Lots of fun. They can leak from the t top seals. My buddy owns one he b16 swapped and did bolt ons to. It's a great summer car and more enjoyable then my GSR due to the t tops, rear window that rolls down and overall driver focused cockpit. I'm not sure why they are so disliked.

I can't drive manual yet so my uncle drove it home. We saw that there's a grinding issue, but, according to him when you go into gear very slowly it doesn't grind. Is that the synchro issue these things are known for? I won't be able to try myself until tomorrow

Got my obtainable dream daily bros. A 2016 honda accord EX-L with the V6 and manual, under 50k miles. Bit higher than I wish I paid @ about 19.4k total after dealer costs but honestly it's such a fucking awesome car. Gas mileage all things considered is good. Only other thing I would have taken over it without paying more than 30k was a 2.0T but I've always wanted to own a couple and this is basically the swan song of a beautiful combo of parts and features. I just wish I had a garage but I'm not gonna drive it in the snow when roads are salted so really just have to worry about the clear coat. 

Anything I need to know about it in terms of mandatory maintenance? Or just change/add fluids when required and ignore the rest? I really think I can keep this going for 20 years. May pick up some spare infotainment screens just in case
--- 26496039
>>26494905
That thing's beautiful as hell Anon, go no more than 3000-5000 miles on oil at most, drain and fill your MT fluid every 30,000 miles or even less, the expensive and necessary timing belt water pump job every 100,000 miles, waxing the black paint as often as you can afford to keep it looking good, and it should last a very long time, 9th gen Accords don't even have power steering fluid to worry about, which I love, so many good running 7th gen Accords get thrown away due to that damn power steering leaking from everywhere plus it's own maintenence.
--- 26496905
>>26496039
Thanks for the response anon. I don't know the first thing about waxing. Guess I gotta figure it out. I'm super stoked to own it. Everytime I get in I'm a happy camper. Glad I was able to get a 2016 just for carplay honestly
--- 26497288
>>26496905
>I don't know the first thing about waxing
Nothing wrong with that, even paying people to hand wash and wax it every 3 to 6 months will preserve the car, the sun is your enemy on the black car, park in the shade whenever possible, leave a sun shade in the window to keep it cool if it is outside in the sun to protect the interior, that's such a nice car, that I would throw a light duty $30 car cover on it with some dumbell weights to hold it down from wind if this car is going to be outside all the time while you're at home or work, I personally wish someone had done that on my Accord, I've already had to put a new headliner in due to extreme heat, and my roof and hood need repainting, this could've all been prevented had the car been covered, i know this is autism, bit if you're gonna keep an Accord coupe for a long time, you must protect it from the evil UV rays, they will destroy your car.

I just drove it home, was grinding every gear until I got down my block and sort of stopped grinding. Trip was 2 miles with about 4 lights. I can't tell if the gear grinding was because I was learning or because of the "issue". I head the CMC causes grinding issues, is there any way to test or confirm anything before I spend money?
Car felt great otherwise, I am so happy.
--- 26498412

>Car felt great otherwise, I am so happy.
That's good Anon, grinding transmission is common on 8th gen Civics in general as they get up there in age, look into buying a good used transmission or a re-manufactured one, and the car would be mint, otherwise you'll have to shift slowly.

Yeah after messing with it for a bit Ifound that it grinds way less if I'm holding the clutch in for at least 3 seconds. It also does not like being in reverse, there's kind of a whine that doesn't sound right.

hello anons. I own an fn2 type r and my clutch fees off. 

It sometimes crutches the synrcros? as if the clutch is not fully disengaged (but pedal is fully pressed in) does the car just need an adjustment or its something else?
(this is particularly noticable in 2nd and reverse)
--- 26503221
>>26502683
i don't think honda can make a trans that doesn't slightly grind into 2nd or have unjarring synchro engagement.
--- 26503243
>>26502683
you could try adjusting your cluctch master cylinder...rod? From the clutch pedal to the CMC. If there's a lot of "slop", maybe you could unscrew the lock not on the rod, spin it a few times until there's less slop, and see if your clutch engages better after. You want a little slack or else your clutch might be slightly engaged all the time and you'll burn it up.

Replace the oem fluid with ACDelco friction modified syncromesh. Lots of FK8s have had their 1>2 shifts fixed with just a fluid change. I know a lot of Honda old heads who've used that fluid for ages and swear by it.

Haven't been in here in a while. How are things going for the rest of you Honda owners? 
Picrel is the H22A4 from my Prelude. Doing a full rebuild on it. I plan on doing a bore, new pistons, cams and valvetrain, maybe new rods and crank as well. I'd also like to supercharge it and wire it up with a full custom loom and ECU, but I've never done anything that complicated before, so I'll be learning as I go. 
What projects are you guys working on?
--- 26504527
>>26504502
nice, im rebuilding a d16a1 head and turning it into a dohc zc, but then the loom rebuilding begins, and eventually i plan to go vacuum advance, recurve the dist, and bike carb it, ecu delete so its full hot rod style /emp hardened for lols

--- 26505851
>>26488329 (OP)
I have an EG shell sitting in my garage and I'm thinking about what to put in it. Here are my two choices:

B20Z from a CRV and look for a VTEC head
>cheap engine as there are plenty of parted out CRVs where I am
>easier install and less manufacturing
>hard to find reasonably priced VTEC head
>Honda doesn't make parts for the B anymore

K20, not sure what yet I need to research more but most likely will buy a crashed EP3 or something and have the K20A2
>more expensive engine, however I can get a whole EP3 for a few thousand
>harder to get into the EG and more manufacturing
>Honda still makes stuff for the K and will be easier to maintain down the road

I don't really care about horsepower, in both cases I will put the engine on a stand and do a full rebuild as OEM+ but nothing too crazy, maybe raise compression a bit and no turbo, as well as some light porting and stuff like that.

I'm not afraid to make my own mounts and manufacture stuff but I want the car to look clean when it's done, no nigger rigging shit and should be pretty OEM looking

The main point that is driving me towards the K is that you can still get Honda bearings and all of that stuff whereas D and B shit is discontinued.

Provided I do all my own work and can make my own mounts will the K swap really be that much more expensive than a B20 vtec build? What I'm looking for in this car is longevity and street fun - the shell is freshly repainted and I want it to last many years, that's why I'm worried about B parts being discontinued, come the next engine rebuild I won't be able to source bearings or a crank if needed

any opinions?

Cannot stress this enough on the Accords, I used to think chinese tires were fine, but once I got literally anything else, the car rode nicer, and the car can corner faster without understeering.

Also that nicely painted CM with Type-S wheels is fuckin slamming.
--- 26506322

--- 26509031
>>26508121
>Is this normal with car buying in general now?
It is not, due to shortages of things, Honda is literally selling cars that are't even built yet, or arrived at the stealership, when I take my car in for service, it's not uncommon to see a brand new Civic sitting their with piece of paper on the window saying that it is a customer's vehicle because it's sold.
--- 26509051
Can you guys recommend some service and mods to do on a first gen fit at 180k? I took this poor girl in in rough shape, but I've been slowly fixing and upgrading everything. Failing it right now but the goal is eventually to use it as a hobby rally car. Since i bought it here's what I've done
>Stage 1 clutch
>New used transmission
>Clutch master, slave, and damper
>Brakes and rotors all around
>Cheap coilovers (rev9)
>Brake master
>Fujita cai

Insurance jobs are very autistic with the way they appraise damage, but even if you keep things as cheap as possible, the cost of crashing a Honda is really through the roof, even breaking a headlight on a new car with LED or HID or whatever it is, my crappy CM Accord would cost $215 for a brand new OEM headlight from the dealer, the newest OEM headlight I could find, the 2018 Accord was $396, that's an 84% increase just for a single headlight.
--- 26520563
>>26520531
This was the headlight and it was almost $600 to calibrate the front camera and to fix a 6 inch scratch in the rim was another $1000

--- 26521474
What tires do you guys recommend for a dailyed SI? I've only driven mundane commuters before this so I have no idea what I really want. Long life would be very nice, and having a good balance between feel and comfort is preferable. I'd prefer to keep it under $600 for the full set but if I have to spend more I will
I live in the rust belt so there is a good amount of snow for a couple weeks every year.
--- 26521488
>>26521474
For a daily driven car that isn't ripping around on summer tires, I would run Falken Ziex ZE960 tires, those things are about as good as it gets for an what is technically an all season tire made to be soft at lower temperatures but isn't a snow tire.
--- 26521489

08 Acura RL with 154k miles on it y/n?
Getting desperate for a car, and I've been wanting a v6 Accord. This seems fairly close. Only thing is there's a dent, which I can ignore, and the owner says the door makes a pop when it opens and I'm not sure what that means.
--- 26523740
>>26523732
The door is probably impacting the fender because that has been dented in, but a 2008 RL is technically a higher end vehicle than a V6 Accord, it's basically a modern day Acura Legend flagship car.
--- 26523796

That's what I was thinking but he didn't specify which door. Though looking at the passenger side where the dent is, where the panel meets the door looks like it's caved in a little. My brother had a car with the same problem, but on the driver side. Except the dent on this RL is closer to the headlight and is kind of small so I wouldn't think it should affect the whole panel.
>it's basically a modern day Acura Legend flagship car.
Sounds like a good thing.

Any Gen 2 (2002-2003) and Gen 2.5 (2004-2006 facelift) CRV owners?

I want to ask if has someone tried swapping out the Gen 2.5 facelift headlights into the pre-facelift models? 
I'm really not fond of having my high & low beams not being separated. 
I want to know if would it fit and how the wiring will change for this swap? Thanks.

It's fucking beautiful anons. If I weren't planning on buying something with a lot more power after I pay off the FK8 I'd definitely buy one. Acura has redeemed the Nu-Tegra

All of it, how can Acura spit out these beautiful ass cars that are brand fucking new? The Integra and TLX Type S are drop dead fucking gorgeous when you see it on the road.

Trying to swap a 2nd gen crv k24a1 motor that originally came bolted to an auto trans into my manual 2nd gen CRV. Is there any difference between the auto and manual engine blocks? Can I just take the auto trans on and bolt on my manual one?
--- 26532868
>>26532579
The engines are the same, the only thing different might be the flywheel because it's a clutch instead of torque converter.
--- 26533146
>>26532868
know if anything else is different? assuming the wiring harnesses are slightly different but im not sure what else
--- 26533152
>>26533146
The harnesses for ignition and cam sensors should hook up and run the motor the same, you're just bolting a torque converter to the back of the motor and then the auto trans.

Had my AC system recharged in May last year because it was blowing hot air. They also sealed the system, or at least they claim they did. Fast forward to now and it's blowing hot air again. The compressor and clutch work fine. I'm not spending another $200+ to have it sealed and recharged again. 

Bought one of those cheap kits off Amazon to recharge it myself. If this doesn't work I might just sell it. It's a 10 year old base model civic so it might not be worth it to have the AC system replaced if the problem is more serious.
--- 26538667
>>26538642
I would keep that 2010 base Civic if it's been a good car for you Anon, I know AC systems are a bitch when it blows out, but try going to a local shop that has a good deal on an A/C system service where they add dye into the system, pressurize it, let it sit and reveal its leaks, that way you know how bad it is, even if it needs like a $400 DENSO compressor, and a re-charge, 2010 Civics are cars worth keeping, I've got a 2004 piece and I had the AC system leak tested for $59.99, and then recharged for an extra $72 because it ended up being fine, but I was totally prepared to drop in a new compressor on an almost 20 year old car because it's that good of a car.
--- 26538712
>>26538642
did they put any dye in it? get a UV light and look around.
I'd just get it fixed, your next shitbox could have more hvac issues anyhow
--- 26538721
>>26538712
This, you're never gonna beat repairs hopping from shitbox to shitbox, just spend the money and send it, you'll be much happier that you bought an A/C system instead of spending thousands for a car, which might blow out it's own A/C system or need other crap.

>>26538642
>>26538667
>>26538712
>>26538721
Yeah, the UV dye is the right test for this. Speaking from experience a ton of seals start to give out after 10 years on civics, so keep an eye on the power door locks and windows too.

For the polyurethane bushings on the engine side. At low speeds it's borderline unbearable, should be ok in ~300 miles or so.

you put it in when you charge the system, any future leaks can be found easily.

A little desperate for a car, and I'm seeing an 07 Pilot with 106k miles for a decent price. I kind of hate big SUVs, but should I take it?

>>26540889
The one I'm seeing is an 07, and apparently it's a good year. But the other guy has a point toot. Even if this is a good year, if the seller didn't take care of it it will be shit either way.

Buddies, my engine is ticking up a storm. Being a new shitbox 80s Honda owner and doing some research I think its time for a valve adjustment. Any of you anons do that? Is it fairly straight forward or will I fuck something up catastrophically?
--- 26542948
>>26542306
>where does it become 100k in value?
Probably bring a trailer, but the dumb thing about buying cars and not driving is, it goesw down in value a shit ton for many many years before becoming appreciated, and this guy got only 6000 miles out of it, he might make a little bit over 40 grand in profit over 13+ years, but you could've done better than that in something that wasn't an automobile, which would cost you some money just to have for all those years while only getting 6000 miles out of it.
