    Thanks xxteexX I need to pick up one of these screws! Good lookin' out
  2. Jack/Jack Stand Tips?

    I just drive front wheels onto piece of wood (maybe about 2 inches high) then my low profile jack can reach that front jacking point and get jack stands on each side (metal point just behind wheels). When I do tire rotation, I then use rear jack point and get it up and put the jack stands on...
  3. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Performed my 2nd oil change and tire rotation yesterday. Feels good to do your own work and know it was done properly.
  4. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Washed it. Not the most thorough but good enough for rainy season.

  6. Where did you buy Touch-up Paint?

    Had one of the local dealers order it (for some reason they didn't have cosmic blue in stock) and it was like ~$11
  7. Trading in my Type R for a Hybrid , The dealer offered me...

    My wife bought a '19 Insight EX earlier this year. As a daily driver, it is fine. Decent acceleration (nothing like an R or even my EX-T) and handles just fine. Nothing exciting though. I do like the infotainment system better than my Civic and it is fun trying to maximize your MPGs. I...
  8. (SOLD)2019 Civic Hatchback Sport OEM Wheels

    Dang, I'd consider them but I'm in norcal. GLWS
  9. In California are smoked side markers with amber bulbs legal?

    Agreed. I've had mine on since early 2019. From what I read online (and I'm not expert), it seems like as long as it is orange when lit, you shouldn't have any problems. The ones I have when lit you can't tell it is smoked and shines orange at night.
  10. 2018 Si Electronic Parking Brake Issue?

    If you provide enough gas/acceleration it will auto-disable the ebrake. I've experienced it as well. If you don't give it enough gas, then you get the message to disable to the ebrake.
  11. My first run-in with honda dealers

    I agree that you just need to be up front and then stick with "I'm just here for a test drive." 90% of the times I did the test drive and then walked out within a few minutes of finishing the test drive (I test drove around 7-8 cars at different dealers the last few cars I bought). The only...
  12. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    It handles well (I guess that's to be expected given it rides on the Civic platform). I also am not a fan of the fake engine noise. We had to drive it back 100+ miles to get it home so I got a good amount of seat time already. I think it's fine for what it is. Definitely a big difference...
  13. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Added another Honda to the family. Picked up a '19 Insight EX for the wife (replaced her '04 Corolla S).
  14. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Installed smoked sidemarkers yesterday (Revi motorworks ones with amber bulb). I like it!
  15. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Coming down the mountain gets you some great gas mileage!
  16. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Did my first oil change and tire rotation. Made a little mess but got 'er done.
  17. Anyone in the Sacramento area?

    I'm in Sac. I just got mine tinted at Genesis Window Tinting (they have 2 shops, one in Elk Grove and one in Roseville). I went to the Roseville one...was chatting with the owner there and he said the elk grove shop does a little higher volume (~10 cars a day) while the Roseville one does...
  18. Windshield black dots

    I had my dash cam 3M taped to that area on my last car (2016 Civic) and removed it before I traded it in for my current one. I used floss to remove it and then some goo gone and the black dots looked fine. It was on for over a year. Brian
  19. Post your tinted windows

    Finally got my car tinted. Llumar air blue on windshield, front window, Formula One 25% on side rears, 35% on back window, 35% on sunroof. The last one I had was a bit too dark so went lighter this time.
