Hey guys,

So I have an 07 si with 47,6XX miles on it, and today my arm rest COMPLETELY broke. Everything from the black fabric down broke off, so now everything inside my center console is completely visible. the greyish plastic piece in the back is still attached, but is sprung in the up position, and even if put down, springs back up again. everything else is completely un-attached.

When going in and looking at the design, it was found that the plastic there is really poor in quality, and Honda's design actually has two bolts going right through it!

I get that I'm out of warranty, and any repairs would be made in good faith, but at the same time, do I have a decent enough case to call up Honda and ***** that in no way, shape, or form should an entire arm rest completely break off (the plastic snapped) after 3 years/47,6XX miles?!

I feel totally disappointed in the quality of the interior. Has this happened to anyone else? I was unable to pull up the TSBs because the site they're posted on is down, and when I did a search I didn't see anything. I'm pretty much so just wondering if anyone has gone about this in a way where it has been resolved nicely, because when I called my local dealership about it, they were downright rude to me.

Thanks for any and all help!! ]]> jen. http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/226294-help-entire-arm-rest-assembly-broken.html http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/226284-r18-header-testpipe.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:20:13 GMT I installed the testpipe today and I left the lower hole open (where the second 02 sensor on the old cat was) do I need to put in the second sensor (its the hole where the CEL elem goes).or just the CEL elem.`WHICH I DON'T HAVE ITS JUST A HOLE... a buddy said I can't get a bolt 2 fit with a bend @ home depot is this true also?? ]]> 2civic4u http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/226284-r18-header-testpipe.html http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/226275-knock-knock-knock-help.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:46:53 GMT Ok guys so ive read the threads about the bump stops and steering rack problems. not sure if its either. my problem occurs mostly when im crepping along in traffic in a lower gear and sometime while cruising along in a higher gear. when it does it while cruising its more of a consistent knock but... Ok guys so ive read the threads about the bump stops and steering rack problems. not sure if its either. my problem occurs mostly when im crepping along in traffic in a lower gear and sometime while cruising along in a higher gear. when it does it while cruising its more of a consistent knock but not quite as loud. Does this sound like anything anyone has experienced ever? i figure if it was an axle problem it would happen a lot more while the car is in motion and when i turn. and for steering rack i would think id notice more when i turn as well. So idk what it is exactly. I got under it today and looked at the rack. seems to be tight and everything seems to be tight as well as far as suspension, Could it be a bushing ? Any input will be very much appreciated!

EDIT* Theres not knocking while just revving the motor at a stop and it will still pop and knock with the clutch in and/or out of gear (So im ruling the motor and trans out) ]]> k20beast http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/226275-knock-knock-knock-help.html http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/226194-front-end-shaking.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:35:18 GMT Have an 07 si sedan with 26,000 miles.

The steering wheel doesnt shake or vibrate at all but the noise is unbearbly loud and gets louder the faster I go.

So recently I have been getting a terrible smell from my engine bay and have come to the conclusion that it is my clutch. I brought it in to the dealer and they agreed that my clutch was making the smell because it was warn out. I called "bs" because the car has 20,000km on it and I know how to drive a 6-speed so it is not from a driver error this early on into the clutches life.

The dealer ordered the parts and all said and done he said it would be $1500 dollars CDN to replace.

So my questions are this.

1) If he removes the clutch and it isn't a warranty item and I decide not to replace it can they charge me for the time it took to remove it?

2) What could the burning smell be related to? I have absolutely no slipping and haven't noticed the car handling any differently so would it be fine to run the car on this clutch as I figure the only thing that I would be damaging furhter is the clutch itself that needs replacing.

3) $1500!!!! WTF...I figured more like $800-$900. He stated 6 hours for mechanic time. Seems a little high to me. Would I be saving any more by going aftermarket and getting it installed somewhere else?

No we have a drivers side airbag light. I didn't unplug anything. I was looking in the owners manual and it showed 2 impact sensors. I remember seeing one of them and I might have touched it. I don't remember...lol. Could have that caused the airbag light? If I take it into honda will they be able to just reset? It's the one in the pic. Not the one that says "SIDE AIRBAG".

While I was there I also did 3 dyno runs to see the power.

After leaving I noticed a weird smell, but figured it was just the welds burning off. I also noticed my gas seemed to be going quickly, but figured that the dyno had used a lot of fuel.

I filled up yesterday and noticed gas is going very quickly! I'm almost through a half tank and don't even have 75 miles on the odometer.

Car seems to be running good, but it's burning way more gas then normal.



Info on car:
- Go Power 3" Exhaust
- Skunk2 Race Header
- CT-E SRI
- HPS Intake Hose
- P2R Throttle Body Spacer
- Hondata IMG
- Hondata Flashpro (e-tunez, rulo)

Tune hasn't been touched lately, and haven't had any issues before this.

I hit a rock about a month ago and had put a huge dent in my exhaust. It also created an exhaust leak at one of the flanges. Even with the exhaust leak and dent I never had any issues with burning more gas then normal or weird smells. But after having the exhaust fixed the issue seemed to appear.


I don't see any smoke coming out of the exhaust or anything. ALl the sensors are hooked up. When standing over the engine I can't notice any weird smells or sounds.

They are also telling me to buy a new tire and submit a form for reimbersement, which i do not agree with, because if this warrenty doesn't actually exist, then I'm out the cost of the tire and the money I paid for the warrenty itself.
