#51 of 1193 Parking Brake Usesage by kero1 Jul 19, 2006 (4:46 pm)
I want to add that it's important to use the parking break normally as for people with non disc brakes in back, it helps keep the drum brakes adjusted so that they contact the drum when you brake. It also keeps the parking break working for a long time as people who don't use their parking brake for a long long time, then go use it and it can freeze in place and never work again. Not freeze from cold but freeze as the jacket the cable sits in has a lubricant that needs to be worked every so often.   Self adjusting brakes or not, my wife's 05 corolla needed the back drum brakes adjusted because she does not use the parking brake (she does now) and when I had the tires rotated my mechanice noticed how out of adjustment the back brakes were. The car was almost not using the back brakes at all. When he fixed the adjustment the car stopped much quicker. Now that she uses the parking brake regularly, the problem has never returned.

Replying to: targettuning (Jul 08, 2006 7:50 am) You should defintely not remove or reverse the head restraints. Keep playing around with them. They were uncomfortable to me at first but now they are fine.   If you really need a change, you can swap them out for an 06 Accord headrest. They fit and don't protrude quite as far forward. I can't vouch for their safety in a Civic.   I actually purchased one with my Civic but it is in my closet collecting dust. I never used it.   Mcap

Replying to: psy (Jul 07, 2006 1:37 pm) My Honda also has a miss which the dealer is claiming that it is a "design characteristic" of the car. They came to that conclussion after noticing the only other 5spd they had on the lot also had a miss in it. I would love to know what your dealer found that my couldn't so they can fix the problem.

Replying to: jcoats1 (Jul 24, 2006 11:51 am) "A design characteristic" ? Yeah sure, Honda has finally gone out of their way to "engineer in" an engine miss. Even though I own a 2006 Civic and I am not totally happy with the experience that comment is a joke. Thankfully mine does not miss.
