Problem with my car...

Ok...this is going to be hard to explain but i'll give it a go...

FIRST OF ALL...My car is an automatic....Ok...your queue to laugh...:(

Ok...finished?!...great...:D now the problem....


When i turn corners...say turning right around a roundabout...i slow down...brake...and after i turn...i accelerate...like how you normnally drive around a roundabout......

When i accelerate after turning right....the whole car shakes...and struggles to launch...and after shaking....its ok....get what i mean!?

Its kinda like when ya driving a manual...and ur in first gear and you accelerate after turning...the car kinda shakes...

Get my problem?

Is it the petrol?...what is it?...transmission?....i got a service...and i explained the problem...but like all problems...when u have the guy sitting in your car...the problem doesnt happen...until you get home!!!!

Help!?

BTW...its not only around aroundabouts...its kinda most of the time when i just launch....

Hard to tell on a description. Check that the CVs/driveshafts aren't touching any of your suspension (you're lowered as I recollect). I had an issue with the driveshafts rubbing when the car leaned into a corner.

Take it to an auto trans specialist - maybe it isn't kicking down the gear it needs to?

BTW - manual drivers do NOT brake into corners! We gear down instead - I hate ppl that brake all the way around a corner (damn auto drivers :p )

Yeah maybe it is the gearbox not changing like it should.
Sometimes when i try to go up carpark ramp in 3rd gear and the car shakes...is that what you mean by when it shakes?
BTW: i had respect for your car until i found out it was an auto :mad: j/k :D

Hey tannee - do you have doilies on the rear shelf and wear a pork-pie hat when you drive that auto? :D

wheee - fun to be had here :p

tannee, ur car is so hot!! Man i cant belive its an auto!! Are u still selling?

I used to have exactly the same problem (felt like it had a block in the exhaust on med to heavy throttle, and the felt like the block suddenly went away over 3000-4000rpm)...the Honda techs could never work out what it was! I got the fuel filter replaced, had the leads and plugs checked, got it tuned, had the fuel flow tested, compression tested, the box checked and still couldn't diagnose.

My answer....get rid of the engine and box and replace with a manual B18C teg motor and box...that should fix your problem;)

don't you hate it when your car plays up and when you take it to get looks at and it doesn't do it!!!

That's it. With my username and your transmission, I feel most qualified to decree -

RICEBOY!!!!

hehe. Hope you find out what's wrong with your car.

I have that all the time. Always looking like a dick cos the prob dissapears wen i go in!! Soon as i leave the prob kicks in, its happened soo many times to me!!! :rolleyes:

I need to service my car, but once its all done I'll be right for a cruise. Give me a couple of weeks, and I'll be right to meet up :D

Hi everyone again. Back from my 1 and a half week break :wave:

I took a few days off to rest. I was down in Wollongong at my unit for a week going to the beach and lounging around. Came back early because battery went dead.

whoops - that was in regard to your j/k about taking the piss out of "slush-box tannee", now to be known as "slushee" :D

WB BTW :)

Haha....well not really joking but you know :) I suppose I commant a bit more respect because I drive a manual ;)

That depends - I know a few girls who will only drive manuals - some of them don't really command respect behind the wheel. Do you have little furry animals on your dash and rear shelf? :p

All the gals in my family will only drive manuals....and no...I don't have any furry animals on my dash, or rear shelf :silly2:

Not like MSFTO - giant Pokemon on her dash...total rice

LOL - and Pokemon is so '90s too! :D Should be Digimon shouldn't it? :p

I saw westie rice in Carlingford - a dumped and kitted CRX with fuzzy dice :bloated:

But hanging CD's off your mirror is soooo cool!! :rolleyes:

lol - are we playing forum tag? :D Damn you're a fast poster.

Anything off the rear view mirror = westie. My ex used to hang a cut class ornament off the rear view mirror - it drove me nuts to the point that I refused to get into her car :p

Haha....yeah

but I'm also at one of the other forums trying to catch up on my other posts as well at the same time as replying to these posts :)

I used to have a chinese knot thing with a tiny little rock pig on the end hanging from the mirror in my old civic. I bought it from the asian temple in berkley, it was just a symbol of the year of the pig - the year I got my licentiate diploma in music.

Cool. One of my 1G Civics I painted IPEC yellow (way before honda got on the bandwagon) with black highlights. A friend bought me a clip-on Mr Doobee which was clipped to the rearview mirror :D

Heh - I'm on the 4G forums and the performance forums mIRC channel :)

I am usually here, and sometimes at Importlove, or the performance forums....

Are you on the australian performance forums?? I only browse, and ocassionally post there.

yeah - I only found the aussie performance forums today - found out some interesting info on import laws. I'm not going to even think about it too much - scarey

I've been advised by my sister don't get too friendly on that forum as most of the people on there are yobbos and don't like hondas very much. There is a smaller group of honda people on there. Besides most of the people on there are her boyfriends friends...enough said.

lol - seems to be mostly bent 8 and turbo enthusiasts there - and yes, I could see some anti-rice sentiment. Unfortunately a lot of ppl associate Hondas to rice - even in stock trim. There's a City turbo owner on there though - I thought that was pretty cool :)

Oh....I haven't noticed about the City Turbo.....you're not talking about the pictures I posted are you??

Yep...mostly turbo enthusiasts...but be careful I have a twin there...nick is spunkymunky...notice the spelling.

I got freaked out when I saw the nickname, asked him as I was curious why the same nic and he said he always uses that nic, except when he got to this forum, I took the spelling. Freakier thing is he drives the same car as me :eek:

there was a post where ppl were discussing the 1G civic and talking about city turbo drops in them and how quick they were. One of the guys had a city turbo avatar and mentioned he owned one.

Heh - saw a spunkymonk(e)y post somewhere too - wasn't sure if it was you though.

Lol...yeah no worries...all forums turn into some other convo anywayz...look at the 'raving crx' forum...first we were talking about the crx...then it ended up about relationship with girls!!! :D

so is anyone else hanging out for the new Buffy series... :p

i love driving auto! its easy to talk on the phone and send text messages while driving! LOL. but really, big advantage there! :)
not having to swap hands and lift your shoulders to your head to hold the phone while driving a manual aye? hehehehe

Anyone that uses a mobile without hands free in a car is a fool, an idiot and an accident waiting to happen. :mad: Twice I've been hit by idiots concentrating on the phone and not the road.

Beside - auto + 4cyl = slow acceleration and little control around corners. Ever seen a auto driver ride the brake around a corner or a bend? It's because they have no control over the car other than the steering wheel. Not all auto drivers of course, but most.

but but... heheh, i dun like the hands free.... hehehehe =P gets tangled around my hand, and it dont look good. hehehe. its all bout da StYlE!!hehe. jkz!

sheesh :D

Maniac! I've only done it once and I only answered it because it was my boss and he was PISSED off.

yeah i send messages wen i drive, but only in wen i on the motorway in a straight line, and only if its someone important, but i talk on the fone and drive all the time, its like eatting a ice cream and driving, its easy. Unlike txt msging its easy to do. I know a few people who concentrate so hard on txting that they hit a parked car. The ultimate crime!!!!
