Yeah, I'll definitely get the dealership to check out the condenser again. It's different than the last time I had it replaced though. Since it's a 17, I'll probably make a warranty claim and get them to do some investigation on the head's as well. The squeaking noise could be a bad lifter...

Too add to the coolant topic, it went above the Min line by half an inch after warming up. As far as the oil goes, it does look good still. Smells like a lawnmower too. I honestly believe that's what it has to be. Will likely report it, and other symptoms to get a new condesor again. The...

Coolant is about half an inch below the Min mark cold. Given its a 2017 with 55k miles I don't believe it's something I should worry too much about. Considering I do HARD mountain drives twice a month (ascending and descending 6200m/6000kms) and we recently got hit by an unprecedented heat wave...

There isn't any white smoke, sweet smell to the exhaust or milky/sweet smelling oil. The oil just has the faint gas smell and is still pretty clear given I'm right up against 5k miles. The exhaust smells like normal high octane exhaust.

2017 FC5 with 55k miles. Bone stock, oil done every 5k miles. Over the last few weeks I've noticed a few new noises coming from the engine bay, that I just can't seem to pinpoint. The main thing that got me listening was it starting cold very loud. From the intercooler I can hear what I can...

I almost always take the passes at night. I work afternoons and hate dealing with traffic. Leaving at 11pm, it's just me and the truckers. Fortunately it rarely gets that hot here. We had a huge heat wave a few weeks ago that saw the Province in those temps for the first time ever.

How'd you find it climbing into Denver? I regularly drive the Coquihalla in BC (Highway Through Hell) in the summer, and it's overall peak is just shy of 1 mile. I find it pulls up the hills like a bat out of hell. Kills the fuel economy, but taking the steep grades at 95mph is easy peasy. For...

Was yours the one he drove around for the Si video? He seemed to love the Type R he got his hands on.

Best I can tell is that it's sealant. Mine has it too.

The 3rd to 4th thing makes total sense then. It's only under very specific conditions that I get 3rd gear lockout. It has to be below 5°c, I have to heat up the engine and tranny for a km without shifting to 3rd. I start my daily drive on a residential street and never go over 40kms in this...

Depending on your location, the L15B7 has a lifetime warranty on the engine. Both heads and crankcase. I strictly follow Honda's maintenance schedule, at a dealership for oil. I'll likely also get them to adjust the valves (I'm 100% sure I can do this easily) and change the chain when called...

Unless you're not in gear. I have a buddy who got a little too happy revving an Accord and blew it up. He assumed the cutoff worked while in neutral and it didn't.

I've noticed when it dips below 5°C my shifter doesn't like to behave properly. The colder it is, the squishier it is. During our recent cold snap here in Vancouver, it hit -10° and I had to rev match until the transmission warmed up enough to not lock me out of 3rd. I also feel my LSD working...

I've also noticed a significant improvement in handling in the cold too. Right before I swapped my A/S tires off, they were getting noticeably hard. That being said, can't wait to mount my A/S back on after Easter.

My best guess is that your MAF is off. When you're rolling, air is still pushing its way into the combustion chamber, which will push you're revs up and down. That's the only thing that I can think to explain the rolling revs vs the idle revs. Otherwise I'd say maybe something is off with the...

Why? The Cam's and Cranks have a lifetime warranty.

Play hardball for a higher price. The Coupes aren't being made anymore. Combined with the low mileage, you shouldn't have seen much depreciation tbh. The market for Coupes is hot right now.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. The main ways to combat the dilution, you're not really able to do during the break in period. You really just need to do 2 simple things. Religiously change the oil, but you seem like you're going to do that anyways. And driver her HARD at least once a month...

I'd make sure you hold onto your invoice and keep an on if the recall is expanded to the 17s. AAny warning signs to lookout for?

No OP, but I do often enough. I regularly drive the Coquihalla in British Columbia. It's essentially a Freeway Canyon run. In the summers the limit is 120km, with fines not being enforced until 160km. Ive run into heavy rains, and I usually cruise them at 130km. The Goodyears were soooooo...
