Honda parts reviews

Michelin x-ice my vote……had them on my Accord and were great on snow and ice.

I actually switched back from a short ram to the stock airbox recently and it completely changed how the car drives — smoother powerband, better MPG, and way better throttle response. I do miss the VTEC sound a little, but performance > noise for me.

It’s possible to get the timing cover off and on without removing the valve cover but it’s easier if you remove it and it’ll also give you the opportunity to check the valve clearances.

Do change the battery anyway each 5 years and thankfully my car is a Honda so it has a very high quality alternator made by Denso and starter motor made by Mitsuba

I did the lower control arms on mine (used delphi).

Get a Honda civic and snow tires. They’re reliable, safe, good on gas. I’ve never had a fwd let me down in the winter unless I was driving like a dumbass.

I recently did the timing belt, water pump, tensioner etc. on a 2007 Honda Odyssey and a 2016 Acura MDX. It's pretty much the same job, but I can tell you that the MDX was a lot easier.

Finally did brakes all round last year...had been warped for a long while, but held up well

The carb was old and not good, caused it to stall out all the time. Cold starts were lol as well.

I dont know about the newer 1.5t in the crv's, but im getting rid of mine because of the oil dilution issue. Sent out an oil sample and it came back with 8.2% dilution on oil that had 2k miles on it with 0 idle time. All the technical service bulletins have been done and \"nothing\" is wrong with the car.
