

>>28424653
Allegedly there's a dealer like 10 mins from my house that's selling em for msrp

>>28424680
Yeah a lot of people are flying out to get shitboxes at MSRP it's a god damn shame.

i will NOT stop using my floor jack handle as a trunk strut sorry guyz

>>28424695
I prefer prop rods on hoods n hatches you almost wonder why Honda even bothers with crap that fails, prop rod never breaks.

>>28424673

Those are Enkei BBR Competitions. Very rare.

Exhaust question again.

https://shop.redline360.com/collections/all/products/apexi-exhaust-honda-accord-4-cyl-coupe-03-07-ws3-catback-116akh28

I have a CM sedan and found this catback last thread. They say this is for a coupe. And while the undercarriage is the same for the TL and Accord, I noticed the bend towards the cat are slightly different on the sedan vs coupe. Any anons use coupe parts on the sedan? I can't imagine it being any different, though I kno it's possible. If it ain't, there's a few more options I can choose from. Asked elsewhere and was told RSX parts might interchange, but that's a different platform. Surprisingly found a DC Sports down pipe with no issue.

>>28424923
The CM coupe is like 1.9 inches shorter than a sedan overall and has a 2.8 inch shorter wheelbase, so I can't guarantee it would fit despite CMs sharing a lot of parts with each other.

>>28424643
I got OTD for $46k in my 2024, and they gave me 22k for my 92k miles FK8 that I paid 35k for in 2018. Feels good man.

>>28424944
That's kind of a based car strategy, you buy once cry once with the FK8, and keep daisy chaining the K20C cars while not paying that much every month for what it is.

>>28424944
Phone posting fucked me again.

>>28424951
wonder what my '19 with 45k miles would give me...if I even got $28k, that'd set me at a $18000 finance, ~$350/mo over 5 years. I like my fk8 but the body style of the fl5 has grown on me.
bros...

>>28424953
If you can afford it, I don't regret it. Payment didn't even go up. I only did it because I had either a head stud or slight gasket issue. I had replaced injectors and coils etc, yet kept foulding the cyl 3 plug. Decided I didnt wanna chase the trouble further. Only delayed me buying a 2nd car. I crave the M car meme. The G87 is the riciest BMW ever and I wanna have it as a fuck it car.

>>28424962
M2 with an S58 motor is pretty based

>>28424962
Do you mind if I ask how much you make? Been weighing up my options lately.

>>28424974
My "salary" is $87k, but I also work on-call and get OT and a bonus that's worth ~10k each year. I've already hit 80% of my "salary" for the year because of OT. I also live in a low COL state and don't have kids.

Want to get an EK hatch for a rally/autocross project car? What should I look out for, except rust? What should I expect, aside from the fact that it'll be slow as balls? (Pretty much only 1.4s are left here, 1.5 and 1.6 hatches are almost extinct)

>>28424933

thanks for the info.

>>28424989
Realistically like 150k then. Sounds like an interesting job you've got there desu.
>>28424995
Please don't. They're 30 year old cars at this point, and the D14 is gutless. Get a Swift or a Fit/Jazz instead.

>>28425062
Did 7 years working wireline telco until I moved over to the wireless side of the industry 4 years ago. If you would've told me I'd be an "Engineer" making what I do when I dropped outta college at 18 I would've laughed. I was the typical "gifted" kid that was on the path to being a burnout. Made a whole lotta sense when I got an ADHD diagnosis at 30. Long story short that whole "you dont need college, learn a trade" bullshit actually works.

Are all honda oem wheels made by enkei? Are they high quality wheels or just mid tier? Sorry if this is a more of a stupid questions question, just trying to figure out what to buy for my winter set.

>>28425180
Probably, but they are a high quality casting, you're not gonna bend or break em real easily like the cheap rep wheels, I'd personally take a set of Acura TL 17x8 wheels over a cheap set of 17x8 wheels from ebay.

>>28425183
Well, it's either a used oem set or new sparco because they're the only ones that's not absolute bottom tier that's avaliable near me.

>>28425187
Yeah sparcos and wheels like the RPF1 are pretty much the most inexpensive "real" wheels

>>28425062
>the D14 is gutless.
I know that already, drove a friend's one, it was fun in the corners, but slow as shit (that one was automatic on top of everything). And even non-shit variants of D16 like Y2 or Y8 are now expensive and/or hard to find.
>Get a Swift or a Fit/Jazz instead.
Yeah, I might just do that, I found a cheap Swift Sport that makes some noise from the diff, but otherwise is all good.

>>28423681
IWANNADANCE

spotted a rhd midori green ek hatch sitting on mugen mr5 and a SiR wing. doubt it was actually a SiR since it was an auto and i dont think midori green was available for the b16 trim. regardless its sex i would daily

>>28425791
>midori green
>green green

She clean

>>28426162
She 6-6

>>28425636
I'm assuming you live in Europe. Check out the scrapyards for Rovers with the D16.
>Swift Sport
Or buy that.

>>28425791
The SiR-II could be optioned with an auto in Japan, but they weren't offered in any shade of green. I don't believe that Midori Green was offered in any right-hand market, actually; so my money is on respray.

>>28425791

https://www.japaneseclassics.com/vehicle/1996-honda-civic-ek3-2/

>>28426823
These cars had their engine bay painted in the exterior colour, so this car was originally black.

>>28426857
Yes. They're not known for their quality cars.

>>28425791
EK gay
Crx good

>>28426823
kek yea im local to richmond so i see plenty of japanese classics cars around the area but its usually hilux surfs and kei cars. even know a guy who works there. i really wouldnt recommend buying from them ever due to all the respray/coverup stuff but they had a blue del sol SiR a few years ago for like 8k i considered buying.
>>28427070
EK are pretty ugly but im a sucker for odd colors. EG carnival yellow is a big favorite.

Captcha: HSWAPH

>>28427172
Facelift EKs are a lot nicer than the early ones. Sharper headlights, better proportioned grilles, no 'whiskers', and a tidier centre stack.

>>28426162
>>28426166
>CM8 accord 6-6
where the fuck do you get these nowadays

>>28427291
Probably at car auction sites, the people who have these, often times you will have to pry it from their cold dead fingers because they're not gonna just casually trade it into a dealership, I'm the same way even with the more base model CM, you couldn't offer me anything reasonable for it, they're just that good of a car.

>>28427294
You can get the 6-6 transmissions for very cheap, im considering throwing a 6-6 drivetrain in my tired old CM5 for the lulz.

>>28427299
Honestly Anon, I would just keep rocking with the 5AT, the CM5 is just such a great everyday cruiser, that enjoying it as such instead of a performance car that wouldn't be as reliable and pleasant to drive can bring you joy, try taking care of whatever maintenance items you can afford at any given moment, and you'd be surprised how good they are when the suspension is right, there's no fluids oozing out of anywhere, good set of tires, spark plugs and filter tuned up, PCV valve replaced and functional, A/C blowing in your face with your favorite music playing... its a good time.

>>28427307
>I would just keep rocking with the 5AT, the CM5 is just such a great everyday cruiser
The car's in amazing shape and still drives very nice, but it has >300k miles on it. The drivetrain is very very tired. It's making all sorts of clattery bottom-end noises, not straight-up rod knock (yet?) but still enough to where I don't trust it. Valves were adjusted FYI.
Also automatics piss me the fuck off, lugging the engine all the time, making me ride the brakes like a retard, sapping my low-end torque to spin stupid-fluid around so Becky doesn't have to press the clutch. I want a dingus stick in the CM SO bad.

From what i've heard, the hardest part is installing the clutch pedal (remove the dash, redirect the body wire harness, weld in a clutch bracket) but from there it's just typical Honda lego, bolt up a V6 subframe and suspension and it's ready to go.

>>28427334
Hmm, if you want a 6MT, you could probably steal one from a TSX, that way you know it would bolt up to a K24A, regardless of what's going on I would just stick with it because a noisy as fuck CM is probably more trustworthy than some of these ridiculous turbocharged things you can get now, as shit as CM Accords are, they're not even thinking of blowing the head gasket unless you extremely overheat it.

>>28425791
Your rear wheel is on the wrong side of the car

How come you have your general while Toyota-chads have none?

>>28427465
toyoda chads occasionally have a classic general so anons can jerk off over rusty A60s. don't think we've had one since the downtime though

Eurofag here, thinking of buying my first car, civic sedan 2017 that has around 70k miles on it for 14k dollars, is it a dickmagnet or a pussymagnet?

>>28427655
It's a car.

>>28427655
Definitely one of the cars of all time.

redpill me on this shit

>>28428236
>acdelco
no clue, i dont use gm shit in hondas.
Pennzoil synchromesh is decent MTF in a pinch.

>>28428236
You axed this multiple breads in a row didn't you?
Might try redline mtl next fluid swap. I'll let you know how it goes.

>>28427412
yea. sadly its missing the original for that side

>>28427465
i wouldnt mind a toyota general, but im too busy decimating my spine on this aw11 to bother with making one

>mfw just traded in my 2016 civic and got half of my original OTD price i paid for it back in 2016 as trade in value
was #blessed with no maintenance issues, most costly bill was just over 300 for brake and tranny fluid after 30k miles or so
got rid of her at 69k miles for a new elantra n
pray for me boys that i continue an easy going maintenance schedule and no issues going from team nip to team gook

What does the N stand for?

>>28428554

>>28428510
>got rid of a reliable civic for a hy*ndai
you're in for a ride kek

>>28428614
kek they've got a 10 yr/100k mile power train warranty it can't be that bad right
right?
it's def more fun than the civic, just hope it's problem free

>>28428642
>warranty
They're not well-known for upholding that warranty.
Dump it at 99k, or it'll throw a rod at 130k. Hyundai/kia still can't design a reliable engine in 2002+23.
Save up some dosh so you can trade it for a CTR.

>>28428642
>hyundai
>problem-free
Not possible

>>28428642
A warranty that good is how you know something major will go wrong. Otherwise they couldn't move them.

>>28428645
well my civic only had 69k miles after 9 years so i imagine by the time the warranty is nearly up i'll upgrade to like an m series wagon or something
>tfw volvo no longer makes their based v60 polestar wagon

>>28428614
>3S-FE
actually its a formula atlantic 4age you bigot chud. jokes aside these cars feel great stock and if theres any car id swap or boost ird be my miata or crx. restoring this shitbox has lowkey bankrupted me.

>>28429155
>bare CM steering wheel not all worn away at the side and top
>not even a hole worn through the OEM floormat
>armrest looks beautiful
>edge of driver seat not even wrinkled from sitting on it
I am so hard right now

>>28429160
Have another. Would you believe it's been totaled? lol. It was a driver airbag deployment for the core support and lower right bumper. But it's garaged, elderly driven since new, and when I inherit it, I'll do some light mods, keep the stock parts, and drive it in their memory.

I'm the one asking about 17x8 rims and an exhaust. Found Tien adjustable dampers, or what's left of them. Might buy them soon before there are no more. A thanks tough to you guys. Chillest people on /o/. I like you guys.

>>28429339
Jesus christ Anon, that's a nicer car than my clean title one that's never been hit real hard but has destroyed paint and 175,000 miles of wear and tear... but that would be an awesome car with some light suspension and wheel mods, maybe have the paint waxed every few months so it stays beautiful, cause that's awesome that the paint is still so decent, it's gonna take every bit of $3000+ paintless dent removal after meticulously masking things off to really make my car look good.

>>28429356
Accidently posted tires lel

>>28429358
Yeah I seen yours in the threads. Very clean for what CMs are still around. This has had paint work on all panels but the driver and left rear door. And roof. Otherwise no structural damage. It doesn't get driven much and I'm afraid to do it when I have to to blow out the cobwebs. Our drivers her are getting worse by the day.

I'd like to pull a few dents out myself. Later this year I plan to tint the windows for her car so the sun doesn't destroy the interior. I have a 370,000 mile Pontiac with a bleached interior because of no window tint.

>>28429373
>This has had paint work on all panels but the driver and left rear door. And roof
She's not bad Anon, nothing wrong with doing what's necessary to keep the car looking good, just having a CM that has clear coat intact and is shiny all over is gonna make people say "wow this car's really nice" even if it's a 2005 and some things had to be re-done... But don't feel scared driving it, I remember inheriting mine and being like "holy shit I'm driving alone in a car" but it wore off and I have been enjoying the thing for 8 years now.

Changed out the shift boot last night. The OEM black leather boot was out of place imo.

>>28430119
>11th gen has full red carpet instead of black with red stitching like FK
That's so rice, I love it.

>>28430119
all you need now is some plastic carbon to cover up the rest

should I buy a new civic type r?

>>28430549
They're 5k cheaper, big woop lol.

>>28430581
10k but who's counting

>>28430549
But there are hidden costs to the elantra N
It is 20 dollars for a replacement badge that isn't a hyundai one
And the shame of having to tell someone
>yeah mine is the hyundai over there, it's actually really good...

>>28430754
>>yeah mine is the hyundai over there, it's actually really good...
kek it is fun as shit to drive tho

>>28430596
Worth the extra dosh for not sounding like a wet fart when driving away.

>>28430513
I don't get it. That car is 70k leafbux, which is 51k USD.

>>28431325
SPOON livery is so kino

eg front on a del is new to me

>>28431347
They should've sent em to the original dealer like that holy fuck

>>28431163
Expenny. They're equiv to 42k usd in nz.

>>28431329
It just works no matter the platform

>drive civic

>try again in the morning and it starts fine
>confused, leave car parked for 8 months and take bus/walk instead
>get in car and drive car, starts fine a couple of times now
Am I retarded, will the car stop starting again if I use it again it is a 1994 civic

>>28431621
To be honest it sounds like you had it in N or some form of sensor stopped it cranking. Eg. clutch pedal sensor. If you are that scared of being stranded somewhere and don't want to work it out just pass it on to someone and let them work it out.

>>28431632
The clutch sensor is deleted

>>28431621
>leave car parked for 8 months and take bus/walk instead
??? nigga what

>>28423622 (OP)
She's 8 years old now, 67k miles

>>28432188
Jfc Anon that car looks like it's one year old, and we're at a point where 10th gen Civics are becoming kinda raggly due to age and shitty owners.

>>28432077
I have depression sorry

>>28432188
damn you could probably get 12-15k trade in value for that thing if you wanted to upgrade

>>28432224
I was thinking about it but new cars are so expensive now. I got the 1.5T sport for $21k with 0.9% APR lol

>>28432207
I've only ever hand washed it, clay and sealant every year or 2.

Kektus

>>28432256
That's extremely based, makes my want to paint my car and then either wax it every few months, or sealant every 6 months so that it stays mint.

>>28432256
yeah i got my 2016 ex-t for 22k out the door back when i bought it new, recently traded it in with 69k miles and got just under 11k trade in value and it had some cosmetic damage, a busted fog lamp, but otherwise good mechanical condition and well maintained
went with an Elantra N and loving it so far, super fun to drive and best performance/dollar imo
ended up paying 27k cash out the door after my trade in
but yeah new cars are extensive, but used car values are even more overinflated imo so depending on what you'd want it could still be a favorable deal

Changed the front struts on my 2009 Honda Fit. Been putting it off cause I knew it would be a pain in the ass and it was. Previously changed the rear shocks which went a little easier. Everything was just so rusted. Changed my sway bar links last year which helped a little. Wanted to sell the car by now and get a CR-V, but they are so expensive. Oddly enough the hardest bolt was a 12mm brake line holder. Took an air impact gun to take off. So much rust that at first it was a 13mm until the rust fell off. A wrench couldn't be used because the metal it is on was thin and the whole bracket bent with any amount of tightening.

Car rides a lot better. It feels tighter and going over the same bumps I always do feel much nicer. Only cost like $160 from rockauto, so money wise it was worth it. Just really hard with all the rust from the winter salt in my area.

>>28432788
That sucks
Dealing with rust turns a shitty job into a nightmare
At least you had an impact

I'm super lucky that my car came from the south not that long ago and is rust free but in a few years I'll be there with you.

This shartmart compact 12v impact is pretty hoss bros
I had the highpower sitting on the sidelines but this zipped both axle nuts and 10 lugs off no problem

>>28432903
Based, I'll bet it could get the infamous K series crank pully bolt to spin

>>28432922
Next time i go to the junkyard i might give ot a crack lol
I highly doubt it will budge but maybe

>>28432922
nta but I couldn't budge a K24 crankbolt with my biggest battery impact, had to break out the 1970s giga nigger air impact. I doubt the balmart compact could budge it.

>>28432903
>>28432922
honda actually made their engines spin clockwise to prevent people from easily removing the bolt by bumping the starter

>>28433859
Wouldn't surprise me, Honda mounts the oil filter sideways so people can't prefill it, which prevents that debate.

>park CM for over a year while busy with work shit
>get back home one day
>take it off the jackstands, spray off the dust
>charge up the battery
>prime the oil with a remote starter switch
>hop in, turn the key

Not sure what kind of psyop bullshit Honda pulled to make a 3300lb economy car THIS enjoyable.

>>28433874
>Not sure what kind of psyop bullshit Honda pulled to make a 3300lb economy car THIS enjoyable.
CM's have that effect on people, I still haven't gotten tired of mine and it's been years and years, it just drives so well.

This isn't strictly Honda related, but I'm sure the NCC-1701-D used a Honda warp drive so i think it is fair to ask
What is the point of puttering around at warp 2 when a Honda drive will comfortably keep you at warp 9.8 indefinitely? They were meant to rev

should I build an EK?

>>28434564
Yes.

>>28434575
>Have had my EK hatch for so long that I think I now prefer the sedans

>>28434819
Do it.

>left my car for repairs last month and some drunk threw a beer bottle through the windshield while at the shop and had to wait a month for a windshield
after a month of waiting my car came back with a new windshield...
missed driving it so much
also, no my mechanic guy (owner of the shop) works on my family's cars, he honestly felt bad. this situation really put into perspective how old my car is - knowing that parts i guess are really scarce for my car for important stuff. blows my mind he couldn't find and no one could make a new windshield based on what he told me as he called everywhere or whatever - even used ones. had to get it from japan at a premium - the windshield probably cost more than my car.
really like the ej1 - it is slow but i don't really care

that is disgusting

Just sold my beloved Honda Civic 2007 to someone less fortunate who desperately needed a car. She needed a car, I need an upgrade. Specifically, I'm looking at being lower middle class instead of poor starting in 2026 and while that's a great step up, I need to be very fuel efficient in the near future as I need to do a LOT of traveling to find somewhere to move to and escape a decaying area being ruined by gentrification. Do NOT want to get dragged right back down to the poorhouse.

So, I'm considering a hybrid Honda as one potential step up. Next car's got to be a hybrid, and I certainly could go with a van given that that would potentially make it possible to camp in the back some nights and save big on hotel costs.

Honda Odyssey Plug-In Hybrid looks good, and the rather new Civic Hybrid also looks good. But, I also do NOT want telemetry in my car.

Knowing all this, is there a good Honda on the market for my needs, or should I seek something else? Mainly I want insane fuel economy and no telemetry. Those are the most important factors.

>>28435157

>>28435169
Spending $50K on a new vehicle is the best way to lift yourself from poverty.

>>28435188
$10k tops. I bought my in-town non-traveler EV for $4000.

>>28434819
That's the route I went with too, with the added bonus that here both hatches and coupes get relentlessly harassed by both cops and chavs in diesel bmw's, while with this sedan I go by pretty much unseen.

>>28427465
Because, Honda is fun and Toyota is not. Honda has soul.

Any tricks to get into an fg4 without the key?
Locked myself out like a dumbass and the spare key is an hour away.

>>28436000
I would honestly find a way to get to the spare key because the tow truck man will bend your door and fuck your shit to high heaven, so if you like your FG4 not having a bent to shit door, use the spare key.

>>28432264

>>28436062
That shit's clean, really based if it's an inline 6 one because it's rack and pinion and not a recirculating ball like the V8.

>>28427465
Because toyota only has a few cool cars, which are unaffordable by the common poorfag. Honda, you can make any honda shitbox cool even a honda fit.

>>28436090
I mean sure, the 6 has better steering, but if I had the choice between that and an S62, i'd go with the latter.

>>28436166
True, E39 M5s are based

>>28436174
Is it weird that my two favorite brands are BMW and Honda?

>>28436229
Honda and BMW are youthful as fuck compared to Toyota and Mercedes benz, yeah the AMG benzes are badass, but a regular 3 Series or 5 Series are drivers cars.

>>28436237
Yup, Honda is king of FWD, BMW is arguably king of RWD. Both still make manuels, legendary engines, and cool bikes too.

>>28427465
The Toyotas everyone loves were always expensive and were not available at all in the US after a certain year. Honda and Acura at least sold SOME cool stuff like the Prelude SH and old ITR's and NSX here for a bit.

Oh great the Califag spiclet BMW shill is here.

Some euros are swapping 1.8Ts in theirs. Me I'd just go with a C64 and better fd.

>>28436643
Some of the pixels in this image look off...

Just got an EP3 steering wheel to mount on my EK (not a burger so the wheel is a straight swap), a Daicel airbag made in Germany means it's not one of the shrapnel mines that had to be recalled, right?

>>28437970
Yeah Takata airbag was the steering wheel claymore

>>28437971
Good to know anon, thanks. Now I'm off to figure the best way to either cover or replace the steering wheel badge. As cool as it is to have something that screams Type-R, a red Honda logo looks tacky on a car with no other red accents.

You can turn off the telemetry in the new Honda cars through the settings and it only sends the data if you opt into it via the HondaLink app on your phone.
Because the head unit is android based it's pretty easy to turn off a lot of shit.

can you honda guys who only use civics to just go in a straight line pick a diff car. i can never find a good civic for sale

Any idea what this is? I got my EK sedan real cheap because the last owners overdosed on heroin, they wired up some apple carplay shit into it so I'm not sure what I'm looking at

>>28440938
Where does it lead to?

>>28440952
Up into the back of the dash

>>28440964
Where does it go? ECU, fuse box, radio, it's spliced into another wire, alarm?

>>28440972
Fuse box I think, I'll pull on it some and get more pictures later today

>>28440938
Clutch switch. Either the one that is responsible formaking sure you're in neutral before starting or the one that turns of cruise control, I forget.

>>28440938
>>28441032
Ok so the one on the bottom is the cruise control one and the one on the top is the clutch safety switch

>>28441035
>>28441032
So the cruise control then? Makes me wonder what else is out of place. Thank you for the insight

>>28441055
You're cruise control won't work because the switch needs to be pressed. When the clutch pedal is depressed, it breaks the circuit and turns off cruise. Yeah it's not really an issue, but I wouldn't want something dangling and interfering with my ability to use the pedals...

Looking at an EP3 (USDM) currently. Guy wants 3.5k for it. It has like ~235k on it but it looks to be in fantastic shape for the milage (not a lot of rust, interior is immaculate, body panels look straight, and paint looks good). It's been lightly riced ("cold" air intake, exhaust, coilovers). According to the seller it's got a bad IACV and idles funky when in neutral. Am I retarded for kinda wanting it? I want a little manual hatchback to put around in as a second car and have always had a soft spot for the EP3.

>>28441122
$3500 is totally appropriate for a civic in need of repairs, you can't even get a Honda Accord for that much typically.

>>28441035
>>28440938
The switch works with a plunger
When the pedal is released the plunger is pressed down
The sensor appears to be taped, so that might let you keep cruise on with the pedal depressed
No clue why you would want to. That switch is also kind of the forward stop for the clutch. Maybe the clutch or master cylinder was going and he was hoping for some extra grip on the clutch? Not sure if a hydraulic clutch works that way

>That switch is also kind of the forward stop for the clutch.
For the clutch pedal

you guys think home depot sell this king of bolt?

>>28441362
You would have better luck at ace hardware if around. They have a fantastic bolt selection
Maybe not a shoulder bolt exactly like that but who knows.

hey /hg/ my b20vtec ek will crank but not start and it seems like it's getting no fuel. The fuel pump does not prime when turning the key, the fuel system worked perfectly before the swap (d16y4). After a little research I believe it may be the hondata s300 or perhaps immobiliser. Some hondata forum posts discussed a similar issue and they mentioned cutting "J1" in the ecu to find the problem? should I do this bros and see what happens? or is there a chance the ecu is cooked?

Should I buy a Honda Accord Sport, a Honda Accord EX-L, or a Honda Civic Touring, please advise.....I live in California and want to keep this car for a long time and want to wrap it/tint it/get rims/make it cute (I'm a girl) and drive around everywhere with it. I like to drive scenic routes all the time and listen to music so the sound system has to be good and also the engine has to be really loud because I like the vibrations. Thinking of maybe buying a custom sound system too.. My budget is like, 15-20K, like 22K max I'll pay.

>>28441636
Does the relay click?

What should I swap into my EK sedan? Its my first real project so I dont want to get too in over my head if it can be helped. Needs a lot of work so I'm trying to plan things out first

I feel like I've made an atrocious decision by buying a disel honda, but every time I drive it, it brings nothing but a smile on my face.

>>28442368
K24 is the best for a sedan. imo its not worth spending the cash for a B swap or a K20 for a 4dr. Alternatively you could try to find a B20 from a first gen CRV and a manny tranny.

>>28442403
What model? You must be European.

>>28441636
cutting J1 defaults the ecu to the onboard map that wasn't stored on the EEPROM slot for the s300. as long as you can solder then no big deal to try it. if your MPFI relay isn't clicking and your pump isn't priming then you have another issue. In case the MPFI relay does click, go into smanager and make sure fuel prime isn't disabled (0 seconds). As far as immobilizer goes, the s300 does have a security setting that you can make sure is disabled. The onboard immobilizer is in the ECU you swapped out for the p28 or p72 so that's no longer an issue. If the MPFI relay doesn't work you'll have to do some diagnosing. Try checking the MPFI fuse under the dash (fuse 31) isn't blown. Also check fuse 44 on passenger side strut tower in the bay. Since you've done a swap, make sure ALL plugs are seated completely. ECU wire jumpers are a very common failure point too. most are crap quality or outright pinned incorrectly. I gave you some things to check so good luck.

>>28442420
Yes, 1.6 civic, the petrol versions are like10-30% more expensive.

>>28442321
>>28442485
thanks for the replies. the main relay is in good working order, i tested all pins according to the service manual and it clicks/has continuity when it is supposed to. I tested the plug where the relay goes in the car and it does not supply any voltage between the appropriate pins (pic related) when the key is turned to ignition. This is only with the pins associated with ecu so i'm led to believe ecu is surely the problem.
I have already tried fucking around in SManager to test fuel pump/make sure it is set to prime as it should. When i upload a calibration there is no confirmation on screen, is this a possible indication it's not functioning properly? I feel like something should happen.
Thanks for the advice about fuses/jumper harnes, i checked all fuses again and they're good. I previously tested the whole harness while it was out of the car to label all connectors. I did this through the jumper harness using an obd1 pin diagram with no issues so i believe all plugs are making good contact.

>>28442494
>the petrol versions are like10-30% more expensive
I always forget I live in the only European country that idolizes diesel like it's the second coming of Christ, because we are the exception and petrol cars are the cheaper ones here. Nevermind that diesels are more expensive to buy new or used, maintenance and parts are more expensive, you kill the engine if you only do city driving, and it sounds like a tractor going down the road.
>but fuel at the pump is 0.10€ cheaper!
Is all the retards seem to think about without realizing they need some 10 or 15 years to finally get a return on their higher investment cost. But honestly I should expect it from one of the most financially illiterate countries in Europe.

Does Honda still make proper sports cars.
Post one cool Honda that is still being made today.

>>28444231
FK8 and FL5 are both ~200-300 lbs more than a 20 year old Civic, while making double the power. Don't act like its a 4000lb+ BMW. Considering what CAFE and vehicle safety standards have done to vehicle weight, I'm happy they don't weigh more. That weight is exactly why they didn't do AWD. AWD in these cars would put it in the weight class of their porky cousin.

>>28443645
Who socketed your ecu for the s300? might give them a shout and see if they can swap it out or redo the chipping service for you. you might have a loose pin in the socket or a broken solder joint. Continuity test the board from the solder pads on the back of the EEPROM ZIF socket to the pins inside the socket. try wiggling the socket while you continuity test it. the ecu might be dead in another way that I'm unsure. as far as uploading the tune to the s300, it doesn't really give you a notification. It's been a long time since I had a s300 since switching to Haltech but try making a small change like prime time, upload it to s300, key off, unhook usb cable, key back on, hook up usb, and download from ecu and see if it contains the change you made. that's a problem with these old ecus and piggybacks. it's like the tax collectors using Pascal. that's why I went with Haltech on mine.

>>28444341
Depends on what generation of Miat
AP2 S2000 or DC5 teggie R

>>28444442
I acquired the ecu with the engine and all other parts i bought for the swap. The previous owner had it running before the sale, but it was sitting (unconnected on my desk) for a few months before i finally got around to putting it all together. perhaps it shat itself since then in some way.
I am very tempted to swap to haltech and if it looks like the hondata solution is gonna cost too much i will go for it, seeing as though haltech make plug and play kits. I'd rather not open the ecu and start playing with shit so i've contacted the hondata dealer/specialist in my city to hopefully test my s300 in another ecu and inspect/repair the ecu. thanks again for all the help and i will try downloading the calibration as you suggested to make sure it's correct.

>>28443914
>post car that is more double the price than type r

>>28423622 (OP)
One of the ABS sensors sensors on my oil fouling civicu is malfunctioning and basically because of it nothing else in terms of assists really works (like LKAS etc) except the high beam sensor (displays an error but still works) and rain sensor.

Now none of these bother me except the steering is unusually light and doesnt center as quickly or completely as it normally would.

Now my question is, once I get it fixed, would it be possible to have ABS turned off through OBD2 but still have the steering function normally? I'd quite enjoy it on a track day. Would one of the 999 honda forums be worth asking? I hate having to sign up but idk where to search for this

Honda should make a nsx for the price of type R.

This is undercoating right? The stuff running along the bottom of the car. It has a slightly rubbery texture when you poke it. I think the previous owner undercoated it frequently because for a 11 year old car in Canada it basically has 0 rust (except for the part I sanded down and will repaint). I think it's starting to rust under the undercoating as well. Does the undercoating need to be removed?

>>28454002
It has to be some sprayed on coating, Hondas are typcally smooth on the bottom of the painted surfaces, it only gets lumpy underneath the actual car because of the factory rustproofing, and it wouldn't be rubbery like the aftermarket coatings, that's really based to have an 11yo car in Canada with little to no rust, I've seen 7 year old minivans on Davidsfarm with more corrosion on it than my 21 year old car because Canada is so harsh.

i shouldve bought the clean eg for $4k and now it's even more impossible to find

>>28454019

They salt the roads.

>>28454186
Well yeah Anon, it's snowy and shitty and salty, the moisture and salt not washed off eats the car alive.

>>28454189
Could you not just use sand and avoid salting the earth?
t.never seen snow

>>28454226
I've never seen a hard salty winter either, but I'm thinking it's a huge conspiracy between the salt industry if there is one, and automakers to make shit cars that rust out when they're not even a decade old and you gotta buy new ones over and over.

>>28454002
I see a small bubble just below the paint chip on the bottom right. One more a little further down next to the textured part. About 3 inches further. That's a sign if it's a soft-to-the-touch bubble. The textured part is rust proofing yes. Common on most cars nowadays.

>>28454019
>>28454662
Thanks senpaitachi. I sanded it some more and sprayed it with primer but overnight rusty water started leaking from one of the bubbles (see yellow spot in pic). I also missed a bubble under the paint that I didn't see until I primed it. This seems like minor rust but I have some free time so I might as well take a crack at fixing it all

Don't know why all my pics are getting rotated sideways lol

>>28456035

Check your clutch fluid reservoir and see if there is any black sediment in there or if the fluid looks dark

>>28456058
>>28456062
thanks i'll take a look. i changed the master and slave cylinder recently
it might just be old and i have to double clutch (haven't been doing it yes you can call me a retard now)

>>28456141
>i changed the master and slave cylinder recently
I would check the fittings too and try to rebleed it. I know the master cylinder fittings are a bitch to get to but you can probably snake your hand in and feel for seepage

Both headlights in my EK sedan are busted, should I just order whatever on rockauto or is there a good reason to get some factory ones from the junkyard?

>>28456935
The OEM headlights refract light the best, polish those bitches up and light up the road.

To anyone who have mounted a EP3 Civic steering wheel on a EK Civic (RSX wheel is the same I think), is this large gap between the wheel and the cowl normal? The wheel feels solid and I don't feel it any loose as I'm turning, but I tried pushing it in as hard as I could twice, and in both times it never went any closer than this.

Having a hard time deciding on an ecu for my car as I’m getting the turbo kit wrapped up. Pretty typical kit and plan on a 10psi spring until I build the bottom end. This would be something I would be tuning myself so some options definitely stick out since they “learn” and can make small adjustments. I have an obd2a car. Any advice from someone who’s been at this point in the last couple years?

So far it seems my options would be:

Chipped ecu & burner but think this is probably a bad bet, Snake Emu and ecu 650, S300 and ecu1000, Haltech 550 with harness 1200, Link G4X 1250

Also looking for injector,pump & o2 wideband kit advice. Planning on huntertuned injectors,walbro or kemso pump & really not a clue on the wideband

Has the 8th gen Si joined the likes of the EM1 and EP3 Si of being next to impossible to find one that's not ratted out? There's already a maniac in my area trying to sell a Mugen Si with over 125k miles that's modded to shit for $23k

Pretty much any manual transmission car becomes like this after a certain amount of time because people who drive manual transmissions often cannot behave themselves when it comes to not modifying the car and clutch dropping it into smithereens.

Hello honda niggas, I'd like to buy one of you when I move to dubai but is there any RWD somewhat sporty variant.

>>28460856
Besides the S660, NSX, or S2000?

Saw an early Element with all the trim faded blue.

>>28423622 (OP)
I have an old shitbox EF hatch that was bound to be a parts car that I'm trying to daily instead

It has many problems but the worst one is something to do with the choke? Or this stupid throttle body injection thing. For the longest time I thought it was an electrical issue.

The car:
- Starts when it sits for a long time, doesn't like to start again even if it only runs for a couple minutes
- Pisses out fuel if I look at this one connector wrong
- Idles shitty

I was fucking with it today and took the lid off the PGM or whatever the fuck Honda calls this thing and I see the choke plate is always shut, not sure where it's getting it's air from. The choke pull off isn't working.
It did the thing where it doesn't start and I held the choke open while my friend cranked it and - it started!

Now that I've isolated the issue somewhat I'm downloading a Haynes manual and wiring diagrams and such, but I thought I'd ask you lads, have you seen this issue before? And what the hell is supposed to be plugged into this connector at the back of the thingy?
It's a 1991 DX model

Also it has the classic Honda idle up and down, I adjusted the idle down and it stopped but now it bogs down at low RPM although maybe that's from the choke or the fuel leak, god help me

Ok this connector is broken and leaks horribly.

I found that connector on the back for the vacuum sensor or what was left of it hanging so I'll fix that and plug back in.

>>28462915
Damn Anon, I've never seen a windshield de-laminate like that that, I still wouldn't do anything unless it's either leaking, or you can't see out of it, it is really easy to spend like $400 on fuckin windshields for Hondas when they get busted up.

>>28462935
That's a based as fuck head unit Anon, it's built similar to my DEH-S5120BT with the triple sets of 4V RCA outs, but mine doesn't have the satellite radio port which isn't really needed. I know it doesn't have an ultra premium look or feel, but internally they are well built for the price.

Damn I thought it would be closer to $200. It's been getting worse over time actually so I might have to bite the bullet :(

>>28462999
I once quoted $357 from safelite a few years ago for a CM because I was curious since my windshield has pitting and a massive wiper scratch, but I still decided to stick with it since I could see and it's not cracked. If the windshield is getting shitty enough, it wouldn't be a terrible use of money to have it changed, clear auto glass is a nice thing to have on your car.

Anyone ever heard of this brand? Are they any good? I can't find many reputable option for CM Accords. Tien would be my other choice, but i may remember this brand in the future.

>>28463625
I'd avoid them if possible

>>28463011
The only thing is, if it is Chinese glass it might be a different color. My glass is that vaguely blue tinted from factory. Not sure if aftermarket glass will be the exact same

>>28463780
Aftermarket glass should be OEM equivalent, maybe if it's not impossible you could use something like Hondapartsnow to put in the VIN of your car and get the actual OEM part number for a factory windshield if you want it to be the way it was from factory.

>>28463786
I know it'll fit but it might not have the exact same shade of green/blue
Also ouch for a direct replacement. Mine is asahi glass so 1k

>>28463797
Fug, I did notice that TSX windows even on the side have weird mirror-y finish to them compared to the clear fishbowl of a regular Accord, which can really tax your ass if something breaks.

I would speak to local auto glass places and ask them about the glass having the solar protection of the factory glass.

seriously, why did this faggot would ever think this look good?

>>28463987
It's kinda based, you do a bunch of hood rat shit and then the witnesses can't decide if an old civic or Integra came and left the scene.

I hate boomers so much bro, they couldn't afford to send their kids to college to have a better life with nice cars because they're shit parents, but at the same time they wanna act like they did a good job so they encourage their kids to go into debt and lobby to let the kids borrow massive amounts of money that they're stuck in debt with forever.

Replacement honda cm glass looks to be around 500 (+S&H, +tax, +install fee) which is still a lot
Not the guy originally posting about it, but was thinking about getting replacement glass because of pitting and decided not too because of sperging out about matching.

I don't know Anon, you've gotta remove the roof moldings, and then find away to break the adhesive, and than suction cup the thing off, and then apply new black adhesive, and then you're hoping you put the fuckin thing on centered and not leaking afterward. You shouldn't feel any shame for paying a bodyshop or some auto glass place to put that thing on, having a CM is hard enough with the shit we can fix going wrong with it.

Noted. Thank you

Safelite just comes to you and don't need to drive your car at least. I was only looking at a local shop before because they had a good reputation
Mine is a little touchy at low speeds though with the light flywheel and some ecu fuckery

>>28464531
Honestly Anon just do safelite and tell them if they need the piece moved, you can move it where needed because the clutch is modified and it might stall the car or start burning out the clutch.

does honda not use centering clips or anything like that for windscreens? had a glass guy come and remove my rear window to reseal it due to a rust leak (he put on some of the real good shit™ for rust, not readily available to the general public) and there were little plastic clips all around that sat in little pockets created when the steel was stamped at the factory, these allowed the window to sit perfectly aligned while the new glue cured.

I'm not sure, but Honda makes things so well that the windshield probably couldn't even be shifted very far off center

Ridgeline Type R when?

>>28464685
Imagine an Acura Ridgeline based Type S with 355HP V6... holy shit that would fuck, they already make an MDX Type S, it's not impossible.

Honda is going to be making new-production parts for some of their older sports models

God damn the idea of a unibody pickup with 255/35/20 Y spoke Acura wheels is making me kinda hard

Rolling for crx parts

>その第一弾として、Hondaの代表的なスポーツカーである初代NSXが対象となります。将来的には、他のスポーツタイプの車種にも対象を広げていく予定です。
>starting with the original NSX
>plans for others later on
pretty neato though but I'd like to know what is in the scope of "other sports models"

>>28465644
Probably Integra GS-Rs and shit like that, I'm glad Honda started with the NSX because there's a lot of people that would like an OEM clutch for their NA1, but couldn't get anything but aftermarket, I hope they extend that into non sporty cars like Acura Legends, because it is an inhuman feat of junkyard searching and knowing people to buy parts off of to restore one of those.

I've been thinking about your problem and this might be your solution. hit up jason waters on facebook or contact info on his site. he chips obd0/1 ecus regularly and he chipped mine about 10 years ago when I got into the game. really stand up guy. see what he says and send your ecu to him for repair if he thinks that's your issue. he can also replace your caps while he's in there or, if you prefer, buy one of his ecus already socketed and mail him yours as a core. Anyhow, good luck my friend.
