  3. Honda E Prototype thread

    Making its public debut at Geneva this week, with a press day at some point beforehand (which is when the linked Youtube vids were filmed). About the size of a Fit/Jazz, 125-ish mile range, 4-door hatch, around £30k or something like that. Due to go on sale LATER THIS YEAR. Pics lifted from...
  4. Honda TSB/recall data - how do they disseminate it?

    Here's my question: How does Honda distribute -- or fail to distribute -- to their dealerships information about service bulletins and recalls? I've had two TSBs done for my Civic (misbehaving BCM module, and infotainment software update) and am waiting on another one for my wife's CR-V...
  5. Autocross advice - DRIVING (quoting from Andy Hollis)

    'Tis the season, and time to "tighten the nut behind the wheel," as they say. Car setup won't mean squat if you're in the wrong position on course or just overdriving. (personal disclaimer: I attended two levels of local instruction and an Evolution school, but only raced a few seasons with a...
  6. Well, at least Honda won't charge an annual fee for CarPlay.

    Well, never mind that auto manufacturers only need to pay a one-time fee to Apple to license CarPlay, and most other manufacturers don't charge a fee just to use CarPlay (going all the way down to Hyundai, Chevy, etc), but BMW has decided to switch from their $300 up-front CarPlay fee (already...
  7. Will it fit? Aftermarket wheel compilation thread

    Hoping to revisit an idea I had a decade ago at EPHatch -- keep track of the outlying wheel and tire sizes that fit our cars. The basic OEM wheel and tire specs are well-documented, but some guys are pushing tire widths and wheel offsets to the far ends of what can fit under the car, and their...
  8. Honda celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Super Cub

    http://world.honda.com/supercub-anniv/ The most numerous motor vehicle in the world turns 60 and will soon reach 100 million units sold. Reading their multi-part Super Cub Story section is entertaining for longtime Honda fans like me, too. http://world.honda.com/supercub-anniv/story/
  9. Rain-X the reverse camera -- it seems to work

    Took me a couple months, but I got around to putting Rain-X on all my windows. While I was at it, I thought, hey, the water droplets that collect on the rearview camera while driving in the rain make it hard as hell to see anything.... why not dab some Rain-X on the camera lens? It works...
  10. Becoming a CVT convert for DD duties

    (let me preface this by saying that I'll always enjoy driving manual, and the main reason I have a CVT is because it was what they had at the dealer for hatchbacks) I never really liked traditional automatics, but it took a few thousand miles with a CVT to help me understand why I hated them...
  11. My Civic killed its first critter today. :(

    On the way to work, on a 50-mph stretch of road, two lanes in each direction plus a center turn lane, I saw a squirrel a little more than a hundred yards ahead. Hop-hop-hop, it went from right to left, and made it into the turning lane. "Stay there, you'll be fine," I tried to mind-meld to the...
  12. Tyre Reviews compares wheel diameters - article

    tyrereview.co.uk took a Golf GTI out for dry/wet timed testing, plus some on-road noise & comfort testing, on 17", 18", and 19" wheels with tires of the same model and width. Tl;dr: 19" fastest and sharpest-responding in the dry, 17" fastest and most forgiving in the wet, 17" most comfortable...
  13. Top Gear mag op-ed: Honda shouldn't chase 'Ring records

    https://www.topgear.com/car-news/opinion/opinion-why-honda-shouldnt-chase-nurburgring-records I think he fudges a detail by not recognizing the FK8's dual-mode dampers (a solution to the problem of daily-driving a track monster), but his broader point — about auto manufacturers using the...
