Hey, i know i "resurrected" the thread that's old, but this is for the Ottawa people again, or anyone who may know!
Do you happen to know a certified Honda/Acura mechanic in the area...I know you guys might and probably take your NSX's to the dealer, or even do it yourself, but my TL and EL both need to go in for servicing...big ones...the TL has to go in for a SRS light, Timing Belt, Windshield Washer Fluid Light, and stuff, as it hasn't gone in in a while.
The El is just a tune up, which it'll probably go to dealer.
The Civic has the control arms that need to be fixed, the shifter wire is worn and needs to be fixed, and the indoor power locks (the silver button on the driver side to open all the locks) doesn't work.
Yes i realize the TL and Civic REALLY are in bad condition, and trust me, after they go in, i'm going to make sure they go in on time every time. The Civic and TL are my brother in laws and sisters, so i really don't pay attention to it, even though i drive all of them constantly...but i'll start taking care of it like i do the EL.
The only reason i'm asking is because now for the older cars, the dealers are charging and enormous amount, and i understand it's expensive (1100+ for timing belt..) and i mean on the Civic, it's actually cheaper to buy a NEW ENGINE (Integra engine if i want a power boost) with much less mileage and still walk out better than replacing the belt.
So if you guys could help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
(Don't worry, if i were to get an NSX, it would be treated like the EL is mechanically..and better than the EL physically as the we've encountered some serious bad luck with the EL).
Thanks again!
