So finally my civic masuk workshop already.
Steering rack got sound klack klack on uneven roads. Also if long distance sometimes it will become hard soft and got whinning sound from steering rack.

Actually before that i go test drive a few cars, since i gatal wan change my 25 years old car. Test test, all doesnt really click me. Closest being the emas7 due to smooth powerful ride dan damn good speakers. But EV seems to have erratic dangerous issues such as suddenly all wheels lock, steering died, sudden accelerations etc. very low % but these bugs are a red flag.
So decided dun wan buy car yet, this year i will use my money to expand my business instead.

Then suddenly my car got issue d. I think my baby car merajuk liao alolo. Its ok papa already said not selling u even if buy new car..(for now )


Repair or buy new car?

Civic 25 yrs old consider very lasting

I sappork new car

Tesla model y, this morning go collect with my sis

Comfy and nais.. but a huge car

Cukupla, ur civic bosan with u,need to retire liou

Honda dan steering rack issue berpisah tiada

Decided to not go ev yet unless got big development than maybe consider back. Prefer a reliable car. Also i lagi suka sealion 7.

She will never retire. Once i buy new car, i plan to fully rebuild the car and upgrade engine.

Civic u EK6?

Confirm steering rack issue? How to check or differentiate it with absorber issue?

No la. Civic ES 2001. But already upgraded masuk halfcut dc5 integra type R and modded to 260hp.
Sleeper build, not so bising 2.3inch exhaust lagi. If 2.75 inch power lagi increase according to my tuner but i wan quiet abit.

ask tun m dulu la

penjilat atok

buy new eN1

Unless its two separate issues, quite confirm la.
1. Steering become hard soft sometimes.
2. Steering motor whine
3. Klack klack when road uneven.

Hmm. So how much to repair steering rack? Few k right?

Dafuq man.. Ini bukan thread atok.. X kan I sebagai car enthusiast x bole Tanya ke?

C1bai betul

Not for everyone's even it's kinda syiok but a completely different car

But like technology got money can try

Mechanic recommend replacing it with japan halfcut steering rack. Rm700 only cheap cheap.
Mine dont have new original honda rack anymore, just got new oem.

New civic not so bad actually, tested drive friend punya. Was think about getting either fk7 or fl1 manual, but the price same or much expensive than FD2R so i decided not to. Hence if i really buy either 1, confirm pergi bikin sana sini. Suspension, exhaust system, LSD, turbo kit, wheels, brake kit etc. Sold my car last year, until now still unsure what car i should buy. FD2R not enough cash, lazy apply loan lmao.

What was your previous car?
FD2R convert cheaper hehe.

FD2R still command good resale.. Why not FD2R competitor.. Inspira celup mod Evo with Mivec engine.. Performance x kurang dari FD2R. Nampak garang lagi..

my 19 yo honda, steering rack losak once, leak all the oil out, I went and get another bottle top up and drive to the shop to fix

Convert now ranging 60k to 80k, depend on chassis FD1 or FD2. They also said depends on how many FD2R parts they swapped into, if complete salin CKD then wouldn't be much different, i personally tested 2 in sepang before this and of course ori feels more rigid especially going up to turn 3, turn 9 to 14. My last car is a honda jazz gk5, salin l15b twincam manual before. Repaint the car to white before selling it, no value keeping this because it's not a type r.

Inspira not interested, not saying i don't like the car or what. The car looks great if salin evo x, no doubt about it. But i prefer n/a type r more.

sound like EPS motor issue..

ingat tukang ctrl+c ctrl+v

rupanya bukan bot ya

dah amik duit redah je la

WHY U NO CHILL??

atuk tak kasi banyak duit ke? tanya je

you sudah beli EV? instead of SSD and monitor?

25 years old car....wow. That is already iconic

Your civic 25 years I suggest u keep it

It proven loyalty to you

Sikit problem change parts only la

Nothing catastrophic yet

OEM means the company makes it to supply to Honda. Which means the quality is same as original punya.

Mine not eps. Is hydraulic steering rack

Not me lah I'm poor

Monitor also money how to buy car.. sad

wat civic is 25 years old?

Civic es, 7th generation.

This civic i use 5 years only. Bought second hand than mod mod.

how you change and mod the original chassis dun have the fd2R additional spot welds on the chassis.

Baik look at other cars in the market. WRX kan ada and reasonable pricing nowadays

25 yearsssss???!? My hailaks change steering rack recently. Same issue. less than 4 years @ 90,000km. Though I go offroad average once a month

Yep, if you really want do spot weld around chassis then puspakom might failed your car. Not sure this is true or no, they said if puspakom see welding marks on those area where it shouldn't be weld then terus fail.

Now eyeing for mini cooper S or golf mk7 gti, both also can get below 100k now some more can loan. But then again, lazy apply for loan tbh. See how first...

Repair & expand, expand & expand yr business, until yr business can buy u car as boss.

keep your civic as a weekend car .

get another daily beater car . recommendations? u tell me what u need in a car? want space? or just something that is moving?

Minor problem la.

Steering rack can be rebuilt by specialists here.

Cheaper than taking another loan for a new car. Even new car not guaranteed to be problem free these days.

y u talk cock sing song just now say wan fl1 fk7 now say wan na type r

ES chassis is not that desirable compare to EK9 or even EP3

better to use as a daily runabout, low key and dont attract unwanted attention

fix it until it break down every 2 months.

ride motor no jam, save minyak, save tol. pussy only drive car

Total it and give him a good burial la
With fire will be better

Wan comfort, reliability and space.

Yeah thats my initial intention when i bought this civic. X senang kena curi, low profile. Exhaust also looked almost standard.

All above and also EV ?

try new civic fe see if steering rack issue still persist

All above but dont need EV

corolla cross or wait for yaris cross (not sure when it will ever be released)

HRV has space and plus the tebu power, and decent reliability but comfort and NVH is so so .

other CCP cars nope, since u want reliability . dunwan lu become lab rat.

"y U TaLk COcK SiNg sONg"

See car cannot? Like other car cannot? Even if i buy did i PM you and ask for money? No right? Fucking troll

corolla cross no space la. cramp as fuck.

why not new camry je

Omoda e5 EV promotion 98k
Can drive faster n doesn't cost rm100+k

Even cramp than new alza dunno how they design car looks big but inside very cramp

.

i agree on the EV car getting erratic dangerous issue, i also scared to drive like that...maybe just get another brand that comes with free service for 5 years...
