I want to get some shocks for a 91 Civic. This car is stock and will never see track time; it is the quintessential daily driver. The only time it sees hard work is that it has to drive a dirt road where I have gone airborne before with my first car. So, no lowering for it. Based on that,...

If you don' think you are getting a fair deal, search locally for the identical car that you just totaled and tell the insurance company that you need the same bucks that it will cost to buy it or you are filing a complaint with your state insurance regulator. Always worked for me though I...

Hi I just bought the 2007 civic LX A/T. I am thinking of the extended warranty for 7years/130000 km for 1000$ Canadian. What do you guys think , are people taking it. Basic warranty is 3 year for bumper to bumper and 5 years for powertrain and tranny. I have had two Hondas before 93 Civic and...

Hello - I had been considering an Element but now believe maybe a 4wd CR-V may be in order. However, in researching the CR-V, a few alarming points keep coming up : 1) Bad rear differentials on '07's. Seems like loads of trouble here. Bad lube ? There was a recall (beginning of Feb ?). Is...

Looking at replacing my current Honda radio and wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is between the 39100-S84-A300 and 39100-S82-A300? Very little information on the web. In fact, it someone knows a site where I can find manuals online, that'd be great! As always, thanks for the...

My dash board lights went out on my 05 element, as well as the speedometer itself. I looked through the manual to see which fuse might be involved, but none is labeled for dashboard lights or for speedo opeeration. Anyone have any ideas on the subject? Thanks in advance.. Ted -- Posted via a...

perhaps his has been discussed before, but I've missed it if so... but these belts are really annoying us - the dealer says it's a "feature" - we've got an '04 Accord the belts will occasionally lock up tight to a person and/or lock when you are trying to get them done up (before you can latch...

I've had an intriguing issue with my 98 Civic, and thought I might describe it here, and see if anyone has some insight as to what could be going on with the car. Short story: poor fuel economy, alternator test suggests bad alternator (175 amps?!?!), occasional dimming of lights, otherwise...

does anybody know what would be the stock spring rate on a 2002 civic sedan lx? Is 150/150 pretty close? All I'm getting of google is that such and such aftermarket spring would be stiffer than....bla bla bla..... but I just can't find the actual specs. Honda doesn't seem to know or give out...

The tint on my 1998 civic lx finally bubbled after 8 years. Only on the rear window. The other windows are great. I decided to remove it and have done a fairly nice job- windex and removed most of the glue. However I am stumped as to how to remove the tint right behind the third brake light. and...

Hello Honda enthusiasts! I just wanted to take a moment to let fellow CR-V owners know about an especially maddening rash of automobile-related thefts that have been going on in my area, and which may soon spread to other regions ... if it hasn't already! I live in suburban Buffalo, New York...

I bought my 99 Accord LC, 4 cyl, 5-speed in October of 1998. After 8 1/2 years the car has approx 158k miles on it. Other than tires, brakes, regular oil changes and a tune-up at 95k miles the car has never had any major work done to it. The ignition switch was replaced as part of the recall...

Hi folks I've got my Honda Integra up for sale in magazines and web sites, don't worry I'm not goin to try and get a free ad on this group! I do have a big gripe though. I keep getting phone calls from these agencies who say they have buyers lined up to buy my car but before they give you their...

I have an Integra 93 with 120K miles on it, and a lot of rust, thanks to the Vermont roads. About four months ago, while driving on highway, my car had a sudden and short power loss: the tachometer fell to zero, but then the car kept going for another month (100 miles or so) with no starting...

Haven't been on this thread in a few years since selling a '91 Accord leaving driveway strictly 'Yota. However the '86 Runner is getting long in the tooth. While married I was content to drive the beater, keeping her in the nice car but now its my turn. Stopped by a few dealers Sunday (Closed...

I had honda civic 2001 coupe for six years and this year i trade in for 2007 honda civic 2007. For my old car I did not spend mach. Oil change every 5000 miles or 2 times a year as I drive around 10000 miles /year. Tire replaced at 45000 miles but could go another 5000 easily but I changed them...

Thanks for the answers. The local Honda service manager told me Honda returned the favor and rebadged their Odyssey for Isuzu so he keeps one Isuzu tech on staff for the crossbreeds. Found the Trooper in Consumer Reports. '98 was the best year earning an an overall average but got worse from...

Hi, I recently purchased a 93 Honda Civic on the very cheap end of the scale. In general the vehical seems very good except for the following issue. When the engine is started a scratching noise is heard, on inspection it appears to be coming from the left side of the engine. This seems to...

Hi, I'm tall and have found that I can't find a comfortable seat position in my civic that allows me to reach both the pedals and steering wheel comfortably. If my hands are at a comfortable position, then my legs are scrunched up, and if my legs are at a comfortable position, then my arms need...
