  1. Enough Talk... Who has actually changed their CVT Fluid?

    That's because Honda will tell you anything so that you buy their fluid at $19 a liter. Amsoil is probably better than the OEM fluid and therefore you're mixing a higher quality product with theirs. Now if you buy off the shelf CVT fluid from Walmart or something, I would anticipate a problem...
  2. Noise coming from front of car after first oil change

    Yes, you can safely drive it without the shield installed. Some people remove theirs completely for easier access. I had something similar happen to my Toyota where the guy forgot to bolt up the whole bottom panel and I was hearing a scraping sound as soon as I pulled off and hit a decent...
  3. Strange Question About 2017 LX Sedan Undercarriage

    Wow, so you were able to find them. Nice job. Appreciate the follow up.
  4. Strange Question About 2017 LX Sedan Undercarriage

    Thanks. That makes sense. I was trying to search for an answer too, but didn't know what to call those things. Didn't think little black rubber rectangles near wheel well would result in a productive search. Lol.
  5. Strange Question About 2017 LX Sedan Undercarriage

    So the girlfriend pointed out something under the car this morning before she took it and asked what it was. Who knows why she was looking under the car. Lol. Anyway, I couldn't answer because I have no clue what it is or what it's for. I couldn't get a pic before she took the car (I'll try...
  6. For Sale - Rare Car Audio System - Amp, Subs, Box in NJ 07306

    For Sale is the following system. No parting. Pickup only or willing to meet if close enough. This amp and sub combo hits really hard and provides clean sound and power. I never turned the gain up past a 1/4 and it still hit really hard. Pics and Specs below. Looking to get $300...
  7. Lowering car = blown axles?

    This is exactly correct. When you drop (and for that matter, lift) your car aggressively, you're always putting additional stress on the suspension components and putting them in positions (angles) they were not designed to operate at. Obviously there's a difference between lowering an inch or...
  8. First Oil Change

    Quick question... not sure the manual said, have to go back and look at it. Suppose you do the oil change, tire rotation, etc. yourself. How do you reset the code? Also, suppose my oil is still at a high percentage, but I'm getting a tire rotation code. Is there a way to do the tire rotation...
  9. CVT Fluid Change

    There's no way I'd change the CVT every 10K miles. In my opinion, 30K is more than sufficient. You could probably go 50K depending on driving style and conditions (highway v. stop and go) As for lifetime and those claims... I have a older Toyota and I kept wondering when to change the ATF...
  10. Trading Honda Civic 2016 EX w HS for Honda Civic 2017 Touring, worth it?

    This is funny and probably true. To the OP, if it were me, I'd just customize the 2.0 with a cold air, headers, turbo or supercharger, etc. If you have a 5 year loan with say 4 years left, it's $80 x 48 = $3840 extra. For that you could do a lot to the car you have. I'm sure more options...
  11. I hit a big pothole

    Like Howelldaddy said... You don't tip. It's their job. I don't know exactly why it's this way in NJ or when it took effect (been that way as long as I've been alive). Your "public safety issue" reasoning might be exactly what they used to pass it here. The assumption probably being a few...
  12. I hit a big pothole

    We have some of the stupidest laws in the country. The not being able to pump gas yourself is definitely one of them. You have to wait for an attendant to get to you which sometimes takes longer than if you were able to get out and pump it yourself. Sometimes it's because of so many cars at...
  13. I hit a big pothole

    Most toll roads anywhere in the country supposedly to maintain the roads and some of the worst roads in the country. On top of that, they don't fix shit. I feel your pain. Hit a pothole with my Toyota about 3 weeks ago. Had to replace a tire and redo an alignment that I just got 6 months...
  14. Weird beam cutoff on LED headlights (EX-T)

    They look really nice. Gotta love that bright white light over stock. Quick question. When you install the LED bulbs in the low beam, are the LEDs facing up and down or left and right if that makes any sense. Thanks for the mounting pic too. Looks like a good place to put them.
  15. Weird beam cutoff on LED headlights (EX-T)

    Yeah, I hate when people turn on every single light on their car for no reason. I'm sure they definitely help in the fog. Good to know you've never gotten flashed with the fogs on. They look really nice. Probably mostly camera exposure, just thought I saw some light projecting high on the...
  16. Weird beam cutoff on LED headlights (EX-T)

    That's an awesome comparison. Thanks for all the different angles and the opinion. Appreciate the time it took for you guys to do this. Both sets of bulbs look really good. I have 5K OPT 7 HIDs on my other car and absolutely love them. I think I'll go with the Hikari LEDs and yellow fogs on...
  17. Weird beam cutoff on LED headlights (EX-T)

    Man, I would definitely be interested in this since these are the exact two HID v LED bulbs that I am deciding between. Would really appreciate it if you guys could do this !!
