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

[zhou qizi]

It's easy for the police to inspect our cars here. For the purpose of the W indicator, if they are suspected of illegal modifications: pay a fine (approximately $80) → dismantle all modified parts and restore them to the original factory → go to the police station to take photos and register. In the end, if you still want to change, no one will take care of you until you are caught again next time, and the cycle repeats itself. Especially in small and medium-sized cities, this situation is even more serious. In Shanghai, if you are not reported, the police will basically not control you. By the way, changing the color of the vehicle logo here is illegal modification.

Wanted something to do to the car, so I added a knockoff eBay HFP spoiler, and a CDM turbo decal. Had won an offer in eBay for a borla exhaust i would've installed today, but the guy flaked at the last second and cancelled. Said the fees/shipping wäre too much. I had paid $600 in total, so I don't think he was going to make much of a profit. Kinda don't blame him lol. I'll just wait for another good deal to come along.

I love the look of the mini-duckbill. Did you notice much change in the rear view mirror visibility after the install? That's been my only concern. As your pics illustrate, they look pretty sharp on white hatches!

Man I feel mad for you! Not gonna lie here in the US it is illegal to have certain modifications but the cops wont mess with you unless they feel like you are suspicious for bigger crimes like having arrest warrants, illegal firearms or drugs or if they just feel like harassing you because of the color of your skin. Very unlikely but it is possible and same process they give you a-fix-it-fine until you go to police station and show that its legal. For example my Honda had purple front side markers and front plate was not on the front and the back plate was old so the reflective film was wearing off, my purple lights stood out to the cop and he decided to pull me over and gave me a warning about all the violations now I didnt have to fix any of it probably wouldnt be a problem if I didnt have to take the same route to work every morning where that same cop would be waiting and would most likely catch me again.
But we’d never get a situation like in the picture you have posted cops here are too lazy especially in bigger cities

I honestly never even notice its there, so I don't think you'll have any visibility issues. They're pretty cheap on ebay now too. Around $60.

Never ending saga - replaced the MAF sensor with a new OEM one. Hopefully that solves my recent code issue… the dealership (that recently did my transmission) was concerned that the actual wiring harness had an issue but the wires were never cut or spliced so I doubt it… with the 27won intake you have to extend the harness by removing the factory plastic elbow and putting a new one on.

If a MAF gets wet, could it ruin it? I’m trying to think of how the first one could have gone bad… my carbon fiber hood has vents and rain gets in there… hmmm

A new problem has been discovered. There is a leak in my transmission. Preliminary observations indicate that this should be caused by cracks here, and the leakage is very slight. Do you have any good suggestions?
① Glue
② Lead
③ Welding
④ Replace

Visited my mom the other weekend and am glad to see she's taking good care of the Civic (I gave it to her about a year ago when I got my Stinger).

Received side windows visors and the side covers for the engine bay. Both cheap and easy to put on ordered another order from prl cause my dumb ass thought the Cai came like this oh well can't wait to turn some wrenches when it arrives..

Thanks for the pic. It seems to hide the rear wiper well in the mirror. Mine should be here Monday. I went with the supposedly 'real carbon' version from dtmmotors on eBay. Thanks again for the inspiration and information.

Added some Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 plus to the factory wheels & suspension. I went with a 245/40Z18 rather that the 235's. I like the added meatiness personally. So far (30ish miles) they feel great!
