Serious repair probs.

AkinaGod · 02-25-2008, 04:40 PM

I have an 02 Civic si hatcback. EP3. Ill get right to it.
Front end is pulling VERY badly to the right. Several alignments done, no visiable strut and bar damage, wheels are not wobbling, tire preasure good, stock wheels, same tread all around. Can't figure out why it is pulling and need serious help quick because I have other repairs to do to the body and want the car to stear straight without problems before I repair the body.

Another problem I am having is when I let the car warm up and drive it, Ill come to stop lights and you can hear a thumping or thudding sound like rythmic every two - four seconds. Sometimes it will do it twice in a row and wait for a couple seconds. Exhaust isn't hitting anything and my car does this at idol, any other time I can't tell. Nothing is in the back. All stock back there.

I need some repairs done to my body in Reno Nevada. If you know a good reliable cheap place to fix body work in the Carson city and Reno area, please let me know. I am looking for good LED or HALO aftermarket black housed tail lights to replace the ones I got. Need a good place to buy them as I checked google, ebay, and a couple main Honda dealers. Can't seem to find anyone that isn't charging an absurd price... or that look good for that matter.

Hmmm.. Anything else... ummm... Also I need a good place to redo the dash as it seemed to have warped some how. The bottom is coming apart and the clips don't want to match up. I got to do some real work on this as cheap as possible. I don't mind doing it myself but may need some assitance and or walk throughs. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

You say you need other body work done.... has the car been wrecked? If so, was the frame checked out afterwards?

The frame is fine. A gate fell on the back smashing the left rear light. Had nothing to do with the problem as the problem was there before the gate fell.
