[marquee]

Ive had my care for a year and a galf and clicked 60000 lol

[cheapdouchebag]

bought my car at 150xxx kms with the following issues:
-Driveshafts needed to be replaced
-Front brake pads have 20% meat left.

now sitting on 162xxx kms.
and ive got 2 CEL's
When dead cold fast idling at 1.5k RPM - CEL
When half warm and keeping constant revs at anything higher than 4k rpm - CEL
When warm - fine
When VTEC or rev match from 3rd to 2nd at 70km/h - CEL

CMP internal power source failure
EMC relation failure.
Had the OBD2 read and mechanic didnt give me the codes n only the description of codes sigh.
I hope its not a chain tensioner faliure sigh...

Oh yeh, i do need to replace my APP sensor too, jerky accel at low rpm, sometimes i can put my foot flat on ground on freeway and theres a rumble but no accel whatsoever.

sigh this euro is damn annoying.

[richard_k]

that sucks dude :( how old is your car?

[cheapdouchebag]

04' model.

yeah i wish i didnt write off my 03. it was the best. =/

[tron07]

how about lowest mileage?

[antony]

I have done 21000 kilometers in 17 months,I think thats slightly under average ???

[richard_k]

i've done about 20000km in about the same period of time as that

[jzx_andy]

sucks having to buy a 'lowish' km 04 euro and raping the odo with highway km.. i bought it in march with about 81,000 km... just hit 93,000... :(

[HunterZero]

I probably have the lowest km's example CL9... :o

- HZ

[richard_k]

i'm surprised no one has said 'you're right i don't care..' haha

[marquee]

No i have an oil leak 190km and only one leak wam bam

what your mileage, mine is pretty low, but my friend's is even lower, kind of weekend car.

[d_evilz]

brought my euro 2nd hand in october 09 @ 60k km, and right now its done 93k km :)

[Lazarus]

Bought my 05 CL9 in mid april @ 93xxx. Had a few problems...
Fixed em all, everything is running smooooooooth.
Now @ 106xxx

[HunterZero]

what your mileage, mine is pretty low, but my friend's is even lower, kind of weekend car.

Put it this way... It might hit 10,000km soon...

How about yours?

[aaronng]

My 2004 has only 90k.

[Fredoops]

128k for mine, stil going.

[richard_k]

What year hunterzero?

[marquee]

How much for a rebuilt engine if it blows you reckon?

[Fredoops]

How much for a rebuilt engine if it blows you reckon?

About 2-3 grand for a complete replacement..
Not too bad.

[richard_k]

Would you buy a motor off yahoo auctions?

[Fredoops]

What you buy a motor off yahoo auctions?

No JDM Yard ha a few K24 long blocks a couple mth back, and I saw a half cut for 4grand with everything.

[richard_k]

yeah true shipping would kill anyway

[marquee]

The way i see it is i have an engine and if it goes id much rather just get it redone as you dont know whats been done to those engines regardless how clean they look. And if i were to rebuild it id look at doing full internals at the same. And you get a warranty too which is a plus

Its too cold to walk. Its too hot to walk. Nice day for a cruise. Too many smells on trains. I think of them all the time

lol lol

mine is 06, hitting 60k soon, my friend is 07, I think less then 30k.


Richard_k, 07 on his profile.

[aiutn]

04 Lux, 124,000

[roony]

thanks. Though i kinda feel that my car is even older now once it crosses it.

haha ye . Most of the places I tend to go are very short in distance. (dont drive to work as thats not practical for me, st kilda road).

[jbzonda]

06 Std, 102,000km - feels as good as new!

[marquee]

Baller living on st kilda road. It would be so close to work lucky as

[richard_k]

Not looking forward to hitting 200k if I ever do LOL

[marquee]

Ill let you know in a few months how it feels

[tron07]

what sort of wear and tear major items you replaced in the car?

[richard_k]

only thing that's close to major that i've replaced so far is the window actuator on driver's side

[marquee]

Yer ive done no major repairs. Im expecting to do some though soon.

[tron07]

I consider major parts are items such as air cond compressor/condensor, suspension arms/joints, assorbers, water pump, fuel pump, TB, power steering pump, ball joints, alternator, etc which usually cost you an arm and leg.

[marquee]

Nah mine are all good

[Fredoops]

Let me see mine....

Ps Hose went (then recalled)
Door actuator went (got parts from USA... Other wise $$$)
Pulley belt is on its way out
2x front headlights (the Honda recall got recalled... Lol)

[roony]

took my baby out for a cruise after the shower to honor it as it reached the 100,000 mark :D. ( just after had to put ABS on, damn taxi thinks its a great idea to jump from 2nd to 3rd lane and then stop suddenly to pick up a passenger, going down hill at 70km/h speed.)

[ricerockets]

wish my abs worked...

[jono_l]

Either you guys with high km's and no problems are extremely lucky, or my car's had a seriously hard life!

I'm currently at 78k km on mine - 07 model. Aux belt & auto-tensioner were done at 72k. Brakes are warped (have been for ages). Stock shocks are shot and need replacement - the car's feeling very underdamped compared to every near-new vehicle that I've driven, and I've had a few interesting experiences where the lack of rebound damping has had me hanging on for dear life in situations where other cars have had no problems!

On the plus side though, the engine still pulls hard and the rest of the car feels as tight as a drum - no rattles (asides from the bloody sunroof rubbers which need lubricating every once in a while), and no real signs of wear anywhere else.

Did you have your car since new? Stock shocks tend To crap themselves if car was lowered on springs.

The brake rotors only meat to last 90 odd k, so 78-80 seems reasonable.

The belt might have stretched. But if the tensioner was not rattling, then there is no need to replace it (you'll see it bounce around if the tensioner is worn).



Brakes are warped (have been for ages).
If yours is an auto, then it is not warped. The shitty OEM pads will leave deposits on the hot discs. Just give it a quick sand and replace the pads with any aftermarket ones.

Is your car lowered on springs? If not, then you might be cornering too quickly or you drive really quick over poor condition roads or speed bumps.

[jono_l]

Tensioner was rattling and bouncing at idle at the time. The belt was actually fine, but figured for an extra $30, no point in just doing the tensioner!

Replaced with aftermarket pads already (RacingBrake ET300)! Have to say that whilst the situation did improve over OEM pads, some brake shudder still exists. At least it's now at a "bearable" level as opposed to the "I hate using the brakes" level.

Had the car since 62k. Not sure if the previous owner had done anything to it but it was bone stock when I picked it up. Never been lowered during the time I've had it.

I definitely don't corner too quickly ;), but like for like on same (poor condition Sydney) roads at the same speeds, my own car is underdamped as compared to say a new Jetta, Mazda6, or even the facelift CU2. There is a section of road that we use at work for suspension benchmarking - it consists of a big dip (i.e. downhill, immediately followed by an uphill section) that is taken at 90km/h. Most new cars we've taken through there will handle it with no excessive rebound, whilst my CL9 felt like it bounced a whole foot off the ground and was definitely an "oh $@^$!!" moment!

Not trying to stir sh*t here though - I still absolutely love the car and am happy to sink money into it to get it fixed, despite the fact that it would be slightly cheaper and less problematic for me to sell up and lease a company car instead!

[richard_k]

considered getting new sussy setup? coilovers maybe?

[jono_l]

Definitely - new springs and shocks is the next thing on the cards for me!

Not going to go with coilovers though as I personally believe that it's just not appropriate for a daily driver, and I'm not after a huge drop either - something like Tein H-tech (1" front, 0.7" rear) would be perfect for me. Am weighing up between Konis or Bilsteins at the moment - Koni's have the mounting collar for the HID levellers and are rebound adjustable, but the Bilsteins are monotube, generally perceived to be better, and I may be able to get a good price on them through work.

Got that pesky 80k service to pay for first though!

[Fredoops]

Don't forget H&R springs, 1" front and rear

what's your budget?

[jono_l]

Don't forget H&R springs, 1" front and rear

Thought the H&R OE Sport was .75" front and .5" rear? For that sort of drop I'd just throw a set of Koni yellows on the lowest perch and be done with it!


what's your budget?

Was originally looking at spending less than $1200 shocks and springs only, but willing to stretch the budget for Bilsteins if I can get a good price. Labour and camber kit extra of course, though having looked at the technical documentation for Acura's CL9 A-spec kit (similar drop in rear), I may be able to get away with no camber kit for such a mild drop.
