Driving above 100km/h before first 1000kms?
For my car, a Honda amaze diesel, before my odometer reaching 1000kms i had drove some of the kms (around 200 kms) above 100km/h to 110km/h speeds for some reason [my bad i didn't know that i shouldn't have done that way till today, blame on me]. And now i'm worried.
Would this have caused any problem to my engine? Last week after long time i went for a drive and i find i have lost some power on speed above 80km/h. I don't find the same power as i had earlier in the initial days for the speed above 80km/h, however i could still touch 110km/h with accelerator pedal on full press.
This is my first car and i really don't know any clue to analyze. Please advice.
1. Gave first service at 850kms on my odometer in first 1 month.
2. With completing 3 months after first service (total 4 months) i currently see 4200kms on my odometer and is due for 2nd service.
Please advice me whether this bad behavior of mine would have caused any problem or any significant down-performance on my car's engine?
What should i be doing now? :-/ :-?
And, 2nd service was due for either 5000kms run or 3 months whichever comes first, since the car is run only for 3000kms now and completing 3 months - should i still give my car for 2nd service as 3 months completes?
100km/hr is not that fast. You're okay. Diesel engines have a lot of low end torque, meaning you have a lot of power at take off and you won't feel the difference if you are towing something. At higher speeds, you will not be able to accelerate like a regular gasoline engine.
- What are some good cars that either already have mods or are just sporty in general? Nothing above 5k? And yes i have look at all the sporty hondas and i like them, but i want a V6 casue their faster than V4s stock. but yeah like give me some websites or car names to look up on craigslist.
- I can't go above gear 4 in honda CBF 125 2012? I bought a second hand HOnda CBF124 2012 model two weeks ago. I though these bikes had six gears? I sped up to 45 and gear four is max i could go to. I can't shift the gear lever after that. Why do you think i'm having this problem?> Yes, I know But mine is like 1 up and only 3 up… Can't go any more than that I mean 1 down and 3 up Okay thanks. How much would it cost to get checked and fixed?
- I need advice of driving up and down mountains for the first time? So I'm going on a tip to big bear this Friday and i need a little advice because it's my first time. I'm think of either taking a new 2014 hybrid honda insight or a 2006 Nissan Altima. My Nissan. Front brakes have been changed almost two weeks ago but I didn't change the backs.

- My honda overheats above 65 mph? So, I bought this car a week ago. It was sitting in a garage for about a year. It has 135k on a rebuilt motor. It has the d15b1 motor. It's a 1989 civic ef hatchback. Question being; whenever I'm on the highway or going up a hill, even I my car doesn't have allt of weight and I go to pass, the motor goes hot. Would this sound like a thermostat? I'm running water in it right now.
