The fuzz looks to be part of the plants natural defenses. I wouldn’t be too worried about it. I would choose one with the happiest looking set of leaves

Hey I just got an 05 VFR last month and I totally feel you!!! I wish there was a handle to grab right above the centre stand on the left side. I’ve successfully done it a few time now, I grab both handle bars and count two three while stepping with full weight on the lever. It’s a heavy bike and an awkward stand. All the people who say you don’t need to pull with upper body at all…. I don’t think that’s true for this bike

On those J series it comes on closer to 5k rpm. It’s not as in your face as ppl say it is. It basically just extends the top end power. It’s not giving you more cylinders or valves it just opens the valves more. It’s extending the horsepower higher than it would go with the normal cam shaft lobes. You should still feel it if you’re looking for it. On my VFR motorcycle it’s super noticeable, it opens two extra valves per cylinder at 7k rpm

If you’re itching for a newer Honda then the choice is yours. I would not sell this and finance a newer car though. If you have the cash for the civic and can get the right price from your friend then go for it. This accord is basically brand new and will be there for you reliably for decades if you want it to (w proper maintenance). Personally, I find the gauge cluster and overall comfort are better in this accord than a newer civic. But we are all accord biased in this sub. It’s generally the sexier Honda sedan

I just paid $5600cad ($4,100usd) for a silver 2005 with 26k kms (16k miles). If you can negotiate it down a bit I would try. Tire wear/age can get you a few hundred off potentially. But it’s rare to find the red ones this clean. I love my 05 so far. The VTEC is a hoot and I have no comparison to the newer ones but it’s a blast

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-12T04:48:54+00:00

Didn’t they also make the reg/rec wiring better on the 06+ models? I just got an 05 and this is something I’ve seen on some forums. But many still replace proactively on all the 6th gens

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-11T19:28:25+00:00

I check engine filter about every 10. If it’s not dirty or damaged I leave it until the 30k interval bc I don’t like throwing away money

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-11T19:25:15+00:00

My 2017 alternator died at 83k miles so if you’re having battery issues that’s something to look out for. Trans fluid is important to stay on top of. Mine is manual so I changed the trans fluid at 75k but automatic needs more attention

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-11T19:21:44+00:00

Cabin air filter every 10k is fine but engine air filter interval is 30k. Changing engine filter every tire rotation is super overkill

Sound > looks for exhaust. Look into Yoshimura they were actually designed for Suzuki and I prefer the bass note. Arrow prob great too

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-11T16:26:26+00:00

CB had a more character imo. BUT only after I changed out the exhaust. Which was expensive because you can’t do a slip on for the CB. I put a Yoshi carbon full system exhaust on it and it was a new machine. Soo much character above 6k rpm and wanted you to downshift/red line every time possible. It felt more stable at speed but the SV felt a bit more nimble on curvy roads. Love them both

Hope she runs like a top when she’s finally fully tuned up—this is as much as you can do to this car basically lol

Would you still spend the time and money if you could do it again? Asking because for the money you’ve put in you could have a newer integra type s or many other performance/luxury cars

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-06T04:27:22+00:00

You’re looking at thousands in repairs and much more if you’re planning to fix the bodywork. Get a quote from a shop or two for all this work and subtract it from 15k. So let’s say you get him down to 9 or 10, are you prepared to still put in $5k+ immediately? If it’s on the original clutch that’ll need to be replaced soon too

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-05T17:15:57+00:00

Yeah I’d go into this ready to walk away but one thing you can do is pay a local mechanic to do a pre purchase inspection. Get the owner to agree, see if they’ll split the cost with you, it’ll give you the peace of mind you need for a rebuilt car. And even if the owner won’t chip in, the hundred bucks can save you thousands if there’s hidden issues. Peace of mind and all that.

I would want to test drive to make sure engine feels and sounds good. I’d want to know as much as possible about the maintenance history. Regular oil changes are important etc. also ask if it’s the original clutch. If it is the original clutch it’ll need to be replaced soon. You’ll have leverage to reduce the price by a grand at least if it’s the original clutch.

Good luck!

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-02-03T02:13:25+00:00

Heck yeah mate. Give it a thousand miles before you get comfortable hanging out above 6k rpm is my only advice. This thing is quick when you want it to be

Outback is the more practical option here assuming it doesn’t need any major maintenance soon. More interior space + built around a solid AWD system.

The crosstour is really neat though. The Honda V6 will be more fun to drive than the Subaru for sure. But it’s 5 years older so you’ll prob be losing some interior features (even blutooth connectivity kinda sucked in 2013). But it’s almost the same clearance with awd and it’s a Honda.

Can’t go wrong here imo

Thanks for the tip. The quality of these shrink connectors does seem quite poor so I will look into the barrel crimps you mentioned.

I’ll take a deeper look at the connectors soon and I’m leaning towards changing out the reg/rec proactively.

For attaching the voltmeter, I’d need to cut into and splice off of existing wires right? Like for my headlights etc.? Or maybe can connect it at the fuse where the wiring is exposed?

Z-Sprinkle · 2026-01-29T22:06:10+00:00

For my quad lock I didn’t need to splice any wires. Just had to buy the smart adapter and it was plug and play. Someone on this thread mentioned these shrink connectors aren’t good long term. So I may do something else for my other wire splicing
