What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[gtman]

I have to ask. It's always cool seeing these slammed cars but how do you use them as a daily driver? Around my way, all of the low body kit parts would be destroyed in a week.

I could be wrong, but this car (to me) looks bagged.... but I feel the same way. Looks great, but I stress out driving my hatch that’s only dropped roughly an inch or so, I couldn’t imagine being lower than that.

He is correct. It’s on bags, push of a button I’m very close to stock height again.

When I was on coilovers I wasn’t too much higher, but I got tired of breaking front lips so I went bags. (This pic is on bc coils)

So we did a thing with the suspension. Next up is the greddy lip then new wrap!

Those Aodhan AFF7's?

Plastidipped my rear emblems. The Civic turned out OK, but as I was pealing off the excess from the H, the last 1/8" stuck and pulled off the chrome so I have to redo it. Really debating if the $80 is worth it for the OEM Honda ones. And before anyone says anything Ive had my emblems/wheels on my 04 4Runner for over 6 years and its holding up fine in the AZ heat.

After having to redo my plasti dip every time a detailer screwed it up, the $80 set is so worth it.

My 18 si finally hit 20k miles so i decided to jump aboard the hype train and replace the Honda mtf with Amsoil. It did noticeably improve the smoothness of the shifts. Definitely recommend.

Sold my W1 and abandoned the idea of tuning my hatchback in favor of leaving it reliable with modest bolt ons. Next will be either front pipe / Downpipe or Eibach Pro Kit.

Edit: actually the pro kit is out of stock EVERYWHERE. FP/DP it is

Nothing wrong with that decision. But I can't pass up the opportunity to comment on your "reliable" comment. Based on my tuning survey of over 700 tuned CivicX's, we're seeing nearly nearly 98% reliability. And the cars running mild tunes and limited bolts ons are more like 99+% reliable.

Got off my ass and did a CVT fluid change with Honda HCF-2. It's not as jerky when I shift out of R now, so that's good. I was only a little overdue at 43555 miles on the clock. lol

Did a oil change while I was at it since I had it up in the air and 20% oil life

I should have used a different word.

I more meant “easy for me to maintain should something go wrong”. I’m far away from the most reputable tuner and just don’t want the headache of not being able to easy address anything quickly

Complete bumper conversion. Next up is the D2 lowering springs and taillights(both are already in my trunk and itching to be installed)
So happy with how the new bumper makes it look so damn aggressive oh and also switchback fog lights installed as well
