Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 30, 2007 3:12 pm) Warped rotors can be dangerous in a panic stop from high speeds, especially if the warping is severe. Your brakes are only being applied for part of each wheel rotation, only at the high spot of contact, resulting in longer stopping distances. It can cause some damage or premature wear to the brake system, but most importantly it can cause a safety issue due to loss of control and full stopping power at freeway speeds, and can cause the anti-lock braking system to not work correctly. Severe vibration can damage or cause premature wear to the brake system. The damage can be progressive as the warped rotor wears unevenly as it rubs against the brake pads. |

Replying to: mamamia2 (Apr 01, 2007 2:42 pm) The noise is mainly at 10 miles/hr when I apply the brake. I am worried about damaging rotor/caliber if I keep driving.

Replying to: freeflight (Apr 01, 2007 11:56 am) Haven't priced out a brake job on Hondas (mine has only got 17K), but $45 to check them and $190 to replace pads seems a bit steep. Pretty much every garage can do a brake job.

| At 97,000 miles I decided it was time to change the spark plugs. Went to the dealer and was a bit surprised to be told they were $18 each. Bought them anyway and easily swapped them out. Posting this for anyone who hasn't changed plugs yet, but intends to. By the way, the old plugs looked to be in very good shape. | |

Replying to: exshoman (Apr 02, 2007 4:14 am) Isn't it too fast to use 60% of brake pads in 16,000 miles?

Replying to: boglepaul (Apr 02, 2007 7:11 am)  . Yes, the Honda doesn't need a tune-up for 105K. However, I believe that the tune-up refers to spark plugs. I don't believe that the timing belt is considered a tune-up item. |

Replying to: boglepaul (Apr 02, 2007 7:11 am) If you are at 70k on a 60k belt, get it changed now, you're operating on borrowed time!
