Redpill me on the differences between the K series and the B series

>>28467944
K has better flowing head, more displacement and VTC on intake to retard of advance

>>28467966
or advance

>>28467966
>>28467969
Based K blocks, not to mention it's a based as fuck timing chain driven setup that you change the oil on and have a car practically forever.

>>28467605 (OP)
where do you go for used 90s and early 2000s cars? I want a honda prelude so bad, but I'm certain they shouldn't cost $12k.

Asking for advice from any anons that have to deal with rust often. '97 EK Civic from Southern Europe and rust is a non-issue here (almost never rains and the last time it snowed here was in the 1960s), but since I saw a rusted battery tray on an otherwise clean car as a whole, I suspected a battery acid spill at some point in its life and wanted to see how it was underneath.

Pic related is is what I found. I still have to extract the two bolts from the battery tray I had to shear the head from, but since I have no experience with rust at all, at which stage do you think this it at, and how fixable is it?

>>28469138
looks manageable to me. naval jelly or sandpaper to attack the rust and get it off, 2-part epoxy to seal it for good. done. looks like a pain.

>>28469138
That’s what our cars look like after being driven in salt for one winter in northeast America

>>28469880
The front of that integra looked exactly like an NSX for a few seconds

God damn Asians will go and make the most beautiful polished cylinder heads and double wishbone suspension and then drive like this.

I'm having my first kid in December, is it time to take the CR-V pill? My clapped out FG1 is good enough for me but I don't want my kid crushed to death by Stacey in her nigged out Suburban

I've had 90 crx si, 98 accord v6 coupe, and now a 12 pilot 4wd. I love the pilot just as much as my other Honda's, recommended

>>28470484
See post below you

Fucking 11th gens dude

Why they gotta be so nice?

Let me guess, you require more?

>>28470897
nice fitment

I crashed a crx on this drug called clonazolam, I got a free sample on the Internet and drove 40 mins to my buddy's, hit one car, exchanged insurance, hit another 10 mins later, exchanged insurance talked to cops they somehow let me go, then drove it fucked up down the road to a skatepark and passed out in the bowl, this was like 2015

It was mint too rip

>>28470893

>>28470553
color too saar

>>28470553
I miss when the Civic was a small car.

>>28471245
Same, but my god is it just about the nicest midsize car ever now, it is so well equpped for what it is and it cost basically $2000+ less after inflation than a stripped out midsize CM Accord with no fucking features, and way less safety equipment, and 15 inch steelies.

If I had to go out go through the rig-amoral of financing something at a stealership, the new Civics are it.

tnx brah

>>28468515
Anymore? Realistically no. Many of these had their H22s pulled for swaps when B series dried up or to have more power on hand than the B series out of the box, pending on where you lived. Add 20 years to the mix since it was discontinued, and now it's becoming a collector car. Just 10 years ago, I was looking for parts for mine and found a super nice one special ordered and souped up by a dealer for 30k. It sucks cuz I'd love another 5th gen myself. Keep an eye on craigslist. Sometimes deals pop up. Facebook MP as well. But you have to be quick. That advice goes for any good deal though.

Man I remember passing up mad ef civics back in the day cause they were like 3 grand for a nice one and that was too much for a ef lol

Why do you honda mexicans always do hilarious stuff like picrel?

>>28472593
All shit, in the biggest city in america too. I got my mint crx si for 2200 in 2011

luv my FK7 like you wouldn't believe

Wanna change my 2007 Citroen C4 that pops up a new issue every 6 months.

Saw a 2011 Honda Civic, petrol engine, manual transmission with over 200k kilometers for a little less than 3000 Spanish eurobucks before paperwork.

I'll be using it mostly as a weekend car as I live near work and I have a electric scooter that covers my city needs.

I still have to contact the owner about engine power and the possibility of getting it inspected before buying.

Would it be a good buy?

Pic semi-related.

I come close to changing the wheels on my fk8 but there's other shit that is taking priority rn. Bein on 20's blows but the OEM rims do look nice when they're clean.

>>28475219
Based twunnies

>>28475219
fk8 fag here
make the switch to 18s man, it's so much nicer having the additional sidewall. cheaper tires, plus the OEM wheels are easier to break if you hit a decently bad hole or something
also go get the extended warranty service on the A/C while you can

>>28467605 (OP)
Tell me about the 2013 accord. Seeing a lot of people complain about starting issues for this year. I am looking to replace my 08 accord that has major rust and body issues, but it served me well. There's a 2013 autotragic LX model for sale nearby with 45500 miles on it for $7k. There must be something wrong with it.
There's also a 2011 crosstour accord available but it looks ugly.

>>28475590
>There's a 2013 autotragic LX model for sale nearby with 45500 miles on it for $7k
That's a really good price for a car that would go for a solid 12-13 grand all day long, I would take a look at it, if it needs some repairs, I would still get it with that low of miles unless it's been wrecked or is in such shit condition that is basically is totaled, the 9th gen Accord is a nice riding car, my uncle had a 2014 LX autotragic and it was the best daily ever until some idiot crashed into his quarter panel and rear and totaled it.

>>28475637
You may have come across someone who doesn't know what they have, if it needs a little work like maintenance that is neglected, it's still worth all of $7000, a 20+ year old Honda Accord from 2003 can be worth almost 6 grand in good condition with almost 200K miles on it, so you're sitting pretty if you can get into a 45,000 mile 2013 car for 7 grand and whatever maintenance is needed

>>28475609
Thanks anon. Car has a spot or two of paint chipping in the photos, but otherwise looks good. I have the VIN and will see if I can find someone to look it up to make sure there were no accidents. I'm gonna give the seller a call and take a look around.

>>28475647
>Car has a spot or two of paint chipping in the photos
Is is on the rear bumper cover? those 9th gen Accord for some reason love to flake off paint from the rear, I don't know why they do it.

>>28475648
Yep, all of them are on the back bumper cover. No other rust spots seen anywhere else.

>>28472937
Where is this? I'll go buy this now and tow it. People today hate old shit. I miss old Hondas. I'll buy this for $500. I'll even give him a little extra to hold it.

Have a picture of pure Sexo on wheels. I want one of these so bad.

>>28475696
Oh yeah, very very common on the 9th gen rear bumper, it's almost a feature lol, and if it's not rusting out on the quarters it's the nicest $7000 car money can buy if it can be driven.

>>28475702
Thanks again. Will be inquiring this week just to make sure there's no hidden electrical gremlins or repairs I can't see in the photos.

>>28475725
That's based Anon, on my uncle's 2014 he got a dead door lock actuator from 50,000 miles used, to 149,000 miles, it was that good of a car electrically.

>>28475438
yea they had to change my condenser and a/c shaft seal in march I think lmao? I had bitched a year ago at a different dealer and they blew me off and just recharged it but...if it needs a recharge, there's a leak.
w/e, it's fixed now. I also have 2 more years of hondacare so anything else is covered.
>pic: enkei ty5
i like these. probably what i would get but who knows.

>>28475750
I don't know how to tell my current accord that I'll be replacing it. It may get angrier at me. Think I'll put a trailer hitch on it and use it as a work horse until it dies 20 years from now. It has 119680 miles on it. Steering column is rusting, wheel wells are rusting. Pic related is the 08. It's this bad across the entire rocker panel. Engine is perfect. Woe is living in the rust belt.

>>28475809
Ouch Anon, that's a god damn shame all that salty crap they dump on the roads, definitely time to get another decent car.

>>28475766
i ended up getting motegi traklite 3s in bronze cuz im cheap and they're good enough
got the same service done on my car, cost me $0, feelsgoodman
also got the fuel pump recall service done

>>28475845
>fuel pump
fucking a. I didn't know about this one. going to look it up by the VIN and see if mine was affected under that one.

>>28475845
Good wheels, got a set I use for the fall/winter that I plan on replacing with 17x7.5 Sparco Terra SEs

>>28475845
just looked these up...they are surprisingly affordable, damn.

What’s the highest RPM you could realistically achieve on the B, K, or F series? I know Spoon got their ek9 to 11K

>>28477094
Probably 11,000 RPM Anon, it all depends on the springs, the way the cylinder head is flowing, strong rods, pistons to deal with that, a pedestrian K series will ran at 6500 rpm all day but I wouldn't take an engine like that beyond 7 grand shift points that the higher performance VTEC Acura ones do, it also just wouldn't gain anything because the engine is made to work at lower RPMs, so messing with the ECU to raise the rev limiter is not a good idea if you have a stock car made to save fuel and pass emissions testing.

>>28477094
Upgraded springs and retainers + forged internals.

I’ll be honest I haven’t researched much yet, but as someone who has done brakes and a starter replacement on a ‘08 accord, how hard is it to fix the AC on a 2003 Civic? There a girl I’m trying to impress and was going to offer to fix it for her

>>28477433
>starter replacement on a ‘08 accord
That's pretty hard core if it's K series with that stupid manifold, vacuuming out and recharging the system is harder than the install, you're just mounting it on the accessory and bolting on the A/C lines mainly.

>>28477433
ez-pz

The heat over the past week or so has been killing my MPGs, barely getting over 30 at the moment. Guess it's due to the fuel being far hotter than usual?

>>28477969
Your engine is probably getting heat soaked and not making as much power because engines like cold dense air to make more power, so in response you press on the gas for more air, which the engine adds more fuel to make it do what you want and gets worse mpgs.

Also using A/C makes the economy worse, and the heatsoak worse because not only is the compressor a load on the engine, but you're dumping heat in front of the engine.

>>28478030
And it's a 1.5T 10th gen so heat soak is a given. I do have hood vents to try and get some of that heat out but it's been averaging 95+ degrees F

>>28478068
>95+ degrees F
Oh yeah she's heatsoakin all to hell, my fuckin CM on a steep uphill with A/C on can can the temp gauge to start moving, even in the the manual it says this will happen and you need to turn the A/C off because 90+ degree weather is so extreme.

how much would you pay for crx? do you run away if you see any fender rust?

>>28479136
Kek I like how he has Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors listed when you can mount those on a CM Accord no problem and typically with ceramic pads rotor heat isn't a problem.

>>28479175
A CRX is something I would pay the BAT tax for.

>>28478655
Someone explain this EM2 CMC upgrade

>>28479234
Probably means clutch master cylinder

>>28477788
>with that stupid manifold
It isn't too bad
Only the bottom plenum bracket bolts are annoying if you go from the top
I never even removed the throttle body, just popped off some hoses

>>28479234
I just did it on my xar
Don't have a photo, but the stock master cylinders have a big triangular metal bit attached with a fluid delay valve so the slave cylinder doesn't react instantly.
It kind of adds some fluid resistance in case you drop your clutch too fast without matching revs so it doesn't get hot spots and stuff from slapping together.
It makes the car way harder to drive when taking off over uneven roads, but when you open up it feels super nice.
With the stock delay valve when hitting higher rpms and shifting quickly it would feel like you were pulling the transmission out of gear and pushing it into the next gear before the clutch was fully decoupled due to the delay effect. That probably isn't good for the synchros and rest of the tranny but I'm talking out of my bum

>>28479336
Interesting. I should do this for my mr2. Does Honda put these in both master and slave? Found a few vids of them doing it on slave cylinders as well.

>>28479397
Yeah pretty sure the slave has some sort of valve in it too, they were different part numbers at least
If you try a master/slave with no delay valve/damper don't install it at the same time as a new clutch/flywheel
Do it a month or two before because it takes some getting used to and it is better that it happens on the outgoing unit lol.

$6k for a crx non si? yes or no?

>>28480015
You have to post the car that's not enough info

>>28480057
too many lurkers here

>>28477788
It was the J series, it was honestly really easy. So that's why I'm wondering if I'm in over my head trying to diagnose a faulty AC. What are some ways I should go about testing it??

>>28480015
Lol no you can get a clean E39 530i or E92 335i for that price

>>28480333
Check for blown A/C compressor relay, that is very cheap and can make an otherwise perfect A/C system not click the compressor on, then you move onto hooking up a set of A/C pressure gauges to see how much is in there, and if there's nothing in there, than there's a good chance the compressor leaked it out and the system should have UV dye to put in to see where it's leaking when you shine a light on it.

>>28484737
I never drove that gen but the new gen ones are pretty comfy

>>28484740
I've looked at the newer gens but I heard the 6-speed transmission had alot of issues. I also heard the 9 speed ones fixed those, but they also use this weird button setup to shift. I dont like the idea of it because I like moving the gear shifter.

>>28483977
They put 0 effort in the NATCC liveries

>>28485136
Not surprising, Super Tourers were essentially DOA in the US. Cars were expensive and no manufacturer besides Chrysler was willing to spend near-F1 levels of resources for what was essentially a support series to CART

Really don't get that. You aren't shifting, why do you need a shifter?

>>28485843
he likes playing with other peoples sticks :^)

Yes.

Oh yes.

I've got a 2000 EJ8 with a no spark issue. plugs are good, fuses are good, i've replaced the ignition module and coil with new ones, as well. the PGM-FI relay is clicking in the glove box hole and the fuel pump energizes. it has 12V at the wire that feeds the ignition coil.
the strange thing is that it's not a 100% of the time, no spark. rarely it will actually work. last time it started, i pulled it into the garage to do a compression test on it (200psi across the board) as I thought it was an engine issue. after putting the plugs back in and reconnecting the fuel injectors it had no spark and wouldnt start.
any ideas on what could be wrong?

Finally got the ecu jailbroken. The Type S pops and bangs are funny. Kinda wanna cut out all my mufflers and be over obnoxious lie a BMW owner.

>>28487998

They are but man that 10AT the Acuras have and the Accords used to have fuckin rips, it's a god damn shame you can't get a 1.5T 10AT, but the CVT is ideal for an engine that does its work at 1600 rpm.

>>28492403
Why does it matter?
I think the turn dials would be fine
You aren't shifting shit. Why take up that room for nothing?

For a daily comfy cruiser. Do it. They're "quick" and with the AWD they're fun to launch, but you'll feel every bit of the 4200 lbs.
Semi fun/daily? Spend the money on a Type R/S. Its 1000lbs lighter and makes similar lower.

>>28493181
>but you'll feel every bit of the 4200 lbs
It's a thiccie but looks like so much fun on 255 tires and 355HP, CM Accords are the fattest motherfuckers ever on those 15-17 inch tires and it doesn't stop people from flinging it and having fun even if it is slow and heavy because it also cruises so well when you're not flinging it.

Im >>28484737 I see one a few hours away with 100k mil, but its been at the dealer for 100+ days and has had its price dropped from 16k to 14k, and the dealership has a couple negative reviews on google. Should I still go regardless of all the red flags? I cant find anything like it from private sellers so I have to get one from a dealership and this is the closest one that doesn't have over 200k miles or is out of my price range.

>>28493201
Man that's pretty fucking expensive still... If it's sitting for that long you can low-ball them and they might accept

>300HP 8000 RPM V6 engine on an OEM filter
Feels good man, it makes me laugh when people question the OEM filter for their low rpm shitbox, meanwhile Honda ships it on absurdly powerful cars.

I'd say the j series is my 3rd favorite v6

>>28494393
Good motor, I'd prefer it not have a timing belt, but it does go fast and run forever.

>>28494402
Doing the belt is super easy on them though, timing marks are easy to see

I'd rather have a belt than chain.
Good to have a wear item go at a predictable interval than potential chain stretch and failure when you aren't expecting it.

>>28494720
Chain stretch is a meme, tensioner failure is much more common

>>28493188
True, but the FL5/DE5 makes only 20 less HP, is 1000lbs lighter, and comes with 265s, and will likely be cheaper. Its great if you want that awd 10 speed auto experience

>>28488671
Yes. I replaced them thinking they might be the issue. It didn't start before I swapped them, it didn't start afterwards either.

>>28467605 (OP)
How far back does the Civic Hybrid go? Are there decently old ones available for $10k or less without horrible spyware/distraction cybercrap?

>>28495681
I don't know much about hybrids, but if you're looking for a mechanical car the glowies can't control and kill you with, a 2003-2004 4 cylinder Accord is good car, you're getting over 30 mpg on the highway, it's literally just your foot and a cable making the engine go, there isn't even electric steering either, it could never be self driving. like a modern car could with enough software controlling the electronic inputs.

>>28495696
>2003-2004
2003-2005 I mean, the 06 even on the 4 cylinder became a laggy electronic throttle body.

some cunt broke into my del sol (through the rear window that was cracked open for heat ventilation) and stole my amplifier behind the passenger seat. how do i find him and kill him?

didn't cause any damage or take the $300 radar detector or $100 dashcam on the windshield though which is weird. probably some fucking tweaker, but it happened at my work's parking lot

>>28495730
>didn't cause any damage or take the $300 radar detector or $100 dashcam
Honestly Anon you got off pretty easily for having shit stolen, I would just attempt to secure the car better, I know people are shitty, if my car didn't have a carport to protect it from heat and sun, I would keep everything closed and throw a light car cover over it to keep the UV rays from destroying it, a covered car could be any piece of crap not worth the effort, but a cracked open del sol is absolutely worth reaching in and stealing stuff.

What is the Japanese car brand for someone who seeks to give the image of a man who is inferior to women in every way, a man who earns less than his female colleagues, has a female boss, and works in a female-dominated job?

>>28495747
male mercedes drivers fit that description, though it's not a japanese car brand. maybe nissan?

generally simps don't drive japanese cars, and those who do drive japanese cars usually don't give a damn what roasties think

>>28495784
I thought it would be a Mazda (because of the Miata)

And which Nissan (and Mercedes, too) model would give me that inferior image to the women I'm after?

>>28495796
it has to be a sedan. so for nissan, the altima (cheaper). for mercedes, the cla 250 (more expensive). base models too, and dark grey

>>28495811
I'd go for the cheap Nissan Altima.
The cheaper and more basic the car is, the better for me.

A little off topic, but 4chan is dumb and I can't make a thread. I need my brakes done. How do I find out who has the best prices?

>>28495988
Rockauto. 1A auto. JC Whitney. Cross shop Autozone, O'Reilly, and Advance Auto parts. Try checking online for local parts shops.

>>28496016
I don't do my own mechanic shit. I need a full service shop.

>>28496084
oof. time to start looking around where you live for quotes then

>>28496140
There's not like a website to compare? Damn.

>trying to get plywood
>dented the roof with a ratchet strap
Well it it popped out at least.
Why does anything that can tow have to be rusty or expensive or both, so over bros..

hondabros..i might sell my fk8 and get a family SUV. I feel like I need a smoother ride or maybe I'm just being paranoid because my back has been acting up (unrelated to the car, I barely drive atm), but still. those little jars and bumps might add up. idk!

>>28497222
The new Passport looks good anon. I was getting at the stealership getting the EPS recall on the FL5 done and the gf really liked it as well.

Opinions on the 6th Gen Accord (manual)?

I'm a poorfag considering selling my problematic '91 Integra for 3k and buying a '99 Accord, with no issues, for 2k. I've heard the manual version is one of the most reliable cars ever made.

Leaf bros, what would you pay for a bone stock '08 csx type s with 190k km in honestly great condition?

I see you miring my stance.
Just end me. My passenger side ball joint and axle did the same thing only 2 days ago and now this happens to the driver's side. My fault too since I neglected to ask the shop to check the state of the driver's side when the passenger side was fixed. I had the arm, table, axle, and ball joints in the front replaced only last year, going to see if I may still be under warranty. I don't know if I should just bring to a different shop desu if the one that did all that work used junk that only lasted a year.

>>28498435
>My fault too since I neglected to ask the shop to check the state of the driver's side when the passenger side was fixed
It's their job to advise you to replace shit in pairs, it's pretty much guaranteed if you've got suspension bits failing on one side, the other side is gonna fail too pretty soon if you just do the one side.

I bought a 2025 Honda HRV EXL, did I fuck up? Will I have buyer's remorse?

>>28499399
>K20C engine
That's a based as fuck purchase Anon.

>>28499399
Honestly yes, because the CR-V is superior in every way and you could have got a CR-V EX for not much more.

>>28499460
I don't know Anon, CR-V is L15B only and I am skeptical about it, an HR-V is like a crossover edition of the base non turbo Civic, it's peak economy car if you're just trying to daily, If my old ass Accord was bombed into powder right now, I'd have to pick up any new Honda 2.0L, it's just so worth it.

>>28499469
The CR-V has significant more horsepower. The HR-V is more similar to my Honda Fit. Not my Fit isn't Turbo, but I wish it was!

>>28499474
HR-V is kinda in the same class as a Fit being a babby crossover, but it's got a killer engine Anon, it's basically the same K20C that powers the Accord/CR-V hybrid, but without the hybrid, such a huge jump over the 1.5L Fit motor and 1.8L they had previously, that new base civic sport with the 18 inch wheels and 158HP temps me everytime I go into the dealer for oil because it's just so juicy.

>>28499483
The HR-V is heavier than an Accord/Civic, so it wouldn't feel that good. Have you test drove it?

The Honda Fit is 128HP, but lighter so that's why I think it is close. Plus they discontinued the Fit to sell more HR-V's. Similar rear fold down seat room.

>>28499509
The K20Z in the newest HR-V has 31 ft lbs more than a Fit engine, it's more than adequate for daily driver duties, not that's it's fast or sporty like a little Fit, but it will push itself down the road just fine and in a reliable fashion, HR-V owners just wanna throw shit in the back hatch and move people around, and you are right, we're at a point where the HR-V is more efficient than an old L15 Fit, that's what kinda did the car in, you no longer needed a smol car to save fuel because even the Accord gets killer economy and it's a huge car.

>>28475590
>>28475750
Unfortunately car was too risky. Seller was an older man. Car was involved in a collision when his grandson was driving the car, it was rear-ended. He never got it looked at and he just replaced the back bumper, which was cracked. Who knows what kind of potential structure damage was done to it, which is why it was priced so low. I'm going to look around for another car again.

>>28499543
Good deal Anon, there's tons of them out there, which is nice because you don't have to deal with bullshit like rare/classic Hondas.

>>28497591
whats wrong with the integra? I've been searching for one.
that era accord is sexy btw.

I'm trying to decide between a 2011 and 2015 accord. Which sounds better? The 2011 is $10k CAD, EX-L model, and has 160000km on it. The 2015 is $14k CAD, touring model, and has 140000km on it.
Would have gone for a used civic, but all the ones for sale around here have over 200000km on them already.

>>28501768
If you can afford a 2015, get a 2015, they ride so much nicer than an old 2011 Accord with an older style double wishbone suspension, also the 2013-2017 Accord was the first to ditch hydraulic steering, which can be a nightmare on something like a 2011 Accord should the steering rack and or pump start leaking, However if you are looking for a classical Honda feel with the fantastic steering feedback feel, an old double wishbone Accord from 2011 is a beautiful car.

>>28501777
Did honda fix the axle and brake issues in the 2013-2017 models? I am this >>28498435 anon. My accord is a 2009. If those issues are gone in the 2015, I'll buy it. The 2011 is also the same gen as the 09 I think, so seems like I may be in for the same issues I am having with the 09, which I don't want.

is this eg riced out or nah?

>>28501817
>Did honda fix the axle and brake issues
What axle and brake issues Anon? I have a crappy 2004 built in a similar fashion and it's on original axles.

>>28501823
I bought my 09 used in 2018 at 140000 km on it. Despite driving only to and from work like a normal person, I have had to have all around brakes done nearly every 2 years, ball joints done last year due to noises, rear calipers die, and now both ball joints and axles decided to die within days of each other. Those issues. Did I just have bad luck?

>>28501832
Honestly Anon, hard use can beat up brakes, my Accord can't even get years out of brake pads because I'm so stop and go, and when it comes to stuff like axles and suspension bits wearing out, a lot of it could've been hard use by the previous owner, but age is also a factor, things just kinda fall apart after enough time is passed, my Accord has the equivalent of 283,263 kilometers in 21 years which is actually pretty low for the age, but it's had to have all the mounts done, suspension arms re-bushed, shit like oil and power steering leaked and cost money, it just was part of having an old car, I actually think your 2009 hasn't been all that needy for being a used car bought 7 years ago with miles on it. axles and breaks and ball joints are wear items, and all cars have them, you cannot escape it, you can only fix it and send the car down the road, hopefully before the ball joint fails.

>>28501844
I can see hard use on all cars here, I live in an area renowned for its potholes. Considering the age and kilometers on the 2011, it only accumulated 11,661 km per year, so I looks solid right now. You're right, its part of buying an older car. I'm going to see if my 2009 is worth saving, but ultimately look at the 2011.

>>28501867
Good deal Anon, potholes will beat your car to hell, and it looks like rust is also eating up your 2009 which may cause stuff like this to happen due to the harsh climate accelerating wear on things, if the damage to the fender from the car falling on the ground is gonna bother you like it would me, maybe getting the 2011 would be ideal, and then doing it's oil changes on a 6 month basis at a place like the Honda dealership for $59.95 would prevent a suspension failure, those people may not get the car in and out in 20 minutes like a quik lube place, because you are getting a free multi point inspection, and as much as I don't like to hear that the car needs something like tie rods or some bullshit suspension thing, or brakes, belts, fluids, whatever, it would've been nice to know that the ball joints were in poor condition before they failed and damaged your car.

>>28501873
>if the damage to the fender from the car falling on the ground is gonna bother you like it would me
Kek. It will, especially since my boomer dad decided to try his hand at bodywork and it now looks worse. Thanks for your input anon.

>>28501886
No problem Anon, I'm sorry about all the trouble and the person who did the work on the other side ball joint being too much of a shithead to tell you these things need to replaced in pairs because ball joints are load bearing suspension items and failure can get you killed at high enough speed.

Hello anons, I want to take a cool picture with my Honder fit for a dating profile, can you suggest some poses, IDK if Han leaning on RX7 will work. Suggest something anon kuns, help me get gurls.

>>28501819
He brings shame to the Honda name.

>>28502613
I hate to break it to you bro but pics with shit like cars, fish, hunting, and guns (anything male dominant) typically won't get the reaction you want on a dating profile. I suppose if you are looking for a very specific type of girl, then maybe it could work. Usually a girl will swipe left on a fish faster than anything
I do portrait and couples photography so all I can suggest is hire a local one and get them to do some good poses for you in a setting that has good lighting and is aesthetic, (sunset etc.) Having one or two really good photos as your first impression are essential. Clean up your hair/beard and wear nice clothes for the shoot. As much as I love Hondas, a Fit isn't going to get you bitches.
Try and get some photos of you doing another hobby that isn't one of the ones I mentioned. A picture with a group of friends is good to have too because it shows sociability, you know, assuming you aren't a total shut-in.
Pic rel is a photo of a friend on the beach that I would classify as aesthetic enough for a dating profile. If you don't want to do all that, the reality is all you really need is a few candid photos that can even be done with your friend's phone. Something with you smiling/laughing/being a goof is always a winner. Hope this helps anon! I wish you luck on your hunt for poon, as I'm doing the same

>>28495670
Crank position sensor, maybe.

wish he kept the jaccs livery 2bh

>>28502790
Thanks anon, I have the first one that's candid, laughing, the rest are what I need to improve.

>>28501768
TLDR 8th gen is better for 4cyl, 9th for V6.
8th V6 is plagued with reliability issues (early V6 VCM with improper rear oil rings from the factory = misfiring oil drinker) and 9th gen 4cyl is just not fun to drive (early CVT and EPS, everything is numb), and doesnt share any major parts with the older K-series mills.
Can't tell you car which is which because they're both top trim models, they could conceivably have either engine.
>$ CAD
pick whichever one has the least rust

>>28497591
Based car, classic 90s reliability and simplicity. Avoids the automatic transmission plague of that gen.

>>28495700
>laggy electronic throttle body.
Is it really that bad? I was considering swapping e-throttle onto my tooned '04 auto coupe so I could program in rev matching and throttle cut during shifts. I got a TSX ETB for cheap a long-ass time ago

>>28503458
I've never driven a facelifted CM cylinder but it's always gonna have an immense amount of lag, even car guy cars like the civic Si have massive rev hang, meanwhile a shitbox automatic CM has the most amazing throttle response you've ever seen in your life on a stock untuned car.

>>28503528
The CM had less stringent emissions standards to meet. Rev hang is a modern countermeasure against nox spikes.

>>28503531
What a god damn shame, further reason to hang onto those old ass early model 2003-2005 c4l CMs.

>>28503535
>c4l

>>28503399
Good start anon! Like I said even a pic with your best friend on a night out wearing some decent clothes is a green flag for women. Shows you're sociable and enjoyable to be around. Pics with animals get a good reaction too, my golden retriever is essentially my wing man

Any of you fags ever painted a car? I have a stock 1997 del sol. I want to paint it a bright color for safety and I’ve decided that yellow looks like shit. Was thinking maybe lime green or cyan. It’s currently Milano pink

As long as you don't have early wrinkly skin or stress marks you should be fine. I'm on hard mode im fuckin balding. But I gave up and buzzed my head

>>28504686
No, that's all she wrote for the CTR, Honda already said so. A few weeks after they announced the CTR is no more in Europe they did the same thing in Japan and the cancelation went from just European to global.

>>28503458
>pick whichever one has the least rust
I would but they both already sold. I don't know what the heck is going on here, but hondas are selling like hotcakes. An ad is up for barely a day before they sell. I may have to resort to a civic 'cause they're not selling as fast, which is OK, but I like the accords.

>>28505640
The only sites claiming it's being axed globally are unsourced bullshit. It's just rumors at the moment.

>>28507165
Just try not to think about it anon, I'm in the same boat, I could potentially be hit in the head by an SUV in a side crash because my car existed before side airbags were mandated in 2005, but I have to still get where I'm going.

>>28507173
I just don't drive my old Honda anymore. It's literally irreplaceable at this point, and I don't want to die.

weeeee

>>28507165
this is a reason why I'm trading in my fk8...I have most of my back fused as it is and still have some problems (scoliosis gang :( ) and the thought of a retard hitting me in his F150 and making things permanently worse just sucks. i've been having some nagging issues and hopefully temporary but it made me think it's time to change it up.
feels bad. FK8 to an RX350...

Unsure what you expected, honda hasnt made a genuinely cool car for over 20 years
Even if they really wanted to regulations would just hold them back if they wanted it priced anywhere near what your average person could afford

>>28511905
>honda hasnt made a genuinely cool car for over 20 years
I don't know Anon, I'm old school K series and double A arm suspension all day but those base Civic sports with 18 inch rims at the dealer are fucking hot, a car like that would've been the coolest thing ever in the 2000s and you can get em brand new for such a reasonable price.

im a retard and i just need a decent commuter; the Civic Sport looks nice, is the Touring version worth the extra couple thousand?

>>28512065
If you're looking for a basic commuter, the base civic sport is almost overkill, it's more than enough to be comfortable with the regular 8 speaker audio system and carplay, the TOURING would get you an amplified audio system and a slightly larger infotainment, but it's not necessary to have leather seats from a TOURING in your everyday car, if anything I prefer cloth seats on the daily.

>>28514064

>>28514069

What?

>>28514166
Car looks glorious, Anon, I need to rub some sort of protectant or dressing on my rocker moldings to make them look as good and black as yours.

>>28514180
Economical cars were typically rolling on 15 inch wheels in the 2000s Anon, which means if you had 17 inch wheels or better, a screen in the dash, you were a cool kid, and it's so cool how decked out a civic is from the factory these days.

>>28514242
They sell some real good stuff out there that permanant. This car only has 41k on the clock which is why it looks so nice.

>>28514320
I have some mothers plastic restore in my trunk that's worked wonders at returning white faded looking glovebox from ebay to black, like new condition so I I'll try that, but keep doing what you're doing with the nice looking CM Anon, people are actually fond of them and will only become more fond of them as they leave people's lives, I had my fucked up looking CM displayed at cars and coffee, and I met a guy about my age who had the same DX trim silver with black seats in college, drove it cross country and said it was the best car ever, which I love because the stories are what classic cars are all about.

>Own accord v6 CG2 '00
>136k miles, owned for 17 years

>Good news, now there's no 2nd gear at all
>Pay up for a replacement module from a vetted vendor
>Install it
>Back to original issue
Welp, it's not the solenoid module. Time to take it to the local shop and see what the estimate is for a rebuild. The most I could get for it if I sold it, even without the shift issue, is about $1500, so it's not worth selling imo. I'd rather spend the money on getting it right than have an extra $1500 and no car.

>>28514327
I would try and fix it if the rest of the car is in really good shape and caught up on maintenence, because even going to the next generation CM Accord V6 would cost more than $1500, and then it would have all of it's old car needs.

>>28514333
That's the logic. Everything else works great, I've kept it maintained. The body is fucked from 10 years of street parking, but that's it. The sunroof doesn't even leak. I have pack-bonded with this car and it makes a nice noise, so for better or worse I'm keeping it until it's taken away from me, even if it hurts sometimes.

>>28514347
>The body is fucked from 10 years of street parking, but that's it
Based well maintained shitbox,definitely a car worth keeping and putting a reman transmisison in and exchanging the core or doing a rebuild, cause that J30 engine is based, barely lived life at 136,000 miles, similar engine have done 1,015,000 miles.

In Japan you could get the auto with B16A/B18Cs.

they're great but finding clean ones that are also affordable is getting more rare and rare. You'd get 95% of the experience in an ND miata or a GR86.
That said, find one that hasn't been wrecked ever for <= $20k, and not a crazy amount of miles (or it has good compression) why not? They're great to drive.
