ok aside from a few small things not engine related i decided its time to turn my attention to some maintenance items. lets start with a simple one that started my confusion a tune up. now to what ive found there is only 2 real d16 engines the rest are the same thing for the most part. rock...

did a forum search already and ebay and a junkyard was suggested. outside of that the posts were related to the original issue with these civics so dealership was used. so its 2019 the car is long past me concerning myself with a dealer. ive found various brands and places to purchase new...

so here is day 1 when i brought it home from the buyer. ive been working at removing the plastidip from the rims but poor coating and weather isnt making it easy. its an ex d16y8 auto (booo yes i know automatic) in what i thought was great shape for the northeast. all stock at the moment with...

the civic i bought recently came with led bulbs in it. i have some experience with led and hid bulbs but not alot of either. my accord has led hi beams and i love them. a few of the vehicles ive had around for various work were hid setups. hid bulbs are similar style to a standard halogen so...

so last year i finally ditched our 08 lx civic my wife bought herself and ditched on me. well i picked up a 13 accord exl v6 in trade on that. so back to why im back less than a mile from my house a 2000 ex coupe poped up. no rust only 134k almost perfect interior completely unmolested except...

since I'm getting my civic back I'm thinking about doing an audio upgrade. the hu I'd like a touch screen and I'd like to replace the 4 speakers. what brands are still good to replace my factory stuff. not looking to win any shows or break the bank just be better than dual junk and such...

so the wife hit a deer with the civic. headlight, bumper cover, fender, inner fender, drivers door are all bashed up. insurance company is supposed to appraising it today. not sure what is going to happen with it yet.

Now before anyone assumes no I don't want to fake badge my car an si/mugen or put one of those giant indy wings on my car. I do however like the mugen wing or the stock si fin for the sedans. I noticed duraflex makes a mugen style wing and I've also found the stock replacement si fins pretty...

So my pa state inspection was due and I needed to do my brakes. I bought the power stop premium kit with the red powder coated calipers to go along with the drilled and slotted rotors and such. Sadly it's not in the budget atm to ditch the rear drums but I got new drums so I could paint them...

17 in kosei d5 Needed a good cleaning and I still need to get 2 tires. Used but I like them and for 160 bucks I'm not complaining. I'll post a better image once I get good tires on the other 2 and get the car cleaned..... I hate cleaning a black car.

So I had a Bluetooth obd2 adapter given to me so I decided to check out torque pro app. Skimming around the internet there are a few other apps that appear to me more favorable. But here is my take on torque pro. Most of gauge displays appear to be pretty accurate on 4 different vehicles I've...

Ok last question for the night have to catch a plane in a few hrs. The a/c on this 08 civic 1.8 is wierd. Its charged up properly and according to the garage the pressure reads good but it works fine at an idle anyway. If i have the a/c on and keep the rpms under 2kish the a/c works fine. If...

Ok so going from my sport packaged pontiac to this civic the car feels like it wants to let go of the road almost any time im driving it. First my plan is to ditch the 16 in hubcap nonsense and get 17 or 18 in rims and tires. Im also looking at all the available suspension bracing thats...

Hello new to the forum tossing up an intro first. Chain of events and some family decisions blah blah... I will now be stuck with our 08 civic ex 1.8 5 spd auto. I pretty much cant stand to drive something and leave it stock. Ive already ordered a cai and cat back exhaust as a typical...
