Replying to: ranger10 (Jul 30, 2006 9:54 am) I installed a Dynamat Hoodliner in the engine bay to reduce engine noise, and Dynamat Original in all four doors and on the underside of the rear shelf of my 2005 Civic EX Sedan. The hoodliner did reduce engine noise to a certain extent, but not dramatically. One the other hand, the Dynamat in the doors made a huge difference. I would definitely recommend that you do that first. I have not installed any soundproofing in the trunk. I have also considered pulling up the carpeting and installing Dynamat Tac Mat on the floor. If you ever do this, please let know what results you get. Thanks, and good luck. David

Replying to: civicex05 (Jul 31, 2006 8:04 am) I also found this link, if you're interested...http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/conclusion/ This guy likes Second Skin, but mainly because of expense. Was it difficult to do the doors? How long did it take you? Did you consider doing the wheel wells also? When I get around to doing this, I'll post my results here.

Replying to: ranger10 (Jul 31, 2006 9:32 am) I actually had a friend at a local stereo shop install it for me. I think it took him about an hour for each door, but he does have lots of experience. You'd better plan on spending a full day with it. There's some good information for installation on Dynamat's website, and on Crutchfield's website. I never considered doing the wheel wells, but if you do that, let us know the results. Thanks. David |

Hello everyone, I just spent over 780.00 on trying to get my check engine light to go out on my subj Civic. The final answer is "you have a bad computer" and to replace will cost 980.00. Well, if they ran diagnostics on it in the first place to correct a temperature Hi/Lo sensor and a transmission part (which makes the car run excellent now) how can that be. I found one on e-bay with 40K miles on it, but the numbers do not match up. I own a car made in Japan, with a JHMED VIN... it ststates on the computer: 37820-PM5-A550 601-139748 8 B with a manufacture date of 87-12-24 Many are available, I am hearing that any from the 88-91 years will work. will it be compatable? Cost for the computer is less than 100.00. Is this something I can just swap out myself? I bought this car new in 1988, it has over 178,000 miles, it drove me to 5 ships and 5 shore stations and will be featured in my retirement ceremony after I get to 25 yrs in the Navy. Everyone hates it but I loove it. It is my baby blue car! Happy thanksgiving! Kevin, Senior Chief, Unitied States Navy |

Hello, I am looking for any kind of help or suggestions that I can get. My 98 has recently been giving me problems. It looks as if the battery is going. But we have checked that and it seems to be fine. I will be driving and the whole thing will shut down [no sputtering just shuts down]. I will try to start it back up and I get nothing. It wont even turn over. The radio and the clock have reset [which is what led me to believe that it was the battery]. Once I jump start the car it works just fine. This has happened about 3 times now, and seems to happen when I am low on gas. I am not out of gas.. just on the low side. Which makes no sense. And I dont see how the two can be related, unless it is just some sort of freak accident. Also, and I have no clue if this is part of the same problem.. I will drive my car for quite a while [ about an hour drive seems to be where this happens].. and then stop somewhere. If I get back in my car to start it up with in 15 min.. it will not start. But if I let it sit there for about 30 min or longer it will start up just fine. Someone suggested starter for the second problem, but I have nothing on the first. I will take any suggestions that I can get [besides just taking it to the junk yard, as many have suggested already]. Thanks!!

Replying to: pulgo (Nov 28, 2006 8:50 pm) Here's a link to the same discussion that goes directly to the last page: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef337c8/. It's probably easier to start there. |
