    Hondas Suck!!!!#$^&

    Never buy a Honda. They're good on gas milage and thats it. They're slow, ugly, and one heck of a pain in the ASS to work on. The engineers would have made a car half as light if they didn't have so many damn screws! I swear I have a cup FULL of screws for just the fenders and front bumper... which gets me to my point...


    TO REMOVE THE HEADLIGHTS (get this) YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE FRONT END!!! Bumper/Fenders/Grill for headlights.

    I actually like working on Hondas in the bodyshop. They're pretty straight forward usually. Toyotas are my favorite, they were just made to be taken apart and put together. BMWs are pretty friendly too.

              I run a Honda Specialist, and my tech's can strip a front end in twenty min. Even a full timing belt, water pump, seals, drive belts job will get finished in 55-70 min, and you can still charge 4.2 hr labortime.

              I <3 Hondas, they make me lots of money.....

                I'm happy now. Just had to vent a little on that asian machine. There were a lot of screws, but they're all accounted for and back in place.

                      A 1990 toyota corrola (geo prizm) was actually probably my worst enemy. All the motor mounts were..how do I say it..melted on, Inaccesible, and IMPOSSIBLE to get to. Also, the only reason I was removin em is to get the tranny out for a nice clutch swap, but for some odd reason, when putting em back on, two out of 5 didnt align. I almost killed it. Dead.

                        And this would be why my cars never go to a shop for mechanical repairs.

                          I HATE!!!! that thing with a passion, and it's not just E30s, that bolt sucks on an E46.

                            I can only imagine. I was lucky b/c that was the easiest for me. It was already out of the car ;).

                              Hey it's my job, as in employment, and if my sales skills were not used for me to get a paycheck to do the things I want to my e30 and buy groceries.
