Every day I look at this and smile

Attention gentlemen:

We did it.
Mission Accomplished.

>>28524506
Looks good anon, an old K24 Honda with a double DIN unit is probably the greatest daily ever.

>>28524511
Appreciate it.
I'm wanting to build the engine out to ~350hp, but that'll probably be a while down the road.

>>28524515
I would just reliability max it by changing engine oil and the intake filter often, well maintained K24 is a torquey boi for zipping around town with, that's its strength, newer CR-Vs than your are dropping like flies due to head gasket but the based CR-V K24 will be running

>>28524522
I got it at 100k miles and I change the oil @ 5k max and check the air filter every time.
I'm still researching if I need to swap the head for an A2 and what that would entail.
From what I've seen, a gt2871r is a safe upgrade that won't push the engine too hard, especially with an electric wastegate.

>>28524530
If this is your daily driver, leave it alone. If it's not, get a more interesting project car.

>>28524536
>get a more interesting project car.
I've been playing with this idea.
>rsx harder to find and people want 10k+ for one that isn't beat to hell
>hatchback EKs are harder to find and have the same price problem
>normal EKs are all destroyed
>FAs are still 10k+ with a shitload of miles and don't carry the same aesthetic
It's getting harder to find good project cars

>>28524541
Well don't make one less reliable low mileage CR-V Anon, cause at one time the idea was "well I can't afford a muscle car so I'll just modify this very common Honda Civic, Nissan 240SX" you name the endangered collectable shitbox, they did it, and now they're gone, I think going forward car enthusiasts need to be preserving their shit and enjoying it as it is, so that we don't have an RSX situation where they were basically all destroyed.

>>28524549
I get your point, but me rebuilding engines and fixing paint isn't exactly the same as some 19 year old ketamine dealer slapping a wing on the back of his civic and using a dildo as a shifter.
I'm going for the OEM+ look, not so much the fart can chicano look.

So theoretically could I swap my K20A6 for an A2 whilst not bothering to change my H5 auto? Alternatively could I turbocharge my A6 without completely replacing the internals?

Short of coming to my senses and putting my time and money into a better base than the A6, is there anything fun I could do?

>>28524595
Why wouldn't you just swap the A6 head for an A2 head and leave the block alone?

>>28524604
I have thought about this - is it really as simple as just a head swap?

>>28524608
You'll need the ECU as well.

>>28524608
The K series engines have parts compatibility for the most part. It's very common to see head swaps between 20s, and there's even quite a bit of K20A2 heads slapped on K24 blocks with some small welding and machining.
I can't do the research for you, but there's not a lot of searching to find people who've done exactly that.
These are high compression engines though and you'll need to at least swap to dished pistons if you're going to turbo. Not doing so can create a compression problem and detonation will eventually fuck your head.

>>28524614
>>28524620
Thanks lads. Shall do some more research and investigating. Will also post updates if and when things happen, naturally.

Stock A6 pistons will hit the head.

/hg/bros which generation of v6 accord would you go for if you needed a daily? looking to replace my shitbox

>>28524954
The newest ones 2013-2017 were probably the best ones, but even if all you can afford is a 2003-2007 Accord V6, it's a badass car.

I absolutely can't decide, bros, please help

It's your money Anon, just having a TLX at all is dope, the most luxurious cars in /hg/ are TLXs

>>28524481
Ah fuck I realize I forgot to censor the plate. Oh well

>>28525015
White is more striking. No interest in any of the colour options? This new trend of gloss grey is gay and that shit should be kept on Bimmers and SUVs.

>>28525211
I do like the other colors but can't find anything in stock anywhere. White was already one of my top choices, but these 2 colors seem to be the only ones anyone ever has. Don't really want to do black because I live in south Florida and it will get hot as fuck

>>28524954

>>28524365 (OP)
how common are AC problems in 11th civics? i was thinking about getting a 2019 civic, but seems that their AC fucks up a lot, so now i'm thinking about spending some more for a 2021 one.

>>28526012
I don't understand, what would make it a trve Prelude? 4 wheel steering?

>>28526509
very. they have extended the warranty for the condenser and the ac compressor shaft seal to 10 years, though.

>>28526542
Typically the mark of a Prelude is sporty, well equipped coupe on it's own platform with a power sunroof, the new Prelude is very similar to a Civic, and I'm okay with that because the Civic is a big boi car now, but that used to be the draw to a Prelude, it wasn't an Accord, it wasn't a civic, it was it's own thing.

>>28526556
Fair, I just recently heard it's exactly the same powertrain as the Civic, and not much lighter. It'll be a hard sell to me unless it's priced like the SI (between the Sport and Sport Touring).

>>28526619
Yeah I think Honda is trying to fill the void where the Civic coupe was, Integras have always been Civic hatches, the Prelude is a 2 door midsized car, the Civic is now a midsize car, so Honda went with the name, I think it's gonna be a nice car, a 3400 lb Accord hybrid zips around nicely with its fatass on that 204HP hybrid, if they made like a 2800-2900 pound car, it would really be a lot of fun.

>>28526556
After the first generation, Honda prided itself on how low it could make the belt line of the Prelude.
Nissan tried to compete with the Silvia, but Honda went a step too far for them with the third generation and Nissan weren't willing to spend the money necessary to develop a bespoke front subframe for the S13, so the car remained FR instead of going to FF as planned.
Now though, that part of its identity has been abandoned.

>EK Civic suddenly went from burning 1L of oil every 10k Km to 1L every 1000Km
I don't like the look of this

>>28527013
See what's good with the PCV valve, if that stupid thing is stuck open, your engine will breathe in all the PCV gases even at low rpm when it shouldn't be, that thing is supposed to let that extreme blast of oily air into the intake when a bunch of blowby is happening from you going WOT or running at a high rpm.

>>28527017
I thought about the PCV valve already, but what's throwing me off is that I have none of the other symptoms it usually shows, just the oil visibly draining from the pan on each trip. It's still a relatively simple job though, so I might spend a couple hours checking it out.

>>28527021
>just the oil visibly draining from the pan on each trip
You mean like externally leaking from the car? or just the dipstick? Because I have a car that might go through half a quart of oil in an entire month of severe abuse, that at one point where get half a quart low in a week due to the PCV being old, once I replaced it we were back to our regular self.

It's worth a shot on such an old car, my car was 19 years old when the PCV gave out and just decided to stay open, I would prefer them get stuck closed and make the car not run, because people can be fooled into thinking their engines blown, when in reality some stupid emissions device has failed and that's actually the problem, I've even made PCV valve a maintenence item on my car every couple years because of how badly Hondas consume oil when the PCV valve gives up.

>>28527023
>You mean like externally leaking from the car?
No, the floor under where the car sits overnight is always squeaky clean. I mean that I check where the oil is at weekly (around every 200Km give or take) and I can see the oil on the stick drop each time now, so it's definitely burning it. In any case that's a good shout, and the valve is so cheap anyway that I might just give it a go and see what it does.

>>28527032
>the floor under where the car sits overnight is always squeaky clean
That's good Anon, you might be pleasantly surprised how reduced the oil consumption is with a new inexpensive PCV valve, because Hondas are designed from the factory to use some oil when crankcase pressure is high, not that it's a good thing, but that blowby under extreme conditions has to go somewhere, and it would be the end of the world to vent it to atmosphere due to emissions regulations, you can't have it go nowhere because the pressure would blast out of the seals, so Honda just re-routes a little rubber hose back into the intake manifold so the car can breathe it's own oily farts occasionally, that's why when you take the intake manifold off your car, it's all black and oily, it's just the nature of the beast, but when things go wrong with the PCV, you're combining not only the crankcase and intake being connected, but when the PCV valve is open at low rpm, that's when you have the most vacuum and it sucks oily air into the engine just as fast, if not faster than if you had your foot slammed on the gas, that's why obscene amounts of oil "go missing" when you were just cruising around.

can you buy tires from discount tires online and pull up in a truck with the wheels in the back and tell them to install it and put it back in the truck?

>>28527150
I think Tire Rack has that type of service where tires can be delivered to a shop near you and installed, I just order tires from amazon, throw them in my trunk or car and have the dealer or some shop mount em and align the car.

>>28527150
Yeah. The Mexican tire shops are usually cheap for this.
I always bring my wheels and new tires in a different car because i won't let them in my car.

>>28527205
Oh shit I thought he meant just bringing tires in and having em put on, yeah no shop should have a problem just doing a mount and balance on some wheels kek, theyprobably prefer not having to mess with your car.

how fast is the brz/gr86 when compared to 90s hondas? faster than a gsr?

anyone install any aftermarket rear view mirrors in their civic 01-5 ? I'm halfway done with a raspberry pi interior but I want to know if theres any other gismos I can throw on this thing before it becomes a hassle to dig it out. I'm looking into dash cam options and the like.

>>28525014
>>28525015
white stays cooler in the summer

>>28527032
this might not be your problem and im just an idiot but check your oil rating. I started putting 0-20 into my civic and it burnded it forgetting it needs 5-20

>>28527205
the ones I go to don't ask to come in. are the faggots where you live too lazy to move a jack or something? the mexicans I am aware of are pretty lazy but theyre not that lazy. they don't even ask me to get out.

>>28528606
Honestly Anon, the furthest I would go are probably a dash cam and or a radar detector, It's super cool riding in my old ass car with a good few miles of radar detection while I'm speeding along and listening to the aftermarket Pioneer radio, probably gonna get a VIOFO dashcam next to record my encounters because so much crazy shit happens while I'm driving.

>>28528646
im more interested in what to get that would fit or the like. but i live in a shithole where people rip off cars all the time so I really need a good security suite. though I have no idea if I'm an idiot thinking im gonna hodl my civic for 600k miles.

>>28528650
If you're in a questionable area, I would just have the dash cam removed and stored in a compartment, even if there's wires dangling like my radar detector when it's in use, it can at least be unplugged and the cord or detector hidden should I park in the hood.

I'm hodling my Accord until one of us dies first, it's not stupid.

>>28528606
I wouldn't do the digital rearview mirror.

>>28528656
This, I once played with an android one when shopping for my radio, and it was cool but it was a little over the top.

is an s2000 worth $20k? how about $40k?

>>28529267
With the amount of S2000s being destroyed by fuckbois, it wouldn't surprise me if an unfucked S2000 becomes a $100,000 car at some point.

>>28529267
They rarely dip bellow 20 now.
>>28529292
It happened a few times already but they had ridiculously low miles. One guy bought a CR on BaT for $200k to flip and lost $30k lol

>>28526553
does the AC actually last for a while after that is fixed or will i be getting it fixed every couple of years then pay out of pocket when the warranty ends? I would really prefer the civic over a corolla for my daily commute but the AC problems do stress me out about making the decision.

how much does a paint job usually cost? i wanna get my ek repainted in oem black one day. planning on keeping this car at least 90% stock.

>>28529647
Even a Maaco paintjob is a grand +. If your car isn't in too bad a shape and you're only spraying outside $2.5-$3k

>>28529845
i could buy another ek with better paint for a bit more

>>28529866
k

>>28529866
Diy it
Roll on some close enough color heavy equipment paint wet sand it give it a few coats of rattlecan clear polish her up and you're good to go

>>28529911
Can only imagine thatll age like absolute shit.

>>28528611
I'm already using 5w40 when this engine normally takes 5w30 (D15Z6), and I could go even further because this country is so warm that even 10w40 is within Honda's spec (regularly have 40C days in summer and winters never drop below 0C). But in any case I doubt it's the oil rating because the engine was fine burning only 1L of oil every 10k Km until a month ago when it started burning oil overnight.

In any case now that you mention it I might as well share pic related from my Civic's manual I still have, with the recommended oil ratings for D series engines relative to ambient temperature, someone might find it useful.

>>28528611
>I started putting 0-20 into my civic and it burnded it forgetting it needs 5-20
0W-20 works perfectly fine in 5W-20 engines Anon, I have the earliest form of a K24 and it runs fine on 0W-20 synthetic, also any 5W-20 synthetic bottle you buy is gonna have 0W-20 in it, it is the correct oil for 20 weight Hondas.

>>28529891

Not really. It'll look shit the moment it's done.

>>28530799
Based Accords in general are class, let alone stretched

I've bought a set of Borbet Y wheels because they look like type R oem, am i going to get laughed at?

>>28530851
They don't even look that much like a type R wannabe Anon, there's nothing wrong with swapping wheels on a car, some cars don't even come with wide enough wheels to get a good summer tire.

Also Y spoke wheels look cool, It would nice if regular Accords and TLXs had them.

>>28530853
My oems need a powder coating and i just wanted something decent and in style for a civic.

>>28530851
Got a set of EP3 wheels with tyres for £250 myself since I wanted something OEM but an upgrade over stock. Surprised you couldn't find any of these local for cheap or anything alike, but no, no one is going to notice. Maybe someone who knows Hondas will raise an eyebrow, but so what?

>>28530996
Based OEM wheels, I'd like a nice set of 17x8 TL wheels myself if I were to do a performance setup

I really want to see if i can fit on the hybrid civic wheels but don't know if they'll clear my front brakes

>>28531012
How big are your rotors? If you've got 282mm Accord rotors like me you can rock shitty little 15 inch wheel like I am right now, if they're 300mm rotors like our Acura TSX I'm not sure.

>>28530996
EP3s didn't get those over here but the canadian CSX Type-S did.

The TLX is discontinued after this year

>>28531018
Yeah they are 300mm for myu tsx
I love aero wheels so much

>>28531045
Very cool.

>>28528303
The 86 only has a top speed of 140mph and a 0-60 of like 7 seconds, anything with a type R badge will smoke it

What do you think about 2009 Honda Accord 2.0L with 150,000 km (~93,200 miles)?
Is it a good car to wrench on? and relatively fun to drive?

>>28532048
Hell yeah anon Accords are super fun to drive, and you won't kill yourself trying to do basic maintenance on it.

>>28532053
Thanks, going to see it tomorrow.

>>28532070
Nice Anon, hope it's in decent enough shape for the money.

>>28531601
Hell even a tuned 1.5T or Si will equal or outperform it. That being said, a manual GR86 can hit 60 in 5.4-5.6sec if you let it rev out in 2nd and not shift to 3rd

>>28531601
bruh I thought it was a /o/ meme, what the fuck

>>28532105
GR86 might be sexy but they're kind of a slow coach, Priuses actually beat it off the line.

>>28530348
>0-20 works!!!
anon my engine burned that oil religiously,
then it stopped entirely when i put the right weight oil back in.

>>28532267
I don't know what's going on if it's a synthetic vs blend thing making it burn or not, which the blending of conventional and synthetic is what makes a true 5W-20 oi from back 20 years ago when the first K blocks hit the street, but any synthetic 20 weight you buy these days, whether it's 5 weight or 0 weight, it's the same oil, if you read the back of the mobil 1 0W20 bottle it says this oil meets the warranty requirements for 5W-20, pennzoil itself straight up doesn't even sell bottles of 5W-20 synthetic anymore, they just put on the bottle "recommended for 5W-20 applications" becsuse they're not gonna bullshit around.

>>28532048
Depends what you're doing. The previous gen is pretty tight in a bunch of spots you'll be in occasionally, not sure if that carries over to your model
The alternator bolts are annoyingly close to ac line bolts, and the room to get to the tensioner is too tight for most normal ratchets on the K engine, not sure if it is the same on the R20, so you might want a serpentine belt removal tool.
Mostly not too bad, just cramped.
Not sure if those gens had the shitty power steering, but that's an annoying job too.

>>28533482
300 hp. Almost no torque steer. It’s great. Excellent suspension

>>28533565
I'm coming from a GR86 looking for something with 4 doors now. I kinda just checked out the Type R to say I tried all my options, and was shocked lol. I did get some torque steer, but I don't think the tires were great, it was a carmax car.

I was so impressed with the adaptive suspension.

>>28530348
seconding >>28532267, 0w20 in a sloppy old K24A4 will vanish in a puff of blue smoke. Or it'll just eat your rod bearings, one or the other.

>>28533681
I have a sloppy toppy old K24A4 Anon, the 0W-20 stays pretty much exactly at the level every month with my extreme use driving, probably because my PCV valve is working correctly (likely lots of K24s driving around with broken PCV letting oil by), there is however an Element with a K24A4 in my living area that puffs blue smoke when I follow him around, but I don't know what's up with his engine or oiling situation.

>>28533690
Early gen K-series are known for piston slap and blowby, they seem to not have the best piston design. Even if PCV works perfectly fine you still lose oil driving hard at high miles.
Yours is fine because it's so low miles. It's probably had very few cold starts compared to most of the shitters on the road. Mine has been beaten to death by years of ignorant woman ownership and burns maybe 1qt per 5k miles, and has the characteristic piston slap.

Someone needs to put together a swap recipe for putting a K24Z in a CM chassis, those are much more durable engines. More TSX DNA.

>>28533694
>Yours is fine because it's so low miles. It's probably had very few cold starts compared to most of the shitters on the road
I wish she was low miles and not cold started thousands of times anon, mine is 176,000 miles of short tripping to the point where I wear out front brake pads in 27,000 miles, high rpms in the mountains, of course if I were to beat on it, the oil level would go down slightly due to the amount of blowby happening at WOT, but putting it around town, the oil level stays pretty still for how much fuel I go through driving so inefficiently.

I want a K swapped NSX, BAD.

>>28533834
Same, I know the S2K and NSX are
Shigeru Uehara's babies, but they need to be K swapped, It would've been nice if Honda made the Nu-NSX a 2.0T engine as well.

>>28533590
Very biased obviously, but nothing new under 50k (60k?) comes close to it when it comes driver inputs, fun to drive, and is also somewhat dailyable. It's definitely slow as shit, but you know that going into it. I live in a more mountainy area in the PNW where it shines, so I love it.

But the daily aspect is hit or miss and it's starting to be a miss for me as an only car; I need more of a catch all so I'm looking at GRC, STI and Type R mostly. I've drove them all recently, they're all good and very different from each other. I think the GRC is probably the most similar to the 86 (go figure), it feels more corolla than GR, but the GR touches really do make it special, the turbo is very boosty and kicks in at low RPM, lots of fun. STI is very weird, it doesn't handle like a big sedan, but it doesn't feel anywhere as nimble as the Type R or GRC, I would say it sits in between the two overall, much nicer interior than the GR and honestly surprisingly close to the Type R. I haven't heard anyone mention it, but the dead pedal in the STI sits much higher than most of the cars I've drove and it's strange, something you get used to but weird. FK8 seats are easily the best stock seats I've been in, car drives like awd car in a good way, dampers are amazing,etc. you know.

>asks about gr86
>talks about other cars
yeah

I bumped my bumper into a big truck (f250 or something) tire. It's not broken, fog light works but just looks scraped. Also I've got other damage and scaped plastic. I feel like this entire part will need to be replaced for tons of money. Is it worth it or should I just live with it?
Red is where damage or scratches are
Purple is probably what'll end up having to be replaced for a full repair. This is like 5k after labor and paint-matching right?

Complete engine failure on my Honda accord yesterday :(

>>28534396
>This is like 5k after labor and paint-matching right?
You'll probably spend $700-800 total getting an aftermarket primered upper and lower bumper cover from Amazon and then having it professionally painted at a nice body shop and then installed, thankfully Hondas aren't crazy expensive when you bust em up, I smashed my bumper cover too Anon.

>>28534402
that really fucking sucks, man. what're you going to do? aren't those 2.0L K-series? how did that happen?

>>28534427
Other than having a ton of mileage Totally random every engine light came on at once & then white smoke came out the hood. coolant was leaking like all fuck auto shop can’t explain it to me. best move is to donate for 700(CAD) and buy something new

Is a 10th gen 1.8L Honda civic gonna feel sluggish after dailying a 2.4L 2004 accord?
I dunno if I can justify getting the 1.5L turbo since I mostly make frequent short trips.

>>28535111
Yea it'll feel a bit slower. Is the n/a 2 liter not available?

>>28535124
Not in my country. It's just the 1.8 and the 1.5 turbo.

Does anyone think that Honda is going to refresh the CR-V early cause of Toyota redesigning the 2026 RAV4? Kind of pathetic a Kia Sportage has a more modern interior than a Honda.

>>28535126
Oof, I'd go for the 1.8 then. The 1.5T is good but it very much does not like short trips, oil gets diluted that way. I daily a 1.5T hatch (this one >>28524481) and it's been very reliable so far but it needs to have the maintenance done on schedule

>>28535337
Should consider a 2L Impreza hatch back? They're a little cheaper (though maintenance will be higher) and likely have similar speed.

>>28535355
Subaru fuel economy is genuinely awful. V8 tier.

>>28535355
I'd get the 2.0L Civic sport

>>28535355
Short answer: no
Long answer: nooooooooooo. Nonturbo Subarus are slow and get awful fuel economy, and the only one that gets the good differentials/AWD system is the STi (R180 rear diff, computer controlled center diff, limited slips front and rear)

>>28535367
What about the 2L corolla?

There needs to be more crx posting

>>28535424
Would be fine, the CVT isn't horrible

Honda Accord or Acura? Daily driving, I do roughly 90 miles per day between work and home, as well as obviously going to the gym and other shit like restaurants, etc.

>>28536162
Yeah an Accord will do, it's pretty much the most comfortable car for the money and efficiency

>>28536162
>90 miles per day
Accord.

>>28536162
A v6 6mt accord is sweet. Otherwise I'd go for an acura equivalent accord. Needing premium sucks, but it is slightly comfier if you're in it a lot.

>>28536272
Accord hybrid is probably gonna do it for him for long distances, I've never been so comfortable in my life when I was in an Accord 2.0L hybrid,it's not sporty in the slightest, but my god is it king of daily drivers at being big and fuel efficient.

>>28536278
You're probably right. I'm living well in the past.

>>28536284
You're not wrong Anon, I have an old Accord with double bones too because of the sportiness of the old car, it's the ultimate daily for us for something fun that's also cruisy, but these new Accords are the ultimate cruisers, you feel nothing when you're in it, where the old ones you feel everything through the car going down the road.

Did the Civic take the sporty crown from the Accord

>>28536304
It kinda does, it's the perfect midsize car, the base model has 18 inch wheels, it's a badass car for $27,000, I'd rather have a Civic over a Miata or BRZ because it's so usable and I can slap some sporty tires on it and touge.

>>28536254
>>28536255
>>28536272
Much obliged. Going to be my next one.

>>28536404
They're good dailies almost regardless of which flavor you choose. Hard to go wrong

how fucked is are the ACs of 10th gen civic?
looking for a daily driver, and everything I see about the civic is the ac issues. Trying to decide between that and a 9th gen accord which seem to be a bit more expensive

what's the finest and fin tuned in the best way jap car, when it comes to sport coupe or whatever it is

>>28537551
Honda doesn't really do coupes these days, but the new Prelude is coming out and that will be a sporty Civic based coupe, so watch out for that.

>>28537552
sounds good

>>28537539

>>28538263

I always thought these were cool even with all the hate they get, congrats anon. I would also get the NSX style wheels but that just my personal preference

>>28533352
Monkey paw moment:
it has their 1.5 turbo and a cvt

>>28538469
Not very different to the reality of a 1.3 or 1.5 (N/A) and a CVT.

>>28538469
So 178/180 crank hp and a transmission capable of handling 240whp in a car under 2500lbs? Sounds great to me.

8th or 9th gen civic si boys?
Both are coupes, the 2013 has 170k miles, the 2007 has 200k miles.
Both are bone stock, the 8th gen is $2,500 cheaper.

Want a fun car for a nasty 1 hour commute with just under half of the drive being through a mountain pass with some sick twistiez.

>>28538469
Good god imagine that insta torque in a little ass Fit, a 1.5T engine in a CM would be the best daily, but the Fit drivers in my local canyons drive stupid fast with what little horsepower the L15A has.

>>28538483
I've never owned a Civic, but K24 engines have big balls torque, my heavy assAccord scoots up big hills no problem because the engine has a big piston stroke at the expense of RPM, but it does more work at any given rpm.

Think am going to do it bros. The styling is just too beautiful.

>>28538482
>>28538861
>needs new head gasket after 70k miles

>>28539120
Get it Anon, it's basically the Civic Si hatch that doesn't exist on the Honda side.

>>28539128
That's the main scare of 1.5T that's kept me in my slow ass old car for so long, fuckin CM Accords literally run without major repairs until they were teenagers, and many are still running with no internal work done, yet 1.5Ts are blowing up with payments on them, it's ridiculous.

Finally finished my 05 civic coupe manual swap. Worth every penny :)
Only problem is I didn't change the output flange seals on the tranny, and the donor sat outside for a long time, so now I have a small leak. And the shifer bushings are very loose so getting into first is hard. and for some reason the rpm fluctuates in 2nd gear at 2-3k rpm it's unpleasant to drive... idk what the issue is.

>>28539128
Mine's just crossed over 69k with most of that mileage spent tuned. If the head gasket was going to blow it'd have done it already

I think im adding a S2k next year. Not 100% but im gonna try and find one, preferably Suzuka Blue that's not beat to shit, but id also take a white with red interior. I just feel like the time to get one will never be better than it already is. All the nice ones will continue to go up in price like the NSX did, and I really want one to hold onto.

>>28538265
Those pipes look like the Monkey Mobile.

>>28539844
The S2k would be an ideal car for me if it had a fixed roof. It's such a pretty looking thing.
Good look on your search anon. You're right that they'll keep rising.

i'd feel guilty chopping up a perfectly good 5 speed eg chassis for a k swap. would it be proper to use an automatic chassis instead?

>>28539844
wheres the rest of your driveway?

>>28540444

Aggressive oil changes every 4 months no matter the mileage should keep it happy, the problen with a lot of Honda owners is they'll be beating the shit out of the oil with severe use and think they're gonna go 10,000 miles on city driving.

How much can you sell an autotragic nsx powertrain for?

>>28540639
about tree fiddy

>>28540639
about 20% below ebay prices

How do you lads feel about the near-death of the manual transmission? I'm sad to see it go, but it seems objectively obsolete now.

>>28541779
I don't mind it, apart from being able to clutch drop it and bring the car to life without a starter motor, I prefer an automatic transmission for daily driving and spirited driving, even an old torque converted Honda Accord will shift faster than a human and do perfect rev matches when you punch it, and will always be in the correct gear for efficient cruising when you wanna cruise.

HNNNNG

>>28541828
never saw a body kit like that on a dodge stratus
very nice

>>28541779
I'm conflicted, really.
I feel like there's too much traffic now for a manual to make much sense in a daily driver, and this mindset that you're not a real enthusiast unless you inconvenience yourself is something I strongly disagree with.
I'm also frustrated to see the manual disappearing from enthusiast cars. Half of it seems to be the guise of track performance, which is inherently compromised, and the other half seems to be for emissions, with dual-clutches outperforming manuals with regards to co2.

Frankly, I wish cars would be more focused on a specific task, instead of trying to do everything. It's respectable to me that the Miata has barely changed in 35 years while the Civic is barely recognisable.

>>28541846
You shut your whore mouth

>>28541858
>It's respectable to me that the Miata has barely changed in 35 years while the Civic is barely recognisable.
The Civic changed because it's not a sports car, the formula of the Miata is that of "we don't care that this car is uncomfortable and impractical it has to be light and that is all" A Civic has to be big and usable enough to fit humans and cargo in it, it has to be comfortable, efficient, yet be sporty enough to not be miserable, it's so difficult to please everyone, and that's what car like the Civic have to to, a Miata isn't bound by these things, so it shouldn't be mindblowing that it's still a tiny little car just made for one or two people riding in it and a thanksgiving turkey in the trunk at absolute most.

>>28541883
>a tiny little car just made for one or two people riding in it and a thanksgiving turkey in the trunk at absolute most.
There were jdm na special order trunkmats available that were a drip tray for carrying large meat cuts in the trunk.

>>28541883
Sure. None of that is untrue.
But the Civic has changed far more than something like the Golf too. Yes, it has grown in size over the years, but VW at least knows what a Golf is. There is an obvious lineage between the MkI and Mk8, while nothing connects the SB1 and FL2. Honda just throws everything out every few generations. It's difficult to respect.

>>28541942
Honestly, I wish a Civic was still just a well-made dirt-cheap car for poorfags. Buttery smooth manual transmission, enough power to go highway speed. I don't need more.

>>28541947
Same, even the old base model Accords with steelies and drums and cloth seats were awesome, it was like Acura TL for poor people, now the Accord is a super expensive luxurious hybrid and the Civic is now the everyday car but it's still too fancy in my opinion, your average normie does not need 18 inch rims, especially come tire time or parking in neighborhoods where people jack your rims... Hondas with steelies we don't worry about that, 21 years of having regular lugs and no one has ever taken them because theyre not worth it.

Very sad news I bring, bros. After doing some maintenance resealing my oil pan I went to raise my driver front coil thinking the strut had failed because the ride height dropped. NOPE. The strut tower had ripped off the frame rail. The crack goes all the way from the firewall to the headlight. I really didn't want this to die this way but I'm parting her out. Such a strong 11 years of life it had too. It will go to help many other Hondas, though.

>>28542000
The carnage up close. I was devastated.

>>28542003
>>28542000
just weld it :^)

>>28541947
Why not just get a Fit?

>>28542017
Actually thought about it. But the rest of the chassis is pretty tough and that corner has had shoddy repairs done in the past which is likely why it failed in the first place. I'll be getting a good bit of cash from the part out though so that's gonna help to fix up the TSX. Just hit 260k miles on it last week. The K24A2 does not give any shits.

>>28542020
I actually really want one myself. Either that or a CR-Z. Manuals only of course.

Nice
I'm catching up tho

>>28542003
how does that even happen? were you not running a strut bar?

>>28542750
Rust.

>>28542911
Could've been just metal fatigue, the body of the car has to take so many bumps when it's driven, and being a 30 year old EG Civic on coilovers, the strut tower may have just about had it.

>>28542984
Looks like there is a good layer of bondo there.

>>28543017
That's the seam sealer Honda uses to bond panels together in places like the wheel wells and stuff like that.

The time has come to retire my TSX Sportwagon. Wife wants three rows, convinced her we should get a new Odyssey instead of an Explorer, because fuck that. The Odyssey drives surprisingly nice. Love that old-school VTEC V-6. Will miss having one of the only TSX wagons in all of Michigan, though. Now to find it a good home.

>>28543338
>Will miss having one of the only TSX wagons
That's a god damn shame because it's one of like 11,000 TSX sportwagons, it's a rare-er car than the 58,000 5th gen Honda Preludes.

>>28543355
They look pretty decent for a wagon. There is a guy near me with an extremely good condition example. Too bad they didn't come in 6+6

>>28543395
It was a shame they only came in automatic 4 banger, but the K24 5AT I think is a gem even in a regular Accord, I expect to see them at classic Jap car shows in a while because they're so unusual and have a drivetrain the masses absolutely love.

>>28543408
Oh i thought they had a J series option, but auto only since other 2nd gens did

>>28543424
Yeah the J series only came on sedan, the TSX sportwagon was such an unusual low production thing.

>>28543355
You anywhere near Michigan? I’d rather it go to a H/o/ndiste than a dealer trade-in.

>>28543534
If that anon isn't interested I'm the other side of lake Michigan. What were you thinking for it?

Has anyone ever installed a lightweight crankshaft?

>>28524481
I wouldn’t buy a civic that didn’t have vtec on the intake and exhaust….

>>28543685
I don't mind a Dseries myself.

>>28542330
Yeah hopefully I can get it to drive as well as this one did. Its on blown strut Tein Flex Z coils currently. Replacement shocks are like $125 each. Not too bad to refresh a set of $1000 coils.

>>28542750
No strut bar but that whole side of the car had really shoddy repairs done so I suspect the strut tower also got those kind of repairs.

Here's an /hg/ original from way back in 2014 I had stashed in my no longer used Dropbox.

>>28543248
I strongly suggest popping open your ECU. See if any capacitors are blown or something. Those kind of issues are really fuckin annoying for sure.

>lose my first Honda I bought 11 years ago
>still slinging dough

At least I'm not a depressed gas station worker like I was back then.

>>28543833
Do you still have that red hatch?

>>28543927
I do not. Back in 2018 I picked up a 94 Si shell for $500 and body swapped it. Ran that til the D16A from the red hatch spun a bearing, got a B18B1 with GSR trans bolted to it for $600 and ran that for a few years. After an issue I couldn't fix with the timing belt tensioner happened I bought the EG8 back and drove that for the last five years until the strut tower said peace two months ago. Now it's just the TSX.

It's crazy I got the EG8 when it was only 20 years old and it was a real shitbox even back then. I get the CL9 when it turns 20 and the quality is so much higher. Though both these cars are in totally different price brackets new.

>>28543564
I’m over by Detroit, but $11,000. 143k, great shape. I bought it a few years ago at 120k and the only thing I’ve had to do other than maintenance is replace a couple of bolts holding up the engine’s heat shield.

Got a replacement lip, and some 20mm spacers on the way. I want either SW388s or CE28s but can't justify $4k worth of wheels on the shit roads around here.

>>28545518
I'd just rock the stockers until they get bent, Honda/Acura Y spokes make my pp hard.

>>28527013
>>28527017
Just throwing out an update on this, a couple days ago I had a look at the PCV valve, and it was indeed stuck open, after I cleaned both the valve and the breather pipe it's back to working like new.
Now it's still too early to tell if it continues to burn oil or not, but I noticed the engine is now pinging a lot less at low rpm. Fingers crossed this did the trick.

>>28539844
I never found aftermarket wheels the same size as stock and never switched back to factory summer tires, which are sitting in my basement. I push it more now, but still not quite feeling it. Also, I haven't washed it in like 3 months. I wonder if I should just brz or Supra.

>>28545838
>and it was indeed stuck open
I fuckin knew it, I'm fingers crossed too, but expect it to run better and likely use way less oil.

>Think my CM is burning oil
>it's just the VTC solenoid dumping out the side of the engine and the dealer hasn't noticed
Thanks, CM, I'm hoping I can buy an o-ring and have the dealer re-seal it cheap because it's $161 for a whole unit

Say I want to give my EK3 Civic a slightly stiffer ride, but I don't want it too stiff nor I want to lower it, at factory height it's already low enough and scrapes at some points on my driveway. What are my options for anything available in the EU? I'm taking the chance that I need to replace my shocks and I can slap in a set of Bilstein B6's I can get a good deal on to think about going with springs too to complement them. One thing that comes to mind is trying EK4 springs, but I can't find anything if the EK3 and 4 sit at the same height or not.

>>28546245
Do you have sway bars front and rear? If not get front and rear sway bars, that'll make the car handle better on stock suspension.

>>28546253
>Do you have sway bars front and rear?
Yes at the front, the 22mm stock one. No at the rear. Do I need a always need a brace if I want to mount a rear sway bar? I live in a particularly draconian EU country (Portugal) that's even worse than the rest of the EU, and pretty much goes by
>anything that's not factory spec is illegal
And if that's yes, then a brace that definitely looks out of place in the car will for sure get me in all sorts of trouble. Hell, even the yellow Bilstein B6's still put me a bit on the fence since I know of a couple cases of police and yearly inspection bitching and moaning about non-black suspension parts.

You can own 2 hondas. What do you pick?

>>28546476
CM5 Accord for daily cruising, and either an FA5 Civic or a DC5 Type S with full summer tires loud ass track pads for the weekend.

>>28529267
Ive been asking myself this too. I own a ND2 Miata I got for 25k euros 2nd hand and have been thinking about the S2000. But they generally all have 120-180k km and got some wear and tear on them and still cost 25-35k. I honestly don't think they are worth the money here. I've test driven them before a bit and I would say that they are not a very big upgrade (20% or more) over the Miata. Also Honda doesn't make spare parts for it anymore which is sad. Sourcing a hard top for the winter months is also hard.

>>28546476
A 1989 crx and a second 1989 crx

>>28546265
Get suspension bits from higher trim models.

>>28546476
Civic with a few simple mods, picrel
and a Super Cub.

>>28546636
That's the plan I have for the most part. I'm thinking about going for the EK4/VTi springs, but I can't find anything for sure if they are the same height or make the car sit lower. Also I found someone claiming that EK4 springs on the EK3 lift the front up because of the lighter D engine. Any idea if that's how it is?

>>28546476
hmmm... B16 Del Sol Si and a Z50/Monkey

>>28546683
Yup, they're stiffer.

>>28546683
If you want you could upgrade to an EJ8 front swaybar, add a canadian 1.6 EL rear sway and VTI front strut bar.

>>28547107
Yeah, I know the EK4 springs have an higher rate, what I'm trying to find is if EK3's sit at the same height with them or not.
>>28547126
EJ8's front sway bar is the 22mm one, right? If yes that's what I have so that one is already covered, all EUDM EK's have front sway bars, even the base 1.4 EJ9, unlike USDM ones.
I can't find anything on what rear sway bar the Acura EL uses, is it 13mm? In any case I'm probably better off trying to a find a local VTi one instead of importing it across the pond, but I still have the same question, do I need a strengthening brace for it? Or can the EK3 take a less rigid sway bar just fine?
Strut bars are an immediate no-go sadly, I know that from a friend of mine who put one in his Fiat Coupe and got it impounded at a police stop for it. Sway bars are easier to hide, you have to really know the trim very well to know if those came stock or not, but a strut brace will get spotted right away. Thanks though.

>>28547362
Your police are insane.

>>28547608

>>28547618
You'd be amazed how police state-y europe is for how progressive they are, our cops have guns and shit but at least we can modify our cars and talk racist shit without getting the car taken or going to jail

>>28547620
Being this anal about car modding is really just a Portuguese thing, the rest of Europe isn't this bad. It's mostly because here aftermarket parts are only approved by each vehicle, instead of the part itself. As in, in the rest of Europe a given part is tested on a car, and if approved, it's valid for every single one of the same car to use on. Here they decided that's not valid, and instead it only approves that part for the car with the specific VIN it was tested on.
So for example, the Bilstein B6's I mentioned before, in places like Germany and such, as long as they're TUV approved, they can go in every of the same Civic they were tested on, but here they'd have to round up every single Civic on the road, and test the shocks in every single one to get model-wide approval for road use in those.

Wondering if anyone has experience swapping the front bumper of a '23 Integra with a Civic aftermarket bumper.

Unfortunately hit a deer recently and thinking of swapling it out.

Lookin to buy a new car soon and it's gotta be AWD since I live in Bumfuck, Nowhere where it snows and rains a lot. I love Honda and am seriously considering a '26 CR-V. Anyone here have any experience with CR-Vs? Do you like them, are they better than the Toyota and Subaru competitors?

>>28547362
>what I'm trying to find is if EK3's sit at the same height with them or not.
It will.
>>28547362
The rear bar and links for it.
>>28547662
>but here they'd have to round up every single Civic on the road, and test the shocks in every single one to get model-wide approval for road use in those.
So what happens when your shocks and springs are done, you bounce around like a lowrider?

What is this part that's plugged into the air intake and wire-connected to the MAF sensor on my 2006 Accord 4cyl? It's got one big and one small hole for the connection, it coming undone gave me a P0171 code.

Is it normal for the 2.0 Civic to make this noise? Is the AC compressor?

https://files.catbox.moe/r8a5rv.mp3

>>28548101
That's the breather for crankcase ventilation

>>28548109

Is that normal? I don't see other vehicles making the same nasty noise ..

>>28536554
Lmao that pic anon that was fucking great.

>>28536554

Alot of them have been repaired by a recall so just get one with a new AC..

>>28548113
If there is noise coming from the breather and a P0171 code, there must be a vacuum leak because it needs to be pushed in, shops have left it undone on my 2004 Accord and made it vacuum leak

>>28548109
I'm also seeing the clip is gone...am I good to just grab assorted pinch clamps or whatever from Advance Auto? Yes, I'm retarded and paranoid

>>28548140
It's not paranoid Anon, I'm autistic about my Accord having all the necessary clamps as well in order to prevent leaks.

>>28548145
I'm just trying to be more hands-on with my car now, and I'm wondering if that specific clamp is different or "better" than the ones I can grab from up the street. But you're right, it's leaning towards the best attitude

>>28548158
OEM style spring clamps are way better than the clothes dryer style worm clamp, especially on things like radiator hoses where heating and cooling expands and contracts, which means the spring clamp will expand and contract and always have the correct clamping force.

>>28548160
That actually makes a lot of sense. In that case, I am going to AAP to grab some of their Dorman ones and then maybe I'll go to a Honda dealership today or tomorrow to see if they have the actual $6 OEM one. At the very least, non-worm sounds best for any hose connection that wasn't using a worm before.

>>28548099
>So what happens when your shocks and springs are done, you bounce around like a lowrider?
That's where it really gets pants-on-head retarded. If you follow the law completely by the book, only original Honda parts are allowed. A tl,dr for it is basically
>any replacement parts that modify the car's original performance, handling, emissions or sound characteristics are illegal
And because even OEM-spec parts from other manufacturers always deviate a little bit and aren't exactly the same spec, those are technically illegal too. Of course they aren't really measuring if those parts have stock specs or not - as long as it looks stock they won't bother checking, but on paper they're still illegal, that's it, it goes straight to the impound, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Same goes for higher trim parts of the same model, different driving dynamics = illegal. But either of those are easier to slip by since how they check for "illegal" parts is literally just eyeballing them. That's it, I'm not joking.
There's even this retarded case I know from a few years back. An acquaintance of mine had a Toyota Land Cruiser that he mounted new shocks on that came painted blue from the factory, it was failed at the yearly inspection for "illegal modifications" and he was told to either get factory shocks or they'd fail it every time. He didn't change shit, just painted the shocks black and went back, same inspection center and everything. He passed with flying colors, and from what he told me, the official there was even stupid enough to say
>see how it rides better with stock suspension?
And speaking of which, these inspections are so useless that you can even pass with completely knackered shocks and springs, because they don't check is the rates are correct, only if there isn't much difference between left and right. On the other hand I've had friends who failed because their cars "look lowered", when they didn't even actually measure ground clearance to confirm

>>28548208
EK shocks are discontinued now lol At least the KYB OE replacements are all black.

>>28548243
This, KYB Monroe etc OEM stuff is the bomb for Hondas

Very long time no see.

Kitty wants a ride in the 99 TL.

>>28548973
I don't have a new picture but it still looks the same. 201K miles now. Just paid around 2K to replace the gas tank because it was leaking, fix the brakes because they were shot, fix the brake switch, and replace an exhaust gasket because it sounded like a shitty 4 banger for a while there.

>99 TL still fucking running after all this time
That's based anon, my CM fucks with me by breaking wheel stud off and leaking oil now, but I refuse to let it go.

>they're multiplying
Blue is the 2.0 Exec posted above (>>28530996). Red is the 2.4. Got it for £700 due to rust, can repair for less than £100 (needs new driver's side sill and a complete wash and respray underneath). Plan to dechrome it, put the EP3 wheels on it (>>28533056) and give it some much needed care and attention. Thinking of keeping it as stock as possible but open to tasteful adjustments. Thoughts/opinions?

>>28549441
Accord is for stock

I know the acura csx isn't exactly commonplace like the civic but even as a leaf why tf is it so hard to find oem or even aftermarket fog lights for this thing

>>28545967
So far is seems like it. I already did around 250Km with it after dealing the the valve, by this point the oil would've dropped around 1/4 of the dipstick range, but this time the oil level barely moved at all. Thanks for the call on the PCV valve, I think I'm gonna call this a fix.

>>28549656
Good shit Anon, Hondas suck oil like crazy when the PCV valve breaks, I've known guys with otherwise healthy Toyota Tacomas burning oil like crazy, and then it stops when they put in a new PCV valve, it's insane.

Reportedly the MSRP for the new Prelude is ¥6.18 million/~$42k, I hope Honda realizes that's a mistake

>>28549845
Sounds like a steal to me, a 5th gen Prelude was like $48,000 in today's money with the super handling, they weren't cheap cars, Anon.

Hi guys, my bf blew out my back in my type r last night and i leaked bussy juice on the back seats how do i clean them?

>>28551581
Hit up your local mexican detail bros, those MFs can extract ass juice, you name it from seats

>>28551610
What if there are only puerto ricans near me?

>>28551801
They'll do, any detail place that sells a la carte services like handwash/wax, carpet extract, seat shampooing, is what you're gonna want.

I'm thinking about buying a Civic 11 hatchback. What's your favorite color? I was thinking about pearl white, but red looks great. I also like black. I've never owned a black car, but they always say it's impossible to keep it clean.

>>28553397
I like the white ones, but just having an 11th gen Civic is pretty big dick

>>28553397
Championship White anon. Go all in. If not, Boost Blue, Meteorite Gray Metallic, and Sand Dune Pearl are alright I guess. Too bad they dont offer Nordic Forest Pearl pn anything except the HRV. It's Honda's best newer clolor, reminds me so much of "mexican civic green", they just need a purple again.

>>28553841
Based Civic colors, I know not everyone are a fan of the colors, but at least Honda's offering them like it's the 90s again, I love the 2000s Honda but it seems Satin silver Metallic and Tafetta White dominated.

Literally why

>>28553864
Nothing wrong with manual swapping a slushbox

>>28553864
Why would you buy a shitbox that is fun only because of the modding potential and not?

>>28554110
They're 30+ years old Anon, ones that are nice and factory mint are well beyond the "let's slam the car on the floor and put a B series in it" stage... they're practically for display and preserving the legacy of the EG Civic at this point, and same with even the newer cars, sure it's fun to rape and sodomize the Subaru BRZ and other shitboxes, but in 30 years a clean one will be a treat to see at shows, so you don't take one that is mint 30 year on in the collectable car stage and do that to it.

>>28553757
>>28553841
Today at the dealership I saw the pearl white, it's definitely my favorite color, it looks much better in real life than in videos.

>>28553864
>engine swap brand new car
>dont clean the new engine so it sticks out like a sore thumb

Helping a friend diagnose surging idle on a 2000 civic with a b series swap
The pin for the iacv negative was disconnected from the ecu harness but just dangling there
Was that done on purpose for any reason? Or just yanked out by accident somehow?

What is the CM made of? they blew the fuck out of another shitbox and it's like nothing even happened to it, you could probably throw in new airbag modules or rip them out and keep driving.

That's a lot of money for a car with rust forming and 300,000 miles Anon, this better be the most well maintained, best vehicle ever that needs nothing, otherwise it's not worth it, $5,000 is non rusty 4 cylinder Accord from the same era money with low-ish miles in California.
