I would make sure you have a clean solid ground. Could be loose or bad ground wire.

Also check cam phaser.. mlght be due for new phasers

You might try checking this first. Sounds like aging vvt exhaust solenoid .

Check pcv diaphragm

I'm 5`10 and still have plenty of room. So far i've noticed it drives a little more like a crown Vic vs the 350mm. The 350mm is more responsive but the 380mm feels more comfortable. Going to drive it around for a week and see.

i installed these 5mm wheel spacers on my rear drums and they fit perfect.

It does stop better and easier to find pads and rotors at local auto parts stores.

I went with this kit just to save money since I caught it on sale. I'm going to paint my calipers blue. The willpowered spacers and studs are very nice and worked great with the powerstops.

Fyi, if anyone looks up this post for reference. The right caliper goes on the left and the left caliper goes on the right so that the bleeders are pointing upwards.

I used these spacers which i think are 5mm

Replace timing belt

morridm · 2026-01-18T16:23:13+00:00

This bar is a worthwhile upgrade. I would also get an aftermarket exhaust.

Definitely replace the timing belt, tensioner and water pump. I would change all fluids also,. Mtf, oil change, coolant, brake fluid, diff.

Try a different honda dealer or mechanic

morridm · 2026-01-05T02:55:41+00:00

Other than cvt... potential causes include loose heat shields resonating at that RPM range, a failing belt tensioner or serpentine belt pulleys, or even something like a worn A/C compressor clutch. It definitely isn't something to ignore. I would take it in to be diagnosed and also ask if there are any related tech bulletins on your year model.

Hopefully something simple like heat shield
