  1. got the low oil warning twice!!!

    hello all. I got the 1.5t CVT model last February. and 5 days ago, I took the car for a road trip first time. after driving around 3 hours I took a break for around 40 min. When I hit back to road, maybe 5 min later, I got the yellow oil level low indicator. I stopped the car and waited for...
  2. Car keeps overheating

    I had a similar issue with my 03 Si. on a highway some truck lifted a piece of rock or some sort of construction material and it hit my radiator. I never saw a leak but after almost year later, honda dealer realized a burnt coolant smell from the engine bay and they found a leak. there were...
  3. Car keeps overheating

    how long it took to empty the coolant after Honda filled it up? if it is just a day, you would have a apparent leak. if it took a month. there might be tiny crack that would be harder to spot. since it is still hot outside, you can use distilled water, instead of paying for the coolant until...
  4. What’s the best multimeter?

    I use Uni-T for basic connectivity tests. nothing special and it is cheap Chinese brand. if you want quality stuff, I would say Fluke is one of the well known and respectable brand. I work in an electronics industry probably 80% of the customers are using Fluke. might be pricy but you would have...
  5. The dealers are crazy

    my brother is looking for a new car in NJ area as well. He was interested in new Elantra N line and dealers were asking %15 of the sticker price as a markup. then he found one dealer in Queens and they were not charging mark up. I guess the best way to do it is calling dealers in the neighboring...
  6. Cold air intake or short ram intake ?

    If you will have a engine problem, even it is not directly related to the intake, they can easily blame the aftermarket non Honda part and not cover under warranty. These companies do not even cover for their own mistake until a big legal case comes up. let alone the after market part on the...
  7. Cold air intake or short ram intake ?

    we would like to have a cold air to feed the engine. so CAI is better than SRI. but does it make a difference, I dont think so. maybe if you built a hardcore full setup engine. I put AEM CAI on my 2003 EP3 si. Sound was awesome but performance wise, it doesn't do anything. and I think with...
  8. Need opinions

    this is something I`m considering as well. I`m currently driving the car in short distances in the city but I have plan to do Euro Trip with my civic once the covid settles down. if we put or can we put full spare? and how is the trunk floor will be? is it going to be flat?
  9. Are "Real" wheels really worth it?

    wheels and tires are the only thing that touches to the ground. I wouldn't get replica or cheap stuff on a critical parts like wheels or suspension system. always go OEM or well known brands that produces parts with R&D
  10. 985 Mile 2009 S2000 CR sells for $112,111

    S2000 become a collectors car. good condition or restored ones' value will only increase. no manufacturer will be building similar kind of a setup anymore.

    they have changed a lot, but I wish I would say the same for the build quality. EP3 was not the perfect one but, seat fabric was so much better, it was 8 years old car by the time I got and it has lot less trim noise than a 2018 civic. but Im loving the driving experience on Hatches.
  14. Holy crap the paint on these cars SUCKS

    I just got a 2018 model hatch with just 10K miles on it. oh man, you should see the scrathes, rock chips. you name it. since I have a kid and we will use stroller and car seat. l`ll probably damage more. you can try to get clear coat, but they are expensive, I wonder it is worth on an economy car.
  15. Carpet wheel fender liner/wheel wells

    hey guys, Im writing to the year old post, I just got a 2018 civic Hb sport. carpeted liners are only on the rears right? front fenders are not carpeted? just little bit odd to me so I want to check with others
