***Zeuceone*** · 04-14-2007, 02:52 PM

thats the second person who had this problem. last one cracked at 23000.

Bif Powell · 04-14-2007, 04:02 PM

Isn't this the same motor that's in many other cars (RSX-S?)?...are they having an issue with this - did you have FI in any way?

somedaySI · 04-14-2007, 04:07 PM

The one at 23k was an R18 I think. How about this one?

***Zeuceone*** · 04-14-2007, 04:08 PM

dont know. i doubt he will ever post again.

***Zeuceone*** · 04-14-2007, 04:10 PM

"Now Me and the Mad Doctor have to rip apart that block and replace the Piston Rings you fried...!"

Honda FTW!

Shoulda Bought an SI.

***Special Ringpop*** · 04-14-2007, 05:43 PM

The Scion won't be nearly as fun to drive, but given how boring of a car it is, I'm sure it'll last forever.

The new Civic is both a wonder and a tremendous let down, I think.

I'm right in the middle of how I feel about it. Love my car; hate the materials and built quality.

dakine2 · 04-14-2007, 06:30 PM

its gonna be two years with this car in nov... yeah its a r18. the inside quality its well...ive seen better in a ford. i just loved the style of the car but i grew out of it quickly. i think the tc has more potential to be fun than this car..

dakine2 · 04-14-2007, 06:32 PM

oh yea i would have gotten the si but i got the car in nov of 05 so the si wasnt out...i cant justify 24-26k for a civic. i dont care wat you say about it its a civic. that kind of money could get u a fairly nice used sti or something. or a charger

honda06si · 04-14-2007, 06:35 PM

why doesnt the OP post more info as to what happend, what he was doing at the time....omg

i got a charger for 21k new

***Special Ringpop*** · 04-14-2007, 06:43 PM

Well, unless you're in Canada, the Si shouldn't be more than 21k.

And while it's a Civic by name and look, the engine makes up for it.

Trust me on that one.

I'm not happy with the quality of the Civics either, but.

werd!! if people only bought cars on looks and quality of materials no one would ever buy a srt-4 (oh snap)

Skylinegtr06 · 04-14-2007, 06:59 PM

Im scared! Any k20s that cracked?

***Cybergypsy*** · 04-14-2007, 07:04 PM

LOL it a block guys, howmany have cracked???? No worries here

Skylinegtr06 · 04-14-2007, 07:07 PM

Wait a minute, 3 blocked cracks of thousands of us is not that much

vtmn215 · 04-14-2007, 07:09 PM

I am sure that he was driving his car in the red daily for something like this to happen. Just like when I hear people frying their stereo systems (played too loud) and ruining phones (repeated drops/water), etc... it's called abuse. Just because the car can go to its limit doesn't mean that you take it to it's limit everyday. The tach may say redline is 8k but leave it at 8k and your car is gonna go up in smoke. Remember, you treat your toys like crap, they are gonna break.

dakine2 · 04-14-2007, 07:12 PM

i drive about 30 miles to and from work 5 days a week. i think i just got a bad apple. its interesting how people will defend this car in every way. no i dont abuse cars. 16k for a 21 year old is alot of money. atleast for it me was. when i invested in this car i didnt expect it to have so many..issues to say the least. iono id prefer a hatch like the rsx or that damn tc right about now

Skylinegtr06 · 04-14-2007, 07:14 PM

^I agree with you, honda's reliability is crap but I dont think Toyotas are any better
