also honda doesnt try to get out of warranty, they replaced my window and my engine mount even after looking at my coilovers and engine mods. the window broke according to honda, cos the coil-over was way too hard. they did question whether or not i race my car cos of the mods but stil, they did replace it in the end. the discussion only lasted bout 15mins before they agreed to fix it so yeh. don't know where half you guys get your info from

If this is true you are very lucky indeed, if it were at my old dealer one look and we'd price you up on the cost of replacement instead of a warranty job

11 grand is alot of money for an engine but I would have to agree with the decision the Dealership/Honda Australia has decided. Anything you do that has a direct effect on the damaged item would void the warranty. Warranty only covers defects in manufacturing and workman ship. I think you should stop bagging Honda as you are clearly at fault and your story is very one sided. Look around and see how many fd civics there are on the road, yet its only your motor thats blown. It has to tell you something.

I agree with you. i knew my chances were slim when claiming but i accepted that it was my fault. it was only a bonus that they covered it. thats not to say they were all smiles when doing it either.

But yes, unfortunately Honda (and all other car companies) will try and get out of honouring their warranties as much as possible, and because of the mods - they had it sort of easy.

=\

It was just a basic post

I could have totally owned him and you for that matter, so stfu

i'm looking at this from a broad prospective, looking at both sides

the girl in question is just whining like a Thai ladyboy

and what the **** do you know about this situation

all you know is what you read here and its only his side of the story, have you heard Honda's side of the story yet???

I feel sory for bob san.
I read his old posting about how proud he was owning honda. He even went through great effort putting sound deadening and all sort of other stuff on his car.
Truly enthusiast

It's tough luck to get an engine blow up. It really really really really is.

After reading this thread, I have no idea what it is all about.
From my point of view, it's better to make the most of what you have now.
I believe one or two thing can be done with the car. The whole car is fine, apart from blow up engine and few scratches. The scrathes are not biggi really. You can drive the car with them

, can't you?

About the engine. Is it 100% unrepairable? I believe there is a lot of expert in this forum who can offer their advice and opinion. Can the piston be replaced?, how about the block? It may work out cheaper to repair it, rather than getting new one.

So think about a new chapter of your car

This is my opinion, but feel free to pursuit Honda for fixing it up.

yes. im not angry about this anymore. so over it. its time to move on. time to get the R i'd always wanted...

thanks for all the comments guys. im getting my car fixed soon and lets just say its not gona be a 11g job.

well ive already learned that this is all just a phase i have to go through in life. SXXT happens.

and the engine its probably a write off. i don't know for sure what happened and what parts from the engine are missing.since honda didn't even bother telling me what they removed from my engine.

ive had mecahnics looked at it and it would probably be cheaper to replace it then to fix it.
