Rep Power: 0 Help me build the best Honda Civic guide!
Hi everybody! My name is Tom, I’ve been lurking the forums for some time and this is my first post. I wanted to share with you something I’ve been building that I think any Civic owner should like, and I’d love to get your input and your help
Did you know that in the past years over 3 million Honda Civic have been sold in the US? That’s a LOT of cars, and lot of fellow car owners. When you think about it, it’s kind of weird that we don’t have one centralized website or place with all the answers to the most common questions and problems we face as we use and get to know this beautiful car. This forum is great for a lot of things: I’ve found great stuff that I can’t imagine reading anywhere else, however, I feel that we owners should also have one place to share more specific information about our cars, their problems and the solutions we’ve found, and use it to help others. I’m trying to build that, and this is what I have so far:
http://www.startmycar.com/honda/civic
Right now it’s mainly focused on problems and solutions, but I’m working on a guide with all the basic questions a new owner might have, such as how often should you change transmission fluid.
I hope you can take a look at it, try it, give me your feedback and help me improve it! Feel free to share it here or send me a PM; any kind of input will be greatly appreciated!

that site does not separate the civics by generations... There's clear distinctions among all 10 generations...

Sorry OP, gonna have to jump on the bandwagon with these guys. Your site seems like a "Yahoo Answers" for car problems. It lacks what we have on this forum, which is a sense of community. Many of us have built our reputations on this forum, which ensures the new users that they're getting right answers and proper direction, as opposed to Joe Schmo saying "this is the answer." Also, like sdaidoji said, there's no separation of generations of civics, which made navigation, well, suck, to say the least.
I do wish you the best of luck with your site.

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the feedback! I really appreciate it.
The big difference with this forum or any other kind of forum is that we are just trying to organize a very specific subset of information with a very clear goal in mind. We are not looking to replace this kind of communities in any way, we know it's like a family
Regarding generations, it's a very good point. Do you think some civic generations still share some mechanical recurrent problems?
xRiCeBoYx, it's true what you say about reputation. It is definitely important, I'm thinking a couple of ways we could try to achieve that.
Thank you!!

I don't see the point of that site, a owners manual and youtube are probably better resources.
Like aforementioned there is no community either. It seems to lack what other sources have, it adds nothing new or different or better.
