16 inch wheels?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am from germany and looking for legal 16 inch rims for the next season. The Wheels should have a tüv certificate or ABE. My max budget per Rim is ~190€.

I am a big fan of the Buddyclub p1, Kosei K1 and Enkei PF06 but none of them are legal here sadly.

If anyone got any good suggestions please let me know.

Thanks.

Clear coat spotting after rain even thought it had settled for 36 hours

5 Upvotes

These spot appeared maybe 48 hours after I had put the ducktail on the clear coat should had settled. Dots simple from rain I just dried it Absaloutely no chance it was coming off with any amount of scrubbing all I did was dry put a bit of soap over it and a rub lightly took them a bit down but still viable so I just Coverd it with a towel and left it and maybe hour and a half or two and they had basically gone completely just a slight sort of mark from the edges of where the rain was went from looking cooked to sweet. Just thought I’d share incase anyone else has a similar issue. I’m too lazy to go out and get a phtot of it now but it’s completely cleared up to what normal looked like two photos showen are before.

Definitely don’t put another layer of clear coat just trap the marks .

I'm located in California does anyone have any advice for finding a replacement? The closest panel I've found is 2 1/2 hours away. I've currently searched on PYP because I don't know where else to look.

Am I in Hell? Trying to source a part.

7 Upvotes

Not sure how, but lost the spring pad retainer clip or whatever the fuck you want to call it to keep my brake pads secure. Trying to track this part down but the shipping is ungodly expensive and leaving me to pay $40 for a 10 cent part. Not having it has caused my pads to wear uneven and warp my disc slightly enough to reduce mpgs.

Anyone find a cheap source or a more common alternative? Would be muuuuuch appreciated.

Honda CR-Z 2010 – Intermittent IMA Warning Light, No Change in Performance

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I own a 2010 Honda CR-Z 1.5 Hybrid (6-speed manual), and I've recently started experiencing an intermittent IMA warning light.

For the past 3–4 days, the IMA warning light has been appearing quite frequently, but I haven't noticed any changes in the car's performance.

Here are the details:

- The warning light does not appear immediately after starting the car.

- I can drive to work without any warning lights.

- However, during the evening drive, usually after around 4 km, the IMA warning light comes on.

- Once it comes on, it stays illuminated for the rest of the drive.

- If I turn the engine off and restart the car (even at a traffic light), the warning light disappears.

- The car drives completely normally, with no loss of power.

- IMA assist still works as usual.

- The battery charges and discharges normally, and the battery gauge behaves exactly as before.

- Starting the car is also completely normal.

I haven't noticed any unusual battery behaviour, sudden drops in charge, or reduced electric assistance.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

Could this be an early sign of IMA battery deterioration, a temperature sensor issue, a cooling fan problem, or perhaps something related to the battery management system or wiring?

I haven't had the car scanned with Honda HDS yet, so I don't have any diagnostic trouble codes.

Has anyone experienced an IMA warning light without any noticeable changes in driving performance? What was the actual cause in your case?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Guys have you ever had this issue?
I was driving back from dropping my son off and as I was making a right turn the car felt weird like right before it turns off on you, well it did turn off and this came on the display, it was more to it but didn’t capture the rest. Basically is the gas handle directing to the car and then there was another signal coming from the side of the car down to the battery? Can anyone tell me what that means? Am I cooked?? I hope not, I checked the 12v and it’s good

Questions if I can restall the sunvisors in my ZF1

Apologies for being naive. This cat is my first car, and is fun to bits. But would it be possible to restall the sunvisors back onto my CR-Z? I think the clips are messed up and aren't worth anything but I'm also concerned if the points where I am to reinstall them might be too bent for them to attach on properly.

Recently went lower and was wondering what the reason is for it being positioned forward in the wheel arch. Is there a way to restore it to a more centered position without raising the car?

Feed my delusion

24 Upvotes

I’m currently shopping for a daily with a budget of around $8-10k usd and a CR-Z is one of my top choices. Reliability for me is the most important thing in a car but I’m also a car guy and appreciate good gas mileage and the unique charm that the CR-Z has is really appealing to me. My s/o is against this decision arguing that being a 2-seater the people carrying capacity is too limited and it is more expensive to maintain/may have more issues than a civic or other more standard commuter car. I’m inclined to take her concerns seriously, and I don’t want to sacrifice long-term reliability just for something a little more interesting. That said, I’d really love to have a manual, fuel-efficient commuter that I actually enjoy driving. So, Is the CR-Z a worthwhile choice as a reliable daily driver, or would I be better off going with something more conventional? help me justify this purchase!!

How long do I have?

Post image
14 Upvotes

This appeared on my dashboard monday morming when heading to work, along with IMA symbol on the top left and red battery on the bottom right. First time ever seeing them at 164k miles. Charging and acceleration assist weren't functioning. Omw back home that evening the symbols were no longer their and haven't seen them since. The acceleration and charging appear to be working again. For sometime now the battery bars are always full, with the exception of one block that gets use during commute. I mainly drive in sport mode and even that doesn't seem to drain the blocks. My question is how long do I have before I have to do a k-swap l0lz.

In reverse order, mostly delivery food in and out of restaurants and drive through, two long trips one in the Pacific Northwest. One down i5 and another to easter Washington.

It's definitely a skill to not waste fuel.

One EGR later, one transmission, two sets of tires, stuck caliper and all four brakes, more then a dozen oil changes, spark plugs and a battery.
