Hi, me driving a EK auto also have some problems when I am accelerating. Dunno whether related. Also, at low speeds without pressing the accelerator, I can hear crackling sounds like if you are travelling too slow in a high gear in a manual car.

My previous 2k1 civic's CVT was fine. Maybe, I have not floored it enough..

you mean you switched from an ES to an EK? Anyway, I have to admit, I know next to nothing about autos, except for the ability to repeat what my auto friends complain about [:)]

yup, the ES took care of me and my wife when we slammed into a tree 2 months ago. I can't stand the idiot that came out of a slip road and immediately came into the 2nd lane of a 3 lane main road.

Thanks, we are both fine. I guess the airbags do work. Dunno what would happen if I was driving a car without airbags.....

 

Anyway, the car is being scraped, repair would cost abt $30K according to KM. About a month later, i bought myself an EK, fully loaded with orig accessories.

Wow, important thing is that you are both fine, and with an equally (if not more) nice car to drive around :)

 

I'm curious, did insurance cover the total loss? And did you manage to nail the person who caused the accident in the first place? shoulda just rammed him, after all, a car moving in the same direction as you is always softer than a tree...

Yup, I regret not ramming into the bxxxxxd's right side but it happened too quick and it was just a reflex action. Next moment we hit the tree in the middle divider.

 

Sure, I got the guys details and it was a 27 year old chap driving your dad's car. Luckily he did not run away, otherwise I will hunt him down like a dog.

 

China Insurance paid me for the total loss since i had to report to them. But I think i made a mistake. Becos now, although the accident was not caused by me, nobody wants to insure me???!!!!

 

I got 82K for a 6 month old VTi auto with leather seats and new 16" Honda rims.

Very sim tia ................ Bought at about 90.5K.

Ok... at least that guy still not heartless!! Think u would need China Insurance to successfully claim back from the other guy's insurance company... then u'll be ok liao.....
