    Warranty Question, Chipping Paint

    A car should not have paint issues without waxing to that degree. Unless you know you put the car through abuse that caused that I would take it to the dealer. The small and many scratches can be argued as abuse but the big ugly stuff in the back looks to me like a defect.

    Warranty Question, Chipping Paint

    I would check if you are on the VIN list for the paint recall they have. I got a letter as well regarding a paint issue and a 7 year extended warranty for that. Logging in to your Honda account should tell you that as well. In my case i have no issues except a small chip or too on the hood from...

    Honda dealerships carry Honda branded weathertecs and usually some discounts exists if you bought the car there.

    17" winter wheels and tires

    US made means no import taxes as well for Canada. Pretty cool. I wish they had the Nokians in their comparison charts.

    17" winter wheels and tires

    Canadian/Ontario winters tend to have more snow than ice though and on ice you slip considerably no matter what unless you go studded which is not legal in Ontario unless Northern Ontario. So narrow would make more sense though less nice looking.

    17" winter wheels and tires

    As everybody says smaller diameter and narrow is better but 17s should do fine as well. Maybe a bit more slipping on ice and snow than 16s or 15s. I would advice to go for the Nokian Hakkapelitas really worth the money and not much more expensive than the competition. I am really impressed with...

    Got a chance to help out with a Civic team in the Conti Sports Car Series

    Lots of nice cars and pics! I clearly like the Honda but that Aston Martin looks pretty nice as well.

    Oil Change - Maint Minder vs Miles

    One thing I learned is that although i trust the minder and the long life of the modern oils they do say not go more than 12 months with it. Manual states the same so if you do low mileage in a year change it before the year passes. I am in this case and did not wait to see what the minder would...

    "Flippable" tires

    I think even the symmetrical thread pattern is directional in the examples provided. Put a left on the right and they won't be pushing water and debris away properly from under the tire. If you do it for all I guess it will be balanced just poor performance overall. Never tried it myself to be...

    2014 Corvette Stingray vs 2014 Camaro ZL1

    I would go with the Vette based on looks and more of a racing pedigree. Camaro for me is more of a muscle car which also great but not a precision machine, talking image wise. Numbers suggest this one is a finely tuned racing beast as well. The Camaro is taller even if maybe same low center of...

    Battery Recall!!!!!

    My 2012 Si starts well at -28 C with only half second delay. I only drive it 5 miles one way to work so not a lot of charging. That makes me think it is a VIN range issue than a general one. I also checked my VIN at http://www.honda.ca/recalls and it says no recalls available. Curious what...

    Forza 5 / Xbox One

    How does it fare compared with iRacing? I keep reading that Forza 5 has much better physics and tire physics now but did not try it yet so I am really curious. The prev gens of Forza I did not find very realistic from the handling perspective although they look great and sound good.
