  1. My 2017 UKDM Civic Sport Plus Hatchback - Build Thread

    That would make sense considering how much height is required for that. It's just an interesting option! It is on both mirrors with the aspherical edges? I'm jelly. I bought a set of aspherical mirrors for my 2011 M3 and love them so much more. Yeah we don't have the glovebox damper either...
  2. My 2017 UKDM Civic Sport Plus Hatchback - Build Thread

    Yeah its weird how regional differences work out. UK has the crazy panoramic sunroof option, glovebox has a light, parking sensors optional, rear fog lights. Would be interested to see what else is different. Do you get both mirrors with the convex outside edge of the mirror?
  3. My 2017 UKDM Civic Sport Plus Hatchback - Build Thread

    Nice! You gotta document some of the cool stuff us north american guys don't get. Like the headrests or extra blind spot monitoring. I'm jealous of your rear fog light. :)
  4. Interesting post on Oil Life Monitors

    I'm almost at 200k, just following the MM intervals which happens to be 10k miles intervals now.
  5. Car Play in 2018 EX-T and iphone 15

    I was able to get mine to work on the first try with an Anker USB-A to USB C cable braided cable. The 2pack was $7.99 right before iphone15 launch and now its $11.99.. those deviants on Amazon!
  6. Bilstein B6 Struts and Shocks

    I appreciate it! I'm also a big fan of addressing other parts where labor is shared. I have a higher mileage car than most (just hit 168,xxx miles on my 2017!) so I will most likely address it all at once due to the amount of miles on the items. The parts may be good for now but I won't really...
  7. Bilstein B6 Struts and Shocks

    It looks straight forward on the fronts and no worse than typical MacPherson struts. I appreciate it the note about the bushing. I'm looking at other parts to refresh as well since I'm at 167k. At this time, most likely new top hats, spring pads and now, adding that lower control arm if needed...
  8. Bilstein B6 Struts and Shocks

    I've dived into the rabbit hole of suspension frequencies, damper curves, etc for my M3 so I understood! I appreciate the mention about oscillations across bumps, that is helpful to make my decision. I mainly drive my civic on the freeway and the overpass uneven junction connects always felt...
  9. Bilstein B6 Struts and Shocks

    Thanks! I'm on an EX which I suspect are the same springs. Here in San Francisco, its just as bad and I'm on Si 18s so the experience is the same. I'm reaching 166k miles on the original shocks and been patiently waiting for inventory to creep back up for a refresh. I thought about the B4s may...
  10. Bilstein B6 Struts and Shocks

    Are you on stock springs?
  11. How many Miles on your CVT?

    Neither. Work 1-way is 57miles. This car is my trusty mule ;)
  12. How many Miles on your CVT?

    oops, I have a 2017 Civic EX hatchback w/sensing. Mostly run in eco mode for "smoother" roll during traffic. Mostly highway miles, but a fair share of it is low speed traffic. 162k and counting. Still solid!
  13. DIY: Si or CTR Rear Stabilizer Bar on Normal Civic Sedan/Coupe/Hatch

    You are probably right. I believe I grabbed the torque specs from this PDF when Torque PDF was not available yet. https://www.progressauto.com/ecom/download/62.1027.pdf
  14. How many Miles on your CVT?

    Haha, you are probably right. I'm at 154k now. I've done CVT fluid flushes at 50k, 90k, 130k so far. I just follow the maintenance reminders on the car.
  15. Koni Shocks - "Yes, hopefully pretty soon"

    I don't recall seeing any camber plates available for nonCTR. SPC and Whiteline do make lower ball joint camber corrections. https://www.procivic.com/p/ym/2017/civic/spc-front-camber-kit.html?ctid=3404 https://whitelineperformance.com/products/kca468-bushing-kit
  16. Koni Shocks - "Yes, hopefully pretty soon"

    So far I only see it as a backorder on TireRack.
  17. Koni Shocks - "Yes, hopefully pretty soon"

    This is interesting! Going to see if anyone sells the kit soon. My civic rear shocks are developing a slight leak. Ugh, I forgot you have to fully compress the rear to adjust the damper.. that is 10000000% annoying.
  18. How many Miles on your CVT?

    Just broke 150k on mine.
  19. Chef's Ultimate Street Car *Powered by HPD*

    Good luck since its basically aftermarket parts branded HPD.
  20. 7 years after launch, how's the rust looking?

    I've seen some bad rust on some of the ones (not this civic gen) that park outside near the beach from the saltwater.
