who got some
just small annoying things
i think the interior light in my ek9 is a joke
and that the handbrake is crap
any more?
Higher wattage bult and get your handbrake adjusted or replace rear pads if needed
window rubbers being complete shite as with all hondas
most of em i see the back splitter is never straight.
Use wet N black turtle-wax tyre-shine on the window seals!
i agree on both even tho i have a ej9
what problem u have with the handbrakes? mine has to be pulled up really hii when parking somewhere steep
Check your back pads/replace if needed and get your handbrake adjusted!
Yeah my handbrake is useless too!!
as previous reply!!!
handbrake too..nearly more light off my phone than the interior light.(thats with a new bulb)..Also things that can be fixed but I cant seem to see the problem is the back speaker rattles somtimes and drivers seat squeeks sometimes on rough roads
For light, higher wattage bulb is best or LED better. Jsut make sure the bulb diesnt give off too much heat.
Back speaker rattles is commonly found as being a screw that unscrewed itself!.... remove the top cover and replace!
drive seat skeaking is the seatbelt clip/socket. Use a rag and tyre shine to clean between the seat/ clip.
also the windows on my car are painfully slowwwwww
and my horn doesnt work
For horn start from the horn and apply voltage manually and test it back form there I put a big post up about htis a long time ago.! dont delay, just fix somthing eveyr day!
For the slow window, this is caused by one of three things..
1.dirt in the seal..... clean them out with a plastic ruler and a cloth and GPC. then number 2 below
2.Rubber seals perishing/drying out form the seasons of heating/cooling
Use wet N black turtle-wax tyre-shine on the window seals! all around and itll perform like new. be generout. then wipe off the excess!
3. knackered motor/worn
i know a few people who have the slow window sydrome...mine included...left more than the right one? my right one is pretty quick!
apart from that tho, no worries. not even had problems with my handbrake :S
as above!
I think its the seatbelt holder thingy near the handbrake that spueaks sometimes....definitely agree with the weak interior light (I usually leave mine set to the middle position so when I disarm the alarm I am able to see inside my vehicle from the outside, but with tint on my EK9 the light's useless)...
and the horns on the steerin wheel are too small and hard to press.....the red H in the center of the wheel should've been the horn......can't easily blow my horn for chicks anymore
As above, as for horn heh. no biggie.
I notice my EK9 is slightly tilted on the left side when it was still on its stock suspension. When i change to coilovers, there was a big difference on the coilover threads turns between the left & the right side..
I'd get the car chassis checked on jig/laser jig.! thats the only way you'll find out what needs doing.
My seatbelt puller back in thingys (lol) are lame! Didnt work in my last civic! I dont like the ariel. My handbrake is fine! In my ek3 I hated my electric windows and abs as there was always a problem! thats why I found an ek9 without electric windows and abs and its not a problem now!
as aboe for seat belt retractor.... they wear out on all cars with use. the spring could be changed but it'd be better to replace the assembly if it bothers you that much. eithe rthat or go to harnesses.
For aeriel... simply buy an inline booster on a fused 12v feed. then plug it inline by your feet behind the trim! or if its appearance is troubling you then change to a window strip ariel. as for abs, that sbecause things need to be fixed on your old car.
I have some sort of earthing problem, as my A/C controls most of the time dont light up and some times they do.
I hate how they don't have a rear wiper.
Turning circle isnt great.
I've raised the car, but the exhaust or CAT still scrape in multi storey car parks and speed bumps.
Car seems sluggish before 3,000rpm..not sure if it is a misfire or what.
remove th ecentre console trim and ac controls and test! identify the fault. for rear wiper, thats just design, to save weight.
for turning circle, you didnt buy a shopping car
For exhaust check mountins bushings etc. or ride height.
as for car being slugginsh, you can pay companies like myself to identify the fault for you, if there is a fault.
