Just some observations regarding fuel economy. On my 4AT EL Touring I was getting around 9.0L/100km in recent months, under mixed city/highway driving. With...
Congrats on the new ride. First off, I have the 02 premium EL and I've always bitched about its fuel economy. NOT good. Always around 10L/100 or more for mix...
... The EL's fuel economy was quite disappointing for me leading up to just before I sold it. When I first got the car I was averaging around 8L/100km, then...
klam, congrats on the new car. Did you get the RSX-S? That's really strange about your fuel economy. Since I've started driving from T.O. to London on a...
Nope, I got a Premium. I test drove the Type-S but wasn't impressed with the low-end torque. It really felt lethargic and it was noticeably weaker than the...
Canadiandriver.com has added an updated 2004 review of the EL, in addition to the 2001 review they did a few years ago. A couple of interesting points: "Start...

Those do look very good. Has it been worse or better further back than January 2004? Are you using stock Firestone tires, winter tires? Any other aftermarket...
It`s been relatively the same fuel economy since I bought the car in April 2001. Car details: - 2001 1.7EL - Automatic - Honda 5W20 Oil replaced every 8000 km ...
I have the Vibrant Polished Strut Bar available for sale. I will sell it for $25. This is a simple bar that ties the two front strut towers together at the...
Sad to see the EL go but RSX is nice!! What about your HIDs? You sold them with the car? ... pictures! ... EL was ... sportier ... $13,000 ... $14,950 ... was ...
I parted it out and sold it on eBay. The dealer wanted the car like factory. Even my 16" rims and tires they didn't want. They wanted the factory wheels....
As you know I sold the EL a month ago, finally got around to posting the aftermarket rims and tires for sale now. Motegi Racing MR15 rims in silver 16" x 7" ...
Forgot to mention that there is no damage to the rims and I wax the rims at the beginning of the season (to resist brake dust and contaminants). One of the...
Hey Klam, what type of wheel wax do you use and where can you buy it? I wasnt aware that you could wax wheels but i'd like to look into it. Thanks dave ...

There are two pics of my EL in the Photos section under my name "klam". My EL was not lowered. The 205/55/16 tires are slightly bigger than 185/65/15...

Hi Everybody: I haven't posted on this board for a long time now, ever since I sold my EL in April of this year. The reason I sold it is a long one and I don't...
Hi all, I have an Acura 1.6 El 1997, and I am planning to change my wipers. The guys from Acura told the size for the driver side is 500mm (20 inch). I am just...
The only problem I see with a longer wiper is that the tip may go past the top of the windshield when it wipes. I don't think it's too long that the tip may...
The # of posts have sure tapered off here lately, hopefully there are still a few owners lurking around... The passenger side airbag cover on my '02 El has...
I think it might have something to do with the air bag cover being a slightly different material and texture from the rest of the dashboard. I can notice the...
