Ok.... What I meant was that things or "issues" happen, other than "normal" mechanical failures, that stop cars (and sometimes their drivers too) from running. Such as: traffic accidents, crazy modding, fallen trees, rodents, floods, fires, riots, wars..... So I managed to keep away from...

Yeah, they offer as much or more than what I bought it for after 4 years... but why would I sell a car while I want to have a car and I like this car? I could also sell my house in a day, (yes, I keep receiving cash offers for the house too) my underware, and my shoes, (no one bidding yet) and...

I don't drive the CR-V at all. I only change the oil etc. Wife drives it. Then the civic isn't mostly sitting, I use it when I have an irresistible urge to go to Walmart, and for other errands, plus mostly pleasure trips which means she's driven almost every day. No commuting for me, though...

I haven't posted on this forum for one full year now. I just came to say that, unsurprisingly, yes, it still runs. I made a lifetime personal record of less than 3k miles in the calendar year 2021. The last time I drove my car so little as in 2021 was when I didn't yet own a car. That's...

So in Germany the MM shows days left, in the UK miles left, and in the US the precentage of oil life left starting from 100%.... that's called cultural adaptation. Each of the Honda subsidiaries probably just selected some time ago how they wanted their oil changes displayed.

I want to correct myself: Honda actually won't want or need to admit in court, or anywhere else, that the parts were designed only to take stock amount of stress, and above that they will break. Al they will say is that they don't warranty parts that have been very likely subjected to stress...

Sorry, what you wrote above doesn't make sense. It's not a matter of opinion or discussion, any more than the flat earth theory. In the SI system the most commonly used unit of kinematic viscosity is m^2/s (meter squared per second) or mm^2/s; the unit of dynamic viscosity is Pascalsecond (or...

That's one of the reasons I'm not in a hurry (yet) to mod. I'm seeing what Honda did here, and I like it. So I'm not so much in a hurry for example to dump that Honda intake and attach some crude thick pipe instead. People focus on what they are gaining, but often are unaware of all the...

3. A few snowflakes falling from the sky and not even completely covering the ground should not be called a "snowstorm." 4. Adults should not like to watch hero movies.

1. NVH is only tolerable in a racing car while racing. 2. Global warming is a hoax.

I just want to correct this part. cP and cSt are not the same or equal. Actually, they can't even be compared, because they are physical units of different physical quantities: dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity, respectively. It's like saying milligrams and millimeters are equals...

I understand you are asking for court experience and new engine install knowledge . All I can tell you on the legal side that it's unlikely you would win, but not impossible. What people often misunderstand about the the Magnusson-Moss law is that "proof" means proof in the legal sense. All it...

Look, don't get me wrong, it's great you are posting your experience, which is similar to many other stories that can be found on the forum. The amount of the diagnostic fee is a bit outrageous, but so is California. I don't believe they actually found a leak in the evaporator, because it...

You lured me into your long post and now I regret the spent time. So much information but you forgot to say what kind of boost and power you were getting out of your modded Si and what tunes.

That's correct, they have to include more "features" because they are not Honda. And they need to have an actually functioning AC system because they are not Honda. ? Then Hyundays and Kias have to also add extended warranty. These are not things that Honda is jealous about. They wish they...

Why would tossing it in neutral blow up the CVT?

"Stay out of boost" is correct only on the surface of it, but not really. Staying out of boost with factory tune means staying out of using full power. And this way, of course it does save gas. As it is, high boost also means wide open throttle. But turbocharging is actually a feature that...

It's a petroleum (also known as crude oil or just oil) product, but I don't think most of the world calls it petroleum or petrol. Actually, only people influenced by the British call it petrol or something similar. Of which the largest group would be probably India. Otherwise it is benzina...

That's interesting. By itself, the oil should not turn into jello, but the problem is that oil doesn't exist by itself. There are oil additives, and with oil dilution, there are also fuel additives. There is also water and with any leak there could be coolant. Finally, there could be...

Yeah, and it also depends on the jacket you're wearing. I bet you are wearing a sensible jacket, but I hate those punks who pig park so close and then squeeze out between cars dressed like this: :p
