Hi,

First, I just bought this 93 coupe Si and i just wanted to know where i can get my car tuned up pretty good in a pretty good price? Second, under my carpet on the driver side (front & back) is always wet. Is there any way where i could get it fick and get my carpet change cuz this one smells like poop...lol

Thanks

Why dont you take it to Honda so you know you're getting good service...

You get what you pay for so dont be cheap when it comes to your car.

honda dealerships are just as much crooks as your local shop... halton honda told me i needed a new alternator about 3 years ago... still using the one they said was broken

check out the affiliates on here cause they will all be reputable shops

a lot of dealerships are crooks...unless your pretty handy with a wrench, just get the OEM parts you need and put them on yourself. Then you learn about your car.

or if your not the DIY type of person. check out the affiliates as Rick stated...

theres one near my place which he said that he will change the gas filter, distributor, spark plug, gasket, etc.. which cost 250 including labor...hhmm..

A fuel filter is easy to change, same with sparkplugs. A distributor cap with somewhat harder. ie label plug wires

gasket? The valve cover... too easy
Adjusting valves? Well that can be a tough one for a beginner.


Note: A Honda dealership messed up an oil change on my SiR. I would except that sort of mess up from some stoner kid @ jiffy lube. Basicly I would avoid the dealership for any work that needs to be done.

Simple tune up stuff can be done with a repair manual, basic automotive tools, Honda OEM parts, and a hopefully sunny Saturday afteroon.

Well..if some1 here knows how to completely do a good tuned up on my car then i might get it tuned up for that person, which i hope its cheaper...lol

I can do it for you. If you seriously want to learn how to do it, I'll show you, and I won't charge you anything.

imported_SpitFire

sure y not..i am always willing to learn something new..I used to have a 94 Honda Accord ExR but now i have a 93 Si Coupe..btw wat do u mean by "I won't charge you anything."?

dee123

instead of you paying me to do it, i'll show you how to do it and it won't cost anything.

imported_SpitFire

hhhmmm....

how about alignment, brakes, n those stuff???

dee123

brakes, yes. alignment,no. You need an alignment rack to do it properly. I don't care how many ppl say use the tape measure method, or whatever, it's not right. If you want to seriously learn, pm me.

If you don't mind comming down to see me I can certainly help, although the free offer sounds pretty good, and learning how to do it yourself is good too. My web page is martinobrothers.com, or email me at info@martinobrothers.com. We do alot of work on honda's, mostly body conversions but I also have 2 licenced mechanics who love this stuff. The carpet moisture is pretty common...probably leeking through your firewall, or if you have a sun roof, the drain may be plugged. To come down, hang-out, show you our stuff and advise is free...but please remember, this is our job...not our hobby.. we are proffessionals, we do this for a living for over 50 years. I can help.

So how much excatly would cost me for the change of carpet and maybe a complete tune up?

Do you think you can fix my friends 92 DX HB? He's problem is that the rubber from the winshield and the one in the passenger side is kinda loose??

imported_SpitFire
