My civic's engine blew up Part 2

[panda[cRx]]

lol forgetting a few points there dr honda. the oil was overfilled and he's run into water with his CAI. that doesn't even take in to account how hard he may have been driving it. i don't know bobsan but like dc2dc2dc2 i have also heard a few things

and dr honda why would you suggest it's a thai build quality issue? if so wouldn't the same thing be happening to stock civics out there?

[DR HONDA]

I must have not read half the thread. If hes sucked water in then case closed. Over filled oil level depending on how much will not kill it either.

I asked honda a while ago, and they said you can modify the car, as long as you do not touch any sensors. Headers are a no, no... but a Cat back should be fine, as it's after any sensors.

Intakes however are most likely going to void the warrenty.

This sucks for you man... I hope it goes well.

[VTECMACHINE]

CAI and Exhaust shouldnt kill a HONDA engine but then again the THAI product is showing its true colours.

The engines and drive train are made in Japan, then exported to Thailand and assembled there. so effectively it's Japanese made, Thai assembled.

[markCivicVti]

I still want to know how deep the supposed offending puddle was... how sure are you that his CAI did suck in water?

(what a useless thread)

[Bob san]

But i know of people who have seen you drive
and they say you are not exactly 3rpm shift type.

you know ppl who seen me drive? or u know pp who know how i drive? if u know me then u know i take care of my car. so don't go around saying u know how i drive if u don't even know who i am personally.

and yes marcivicvti, thankyou for actully taking your time and reading on what this thread is about. i don't remember any actul effects of water going into the pod, but as u know this is a internet forum so ppl are gona say alot of stuff based on what they think is right. for i care i can tell honda i straped a big T88 turbo to the car, its up to them to tell me why and how the engine failure occrued. which to this day i have seen yet to see any proper report issued by honda.

and yes this thread is going nowhere, thanks to those who come and start posting who no understanding of the situation and don't even bother reading the thread from the start.

u know how we save 10% for the importing fees or wateva.. for them to send it to thailand then send it to australia.. how many of us would rather pay that little extra and have ur honda straight from japan? your really still generalising that if you have a cia you revv ur engine..thats just the dumbest thing ive ever heard.. just think mate.. use ur brain..

[T-onedc2]

i thought hondas liked a rev, this sounds like terrible luck mate, i have skipped through most of the thread, but bloody bottom line should be you buy the car to use it, not baby it. so honda should base their bloody warranty on if everyone redlined the things every day.

i certainly know i do.

on a brand new engine under 3000km on the clock? Coz that's a problem

Th dumbest thing you've ever heard is true for the majority of modifiers

Funny that i just got back from the factory in thailand and watch them grind there own engine components. Engines are made from core steel/alloy at the factory. Get your facts right champ.

15000 already

Dr Honda, surely its the same as having BMWs and VW's made in South Africa... i havent really had any problems with the civic.. but i sure was sketchy about buying something from thailand.

however this seems to be one of those one in a million things.... so unless a lot of other engines start failing i doubt being made in thailand is really an issue!

sorry for being a lazy bastard, but was anything proven to cause this specific screwup of the engine? water getting in? was that it?

[destrukshn]

obiviosly you work for honda... its easy for you to say since its not your car.

obviously you nor honda don't give a rat's ass about their customers well being, only about revenue and profits. every since this incident happen, i had to quit my job, my parents had to buy another daily car. and did honda give a crap about all this? Nope. Offer any kind of solution to solve this problem? Nope.

their solution? point the finger at the stupid kid who modded his car. they must be thinking 'this little kent modded and blew up his own car, lets milk him for all his worth'. and they truly expect him, a 21year old struggling uni student to cought up 11g on his own. hows that for common sense?

do you even know why i left the car in the dealer? if i towed it back out do u think they are gona to let me tow in back in? and hows paying $420 for their 'diagnosis' of the engine problem, when they even havn't determined if it was under warranty or not?

when you buy a new car from them, they promise you the world. try go back to them with a problem, and they don't even want to know you.

your personal life, not their problem, don't even know why you mentioned that.
lol.
