Apart from keeping the environment clean, has no advantages to the engine. Actually reduces engine performance by restricting exhaust flow.

Once again a partially correct Google answer which I have also previously addressed on NL. I suggest you do a little more research. Maybe also gain a little more practical experience. Look at my old posts on the topic and you will see where your answer is incomplete.

Tah, tah cool

Please guys what's your opinion about this oil? Is it recommended? The vehicle I want to use it on is the 2003 honda pilot.

I saw a tokunbo Honda civic 2007, fall in love with it, the price is within my budget, after some research as usual i found out that it's also cheap to maintain like my previous corolla 05. And also fuel efficient and no leg issues like Accord. But the set back is that it's too low to the ground considering 9ja road factor. Can i buy a big tyre or is it advisable to raise the car? Please your opinions

Am using the same model buy bigger tyre like 195/17 . though am using 205/ 16 but am planning to change anytime I want to buy another tyre . let others contribute . if you want to enjoin that car use the AC always and tint the glass .

IMO. It's a lot easier and cheaper to take the bulb out if the light is worrying you grin
Please i need your recommendation for my accord 2010. I want to change the head lamp bulbs to these modern brighter led ones. But u dont know what to check for on AliExpress. Please. If you have any idea on what to search for online. Cause i want to get it myself. The local prices here are too high. And I’ll prefer ordering and fixing it myself here. So please. What brand or make. Or type should i look for. I keep seeing diff types with fan and without fan. I await your response.

Good evening house.
I need some expert opinion on my Honda Civic 07. I noticed a sluggish acceleration when AC is on, especially when moving from a stop. Also the speedometer doesn’t seem to show the true speed value. I can be driving on the expressway on full speed, the speedometer will be around 50-60km/h.
I have 2 faults codes relating to faulty o2 sensor and ECT sensor which I’m yet to fix.

What could be the cause of the sluggish acceleration and speedometer?

hello Honda elders,

Please I need advice on my 06 TSX. The front suspension is messed up I want fix it to top working condition. The other day one of the axles came apart.

My main concern is getting fake Chinese knockoffs that wouldnt last or function properly.

So please help with the discription/price/location to get fantastic OEMs of basically the axles, suspension springs, stablizers and may be even brake pads...

thank you.

This is outside my area of expertise as it's more of customization thing. I stay away from things like this. I'm guessing you want HID bulbs with ballad resistors though. Check youtube you should have detailed videos there that tell you everything you need and how to do it.

Good morning house. Greetings to all the bosses. Please I need some expert opinion and advice on my Honda Accord 2007 3.0 V6 model before I go visiting my Kazeem.

A friend of mine was test running the car and literally floored the accelerator from stand still, we noticed a serious lag in time engaging from first gear to the next as the car accelerated. When I drive normally I don't feel the delay in engaging gears but when I floor the accelerator, it moves but lags like 3 to 5 seconds before engaging the next gear, what could be the problem?

The gear is working perfectly. When you’re driving slowly the gear changes as at when due but when you’re driving like you stole it the gear will maximize each gear selection to squeeze out the maximum amount of horsepower available before it switches to the next.

Thanks boss! I guess I have nothing to worry about. I had never floored an accelerator to the max before until my friend did it and complained and i tried it myself too. I guess I have nothing to worry about

Good day good people,

The gear stick on my 2007 Accord is strong. Selects well, you just have to apply a bit of force to move it around.

Has been like this for over a year.

Advices please.

Accompanying symptoms?
An obvious vibration of the car when the car transmission is in D with AC on but car is on standstill. For example when I’m traffic and gear is in D with AC on car vibrates aggressively.
Vibration disappears once car starts moving

all codes point to electrical check required. Surprised it is not cutting off. Camshaft code is the major culprit. check wiring. Maybe loose or cut somewhere. If not, ECM.

Where is your workshop? My technician doesn’t know all these, his first point is to start pricing sensors and heater wires. Which from my little research on the web shouldn’t be the first resort.

Check your engine seat(s).
Would inspect them, though I changed one recently. I also believe a faulty engine seat should make the engine vibrate or shake on rough roads too. Car runs smoothly on rough roads even with AC on, vibration starts once you stop with foot on brake while Drive and AC are both engaged, vibration stops once I shift to neutral or park even with AC engaged

Hello Experts,
I just bought a Nigeria Used Honda Civic 2001 with mileage 207k. However, this is my first car and I know nothing about cars aside from what I read here online.

Please recommend a Honda Specialist in Ibadan (where I reside) where I can do complete checks and maintenance on my Honda Civic 01. Thanks
