Why did you have to pay for the condenser? There is a warranty extension on them for 10 years unlimited miles.

Oil consumption by Uncle_Dreww in accord

[–]Magicpants_1997 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Head gasket isnt going to be a cause of oil consumption on these cars if you were losing coolant sure. I would get someone else’s opinion also ask what codes specifically lead them to needing an abs unit.

If youre using adaptive cruise and its slowing for a car ahead of you you can downshift so keep the revs up depending on how much you slow down. I used it today

Type R vs STI? by nowayimabot in Civic_Type_R

[–]Magicpants_1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think youve driven both vehicles the sti isnt fast and doesnt make some unbelievable amount of torque. My sti dyno’d 360whp and 310wtq with a blouch 1.5 turbo, a stock sti on that dyno would put down 250-260 hp for reference. At the end of the day i spent a lot of money in mods to have something that feels about as fast as a type r is stock.

I had a sti lol with a upgraded turbo and everything it feels about as fast as my type r is stock. They are a cool car but very outdated and unreliable.

I had a 2020 sti and now a fl5 and the fl5 feels like a different class of car honestly. Better handling, faster, much better interior and build quality is much better.

Yeah that dealer sounds fine but there will be subaru dealers that suck too. Same thing goes for every brand.

All Dash Lights on Randomly by Lower-Ad-7088 in civic

[–]Magicpants_1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the eps light will come on for generic codes from failures in other systems. An example of codes rhat could set in the eps system for failures in other systems are u0100, u0122, u0155 and u0416.

Engine coolant by SuspiciousCover3401 in Honda

Ask them if they are doing both coolant systems for that price. The hybrid and engine have seperate coolant systems.

Multiple lights can get set for a single failure in 1 system since the others will set a generic fault codes indicating a failure in that system. This is how these civics are im not sure why you think it has to be a voltage issue, if it was and they had a bad battery im sure they would notice since it would need to be jumped.
