What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[KnoxTn17Si]

Thanks for the comment. I read the same on these forums, my alarm randomly went off and keyless still works...did the error and everythint go away from your dash after it dried? Hoping once it dries it'll be fixed

Yeah, had tint done in the morning and when I got home the error popped up. Went to work the same day and after work, started the car and it was gone.

New Manicci floor mats. Also pulled the ECU to ship to Hondata so they can Jailbreak it to use with their FlashPro.

Wow those are so beautiful, I wouldn't want to step on them

Installed these led bulbs for my rear turn signals.

Link to bulbs and I'm assuming no Hyper flash?

Was gonna ask the same thing. Please “enlighten” us.

Also, my Lamin-X film came in (sheet instead of pre-cut) and I installed them. They apply on and stick very well, but use a hairdryer that help with the curve.

Because of the thickness of the material, it would bunch up (and probably eventually peel) at the edges. So as an extra measure, I put an o-ring from a Prius oil filter housing around the edge of the light to keep the edge down. Not sure if it’ll work or for how long but it’s there. Any old rubber band will work, I just happened to have 2 of these.

Light output is nice and solid yellow. We’ll see how they do over time.

Cut off my front grille, just need to sand down the broken trims.

I like the gold and white. Classic.

A nice carwash.

Tinted it. Got a keyless start error after tho, looks like it may pass in a day after reading forums. I have window visors getting installed Friday and I ordered Optix smoked side markers which hopefully will arrive soon

Wow, a tint shop that knows how to properly apply a windshield banner?! That's amazing.

When I had my windows tinted, the dumbf!*%() installer just laid the straight edge of the tint at the AS1 line and wrapped it. This made the middle of the window 4" and at each A-pillar about 16" down the windshield... looked dumb as shit. He's like "that's how everybody does it".

Car looks great. Which rear window spoiler is that?

Lol mine is down more on the sides as well but I like the way it looks fits the curve of the windshield

Dropped the car off a few days back to get it's paint fixed from some... 'mysterious' scratches all over the passenger side. Oughta be able to pick it up today!

For now, the old lady is forced to drive the Odyssey and I'm bumming it in the twin turbo. I drive it so seldom as a needed DD now-a-days (never in the rain for fun), I forget how easy the Civic is to drive. It's been raining a lot... and a heavy clutch, double the power with no electronic aids (ie traction control) make for some attention getting takeoffs off the line.

To be honest I forgot but I bought it on Ebay.

I hear ya dude... I get in my WRX and it just feels so rough these days. Before I bought the Civic I had a 2000 Mustang and my WRX felt like a BMW in comparison to that thing. These Civics just drive so darn nice.

That being said tho... the "mechanical" feeling you get driving older cars isn't replicated in any new cars these days. You feel so connected to everything. Steering, shifting, throttle, brakes... I love that driving experience.

My gf came back from her trip in China and brought this back and bunches of bulbs for the car as quality testing. We're thinking to start a store here in US that sells automotive LED bulbs soon. We're going again next month, let me know if y'all want some, i can bring them back. Probably i will try to find the switchback side markers for the car as well.
It syncs perfectly with all the turn signals on the car. No hyperflash from when looking from the outside of the car though when i turn it on, the indicator inside the dash flashes a bit faster than normal.
Also I installed the reverse bulbs as well yesterday. Here is the pic with the new bulbs in.

Yeah he tried a straight line but our windows are curved sohe had to free hand it with masking tape to algin it. It's not 100% perfect to be honest if you look really closely but nothing noticable. Looks alot better than a straight line would lol.

Still got the keyless error tho. Noticed my lights on dash flickering too when I get in the car, guessing it's starting to dry out niw. It's nice and sunny here in BC's Okanagan today so hopefully it'll pass. I'll keep y'all posted.

*Edit* - error gone!
