Thanks it's a blast. I still miss the civic at times but usually just when I'm trying to fit things in the trunk lol.

It really cracks me up how some people freak out when it comes to removing trim pieces with plastic clips. Many of these cars had an airbag recall or something of that nature done to them and were torn apart before you ever saw the car. I sold my civic earlier this year and got a new 5.0...

Why does this sound like an anime ??? 10/10 comment

I would like to add to this convo to say that I once beat a FBO 335i in my slightly modded 1995 maxima with 300k miles. It was NOT because my maxima was fast or because I am an good driver. He was spinning tires the whole time. Literally from the moment we took off. The guy actually found me on...

And then we can hide these threads there and take turns answering them in shifts lol. I answered his questions and proved my points and got no response. Don't expect much of a conversation from the dude if that is what you are looking for lol.

It's not that hard to figure this stuff out man. I get it if you are proud of your education but projecting it on other people to try to make them feel stupid is not cool. If you explain it then people will understand. If they don't understand then you probably did a bad job at explaining it...

I don't have a degree in chemistry and I understand how octane and volatility work. :topic: Why does everyone have to have the same argument in every one of these threads lol. I think that gtman is right that we need a sticky or a forum category that teaches people about fuel types and lets...

I ran regular about half of the time. Premium about half of the time when the price would drop for a day or two. I have a KTuner now so I always run premium. I look at it like this, it doesn't hurt to run premium instead of regular and a lot of the gas stations around me handle the premium gas...

Do these things have a "dim" setting? Like a flip up or down to tint the high beams on the lifted duramax riding 2 ft from my back bumper? I always wanted one of those but I would hate to get headlight glare off of 5 mirrors at once lol.

I mean yeah, but I was replacing it about every 15,000 miles. It's made out of a softer plastic (almost like poly or rubber) than most sensors and very sensitive to knocks and vibrations. It is designed to turn these knocks into a signal so the thing is going to fail faster if the engine knocks...

I might be wrong, but in my experience it seemed like a knocking engine has made my knock sensor literally crack and fall apart into pieces. I used OEM and aftermarket ones (new-in-box OEM sensors for a 1995 were REALLY hard to find) and they all did the same thing, but the OEM ones lasted about...

Yeah you're 100% correct. My (1995) ecu is OBD 2 but it really freaks out when the knock sensor starts to go. If your engine isn't in tip-top shape then it'll fail in 10 or 15,000 miles anyways.It really only affected my mpg in the long run. It detects knocks through vibrations in the block...

I would regularly agree, but my knock sensor failing on my nissan caused some problems and they go out pretty quickly if you run less than the recommended octane. It's not easy or cheap to fix on most cars so I'm gonna go ahead and say that people should just use what their car calls for.

The rattles are actually interior trim pieces. A few in the headliner and one in the dash

My 2019 has been excellent. A few cold rattles but nothing terrible. Paint is soft and seems... fragile lol.

Could it just be the injectors? I've noticed that the injectors are loud AF on my car. Both before and after my tune.

Reflashing did reset my oil life reading on my 2019 EX. Not sure about everyone else but it resets mine every time. I plan to just tell them that I accidentally reset it myself when I was messing around with stuff.

Oh yeah, you're correct on that. Who hasn't accidentally neutral dropped a car at some point? :( It hurts the soul and sometimes the neck, but the transmission will live on!

When I worked at a dealership this was certainly not the case. We didn't have time to dig around and find people's dirty laundry. HOWEVER It is safe to assume that they are not idiots and can tell if a car has been tuned, so I'm with you there. Most of US could tell by simply driving in a...
