Hi all. I'm currently rebuilding the rear suspension on my EP3 (arches, suspension, bushings, etc.) and was wondering if anyone had particular feelings on top-mount replacements for the rear. Are third-parties any good, are there names to go for in particular (and names to avoid), do I just...

I'm trying to work out what the cause of this noise is. Any help would be appreciated because it's a little disconcerting and it's really hard to pin down when looking directly at the engine (drowned in the rest of the sound). It's quite obvious in this clip though and shows up somewhere around...

I come back to this every few years just because I like interesting solutions to complex problems. https://patents.google.com/patent/US6968819 - Advanced VTEC, infinitely variable timing and lift. No wild lobes, just freedom to vary from minimum to maximum lift throughout. From another...

I recall reading a while back how a number of people liked the Meyle HD, problem is I didn't see anywhere to buy them in the UK. I could get them via ebay from an overseas vendor, but shipping is stupidly high so I figured I'd ask if someone knew where to get them? Failing that, any opinions...

https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/16/acura-rdx-true-touchpad-hands-on/ A few buttons and a few touchpads in a well-known location might be a reasonable compromise rather than the mess the current FK8 has.

Only noticed this over the last few days, when I partially release the clutch when doing things like backing out of the garage or turning a slow corner out the drive, there's a noise which I can only assume comes from the clutch. It only does this when there's some throttle input. Clutch...

Honda are opening orders for the Urban EV beginning early next year; y'know, this cute little thing https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/06/honda-urban-ev-orders-begin-early-2019/ Hopefully this also means the roadster's not too far behind

There have been a few postings here and there about the new EV concept cars (the hatch and sport models, somewhat like the original civic and S2000). I figured it might be nice if related stuff was gathered in the same place, so here's a few links. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXnMo4tiDzM...

I have a new stainless exhaust inbound soon, I plan to replace the bushes at the same time since the current ones have been on the car a long time and may have hardened, and since I'll have the exhaust off, why not? So, do I go OEM and use the standard rear box hangers and b-pipe triangle. Or...

The chrome has started to peel on the handbrake leaving behind a "lovely" yellowy plastic. It happened on my last EP too. Is there a nicer handbrake lever available (rather than just stamped plastic)? Is there a better solution?

Hi all, I've been contemplating new springs recently, but if I went the common route of the Eibach Pros then I'd also need new rear camber arms, front camber bolts, etc. etc. and a full alignment. However, does anyone make a decent set of _non_ lowered progressive springs? Or, am I just...

My last most recent was a pre-facelift (2002) EP3. I got it in 2015 as a replacement for the Prelude because we had a guest staying with us and the Prelude is no fun with back-seat passengers. Especially ones >6ft. My first red H, it was a lot of fun. It needed a reasonable amount of work...

It's taken me a while, apologies. Like I said in when I joined the forum, I've had a fair number of Hondas, mostly civics. This is my second EP3 (my first being a NHB pre-facelift). This is the one I'm likely to keep a while however. She's a 55 reg premier edition at about 80k. So...

Looks like TorqueGT are able to get the Legalis R in but it'll take ~12 weeks for delivery from Japan. On the plus side the price is better than anywhere else I've seen of late (£730, delivered). They need to make the order by end-of-week (Friday 2017-04-07), so you'd have until then to get your...

Late 2005 Honda requested a US patent for "Advanced VTEC" allowing infinite variation of valve lift rather than the high/low we have at present. It's now 11 years on from that and still no aVTEC. Anyone heard/seen anything interesting about this? The original article I remember seeing it...

Hi all, I'm on my second EP and this one's fuel economy is really quite poor compared to my '51 model. I used to get ~320 Mi out of a tank, the current one (premier edition w/air-con) I'm getting 260-280. This feels like a HUGE difference. I have a few tools at my disposal and have checked...
