  1. Old, cracked vinyl removal from roof advice

    4 hours of scraping with 3M Adhesive Remover and it's all off! I did a quick wash after and the surface still feels a little gritty, and there is some yellowing underneath, but on first glance it feels like the clear coat is still there, but dulled a little bit. There are some leftover yellow...
  2. Old, cracked vinyl removal from roof advice

    It took about 3 hours of pressure washing, but I got the outer layer all off and all that's left is the adhesive. I was able to Goo Gone some spots and it's actually coming off nicely (except for the yellowing underneath, but I heard that was normal and should go away after the sun washes it...
  3. Old, cracked vinyl removal from roof advice

    I'm not necessarily planning on rewrapping, maybe I'll have to see what that costs versus just having a body shop just repair the clearcoat. But I do have a pressure washer, so maybe I'll give that a shot! Thanks for the insight.
  4. Old, cracked vinyl removal from roof advice

    I got the roof of my car vinyl wrapped about 4 years ago and last year it started cracking badly. I finally have the time/budget to remove it, but the shops near me are (understandably) quoting >$700. I tried scraping it with a plastic razor in the sun, but it's slow going. The paint underneath...

    Apologies, haven't logged on in a minute. Not available anymore.
  6. Sad to say these will be my last Civics

    With the rise of lifted trucks and SUVs in my already accident-prone area, I have been feeling a little bit wary that a bad driver will just plow through my skull. But sports cars are always a risk in a lot of ways, and I have enough faith that the Civic chassis is rigid enough for most...
  7. Best oil and miles or percentage

    I got the F106SX, so I can make sure that the spout wasn't sticking out and was oriented where it was convenient for me.
  8. Best oil and miles or percentage

    Yeah, I got tired of paying $75 every few months for someone to just put in mid oil + filter, so I just threw a Fumoto valve on my oil pan and now I change it with a good oil, good filter, and it only takes me 30-ish minutes and $25 per. Would be even faster if the undercarriage panel had...
  9. Best oil and miles or percentage

    IIRC the MM oil change percentage is calculated based on a lot of factors, including your driving habits - it's not a strict "x number of miles" counter. So just go off the MM and change at around 30%. I change my oil every 5000-7500 miles, and I just go with whatever big name full synthetic is...
  10. Is this too much to ask for?

    The first car I bought, right before finishing college, was the first gen HR-V. The '04 Camry I got handed down was burning oil like mfer, and I had just enough scholarship money leftover for a decent down payment. I went to the lot for a Civic LX, first year that 10th gen was out, and I liked...
  11. CV Axle Grease Buildup?

    I'm at 50k, and my left axle is shot - the dealer near me said it's covered under powertrain warranty, just waiting for the part to get in now as it's on national back order.
  12. Feedback on Modding list order for new 2020 Si

    Our platform comes with a really soft rear sway bar stock, and the difference in responsiveness/body roll with an aftermarket one is pretty big, especially for a relatively low price.

  16. What's your SI looking like today?

    Feels a little show-offy, but I wanted to add a little interior smiles and got Acuity's shifter charm hanger plus a little AliExpress Rainbow Six charm. :D
  17. What's your SI looking like today?

    I just moved to this full shifter a month ago (going from just the cable bushings+centering spring+base bushings on the stock Si Shifter) and holy moly was it a world of difference. It feels so much more satisfying.
  18. Summer Tire Recommendation

    I second this - my V601s were fantastic.
