Please help! What to do? I cannot get off the rear wheel drum on my trusty '78 Honda Civic (just 100,305 M on it) to check the brake shoes. The nut is off, and I've loosened the brake adjustment, but the drum does not come off.(It can be rotated.) I've tried prying with a screw driver between...

Okay here is my question. I know alot of people have suggested buying from www.tirerack.com and I am sure they give good prices and home delivery, but who would you get to install them? I bought my hankook at Towne Fair Tire, so I doubt they would put other tires that they didnt sell on your...

Hello, I am noticing that the Honda Accord V6 and CRV uses a term about having Traction Control, and the Civic Si says it has Heliptical Limited Slip Differential. What is the difference? I had a 1990 Mazda Miata and it had basic Limited Slip because I had the Tier II model. My main question...

Hello, I am was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the Tiburon GT vs the Civic Si coupe. I owned civic ex's up to 2002, but never drove the si. I also drove the Tiburon 2005 (non gt model). I found the Civic ex's to be good cars in general and the Tiburon to have a throaty exhaust, have...

I am seeing the 2008 Accord in concept version only. From what I read, the 2008 accord will have a slightly longer body and may have considerable hp improvement. I am reading 175-205 for the 4 cyl and 270-280 for the 6 cyl. Maybe more luxury?? I'd like to get more viable information about the...

Hello, Today I noticed that for a few hours my temp gauge in my accord decided to stay at 59F even though the temp outside had moved from 59F to 70F. Later, in about 3 hours the temp gauge reads the right temp of 87F. Other weather conditions are clouds and fog that later changed to sun, but I...

Hello all, I know this is not really specific to the RI chat room subject, but I recently saw the Obama acceptance speech and I'll tell you I almost cried several times during the speech. I was previously close to voting for McCain or a republican, but when I started to get to know what Obama...

Hello, I was reading somewhere, which I cannot remember off hand that the 2008 Accord V6 coupe with the 6 spd MT will do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. I was more so considering the Accord V6 automatic 5 spd for the next car, than the manual. So I was wondering what the 0-60 difference would be? No one...

Hello, I know this is just a honda users group, but I was wondering if anyone has heard any possible news or rumors that honda might come out with a manual mode either in sequential sport shifter or paddles for the coming accords? It seems odd that Honda hasnt offered that yet since Accord is...

I had a set of 4 Hankook Tires put on my 2005 accord ex sedan a month ago. I believe they are 205/60HR 14's. So far so good. I did have to get one of the valve stems replaced because it was leaking after going to the carwash, but the tire place that I had it done did it for free as they gave me...

I was considering the FIT Sport auto for my next car in 2008. Has anyone had any troubles with their FIT's at this point and if so what happened? What is the ride, noise levels and comfort like? How about the stereo, engine performance etc? Thanks, Al

Hello, I was wondering how the transmission being a manual is like to drive? Is it as smooth as they say? I mean as far as when you let out the clutch and what about the shifting? Are the gates well defined or mushy? I had a 1990 Miata 5 speed and the shifting actually made a click sound when...

Hello, Heres some background: I have a 2005 Accord EX Sedan auto. I am considering adding aftermarket Xenon HID lights. The real ones, not the fake halogen types. I live in good old Rhode Island where its fasionable to have winding, hilly streets with little or no street lights. Anyway I...

I heard about is a Anti Car Jacking system called The Wizard and from what I understand its a remote like an alarm transmitter and if you get car jacked, you wait until the thief is almost ready to drive off then press the button and the car stops and stalls out in the middle of the street. At...

Does anyone know if the Factory XM for either the accord or the civic is fm modulated or not? I have fm modulated xm in my civic which i put in after and its not that clear as regular radio or cd sometimes. If I was to get the factory one and be spending all that money on it, i'd rather make...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone in here has owned a Honda FIT sport manual for a year or so and how the reliability was? Have there been any repairs or out of the ordinary maintainance that was done to the car? What about the general ownership satisfaction? How is the car handling bumpy roads,...

Hello, I live in New England and for those of you who arent familar, we get alot of cloudy, rainy, foggy and snowy weather. My experience with satellite TV, Direct TV and XM Radio is that when it is anything but clear and sunny, the reception is not so good. My questions are about the GPS...

Hello, We just got clobbered with snow in New England where I live and I am at the point where I don't want to get an Accord anymore and want a 4WD vehicle instead. I heard that the 2008/2009 CR-V 4WD is good in the snow and more so if the car as better tires like the Blizzaks. Compared to the...
