I think my LX has ABS?!?!?!
 

i was randomly comparing my gf's lx and my lx, when sumthin stuck out. i double checked on peoples profile to confirm my hunch. i have an extra brake fluid line and filler(i think) and so far, all the lx i seen on this site that has pics of their engine bay doesnt have it and all the ex does, for example
lx:

Huh?

I hope you were just trying find an excuse to show off your engine bay.. LX doesn't come with ABS.. and I don't think they put it in your car by mistake either, because it's not a dealer installed option.

If you don't believe me, why don't you go out in the snow or wet, and slam the brakes... if you don't feel the ABS viberation, and you skid out, then you don't have ABS.

those pics r not of my engine bay, i tried b4, long time ago, i never skid, and when it comes to near stop, it vibrates violently, is that wut u mean by abs? and i have a lx, how do u explain this?

Does it ALWAYS viberate? Or only when you are about to skid out? ABS is basically pulsating brakes--it simulates you pumping your brakes, to prevent locking up.

ABS is only activated when you're ABOUT to lock up... if you are always getting the viberation, then you have a warped brake rotor that needs to be replaced.

only when i try to lock up, but how u explain the extra brake fluid container in my lx?????

are you sure that the extra "brake fluid line and filler(i think)" isn't for your manual transmition fluid... i have an auto and i don't have that, but i have an ex... so i have abs... only ex's have abs... thats why i have a ex...(other than the sunroof)

i can see you have a 5-speed, since your gf is a girl, she probly has an auto (im going to get flamed for being sexist)

dude i think u got it on the dot except for being a gurl means auto.. but anyway, can anyone confirm this????

alright, look at this first pics, do you see a box with metal hoses coming out right in front of the drivers side strut tower, Nope, now look at the pics right above, see it, YUP. That car has ABS, your however does not, the difference i believe is 2001 to 2002 PRODUCTION year, maybe not the model year.

NO, sorry but you LX does not have ABS, see that metal box in the pic i attached? that is the abs, if you don't have that, then you don't have ABS

thx for the pic HondaLuver.

oh and the thing your talking about in the first pics is the clutch reservor, manuals have them.

the small resevoir is for the clutch!!:_doh:

yeah.. one thing pple should do is to check out the writings on the filler cap..... every cap in the engine bay has writing on them.. saying what fluid does it contain.... Read carefully.... it will say whether it's brake fuild or clutch or something....

n00bified! :_doh:

clutch fluid!!!! you have a manual. the abs is in front of the shock mount on the driver's side:_doh:

I believe the 02 LX sedan in Canada has ABS. But not the coupe.

that is the clutch fluid

yep clutch resevoir is what that is!

haha...maybe your brake pads are gone! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

That's just the clutch fluid reservoir. It uses regular DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid (same as the brake system).

i know all about that from my clutch taking a dump during intake install...heheh

edit: and just to be an a*****e...pleasejoe...you are so god damn retarded [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

HERE we go.... all the PPL that know it all............. picking on NEWBS.....

dudes the guy asked a question.... and there is NO retarded QUESTION......

Just RETARDED PPL who think there the sh!t cause they know HONDA so f**k!n' well....

you PPL are the A$$HOLES for being pricks on the NEWBS

Like the A$$HOLE above my post... Like WEEEEEE...

Damn, how many people does it take to give one answer?

seriously, i really didnt kno one thing about manual trans and most of yall started flaming, probably got the answer frum the guy above u and jus threw in sum uneeded bull$hit! it was resolved after the second guy who replied...:_doh: my bad!

yep, im an a*****e. what else is new? maybe i have a higher than normal expectation of other members of this site because i took the time to at least figure out what most of the stuff is under my hood. and that was before i started posting...cerca age 17. geez, even the owner's manual could tell you that you dont get abs in the lx models. honda doesnt misbadge car right outta the factory. so there isnt a chance he really got an ex.

and yes, there are such things as retarded questions. they are asked by retarded people...people that dont think and dont take the time to find the answer by themselves. such people rely too heavily on other members of society, and when they are on their own, they whine and bitch. on the thread about the auto wrx, i asked the question "do all engines have their firing orders imprinted on them?" because i couldnt find anything about it by myself.

i would love for this site to impose some sort of screening to stop noob posts like this.
