try thinking outside the judgment box philly kid. there were other factors that contributed to not seeing the car...night, left turn, luck. The A pillars are big none the less and I dont like that. side curtian or not, if they are big, they are big.

Ya it's safer but more dangerous. What an oxymoron that is.

 

[vasekvi]

All cars have to be designed with similar concessions to safety. But this video shows why. There was a MAJOR improvement in safety between the 6th and 7th generation accord.


On to the carnage!

Crack shaft pulley broke from wheel hop, leaked all the oil out.
3 CD changers broke from wheel hop
1 axel broke from wheel hop

2 transmissions broke from loss of motor mount, from wheel hop
Bushings are squeeky in the front end
Shifter feels like ass

Sounds like you should have gotten your wheel hop fixed

Not sure of a way to fix it.. I got new struts new bushings lowering springs new motor mounts ect. Wheel hop is horrid in this thing.. Im not complaining about that stuff breaking, it was my fault. haha.

 

[Evolved1]

I wish there were aftermarket motor mounts and bushings ect. but from what ive gathered you cant get aftermarket ones.. OEM are expensive as ****

 

[vasekvi]

There are atermarket mounts in different densities.

What about your wheels and tires? Balanced perfectly?

I hate how the you have to push outward to turn your brights on, unlike most cars where you pull it toward you.

 

[Evolved1]

Yeah they are perfect v6 6spd wheels with brand new tires. I will post pictures when I get more posts.

Prevents you from leaving the brights on. Many cars are like this.

And that is not that big of a deal anyways, lol.. push it the other way and your done... or get HID's and never use your brights again.

And it shook the same before you changed wheels and tires?

Well if you get an HID kit for the stock housing maybe but you're blinding other drivers. High beams are still very useful even with HIDs.

I can't tell a difference with my 5k HID's. Yeah it has always wheel hopped. It was so bad stock haha.. Maybe my car is a freak but it has always spun thru 1st gear even from like 20 punches.. it is a 4cyl 5speed. I do have an exedy clutch tho

If you can't tell a difference with your hids then you probably have them aimed too high. Plus I still flash morons driving miss daisy in the left lane. So useful to me.

Does the vibration increase with vehicle speed and not engine speed?

[Evolved1]

There is no vibration. It is wheel hop.. lol

 

[Jakefrom]

Strange complaint but I dont like how high 6th gear is. When going 75 or 80 on the freeways which is legal around here it revs like 2500 rpm which i hate. Better mpg if it were lower along with 5th. All other gears for me work perfect.

 

[vasekvi]

The close ratio 6MT is not designed for fuel econommy but for performance and is geared accordingly

 

[Jakefrom]

I understand that but its like why would you need 5th and 6th close ratio lol. Just doesnt make sense. I do alot of mountain driving and use 3rd and 4th alot there but on the freeways 6th sucks.

 

[Louisianimal]

actually 6th gear is nice and long... and gets great MPG when cruising from 70-75.

i hate how my headliner was doomed from day 1... it looks like **** b/c it starting to detach in front of the visors.
