i bought it 2 weeks ago @ 26k miles, i part it outside for the moment [had to clean the garage to make room for it] once in awhile it will have trouble starting, seems like the starter isnt up to par. i still have new car warrenty and plan on taking it out to honda to have them check it out. but is that normal?

other than not having enough torque im happy with it, pics to come soon i hope

it didnt come with an owners manual either, and when i start it, the maintaince required light blinks and turns off, is that norm too?

 

My 2000 always started right up. It never had any starting issues. I'd have Honda check it out.

The torque issue can also be resolved. The most common fix is a supercharger. But you can also get gears.

yes it is normal.... hold the trip button down in the ignition on position for a few seconds....

 

Congrats- I just got my 04 GPW last weekend too. Great car!!

 

Congrats on the new car. Definitely get the starting system checked.

 

yeah i went out to honda before work and they told me to call and man an appt. so i'll have to do that like next week because of work.

i checked the secret compartment and nothing, its strange how people dont know about it. my friend bought his in 01 and gave me a tour of his ride back then.

as for supercharger or any other mods, its out of the question. i would like to keep my warranty. plus i'll probably keep the car for 2 years and move on to something else.
