Has anyone ever purchased a tune up kit from Amazon? If you have what did you think about the parts? I found one through Amazon that is cheaper than Autozone and seems like a complete kit. I appreciate your help.

What exactly is in this mysterious "Tune up kit"? You can't just talk about a random product online and not at LEAST post a link to it.

 

Go to Amazon. Look up the cheapest "tune up kit". That will probably be it.

 

lol the one that promises gains of +15 hp if you use their plug wires, plugs, and oil filter

 

For tune up kits and timing belt packages this is where its at:

If anyone wants armrests, they have them in stock!

 

Or go t a junkyard and get one for $15

 

^yup. I forgot to pull one the last time I was there picking stuff for my hatch.

Also I saved that Ebay link to genuine honda parts. Very nice.

 

Yeah they don't ship to Canada though.

 

really? that is a bummer.

 

If it's not broken dont fix it!

Unless there is a part that has surpassed its service life, I dont reccomend throwing parts at it, and if you must always OEM.

 

Post a link to the kit you're talking about.

 

I bought a timing belt kit from amazon that was a lot cheaper than trying to find purchase the parts separately through local auto parts store. The kit had all quality parts

 

Sorry I thought I had attached this before, here is hte link:

 

Compared to purchasing everything seperately through Autozone this seemed like the better deal, I have also thought about taking this link in and asking Autozone to match parts and prices. Has anyone ever tried this?

 

I think everyone suggested OEM, not amazon.

 

If you buy parts off amazon that are a known brand then sure, But when buying Unknown brand parts you run the risk of, poor fitment, poor performance which can ending being a waste of time and money. Suit your self, hopefully you get lucky.


Part stores will not match pricing of online stores. Typically only number matching and brand matched parts through local retail outlets. The online versus retail outlet usually breaks down to Time versus money.

 

I sure as **** wouldn't trust anything non-Honda/Toda as far as something as mission critical as a water pump goes. That thing goes bad, it takes your entire motor with it. Is saving $50-$100 on the pump really worth risking a motor that'll cost $500 to replace, bare minimum?

 

At this point.

IMO that is very good tune-up kit with quality parts and much cheaper than auto parts stores.

Read the description: This kit includes: engine oil filter with new drain plug washer, engine air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve, PCV valve grommet, distributor cap, ignition rotor, NGK wire set and four NGK spark plugs. The spark plugs are NGK V-Power. The cap and rotor are Daiichi or YEC or made in Japan The part number for the spark plugs is ZFR5F-11 or stock number 2262.

NGK wires and plugs alone will cost $100 at parts store. But, are you sure your car needs all those things? It won't add any HP or better performance if your current parts are functioning properly. However, as far as replacing them for basic maintenance I would buy that kit for sure. My 2 cents worth. TBK sells a lot of kits for Hondas and wouldn't be around long if they didn't use quality parts and send the parts that they list.

 

thanks for the feedback, I purchased the kit yesterday, I will follow up on this thread and let you know how it goes.

 

Everyone tells OP to buy OEM, he buys knockoff anyway. youcantexplainthat.jpg

 

Do a search for the OEM distributor cap (not distributor itself) and see what you come up with.. only OEM compatible. The closest you will find are caps made in Japan "The cap and rotor are Daiichi or YEC or made in Japan".

Search sites and most recommended spark plug is ZFR5F-11. Other than OEM NGK wires are typically recommended. The air,fuel and oil filters could very well be made in the same factory as OEM under a different name. Go to the dealership and buy a 15 dollar PCV valve and I'll go to autozone and get one for 3 dollars. Six thousand miles later I'll it will still rattle when I shake it, but I'll replace it anyway because I bought 5 at the same price as for your 1. Yes. Honda OEM should be used for most replacements, but not all. Nothing wrong with getting quality parts while saving cash.
