Hello, I'm just making this thread to share my experience with my 2018 Honda Civic hatchback lx (Canadian spec). I got the car last September as my first car, and it was the best purchase to date! At first I loved everything about it except that it has a CVT tranny.
At first I had my thoughts of trading in the car but many of you guys said no to getting a sport manual and said that dealerships love idiots such as myself atm. When the car was driven around the winter time it did have the "oil dilution" everyone was so scared of, mine had it especially bad. There was a quarter of a liter of gas mixed with the oil.
The oil dilution problem was fixed when I stopped by the dealer for the oil change notice. They fixed the oil dilution free of charge, thanks Kitchener Honda! Shortly after that I treated my car to a set if new wheels. Keeping the same OEM size of tire but going with a 16"×8.5" +20 offset for a more aggressive poke stance. I sold the factory Hankook Optimos tires and got michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ sized at 215/55/R16 93V on my new MST time attack rims sized at 16"×8,5" +20 offset. I still had the OEM rims with Michelin X-Ice on them as my winter set of wheels.
The total cost of new summer wheels where $3180 CAD. $900 bucks for the tires and $2280 for the rims. It was wheel worth it since the car can actually handle like a speed train on rails. I've won my fair share of races against cars that I thought would beat me but somehow I pulled out a win, but that's a topic for a different thread.
I'm saving and planning on doing a Intake, Exhaust and a possible BOV, followed by a tune or a flash tune from ktuner.
I've posted pics below, leave suggestions on what I should do next!
Tnx for being a great community!
