I have a roro es honda civic.

Here's the problem. Only when it rains and the road is wet, while driving i hear a knocking noise coming from underneath the car. Under the drivers seat. note this only happens when the road is wet or it rains while the vehicle is driving. When you increase in speed the noise happens when you decrease to about 10-20km/h the noise comes along.

My thinking is it something to do with the drive shaft?
but it only happens when it rains or the road is wet when it's sunny and dry no problems or noise whatsoever.

Any suggestions?

lol i remember having this problem when Andy from ANP was alive he suggested ( i cant rember if it was fixed or not ) that it is something to do with the exhaust if i remember correctly i think it was the metals of the CAT reacting to the water or something so it was a ES problem

:lol: dealt with this already it is the exhaust touching the body right by your foot the ES exhaust crosses the chassis right under the drivers seat
