Damn Cluth on Euro...

[aaronng]

You feel the Hondata mod will be ready that soon?

Well, TSX version is out and supposedly they are testing on our Euro. Since they cracked the new ECU, it is now just testing to remap the fuel that we have and whatever small differences between our K24A3 and their K24A2.
I'd predict 6-12 months if there is market potential in Australia (which they are persuading Hondata over at tsx.acurazine.com) and all goes well.

well as long as they map it out for Optimax and BP Ultimate
caltex vortex is ok too :b

but god damn if it maps it out for Mobil, god help us all

Does the extended warranty cover items that go through wear and tear such as premature wear of clutch and brake pads?
I have my brochure here, but it doesn't say it covers clutch friction material. How did you get your clutch covered, Pum[Z]? If they do cover, then I might take up the extended warranty. Then again, the Hondata mod is out, so..........

Hell if i know how i got my clutch covered under warranty.. I have extended warranty and if they didn't change the clutch i would have wrote a major complaint to the dealer and to honda. They changed it under warranty for the clutch plate, fluids and etc etc. But they gave me a warning if the clutch burns out again it would be out of pocket....

Honda's extended warranty covers so much more then the standard warranty... Just check out the extended warranty compared to the standard warranty and u will see why its a sound investment to pay the extra dosh for the extended warranty. Plus its a 5-6 year warranty when bought from new so its pretty good...

i wouldn't think extended warranty would cover it.. they kept stressing that point to me.. i'm still considering writing a letter to honda to complain, especially if your clutch was burnt out (wear and tear) and was covered :|

I know I'm new to the forum and this is my second post, but fwarrrkkkk, don't ever listen to the car company when they say warranties wont cover this or that. Especially if something as ridiculous as the clutch wearing out after ten thousand K's happens.

As with all consumer law, you have the powerful with the money and then you have consumers. The powerful use every bullying tactic available designed to wear-down the resolve of the consumer. Try getting the ACCC to help and you'll find that they won't. It's up to each individual consumer to pursue their statutory rights and that process is very tiring and the powerful rely on that.

$95 dollar filing fee at the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (or your states version) , one Consumer Dispute form, One affadavit of service, one mediation and one hearing. Then you get your money back, sounds like a good deal to me. I just took Youi insurance to the tribunal and won. There's a thing called 'Rule of Law' built into the constitution that says every man or woman is seen as equal before the eyes of the law, and it holds true today. If you have a legit case like the guy above you will win, doesnt matter how much money they have, all it takes is some minor research into the statutes and legislation, which in this case I've done for you, some evidence gathering, and the ability to speak. Also the tribunal is the peoples court, so solicitors aren't allowed, which means money isn't an issue again.

It's a sticky'd thread.
