| A lot of the repairs were done under warranty, but i am still having a problem with some thing that isnt listed,in the time i have owned the car,i have replaced the ignition coil 5 times and they are not cheep at 200 a pop. the steering is a pain but an easy fix for a bushing on the right side, minus the stiff lock up steer that i think comes with the honda civic si engine first went at 60.000 km and now it has 170 on the odometer and went today, not sure what im gonna do,try and do warranty on it or fix it my self and have it done right.... the brakes are the pits on these cars? front. you get brake fad going down a steep hill and kiss your ass good bye, to solve the problem went to cross drill rotors and a course brake pad for the front, the rear brakes never adjust themselves, and wear out fast. the transmission 5 gear sucks to low and makes the revs go way too high, the second gear syncro is bad, paint is bad. flakes off almost like what the old chevys do. power sun roof is failing some times you have to crank it back by hand to close. other times the motor works...had to replace the computer once got it from an auto wrecker.. | |||
