Replying to: rsolorio (May 30, 2007 1:43 pm) Now there is a problem with - Steering fluid leak and i just replace the fluid i think my mechanic said it would cost me about $600 or so. - And my car always goes to the left i got a wheel alignment and wheel balancing and rotation but still the same. Wonder if you can help me out with this problem. Thank you, |

Replying to: skinhealer (Jun 03, 2007 6:58 pm) As far as your specific issue, I really can't speak to that cuz I'm not a mechanic, I do Photoshop retouching as my videos would suggest. But get a second opinion if you aren't sure about spending the dough on fixing the car. How's the rest of the car? Does it run well? Is it worth fixing? Is it paid off? All worthy considerations when spending money to fix a car. Roy

Replying to: rsolorio (Jun 03, 2007 8:35 pm) I am just worried about the timing belt, last time i changed it in my nissan at 200K and after that it died at 250K. and all the problems started after the timing belt. i don't mind spending if it is worth it.

Roy, if your 86 Honda is running fine I would reccomend holding on to it! Your car is a wonderful vindication to those who buy their cars based on reliability first, and then drive it until it can drive no more! I would love for you to continue your video casts, say every 5k miles. Let the whole world see how far your baby can go! 550,000? 600,000? More? Another benefit is this: The longer you hold on, the sweeter your next accord will be! In 2009 an Accord Diesel is coming to the US. It will feature a 2.2 liter engine that is the cleanest diesel in the world, and gets 52 mpg combined! And since diesels last longer than gas engines, imagine how far a Honda diesl will go! 1,000,000 miles is not impossible! To the moon and back 2X over! And If your diesel accord out lives you? Then you can pass it on the your kids as a kind of family quest to see how many times to the moon and the accord diesel can drive! Ironically, the most likely limiting agent for such a car would be that in 42 years, 2049, fossil fuels won't be sold anymore. BUT REJOICE! For algea based bio-diesel shall be widely available and so your diesel accord could drive on into the next century!
