So ive noticed this since I bought the car. When cruising down the highway I get this wierd vibration... right around 60 mph. I never notice it at low speed. It has about a half a second to a second inbetween each one. Its like a wooomp.......wooomp......wooomp. I had taken it to the dealer once for it before but they said it was my winter tires causing it. But now I just bought a brand new set of skins and im still noticing it. Any ideas? U joint?

You hit a pothole??? Could also be a bent rim.

or just a tire out of balance.....most wheel balancers are only good for around 40 mph......i'ld check the wheels first....they will be the cheapest and easiest to do first

it also may just be the timing of the cylinders at that precise rpm it can get droning which is why i just go faster and it goes away.

Just had them rotated... and as when you buy any new tires and have them mounted, they balance them.

Yeah, but at least when you come out to your car, you know it is still going to be there, unlike the Si!(wedge)

sad to hear you have problems but issues can happen with any car . . . its luck of the draw.

Cousin of mine had a civic. Talk about problems . . . its on its 3rd warrantied engine and 2nd tranny. Fully stock.

40k miles and only the clutch and flywheel (girlfriend fried it) and transfer case (covered under warranty) are you guys running full synthetic? do you question your ability to drive the car ever because its possibly one of the most difficult to drive perfectly in the sports car community. I've driven plenty of 300 400 500+ hp cars and in comparrison i'd say the ms6 is disgusting clutch/gearbox wise unless you can shift perfectly all the time which i guess it takes 2 years to do considering i havent grinded in about 6 months.

So I just realized that pulling the EBrake up one click does get rid of the vibration.... wonderful! Craigslist here we come.
