Long time forum member here. Sold my 2018 Civic Hatchback EX-L a while back and bought into a 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD, and wanted to offer a comparison. I loved my Civic, but the Stinger definitely scratches a lot more of the itch for performance I have. Two totally different cars for...

I have an unlocked Ktuner v1.2, PRL Race MAF Cobra intake kit I'm looking to get rid of. Ktuner: $350 shipped. Perfect condition, comes with Ktuner unit and original cable. PRL Race Cobra intake: $350 shipped. Mechanically perfect condition, cone is slightly wrinkled and the black plastic L...

Any non-Type R hatchbacks running rock guards? I've been looking at the ZL1 Addons website, their non-R version is only for the front, and then obviously the Type R versions account for the fender flares... I have heard non-R models running the Type R rock guards, but I would like to hear it...

I recently purchased some AVID1 AV20 18x8 +35mm wheels for my Civic, which is currently running the stock EX wheels which are 17x7s. FitmentIndustries told me that my stock lug nuts might not work with these new wheels, and they practically forced me to buy their lug nuts. Well, the wheels...

Has anybody thought about doing this, and whether there would be any benefit to gutting out / cutting the stock catted part off the downpipe and replacing with just pipe? My '04 Tahoe's catalytic converter, after 350k or so, finally clogged up enough to where the car wouldn't run properly. Our...

I'm doing this write-up to give insight on both these cars I've had the pleasure of driving, in hopes of helping someone make an informed decision. However, the best thing a buyer can do is drive both for themselves and make their decision that way. But for those who can't, I hope this writeup...

So, I have a 2018 EX-L hatchback with stock exhaust and the hidden exhaust/no rear diffuser. I am wanting to buy this rear diffuser kit and swap it onto mine, however I still have the problem of the exhaust. My long-term goal with my Civic is W1 turbo or equivalent, so whatever I do now I want...

So, my stock tires on my 2018 Civic have 36,000 miles on them and today I noticed a knot / bubble in the sidewall of one of the tires. I plan on replacing the tires as soon as I possibly can, and have already been researching what I should get. Found two tires I like (Douglas Performance and...

I decided to type up something on my experience with Phearable’s 1.5R tune after a few months of usage (used since release), as well as my experience with Phearable 1.5, Ktuner’s Dual 21 base map, Stage 1, and more recently Stage 0 and Stock tunes in hopes of answering any questions one might...

I've only had my 2018 Civic EX-L Hatchback now for 6 months (since May 1st), and as much as I've enjoyed my experience with it, tuning, and learning more about how cars work, I've had thoughts of selling. Even with a Phearable tune, it simply isn't as fast as I want it to be. Doesn't stand out...

I am aware that the hatchback's L15 is technically the weakest in the family of L15s, with the Si's having the strongest internals. A common problem I hear of on these forums is rods. What all would I need to upgrade/replace in my motor to allow it to handle more power safely, whether I simply...

I am well aware that each of these cars fits into their own category and have their pros and cons, but I wanted to hear from people who have driven either or both and see what their experiences were. I absolutely love the hatchback style and while my current goal is to get a Type R, I've also...

So I live in North Mississippi (40 minutes directly south of Memphis TN), and I only know of two other Civic Enthusiasts in the area. Wanting to see if there's anyone else in the area! I attend a car meet in Memphis the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at the Butcher Shop but am not in Memphis...

I am considering getting a custom tune done for my Civic once I have more mods, and am curious about the experience: 1. How long is the process from start to finish? 2. Would it be an issue that I have bad internet (3mbps down, 0.5mbps up at home)? 3. I figure lots of datalogging is required...

I am wanting to get rear garnishes for my EX-L hatchback, and just offhand on Amazon I find these. It claims to only fit 2020-2021 models, but the fake grills in the rear look identical to my 2018. This should be compatible, right? If not could someone link me some that would be compatible?

I've been wanting to install a subwoofer system in my 2018 Honda Civic EX-L Hatchback for the last 2 months now, but didn't have the time. Kept debating on whether or not to call a shop and pay a kidney for them to do it, but turns out today I had the time, and I had some stuff lying around from...

I am getting tired of how quiet my EX-L exhaust is, and I want to change that. I am not wanting to spend $1,000 on an exhaust, but I also don't want the exhaust to sound stupid. I like the Spec-D Sedan Exhaust (can be modified to fit hatchback) sound and price, but I wonder if I just did a...

I've seen people talking about these and was curious as to whether there was any noticeable improvement in one of these over a stock intake? I can just get the silicone hose for $40 and I already have a K&N filter. Would I be better off buying a full out intake system or would this hose kit +...

Is anyone familiar with the paint issues Honda has had with the white paint and the clear coat? My roof's clear coat was nearly gone when I purchased it used, and the hood is practically swiss cheese with all the dings it has in it. I've read online and spoke to a mechanic at AutoNation who told...

I bought my 2018 FK7 a month ago, and I've learned just how easy it is to scuff/scratch the very bottom of the door trim inside if you aren't careful (I bought with scratches already on it), and I was curious if there was anyway to fix it. My Meguiar's and ArmorAll interior sprays do nothing to...
