  1. Post Your Aftermarket Wheel/Brake Setup

    I didn't upgrade my brakes. I didn't feel it necessary I apologize. I'm not a maniac racing people from stoplight to stoplight (at least not anymore). Do you go to Type R threads and shame all the guys posting about their SI's? Or is is just me you hold to this standard?
  2. Russian mystery

    Found an article on it. One theory is a “hurricane”? How can you have a hurricane so far inland? Must be a translation thing. I only read non-fiction and am drawn to disaster and similar books. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/SoLiOdJyCK/mystery_of_dyatlov_pass
  3. Anyone into racing drones or RC?

    Thanks- its a Vaterra Ascender with the stock body painted black - discontinued I think. I added some detail bits from Shapeways. I made the spotlight from a xmas decoration.
  4. Anyone into racing drones or RC?

    I like the scale aspect of the hobby too but get the most excitement from non-scale EDF "jets". Only about 5-10 minutes of flying, and I'm always a nervous wreck when I land lol.
  5. Dream Car

    Check out Rich Rebuilds on youtube- might cure you of that urge. Mind you- his was an early model but there is one episode where his ex-tesla technician employee gives a tour of that model. Bottom line they are great under warranty but after that... Any new McLaren would be my dream car. It...
  6. Lower fuel millage

    Dealer guy is right. The expected range that it shows (when you top off the tank) changes each time. Its based on a record of the last tank's MPG. Mine shows around 420 miles on average, and then I know that to be true when I have to get gas again when the light comes on at around 390 miles...
  7. 16 Inch Wheels

    Since mine are knock-offs I think they weigh more than the more expensive stock versions. I read somewhere that the added mass plus it being moved more to the outside of the wheel makes the car SLOWER overall off the line but once up to speed a kind of bicycle effect makes it more efficient...
  8. 16 Inch Wheels

    IMO the larger wheels made a big difference in the look of my car. You will likely get a hit in MPG- you will get a slightly bumpier ride but unlike the stock 16's I stick to the curves like velcro now. No screeching no give at all- each time I push them further. I have yet to test them in the rain.
  9. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    I thought my new tires acted weird when I taxed them around curves. I checked the PSI and found out they all were 8lbs under pressure! So I filled them up and viola...they stick pretty good now. I dont remember who here recommended this stuff but it works great- middle console looks like new...
  10. My first speeding ticket...

    Prosecutors typically come into play for serious offenses not traffic court.
  11. My first speeding ticket...

    Prosecutor lol. Most places I have lived allow you to take traffic school as an option. You still have to pay the fine but the ticket won’t go on your record and affect your insurance rates I dunno about NY tho.
  12. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Forget about it. No other person would notice in a thousand years.
  13. What are your hobbies?

    Flying lesson with my son today got it down ok just lost the prop.
  14. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    There is a guy on youtube goes by chrisfix and he has two videos- one on how to clean the outside windshield and one on how to clean the inside of so its like 14 steps but it worked! My windshield looks like brand new crystal clear. You use a clay bar on the outside I am gonna test that out on...
  15. How old are you

    My favorite clean joke: Mom: "Billy- go over across the street and see how old Miss Johnson is today". Billy comes back and says "she says it's none of your damn business how old she is!" There is a Canada show called Straight Pipes and they are the ultimate ageist and all but state anyone over...
  16. Any problems with swapping the driver and passenger seats?

    I got this after my gf complained and she said it helps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MZJGYZ7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  17. What are your hobbies?

    No but I thought about opening up an etsy store. This one girl I know makes fountain pens and kills it but they are bespoke and I dont want that kind of pressure. Many things can go wrong as you are turning them sometimes the wood just explodes, or turns out to be cracked inside sometimes the...
  18. Black Honda Civic Aesthetics

    They have different colors. I thought about red but they are pretty bright like a Ferrari so I figured that would be kinda silly but maybe it would have looked good. My other choice was maybe blue. The pic has HONDA on them but they actually say CIVIC...
  19. Black Honda Civic Aesthetics

    Probably cost my infiniti has gloss black there but it was over $30k when new.
  20. Black Honda Civic Aesthetics

    Full disclosure also you would never notice but -overall- the added touches I did add up to the whole. A trunk lip that was pre-painted to match the crystal black. Black brake calipers and the 2nd and 3rd pillar trim is gloss black not flat. I tried to "fix" the original pillar trim by using a...
