Today I installed a valve cover hardware kit from Downstar inc. I like they way it looks and matches the other purple elements i already had, BUT i'm not sure i reccommend it. Not really satisfied with quality and it took them 2weeks to ship an "in stock" item.. Cant help thinking i paid 100$...

Also if you're lucky, your PCV hose (that S shape thin tube you have circled) could be ripped underneath and that'll be oil blowby. Easy check easy fix. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/pcv-hose-wear-and-tear.85347/

I'll try and help as well since I have been monitoring those a while now.. ECT : normal -> 80°C (176°F) - limit -> Keep in mind that your radiator's fan by factory, turns on full speed (3rd scale) at 109Celcius. In our Greek hot summer and under load (uphill, traffic) I have seen 110-111C and...

I also had the FK8 OEM mount on and I installed the PRL mount 1000km ago. (it is now available in Europe from A4h in the Netherlands). I have to say you shouldn't expect ANY miracles with wheel hop Nick.. I mean the PRL mount eliminated 90% of engine movement when changing gears and even more of...

But if I'm not mistaken European CRVs (some at least) are also made in the UK. Meaning those rods are easily available in Europe and bottom line we don't know..

Are you sure about that? Like have you actually seen that rod code? That's not the news i hoped for... It's not like i'm about to get forged internals.. Like i mentioned in my initial post, i would probably do that if my engine blows. And yes i agree with you; if that time comes i'll go...

Naah, I don't like that idea at all.. Not really any gains from that, if any, + I am custom tuned so that will mean I'm throwing away 350€ that I paid for the tune and will need a new one. So we're talking ~800€ to MAYBE get a few Celcious lower..

What would you do then? Keep in mind I'm an OEM+ mentality guy like you (OK maybe ++ 😅). Already got excellent tires, lightweight wheels, OEM+ brakes, sway bars+rigid collars, FSTB (wouldn't like any more frame stiffness), about to get SI springs cause I just want 1cm lower & a tad stiffer in...

I have checked that sticker more than once, looking for my paint color code & I cannot understand how I didn't see that.. Yep, it's a BB engine.. @Hondanickx you have the same one, right? Any info on our rods?

Yeah, I've been here actively 4years and no one has ever mentioned it.. I'm starting to believe this might be a typo on my registration... Tried but couldn't see the actual number on the motor..

All European sedans are made in the powerplant in Turkey and yes they come with either the 1.6 diesel or the 1.5t. Mine has a BB engine which I have never seen anyone in here mention...

Thanks for the answer. 1. Yeah I was looking at that FX racing tube but didn't want to cancel my fog light.. Those 2 intakes suck air from that specific part at the lowest part of the engine bay. The only air that goes in there from the bumper is the one that already went through the...

Come on people! @gtman my annual update on your tuning thread is closing up and i want to include intercooler pipes as well (!), so i need at least question 2 answered to decide! @86salmon and other senior members here that know better..

Nice sunny day here today, so it was time to change my rear brakes with EBC slotted rotors & Yellowstuff pads that I had waiting in the basement. Everything went smooth and the electric brake retraction trick worked perfectly, but I might have an issue....... The Yellowstuff pads came with these...

You have to drain radiator+engine block+tank to get all of it out. Pdf code is *CivicX* (stars included in code) edit: for some reason civic manual didn't upload although uploading is supposedly finished. Look it up in the forum, it's where I got it from..

I've been itching to ask these a really long time now and can't help it anymore.... So: 1) My first mod, 4years ago, is my short ram. I kept reading about people's opinions in here and was leaning towards the 2 most popular choices, PRL CAI and 27won. I actually wanted to get the 27won because...

That seems suspiciously low of a price.. That one below is on the forum's marketplace and it's considered a great deal.. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/acura-rl-bbk-complete-kit.85302/

My sedan is made in Turkey as well. I am also using the PRL rear motor mount but i would never have paid ~300EUR for that, if I had the 1.6diesel like you do. I would say forget about an upgrade and get a Honda mount from your local dealer (IF you need one). The engine's movement isn't that bad...

At this point I would say you are overthinking this. There is NO way you could tell any difference between USR or GD series IMO.. Just go for the look you prefer. (I also considered the possibility of a drilled rotor cracking when I made my choice)
