Just to start, this is more-so an online documentation of maintenance performed on my 2017 civic with some "modifications" sprinkled in. I don't plan on doing much to this thing, just like the last one, but it would be nice to have everything in one place.
I've been in the "Honda scene" for awhile, mostly active on Honda-Tech for the longest. I previously built a 98 civic hatch that some of you might remember.
That build thread is here.
Before that I owned a 2002 Honda S2000 which I sold to fund the hatch build. Only car I regret selling.
Thats basically my Honda history. Been around a while, and its like a can't seem to get away. Anyway, onto the 10th gen!
Purchased this car on November 19th, 2019 with right at 35k miles on the clock. I wasn't necessarily looking for a new civic, but a Tacoma. I quickly found out that a Tacoma in my price range was going to be 10+ years old with 100k+ miles. Test drove this white one at a local dealer and loved it. Ended up looking for a different color for a week or two (grey or black) but couldn't find any in as good of shape as the local one so I went and picked it up.
The day I drove it home!
Pictured with its older brother. I ended up selling the FA5 rather quickly.
The day after I purchased the 10th gen, I met up with Tom at the Tail of the Dragon. The 10th gen handles so good with the adaptive dampers, its really a great all around car.
First "modification" came shortly after. I exchanged the halogen headlight bulbs for some Hikari LED's. The only plans I have for the exterior is a front lip, not really sure which one as the CTR lip is a bit wide for the stock Si and the Greddy lip is pretty aggressive for a stock setup and the HFP lip is red and annoying . So I'm not 100% sure what I'll throw on there. As I mentioned, this thread is more of a maintenance thread, so don't expect literally anything apart from oil changes and small parts. I do have a bunch of Spoon stuff that I plan on selling to pickup some little stuff for this thing, but thats about all. I'll update this thread when I can.
