I've been seen alot of chain tensioners on the K24 become weak with age and lack of oil changes. So I decided I would swap out the tensioner yesterday. It's very easy a straight forward, did it per the service manual (Impossible to mess up seemingly). Drove 200+ miles later yesterday no issues, running like a champ. Was heading home last night, pulled in only to hear what sounded like marbles hitting my valve cover. Immediatly shut her off and pulled the valve cover.

To my amazement there was a TON of slack on the chain, like untensioned. So I ordered a new chain, all the guides and another tensioner from Honda. Pulled her apart this morning and the pics show what I saw. Somehow the guide got under the tensioner and the chain was riding ON THE TIP OF THE TENSIONER. It actually had started eating through my chain cover.

By the grace of God it was still in time, which makes no sense given when I turned the crank to TDC the chain started skipping teeth!

Anyhow I tore it all down, replaced everything. I strained the oil and visually inspected everything, no sign of metal particles or glisten in the oil. She runs like a top again (installing the chain cover sucks with all the Honda Bond btw)

Just thought I'd share, thoughts? Opinions? I did check the oil chain it was worn from rubbing the case, but not stretched... So weird.

I'm thinking the new tensioner had to have failed to ratchet or something and temporarily collapsed allowing the chain to jump the guide.... ]]> 1st Gen - Problems and Fixes wessyk87 http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-problems-fixes/72674-crazy-chain-slip-after-changing-tensioner.html Automatic Connected Car System http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/technology/72666-automatic-connected-car-system.html Fri, 24 May 2013 22:41:11 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=_AyXNeRbpRk

We’re back! After 3 successful years at Downsview Park, it’s time for us to move to a larger location which can house our growing numbers! This year, we’re excited to announce the 4th Annual Fitted Lifestyle event will be at the Brampton Fairgrounds (12942 Heart Lake Rd, Caledon, ON L7C 2J3 Canada) on Saturday May 25, 2013! Located just 5 minutes north of Highway 410, the Fairgrounds provides a larger property with both indoor and outdoor facilities! Rest assured, the roads to the Fairgrounds are smooth and its location is quickly accessible from the Greater Toronto Area!

A larger venue means we can provide a larger event! This year, we are including a Free Indoor RC track sponsored by TBA Apparel, live music from Keep It Live Entertainment’s DJ Woo, an interactive text-to-vote award courtesy of PAS mag’s Tuner Battlegrounds Live, and Food Truck alley served by The Feisty Jack and Smoke’s Poutinerie!

Of course, all our famed Custom Trophies are up for grabs and this year, we’ve added more categories for increased chances to win! Also, every attendee will receive a raffle ticket for free giveaways and prizes. Our sponsors have graciously donated a wide-range of apparel and automotive parts as raffle prizes!

Fitted begins promptly at 11:30am! Please arrive early to secure a parking spot. Each year, attendance has grown and reached capacity so we highly encourage you to plan your cruise appropriately! Peep last year’s Canibeat video for an idea of how quickly attendance builds!

For further encouragement, the FIRST 1000 attendees will receive a free giveaway while supplies last!

Note: Please drive responsibly to the event. Local Police authorities have been informed of our presence so speeding and burnouts will NOT be tolerated.

We’re going to start this season with a bang! Thank you to everyone for the continued support and we’ll see you at the 4th Annual Fitted Lifestyle event!
So anyone from the area going? I'll be driving down... hopefully the weather clears up. ]]> Canada East AndrewCjDuong http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/canada-east/72586-stretch-poke-may-25-a.html New wheels and tires http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-wheels/72578-new-wheels-tires.html Thu, 23 May 2013 23:46:50 GMT Got some new wheels and tires last week.

I was on a budget and couldn't afford $800 - a grand on new tyres, so I did some research and found largely positive feedback on lots of forums about the above tyres.
They're made in Indonesia and cost just over $400 a set fitted.

I fitted 17x235 45's. (the old set up was 16x 205 50, so they're going to feel different)

I thought I'd give impressions on these as they're an unknown to me and I've been a 'name brand' tyre user forever.

On fitting, they balanced up well, with little weight needed to be added.

The ride quality is very good. they feel smooth and are very quiet. It made me realise just how noisy the Perellis were.

The grip in the dry seems very good, and the directional stability is good too but there is a lot more rubber on the road.
The steering feels very precise, moreso than the previous set up.

In the wet, the grip feels fine, although I haven't reached their limits (just feeling this out). Water dispersion also seems good. No hint of aquaplaning yet.
They do feel like the directional stability (staying in a straight line) wanders a little in the wet, but this can just be down to a wider tyre.

They also have a sizeable rim protector moulded into the sidewall, which is nice.

It doesn't snow here, but there are reports that these are not a good snow tyre.

So far, I have to say that the positive feedback on the webz looks well founded.
I haven't found the limits of the tyre in pretty hard cornering, but I don't track my car. Having said that, the place I bought the tyres from has a race car that uses these tyres.
The tyres have a 400 wear rating, which is good, but time will tell.

I'll try to keep this review going as the tyres wear.

For under $400 pre fitted, so far I'm impressed.
