  1. Best time to shift when accelerating.

    Hey guys, I've got a 2017 Honda Civic EX-T Sedan MT. My question is that when I have to speed up to get onto a highway I normally try to change gears at 3-4,000 RPM, but it's not as smooth as when I shift compared to regular acceleration. I follow the handbook normally, but the handbook has...

  3. Which kind of fuel should I be using?

    So I've got a 2017 Honda Civic EX-T manual transmission and I've got a lead foot, but mpg is still kind of important, so I'm not flooring it at every light, just most of them. My question is should I use a high octane fuel, or just stick with 85 octane? And is there a noticable difference in...

  5. DIY fog bulb replacement

    So I'm changing my headlight and fog light bulbs for new ones, the headlight ones are easy, but I have no idea how to go about changing the fog lights.

  6. Popping the clutch

    So I've got a 6MT 2017 Civic Sedan and my question is this. I always park with the electronic parking break, I don't leave it in 1st gear when I park it out anything else.

  9. Exhaust for 6 MT sedan

  10. I messed up.

    So while I was driving my 6 MT 2017 Civic (which I'm still breaking in and has 513 miles on it) I had to speed up rather quickly when I pulled onto a road where the speed limit is 45mph.
