8th Gen Issues - Shame on you Honda

[Sherweeeny]

my cars a piece of shit, if i accelerate and then let go of the clutch, it spins its wheels and bounces instead of squatting and heading for the horizon. oops

you got low profiles on? wider tyres? let the pressure down a bit

those might help

FWD's don't squat, they scrabble.

sigh! took my car in for its first service today. the 10000km

i had a problem with the right passenger door at the front, it didn't close on first shut 100% of the time and you really had to make sure the door was closed otherwise the car would be wide open.

so they said to me they changed the strikers.. which i believe is a clip of some sort.. anyhow before the service my door sat flush to the car. now its about 5 mm off.. and to most people they wouldn't notice it, but to a car enthusiast who looks after his car meticulously, it stands out a mile :| the lines just arent smooth! :\

argh! effort to go back and get it fixed although i should. this is rather annoying!

pictures

RIGHT side is flush as you can see.



where as the LEFT side is off :\ how gay. believe it or not that left side is shut :|

Ow shit sorry to hear =[. Hate it when you go in to get things done or fixed, and theres just a little bit off that you can't stand =[.. hope it gets fixed soon!

Just adjust the striker, coming from someone who has replaced every one of his doors, it's not hard to adjust.

i think at the start where u had the problem with shutting the door.. i think thats just cabin pressure.. its where all the seals are new and air is trying to escape out the car when u close the door..but pushes the door out... if u know what i mean.. =S

hey guys,

Im starting having problems with the left passenger door handle

Seems stuck sometimes, all my passengers trying to open from the outside think its closed.

Need to get that fixed by honda sometime soon on my next service.

Any had this problem?

Open your door, and you'll see the silver hoop that hold your door closed. (it'll be next to the seat) There will be two phillips head screws holding it (the striker) to the car. Loosen those off, and move them inward slightly, and whalah, doors sit flush.
