Comment on Suicide Doors and Other Cool Car Doors by Susan fischer

Susan fischer — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 19:38:46 +0000

My daughter is in a wheelchair and she drives a Saturn Ion that has suicide doors that she can sit in the driver’s seat and put her wheelchair in the backseat. Her car is about ready to die and she can’t find anything else like what she has. She is a small girl.. only 4 and a feet tall and 100 lbs., so a van is way too big. She was thinking about a Honda Civic hatchback and getting the door behind her made into a suicide door. Is that possible?

I drove one today, slowly. 1st right hand drive. And I climbed out without help! Life is sweet and I was lucky.

Comment on How to Test an Alternator (And Fix It!) by Daniel Gray

In reply to Aldo Cugnini. The difficulty will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Late model cars with tight quarters under the hood can be significantly more difficult than older cars. It's always a good idea to watch a YouTube how-to video for your specific vehicle before purchasing parts.

Replacing an alternator is NOT an easy job. I just had one replaced in my Honda CR-V and the mechanics used a vehicle lift and had to remove many components to get the faulty one out. Replacing it also requires special tools to properly tension the belts.

Something is wrong with the rear light placement. They are too far off the quarter panel, and too close to the center of the car. Was the car rear ended and the new lights installed in the wrong location?

Comment on A 1975 Toyota Celica Time Capsule (Barely a Thousand Miles) by Mark

In reply to Aden Laer. I wouldn't assume this was from an accident. I owned this exact year/model/color car and bought it in 1980. Afterwards discovered both of the front fenders had actually rusted out on the tops an were bondo-'d. So, this does not surprise me... Japanese cars from the mid '70s were very prone to rust.

In reply to DDP. I had it happen once on a '99 Civic. It took a while to trace it down, turned out to be distributor related.
