  1. *CLUTCH WARNING - 10th GEN CIVIC SI's/MT's*

    Those are great data points to keep in mind friend! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with me.
  2. *CLUTCH WARNING - 10th GEN CIVIC SI's/MT's*

    I will probably eventually need a replacement at some point myself. Is there an even lower boost tune available from Ktuner? I would love to get it just for some of the fine tuning like reducing rev hang but without pushing the boost too high. That clutch sounds like it is doing you well. Is...
  3. Rust on the underbody after six years [photos included]

    Reason to not use the cooler would be that the market and government allows that and the laws and culture support that. It is always the case of profitability as well. I was scanning UK Civics around when I first purchased my 1.5 Hatchback with manual here and noticed that that UK market cars...
  4. Oil Dilution in 2018 Civic 1.5 Turbo. What actions to take?

    "30 minutes once a week" sounds hilarious to me knowing you are in Toronto eh? This is not the car to enjoy being driven only 10-15 minutes let's say twice a day while in Canada. This is from a maintenance perspective, motor oil specific. What I did and I am not even in Canada (most of this...
  5. Paint bubbling and showing rust, is there a possibility I could fix this myself?

    This car is gorgeous!! I wish I had started doing more of my own work when I was younger because all of the paint work I have ever had done PROFESSIONALLY has been anything from poor to maybe ok. On one car that I insisted the rust be corrected, it was not cut out and resurfaced a short while...
  6. Paint bubbling and showing rust, is there a possibility I could fix this myself?

    Hello, first of all, you have gotten some good input. Very good answers in fact. I started doing bodywork for a friend of mine because I needed the money. I realized that body work is something anybody can do, to a certain level at least. Once any welding is needed, it goes beyond my...
  7. Fk8 compression 125 psi per cylinder?

    So, that reading is not telling you the real compression level in the cylinders. Somehow it is getting bled out, but as the other guy said, you want symmetry in the reading.
  8. Brake squealing with new brakes - what am I missing?

    I have re-used pins for many years but springs get corroded more because they are more exposed. It all depends on the current condition. Try something else until you are happy. Grooves could be a rotor issue but to me may point first to a pad issue. I guess I am on the fence about that...
  9. Rust on the underbody after six years [photos included]

    yes exactly. those two things. sorry for my fascination!
  10. Is it too late to start modding my civic?

    Gotcha. Well everyone is different in some way but I like you am in this for the long haul. I could use better tires for performance and spirited driving. I went down to 17's and the 18's are much tighter on handling. I went for comfort. The engine when given breathing aids on exhaust and...
  11. Brake squealing with new brakes - what am I missing?

    I have been working on brakes for a while. First question is how is the bite? Does it have better initial bite? How is it stopping once they are very warm? Do you ever do lots of spirited driving? The stock pads are designed to avoid any kind of squeaking, but I had great performance one...
  12. Winter sucks

    I find it fascinating that the sedan and hatchbacks had certain differences. Can you tell me what is that thing that is black and on the bottom of your engine's oil pan? My engine has nothing there but I tried installing a heater there for winter but it didn't work well and I took it off...
  13. Winter sucks

    If I lived where they salted the roads I would use one of those oils that they sell for applying a coating on any bare metal. It sucks that salt finds a way to go all over the engine as if intentionally. Some washing with light spray from the car wash wand might be in order once it has cooled...
  14. *CLUTCH WARNING - 10th GEN CIVIC SI's/MT's*

    that's pretty insane. I wonder if it was intentional. Honda pays quite low for factory work. Is your VIN start with a 2 or a 1? Back when I was cross-shopping, I saw the 10th gen SI's were assembled in Canada.
  15. Is it too late to start modding my civic?

    Hey man, I'm here in a hot place like you. For me, anytime it is hotter than about 90 degrees or even in the 100's, my car pulls timing and I lose power. I want to go with MA intercooler but haven't done it yet. I just know I'm slower then. Exhaust and minor intake mods will not put extra...
  16. What type of oil does everyone use?

    On your side of the planet that weight should work pretty well, but for ring seal and durability, some of us use 5w30 in favorite brand and model of oil. There are some other threads with more content from 2021-2024. You might have a gander over at those. I have recently read just how tight...
  17. Florida Fk8 Part Out

    Hey did you get a 2022 or 23 Type R and it so do you think the suspension is an improvement? Also the images are in a very clean shop. Is that a Honda dealer? I ask because one of the dealerships where I live has a very sloppy shop.
  18. What is this part called? Easy way to remove the rust? (2017 Coupe)

    As far as freeing up the bolt, I use a long extendable 3/8 drive and often will use a heavy steel mallet to pound the handle, and hence the bolts free (of course after spraying Liquid Wrench in there). Looks like you are getting to the calipers, is that right? A brake service? I hear the dry...
  19. Are the L15 turbo engines the worst Honda made

    My mechanicals are mainly unbroken. Long life brakes. Great alignment. Engine been fine. It's the interior and exterior(namely exterior) that has been falling apart on my 17 Hatch. Such a shame but such is the shame that we must wear driving this monstrosity of exterior design! And for a car...
  20. They offered me how much!?!

    So this is a street bike you are racing? I am 51 bro and have learned the hard way that building long term wealth beats short term gains. Now that you are young you probably have real capability to earn money and can turn that money into more money say for example fixing up and flipping houses...
