Please, my trunk is stuck shut and the Honda dealer said that the only way to get to it would be to remove the rear seats- but they want to charge me $300.
remove the seat first than the seat back. pull up on the seat or their might be 2 bolts to remove
How can I get it to pass inspection. Don’t wanna raise it back up.
if height is a requirement in the inspection then you are gonna have to raise it back up no choice.
If you got lucky the previous owner used coil overs to lower it and you can raise and lower it with only the special wrenches no new parts.Check for a threaded body under the springs with two large aluminum nuts that the spring rides on.If not you can cheat and install a spring booster that installs in the spring when you have the car jacked up with no weight on the springs.Under $40 at a parts store usually.Then take them out after inspection.
haha same thing happened to me. ask around town and see which garage passes cars they shouldn’t be. you’ll hear of a few take it there. i live in virginia our law is its gotta be 4" from the lowest part. and i can’t fit my fist under my car. and I’ve had it 3 years now. just ask you’ll find somewhere. Good luck though. raising can be a pain.
it happens everyday when the engine is cold but is smooth after long rides. what happens is the transmission changes to 2nd gear but not before the revs on the car go to 3000 and it then suddenly engages with a sudden forward jerk that you can feel like the car accelarates all of a sudden for like a split second.
on stop a go traffic i have to basicly keep it to like 20-25mph after take off and till the 2nd gear engages then i can keep up with traffic. i changed ATF twice with Honda ATF in 2 months,that kinna helped with the degree of severity ,i also added "Seafoam Trans Tune" for transmissions but that didnt bring any change.
from my novice stand point it feels like a loose clutch but this is an Automatic. could it be my
@ TCU Or is from data from sensors(such as the transmission NM/NC speed sensor)
@solenoids
i also read that it could be the
@ adjustment at the transmission throttle cable
plz help i dont know where to start and dont have money for a trans rebuild
2nd gear clutches may be worn. It is a very common problem with Hondamatics. However, get the vehicle scanned first. I believe Autozone offers a FREE diagnostic scan.
its a 2000 honda accord coupe I need to purchase motor mounts,head gasketm and a new clutch. I need an approximate total
You can get an exact price by calling your nearest Honda dealer and ask for the parts department.
I noticed on my area there are a lot of people driving around in honda civic Si’s as if theyre legit race cars. I check the spec’s on them and its nothing special at all. I know hondas are reliable and fairly easy to tune but why does even that drives a "Vtec" Si’ act as if they drive a Twin Turbo Supra so to speak?
Vtec is like waiting for bad sex. You get all of the turbo lag, with none of the boost.
Every time I see a honda (all but the S2000 and NSX, got nothing but respect for them), I laugh when they rev their little toy. Honda= Hold On, Not Done Accelerating
honda hp are decent considering there low weight, its the tq that it lacks but when vtec came around it was BIG now adays all companys have there own vtec like toyota has the vvtl-i or something like that and etc and im not a big honda fan but when it hits vtec mode they do pull but if you have the tq you can take them……but if they have a good built ls/vtec or similar its kind of a wrap lol but in cali hondas are always geting stolen and stripped, also cops tend to pull them over more and pop there hood for illegal mods
ps when vtec came out in the early 90s it did kind of encourage other car makes to have similar systems
personally I was not impressed with the Si either. the HP is too low and the supercharger does not do enough to compensate for that. my husbands 07 saturn ion redline would beat the brand new Si on acceleration, top speed, and handling. my opinion on the Si is that its a beginners race car, and those who buy it will eventually graduate to bigger and better things like the caddilac cts-v.
a stock si is not a race car, but they are far cheaper than a camaro ss or a nissan z.theyre peak hp numbers don’t seem high but keep in mind its in a naturally aspirated four cylinder engine.what great about them is that they have tons of aftermarket support and endless build possibilities. i have seen an si make 500 hp with a turbo kit on a stock engine.
If you’re curious what a dramatic VTEC engagement feels like…go drive the S2000 (either motor will do, but the 2.2 litre in the newer models is a little more pronounced).
You arent gonna notice vtec in a new car plain and simple. but go drive a 92-95 civic coupe or hatch with a b16A in it and you’ll notice vtec.
In love. 
I had an s2k and that thing was a little monster…
VTEC.
I heard this on the radio.
To this day, there has never been a recorded or known instance of a Honda VTEC engine failing or dieing from high mileage or old age. They last forever as long as you don’t get bored and sell it.
The new 2012 201HP Civic Si goes from 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds. The same 0-60 time as a NA Supra, 986 Porsche Boxster, Mazda RX-8, late 90′s Ford Mustang GT, late 90′s Chevy Camaro Z28, Infiniti G35 Coupe Mitsubishi Eclipse GTV6.
It is as fast as cars that are much more powerful with larger engines. The Civic is small, light, and aerodynamic. It does not need that much power to go fast.
VTEC engines are also popular because of their redlines. They all reach more than 7000rpm. Civic Si’s and Honda S2000′s reach 8000-9000rpm. That is race car territory. The Porsche 911 GT3 and Ferrari 458 reach 8000-9000rpm. It basically is a low power race engine made to handle a beating. With headers, exhaust, intake, turbo kit, you can make 300-400HP on these engines and still drive reliably. It does not take long to get to 5000-6000rpm. These engines rev pretty fast.
The TSX is much slower than the Civic Si plus the TSX is a luxury car made to be quieter and smoother. It is much heavier so it does not go nearly as fast.
Personally, I would not buy one. I have one problem with them. Handling and Steering. While handling is good, there is too much body roll. Also, I don’t get enough steering feedback or response. The 263HP Mazdaspeed 3 is more fun to drive and handles better and goes slightly faster. Eventhough there is a huge power difference, the Civic Si still keeps up posting a laptime of about 2 seconds slower than the Mazdaspeed 3 as tested on Edmunds’ www.insideline.com
I was bored waiting in the parking lot for Black Friday and now the car won’t start. What did I do and how can I fix it?
You activated the brake lights each time you pressed that pedal.The lights wore your battery down most likely. Ask someone for a jump start/
Unless you drained your battery. It could be anything. If you turn the key and nothing happens then you need a charger . But I don’t see it dying u prolly had the idling for a while sitting there
theyre are few jacks on sale 2ton, 2 1/4 and 2n a half.. they all come with stands which i intend on using..i will only need to lift front part of car up to change the brakes so whichof the 3 will work??
if it fits under the car you will be good, it dosnt take much to lift a honda i use a $15 jack from walmart for my integra.
Just make sure that you do use the jack stands and be carefull when you remove the wheel speed sensors. A good service manual will help you a lot with any job on your car. Like others have said; any jack that fits under the car will work. The one in your car may or may not lift it high enough to get the jack stands under it. Another thing to consider is to changeboth linings and rotors on both sides at the same time because the car might pull to one side upon application if you don’t. use brake parts cleaner and clean the rotors and try not to touch them with your bare hands when you put them back on. just the oil in your skin can make them grab. When you remove the calipers, you may have to have some special tools and knowledge in order to get them to back off enough to put the new pads in. When you do get every thing back together and before you let the car down, make sure to start the car and push the brake pedal a few times to be sure that you have good application. check the reservoir too. good luck in your repairs!
2ton is fine for most cars. 4,000 pound cap. Your car weight is less than that.
cr 125cc honda top speed 2004 model
we had tried one 125cc top speed was 120KM/sec
which car is more stylish?
Honda Civic is better in terms of loaded features and specifications. But the limitation is that it comes with no option in diesel variant while corolla top end variant ,that too in diesel engine gives a really good mileage,costs less than civic and has pretty good features.
I think it depends on your taste. The Toyota has a more traditional looking dashboard and like thing in the middle with the radio and stuff, where as Honda’s dash board and stuff is more modern looking. I rode in both today at Carmax, and I personally prefer the Honda Civic. The Toyota Corrola’s clock is practically useless. It’s very tiny, and it’s like at the bottom so you can’t even see it when your driving. This may be insignificant for others, but it bothers me. I also thought the Toyoa made more noise than the Honda Civic.
Honda by far.
The Honda has better reviews, always wins in comparison tests, has a more peppy engine, more fun to drive, handles better, faster, better and sportier design inside and out.
The Corolla is quieter and more comfortable. But it is so boring to drive that you might actually die of boredom if you are not too careful.
Both are reliable. There has never been a Honda VTEC engine known to fail. Many old Honda’s in junkyards still work. It is just that no one wants a car that old. And as J.D. Power & Associates rates, the Honda Civic is more reliable. But really I would say they are about the same.
Hi,
It is enough to say that Both cars are best but Toyota corolla is a deadly impressive.it is having ABS, EBD, Red LED Tail lamps, Manual head lamp leveling system, seat belt warning, power door lock, intermittent wipers, green laminated wind shields, driver side power window with one touch up/ down.The very dazzling carrola is home to the world
Honda civic or Maruti Swift Which is best?
The basic difference in both cars is the swift being a hatchback and the civic being a luxury sedan. The another major difference is the cost of both cars. The top end variant of swift,ZDi costs around 6.48 lacs while the civic top end variant costs around 14.42 lacs. Then comes the features and specifications. It is but obvious that civic comes loaded with luxury features ( you are paying for it). Although swift ZDi too has really appreciable features.
If you see according to the best and popular model with low price budget then Maruti Swift is best. As you know with higher price range you will get more luxury car and even bigger.
But in my point of view, according to the performance, Maruti Swift is best as ever. Maruti Swift is having mileage of 17.5kmpl on the other side Honda Civic is giving mileage of 15.5kmpl less than Swift.
There are lot of difference, in terms of pricing,built quality,luxury,technical specifics etc…Both these cars cannot be compared with each other, they are great performers in their own segment. Swift is budget hatch back car where as the civic apremium sedan. Please decide on your budget and the pick the car or Google for more information
Hi,
My dear.. Both car are best but Maruti swift is a best because Maruti is a available low price range inIndian auto market.it is a value for money car in this time.because Petrol price arelooking up day by day. it is a first choice for middle class family.
you are speaking about different segment of car. civic is a luxury vehicle where as swift is a normal hatchback. if you have enough money in your pocket go for civic or else go for swift. for more info refer to their respective websites
I never expected to see a choice between these two! The civic costs almost 3 times as much as the swift!
First decide how much you want to spend on a car, then you can choose from the ones that come within your price bracket…
