Thinking about getting a Honda

Xenostalgia · #1 05-24-2005, 11:33 PM

1: Don't flame.

My maro has been eating up cash left and right now I can't even gte spark plugs. Its a great car and fun as hell but something is up with the fuel system so i'm going to have a mechanic look at it and if its over 500$ i think i'm gonna just sell it and get a honda cause i'll never have to worry about not fucking being able to turn it on in the mornings (Can't start my maro within 5 mins. >/ )

So I'm going to try to sell it for like 7,000$ has 83k miles on it and engine itself is fine. tranny is fine, synchro's are a lil finicky, depends on what they want. new front tires new ac unit new stereo sytem.

So sorry guys but its been fun. Not going to do too much to it (the civic) just i/h/e without the huge fart can, only a small one.

WTF
7000?!
and maybe tell us the problems youre having so we can help you fix it?
liek exactly what the fueling issues are?
get your head on straight, if you sell this and buy a honda you will regret it for a LONG time

Regret it long enough to save up for for a nice maro and be able to pay for maintence.

Problems:

1: Synchro's Shot.
2: Front Suspsension Shot.
3: Front Bushings need replaced
4: Some type of fuel-delivery problem where engine bogs down bad, sputters and then has great rpms then back down.
5: Doesn't start up right awya, pita, I'm late a few days of the week, starts up on a dime when its warm.
6: See some dampness/leak on rear end housing.
7: Leak/dampness on a weld on the muffler past the cat.

=/ Yeah posting for 7 gonna get talked down to mid 6.

Hey, no worries man. I'm tryin to find a little honda too, preferably a CRX. But that's only because I plan on rebuilding my engine and basically upgrade everything on my car. So I'm gonna need a daily driver while the birds out of comission. I wouldn't sell your camaro though, keep it as a side project while you find a cheap little honda to use in the mean time.

I'm not trying to flame but i dont see it getting 7 on your luckiest day. It's a 6 bang right? What year is it? With all that stuff you mention being wrong i'd say MAYBE half that...

Cuda shut up fag.

And I'll find out if the fuel system is a problem..

I'm still paying off the maro thats why i'm selling it.

Going to turbo the crx and have it run 13's.

Xenostalgia · #10 05-25-2005, 09:02 AM

Btw where I live its not uncommon to see some 6ers going for 10k with 75k miles.

cuda_dude · #11 05-25-2005, 09:32 AM

maybe 02's not a 97

OK because you get a rusty old CRX, turbo it, and you're NOT going to have problems.

Suspension: why do you say its shot? look into SLP takeoffs.

Which bushings and why dfo you say theyre shot?

Rear end housing: thats nothing. I had that leaking for over a year till I replaced the gasket, and then its fine. If you really want go to a parts store, get a gasket for a GM 7.5-7.626" (or whatever it is) 10 bolt differential, and 2 quarts of gear oil and change it. It would tkae under a half hour.

The exhaust... have that part re-welded... most exhaust shops prolly either wouldnt charge or it would be next to nothing just to touch up one weld.

For the fuel, what diagnostics have you done/what have you adjusted that may have to do with the fuel?

For the starting, (which may well be connected with the fuel problem?) could be VATs... plugs/wires... coils... a lot of stuff... I know autozone does free ignition system tests (among other tests), there any around you?

In short: stop being a little bitch, and fix your problems
