Does your Civic sound like THIS?

si_civic · 12-22-2006, 08:50 PM

I noticed Honda replaced their starters they've had for YEARS and YEARS with these new ones. I don't like how they start a cold engine.

IMO, this sounds like our cars now when you start them, doesn't it?

+1 me too over and over and over.....my 06 sounds nothing like that.....but it does take quiet a few turns to get it started....that i don't like

SacrificeTheory · 12-23-2006, 07:48 AM

My 07 does not sound like that. That sound clip sounds like Flipper got caught in the engine. Probably a joke thread.

Funny! Now you have to find out, is it possessed by the Herbie kind of ghost or the Christine kind?

***Chase*** · 12-23-2006, 08:49 AM

whoa, there goes 5 seconds of My life I will never get back, why do people post such worthless shit? maybe I am ****** up? Did I miss something?

MutantCheese · 12-23-2006, 09:03 AM

My 06 EX started with 2 turn overs everytime. My 06 takes 3 to start. I just think about it like trying to wake up a supermodel, which I would imagine would take a little more effort, but once awake, is worth the wait.

It probably took you longer to post that message then it did to watch the video......

.....go figure.....

si_civic · 12-23-2006, 09:50 AM

^ hahaha. funny funny skittles.

This is a joke, hence why it's in the water cooler. My car sounds like this because it is cold where I live, so obviously if you ever started a car in the cold the tone of the starter goes deeper. It seriously sounds like a clown laughing. At least 6 cranks then starts.

Old Honda starters were so much better in terms of starting. These new ones suck.

Si-aficionado · 12-23-2006, 10:02 AM

he he he...oh man that was funny

but definately love the nice rumble that follows..
