oberstja Rallye Red Sport Hatch

[oberstja]

Oh brother, that is such a nice hatch. I have the same one in red, 2018 with the spacers you mentioned. Garage Line does a great staggered set for $200

I've heard good things about GarageLine actually. Once I get in a little better of a position I'll splurge and get a set of them to try out!

Reached a new goal today. Reliability has been great with this Civic so far based on my experience, with routine maintenance, and having a tune for almost 40,000 miles now, it’s running like a champ.

Update time.

I'm back on Avid.1 wheels, this time AV27 matte bronze 18x8.5 +35 with Goodyear 235/40R18 all season tires.

Cleaned up my engine bay and added a few new caps from Boomba racing to replace the plastic OEM ones.

Also got my AC condenser replaced free of charge thanks to the service bulletin being out there. On the cusp of hitting 90,000 miles

Checking in at 95,000 miles, changed my oil, coolant, trans and brake fluid recently and have not experienced any problems with my car. Brakes are OEM and front ones are at 45% and rear are 40%. Tires only have 10k miles on them so far. Daily commute right now is roughly 70 miles (mostly highway) and I'm averaging 32mpg. I drive through tons of rain with my PRL intake and have 0 issues with hydrolock, I am very attentive while driving and avoid deep water on the road when possible, but I've also driven through deep puddles and come out just fine.

Had to replace my fog light bulbs and noticed my laminx tint needed to get replaced as well. New LED fogs are looking good, now waiting to get new laminx in from Amazon and i'll be redoing them soon.

Still loving your hatch. You should get one of these to accent your front end. I love mine. Subtle, but aggressive. And of course, affordable.

I'm taking off the Type R spoiler this summer. Have not decided if I am gonna switch to a different style or patch the holes up. In the meantime though it's clean at least

I respect but don’t understand. Maybe get with a Sport owner that upgraded and put the HDMI exhaust on? Put silver vs R badges to be a sleeper Si?

Keep the Type R spoiler. Especially since you got a true size one rather than the cheaper low quality undersized one. Such a hassle to remove it and sell it. It's already good imo. Why remove when it's already good?

 

[oberstja]

Gonna keep the R wing on for time being but may change it in the future. More options are available now for spoilers vs. when I got mine almost 3.5 years ago currently sitting just under 110k miles at this time, going to replace all my brake pads and get a valve clearance adjustment as well.

113k mile check in, everything is looking good. Got a near pristine Type R wheel that I will be installing to replace my worn down OEM wheel. Also installing a new ABS dynamics front lip very soon!

 

[oberstja]

Type R steering wheel install was a success as well as the new ABS dynamics front lip. Starting to have fitment issues with one of my unity performance side markers unfortunately so I have ordered some replacement markers that will go on this weekend

Checking in at 127,000 miles. Did some minor cosmetic changes including new fog lights. Newest addition is the Seibon carbon fiber hood, I’ll be installing ppf on it next week and will also get a sun strip put on the windshield

 

[oberstja]

Update: satin PPF for the carbon fiber hood and sun strip are now on. Went on a cruise this weekend to Mt. St. Helens with the PNW 10th Gen Civic group and had some fun.
