2 amps at 12V was a great idea! I don't have access to gear that could provide that, so I just risked the high amperage of the jump pack. Unplugging the electrical connector was easy with the use of a 90 degree pick tool to push the lever inwards. The connector slides right off if you get the...

I agree with the above post, you do not need a scanner to put the EPB in maintenance mode. I just finished changing out my rear brake pads without the scanner or an E11 Torx. Once I had the wiring disconnected from the EPB motor and the caliper off, I used a jump pack and some extra wire to...

I just want to let anyone know who is considering the 255/35 R20's that I recently switched to them and love them. I got them from Discount Tire with my military discount (10% off) so $181 each. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/continental-extreme-contact-dws-06/p/25518 They run great...

Thanks for those pics, makes me feel better I'm not the only one that curbed my wheel pretty bad.

Received the shift knob, in perfect condition. Thanks Tom! Great transaction: the knob was shipped and tracking number sent to me within hours of payment.

Nice floor mats! What kind are they?

There is a funnel in the compartment in the left side of the cargo area, opposite the subwoofer. Turn the little plastic knob, remove the panel. It’s where the jack is stored in cars with spare tires. In ours, there is just the funnel and a tow hook.

It’s not a concept, it’s a one-off built by the guys at the Swindon factory in their spare time just for fun. Honda has no plans to put it into production. It will be used to haul Honda lawnmowers and other small things at shows, for PR. What I love about the story is how Honda as a company...

I’m watching this thread for updates, really hope you enjoy the Type R! My other car is a Dodge Challenger with a turbo that makes 1000 HP at the wheels. 9 second quarter mile. When I want to go fast in a a straight line, I drive that car (at the track). When I want to get the kids from school...

If you're lucky enough to have a Discount Tire in your city, it's the same company. I just went and bought tires for my wife's SUV. They matched the Sam's Club price installed, then on top of that I got a $70 rebate (from Pirelli, a mail-in), and then a $100 gift card (no application necessary...

Personally I wouldn't want to add chemicals to my car if I don't have to, just on the off chance that it might get dirty. If it gets dirty, I'll clean it then with soap and water. The back seats, on the other hand, I want to get some Wet Okole seat covers for, when they start making them. The...

I just got my 8 year/120,000 mile warranty from Sean at Hyannis Honda. Everything handled via email and over the phone, it was so easy, I highly recommend it. Does NOT have to be within 30 days of purchase. My car was originally purchased in October 2017, but had less than 1000 miles on it so I...

That is hilarious, I park exactly the same as you guys. Way too far from the curb, and backing in whenever I can because paranoid of curbing it. One of my other cars is a lifted Ram 2500 on 37" wheels, and I'm fearless with parking that thing, rolling over curbs all over the place. Exact...

Curbing wheels is the worst. When I bought my 2012 Challenger SRT8 brand-new, I curbed those wheels and was so mad. They were nice wheels too, because it was a special edition. I ended up getting another set of the same OEM wheels and used the damaged set for winter tires. I'm so paranoid about...

I was installing something in my truck when I first got it which required taking off the middle part of the dash, which has painted trim. I gouged it pretty bad re-installing it, and right where I could see it by the steering wheel. I was so mad at myself, and would literally growl every time I...

Okay, not a serious mod, but it always bugs me when the kids get in the wrong side of the car and climb over to their seat (they always sit in the same place). So I put their names on their door, and said, "You can only use the door with your name on it." Our last name begins with "R.” The kids...

So here's a very specific question about the Hyannis warranty. They're offering 8 years/100,000 miles for $925 or 8 years/120,000 miles for $1050. Is the extra 20,000 miles worth another $125? Especially 8 years down the line? On one hand, by 100,000 miles I may not even have the car anymore...

You can still go to the owners site and download a manual without a VIN. Just search by year and make. Owners.honda.com

It's the same manual that's in PDF form on the owners' site, just printed out. So no extra information in it about break-in procedures.

It wasn't a tit-for-tat deal like, "Buy 19 car's get the 20th one at MSRP!" I had asked a local dealer who the CTRs went to, and for how much. He said the first one went to a long-time customer at MSRP, and the other 2 went for $5K ADM. I made up the "19 cars" because it sounded funny. My...
