These wheels fit the 10th and 11th Civics. Offset is +45mm, tires are 215/55R16. They have 2 winters on them (1/4" thread depth) and have been sitting in storage since I got rid of the Civic for a Mazda. 1 of the wheels has some peeling paint, see pics. Asking $550 for the set in the NYC/NJ...
Haven't posted here in a while as life has taken us in a whole new direction with the introduction of a small fussy crybaby into our lives. We needed the extra room and safety of a car that wasn't at eye level with every other SUV around here.
My wife and I got really good trade in offers for...
I keep hearing that the dealer does things behind the standard oil changes, like lubricate chassis components, etc.
Where are these components that need to be lubricated and what kind of grease do I use?
At 49k miles, due for a CVT fluid change on my 1.5T. Anyone know how much this costs at the dealer?
Also, do they just do a drain and fill? I heard that only took like, 1/3rd of the fluid out. Am I better off just buying 12 qts of fluid and doing 3 drain and fills myself to get mostly new fluid in?
Was watching some crash test videos and it seems like the Civics are doing a lot better than the ford explorers.
In the small impact offset test, the passenger survival cell partially collapsed in the explorer! Frightening for a 2018.
I was watching a video about the 1.5T design and stumbled on this cut-away view of the engine.
I drew the area where the injectors spray. We know that with DI engines, some manufacturers build in some over lap so that fuel still occasionally hits seal area of the valve. And since the valve...
Does anyone know if the EX hatchback uses the same brake pads as the EX sedan?
I know honda gives them a different part number but i thought they had the same brakes, no?
Anyone had experience with this? When I'm driving on a road that causes the car to vibrate or even when I'm just at high RPMs, I would hear this faint fast ticking noise, like if you took the sticky side of Scotch tape and tapped your finger against it. It's coming from above my right ear. When...
I'm coming up on 1 year of ownership and I've come to the conclusion that the touch screen climate control isn't so bad.
I was thinking about my old car with the 3 knobs; temperature/AC, fan speed/Auto, directional/recirculation.
The only advantage it had was that I could turn the AC on/off...
I discovered something interesting today.
There's a highway that starts at a light. 3 lanes. Within about 500ft, it turns into 2 lanes. There's always a bunch of a-holes creeping forward at the light. Normally I don't care because I'm coming home from groceries and the car isn't warmed up...
Anyone have both the hatch and sedan? I regularly drive both of ours and feel like the hatchback actually has less steering effort than the sedan.
This is contrary to what the marketing literature says.
Was thinking about this on a long drive.
Like, if the front tires wear 15% in 8000 miles and the rear tires wear 5% and then get rotated, now the front tires are at 95% and rears at 85%.
8000 miles later for the next rotation period, the fronts are at 80% and the rears are at 80%. So the 2nd...
OK another weird question. Has anyone ever had a headlight stalk wear out?
Lately I've been finding myself highbeaming like a MF and I was thinking, I'm putting a lot of wear and tear on this stalk!
I do a lot of high way driving and I've come to the conclusion that there's some dark magic happening in the Honda 1.5T engine in my hatchback. Either that or it's a combination of good design, lightness, and aerodynamics.
We all know that the car gets great gas mileage. A few of us also know...
Is it me or does the door for the gas not have a seal around it so when it rains, your cap-less gas hole gets all soaked and wet?
I have a small concern about water getting into the tank and a large concern about the water around the cap-less flap freezing and not being able to push the...
