Dave Wick
I have an extremely nice 1990 Civic DX 4-door 5-speed 1.5L with about 135K

and I'm contemplating a little suspension work. So ...
Should I go through the entire front and rear suspensions and replace ALL
the rubber...

I4 vs V6 by
Jeff Johnson
I have been shopping for a new honda off and on the last several
months, but may start getting serious finally. I had my mind set on a
civic, but I absolutely hate the interior. I am not considering a 2005

the V6 because they...

Vertically loose steering wheel by
[email protected]
I just noticed that my 90 accord EX has about 1/2 inch of vertical
play in the steering wheel. It's like the adjuster isn't quite
grabbing or something, even though the adjuster itself feels tight.
Is this a loose U-joint or something in the wheel itself?

Where's the Fit? by
Samson
About six months ago I heard there would be more Fits available by
Spring 07. Seems they are still in short supply. Anybody know when
we will start seeing more and why there are so few in Northern
California?

If I only run my accord for a minute or so (i.e. do not let it warm up)
and then shut it off, it has trouble starting the next time I try to
start it. The trouble ranges from 1) starting normally, then idling
