I don't have the minder system, so I can't say for sure. But it does seem to me that unless you follow the minder system to the letter, it becomes pretty much useless. If I am going to do some maintenance items according to mileage, I may as well do them all that way.

Yes, the MM system will reset everything. I started letting it go to 15% each time and it works well for me. That keeps everything in order and allows for my poor memory. If there is something that really bothers me, I'll just take care of it. The cabin filter is the only thing I can think of that I did later than the MM suggested.
 
In the grand scheme of things, letting tire rotation go a few thousand miles longer isn't going to do much harm, IMHO.

I bit the bullet and got the tire rotation done yesterday. I waited 2 h but the service was free at Discount Tire. The wear on the front tires was obviously worse than the rear ones but wasn't bad at all, at least from what I can tell. I drive very gently and don't make sharp turns.
 
My oil life per the minder is at 20%, which's been consisent so far taking ~6500 miles/6 months to get to 20%. I'll change the oil today.

Hi everyone,
Tomorrow I am removing a F22B motor on a 1996 accord LX and installing a 1995 motor from Japan. The Japanese motor doesn't have a sensor on the oil pump. I can't find my Haynes manual which I thought was ok at best. Does anyone know where I can download a good manaul similar to what is used at a dealership? I really don't want to buy another hanynes manual tomorrow. I need to pull the front of this motor apart tomorrow. Can anyone think of anything I should watch out for other than pinning the counter weight.
Be careful if you buy a 1996 Japanese motor. You will end up with a 1994-5 that the supplier changes the oil pump and charges you 200 more. I'm short for time the supplier put the screws to me. After setting the whole thing up a week ago, they waited for me to take the day off drive 50 miles to tell me there is no warranty because I am swapping the pump. I called them from an add on Ebay and they knew this is what I was doing. They wanted 200 more for a 96. After they put me on the spot I said I would take the 96. One of the guys slipped and said there was no time to take one of the motors and install a pump with the sensor.

This is my first post so hello all. This site rocks...
 
Anyways.... I am new to driving and i hope to finallyget my license soon and my first car i would like to buy is a 2003+ accord (i love the redesign+i cant afford a 2008 )
 
Anyways.... I am a big dude.... 5'7 and about 280 pounds (im working on that)
 
Is this car very roomy for a big person? If possible anyone have first hand experience? I have not gotten a chance to try one but if anyone out there has, pls let me know? I would highly appreciate it.
 
I am really thinking hard at the Accord2003+ or a CRV
 
Ive also been eynf the Honda Fit.. but i guess that car is probably too small and its better for a thin person

I am getting a knocking noise in the middle of the front end of my car. When I turn to the left the noise gets worse. I have replaced both drive axles and I am still getting the noise. Would bad bearings in the wheel where the drive axle connects cause this noise? Would the bearings in the intermediate shaft between the drive axle and where it connects to the manual transmission cause this noise?

Maybetie rod ends? At that age and mileage, could be a lot of things.
 
Best bet is to have it all checked out by a good suspension guy.

two questions
- What is a SE? How it is different from EX and LX? Is it difficult/expensive to get parts for this Special Edition ?
- How much should I pay extra for accord that has honda certification?

SE stands for special edition. It is very similar to the EX in that it has a sunroof, auto door locks/windows ect. The LX however does not have a sunroof but still does have auto door locks/windows. DX model is the one that has no auto door locks nor auto windows ect. Basically an SE model shouldnt be harder to get parts for. A lot of parts can be used for the EX,SE and LX. When you get into electronic parts ie ECU, or SRS unit then you get a little more specific. Other than that it isnt a big deal.

I don't know which year you're talking about; for the 2003-2007 that's incorrect.
 
In the 2003-2007 models, the Accord SE adds to the LX model a 6-CD changer, carbon-look interior trim, alloy wheels, 4-wheel discs with EBD. There is no moonroof on the SE. The EX adds a moonroof, aluminum-look trim, heated exterior mirrors, and a couple of other doo-dads for the interior.
 
Hope this helps.
