    Funny stories from working on a car

    Have one that's not just funny but hurt like hell. Sister has a 1991 Honda Civic, so has that heavy @$$ hood. Well I was trying to replace her Spark Plugs and the hood was in my way, so what did I do? Pushed the hood all the back back so it was flush on the windshield, what did I forget to...

    Just got a civic

    :nopics: Can't see pics while I am here at work anyways, but welcome to CC. Sounds like you've got some decent plans. Somtimes the ride just needs to be lowered to be just perfect. I miss my '03 EX somtimes, but sort of wish I had that Si interior you just explained lol

    New girl needs help

    Welcome to CC, and lol. Sounds like my neighborhood.... Do the ghetto thing and take a chain and wrap it around the wheel and tie it to the fire hydrant, cause I've seen that before in my area lol

    Odd Idling... Hesitation on 2nd Gear?

    This looks like what needs to be adjusted to adjust the belt: Close Up Side Picture So do I just loosen the top of that till the belt loosens a bit? I am guessing that's how. This once looks different than the one I had on my old civic, which was more like a slider where I slid the belt...

    Odd Idling... Hesitation on 2nd Gear?

    To add, can I adjust the belt myself? It's like the normal one, slightly different and I think it's cause the S/C is added to the entire pulley. I'll take a pic tomorrow and post to see if someone could give me direction on what to loosen perhaps.

    Odd Idling... Hesitation on 2nd Gear?

    Hmm, That's actually might be what it could be. When you stand in front of the car, you can hear what I can describe as slight rubbing from the belt pulley. It could be described something else, but when I look at the belt it looks slower than it moved before. I mean before, it was LOOSE and...

    Odd Idling... Hesitation on 2nd Gear?

    Let's just start with this: 1 Week ago, bring my car to my local dealer. They 1) Removed the Heat shield around my Cat cause it was rusted and was flapping at High RPM's. 2) They tightened my pulley belts, and though they make a noise it can't be heard unless you stand in front of the car...

    WTB: '02 Si Emblem

    Yeah, I can't find a local dealer who sells em but... I am looking for both the Front & Rear SI Eblem for a 2003 Civic Si (EP3). Shipped to 22193, unless you are close in Virginia and I can just pick it up. Thanks!

    What's the fastest driving route from Virginia to Utah?

    Pick the straightest shot possible, and simply use a GPS during the trip to get around traffic. That's the best way from VA, cause most of the traffic will be in VA anyways. That, and be sure to use "ludicrous speed".....

    How To: DIY black out headlights

    I've looked all over Google and the forums... Anyone have a picture of a Black EP3 that has done this? Wondering if it actually looks good since my car is um... black already lol. I've seen white and the lights blacked out, and it looks damn nice. Just wondering if it would be the same since...

    Favorite dog?

    Pits and Shepards only for me. My roommate and his wife have a 3 Champion Pure-Breed Pitbull. She is an absolute loyal and awesome dog. As for the Shepard, my neighbors had one when I was younger, same thing... completely loyal and obedient. Only two dogs I would raise.

    Few questions/advice wanted

    Aight, thanks. Heading home now, so I'll take a look. Anything in particular I should check for? Like if they are loose? Or just simply missing or something? lol

    Few questions/advice wanted

    Emerican, Yup. Checked the fuses under the hood, and the SRS and Auto fuses are good. Hell, I even replaced them with brand new fuses, and nada. The Cruise Control button pushes in, light comes on, and nothing at the steering wheel at all. I tested it on the highway like over 50 different...

    Few questions/advice wanted

    Thanks Cob, don't care about HP gains my S/C gives me plenty. I was more worried about efficiency, such as cheaper plugs misfire more often and thus cause flooding and additonal carbon build-up. I know Plats have a more efficient spark ratio, so I will just go with those and are OEM for the car...

    Alternator belt blues

    Maine, TinyPic.com or Tinypic.org Forgot which to use. Try those websites. Also, make sure that the previous owner didn't install an aftermarket tensioner. That's what I got on my Civic and had to bring to a shop to actually show me how to use. Don't fix what ain't broken :P

    Lowlife, you're telling me. First time having a Carbon Fiber hood, and I didn't look it up before cleaning it. Some friends pointed out exactly what you said as well, just wanted to see what others had to say. I might just do that this weekend, thanks. As for the plugs Spencer, yeah always...

    Few questions/advice wanted

    Instead of creating multiple posts, figured I could just post here: First, just got my Valves Adjusted and Belt fixed, so my car is sounding like a champ right now :) 1) For some reason, my carbon fiber hood looks like utter $h*t. No idea why, and I think it's cause I accidently cleaned...

    Drove car through some nasty puddles... need advice

    lol, yeah doubt it. Question, and it was probrablly the belts. When I went through the water the second time, I coasted for a little and then began to drive off again. Well it made this ear piercing sound, like from my Supercharger pulley. Squealed for a bit, but then stopped afterwards. Is...

    Drove car through some nasty puddles... need advice

    Let me know if that's good enough, cause if not I can attempt to take a picture closer to where the Intake is. I checked, and I don't even see the filter from the Driver Wheel Well. Picking up a floor jack this weekend, so maybe I'll jack it up and try to get some under pics. For now, let me...
