Re: Warped Rotors on 2001 CL type S

My problems with warped rotors on my 03 TL went away after I replaced them
with aftermarket rotors, got the heavy duty ones. Has been great since.
My first car was a 92 civic, and I had problems with it. I finally got
a new set of discs (which didn't cost that much) and made sure I
always checked the torque with my own wrench whenever the wheels had

My first car was a 92 civic, and I had problems with it. I finally got
a new set of discs (which didn't cost that much) and made sure I
always checked the torque with my own wrench whenever the wheels had
been off. Never had a problem again once I made sure no one was
overtightening it.

Evenness of torque between the lug nuts has little or nothing to do with
it.

I did my research?
One thing I will check out is the torque on the lugs. It should be 80.
Also based on my research - slotted and cross drilled rotors on a street
car is a waste. Better quality normal rotors might be in order - there
have to be some that won't break the bank.

Warped Rotors on 2001 CL type S

jus...@nobecauseihatespam.com (Justin) — Wed, 04 nov 2009 08:04:05 UT

I think its pretty much an accepted fact Hondas and Acuras from the
early 2000's has brake warping issues.
My '01 CL type S is no exception. hat are my options to stop this from
happening? I am a graduate student so money is an issue.
Is there a set of cross drilled rotors I can gat at a decent price?

Can you put them on a 1g tsx? I know the standard tire size is a bit
larger on the new car.

Re: '06 TSX and Ethanol

I think that federal regulations effectively require ethanol now that
MTBE is not being used. So I don't think you're going to find gas
without ethanol by shopping around.
Since I remember the fuss about MTBE getting into groundwater from
several years ago, I would think pretty much everybody has been using

I would prefer not to have ethanol, but I was under the impression it
was everywhere at least since MTBE became unpopular. I didn't think
you had a choice.
I'm in NY; where are you?

Glade to hear it's unlikely taken and may have come off by itself.
Maybe the replacement part has be modified to correct the problem.
When you replace it see if the new one stays on well. If not the base
of later models may have been improved upon to fix the problem.
They are attached firmly on my 2005 TL. I wash and wax it myself by
