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

[Los1391]

Keep in mind, that Front Camber Correction Kit from Whiteline (and also the same type from SiriMoto) will not work if you already have or if you are going to replace it with a Spoon Zero Bump Steer Ball Joint Kit.

Good to know, thank you. None of that has been done, I only purchased the kit in order correct the front camber after installing lowering springs.

Swift springs came in today. Have them scheduled to be installed next Friday.
They're going to look so good!

I have these on my si and have been a big fan of how the car ride/handles. You’ll be impressed!

That’s great to hear! I’m stoked.

Those damn deals suck you in…
I was going to cancel my wheel preorder because they were a bit expensive. So they gave me a discount and I said screw it and kept my order.

will you be installing the springs yourself?

I hope to do the install myself/with a friend's help. Said friend put Eibach's on my brother's Si so they know the procedure already. Overall, shouldn't be too tough...but it will be a while before I get to it, maybe around Black Friday time.

Nice! Might as well save the money on install costs if possible.

Not a good day for the FK7 yesterday

Good sized rock fell off of a flatbed in the lane next to me on the way to work in the morning, and my tire pressure light illuminated on the way home

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!

How do you like this setup over the 235? No rubbing issues? Smoother ride?

I'm stock height, so zero rubbing. Ride is great, a bit softer than 235's. I'm planning on going to an 8.5 wheel, at some point.

I live in Kansas City and our roads and highways Are atrocious so a little extra padding seems like the way to go. Is the speedometer still correct with the 245? What is the stock width of the wheel? (I’m on the same one) Thanks

The speedometer change is negligible. If the OEM size says 60mph, the 245 will read 60.7mph...but who drives only 60mph

The stock wheels are 8"

Euro sun visors

i’m doing a full beige to black interior conversion… and one of my pet peeves is that horrible airbag warning on all the US and Canadian sunvisors. Everyone does reviews of CTR and it looks lame with these stupid stickers on it. The US ones have the sticker on the cloth side and the Canadian ones have it stuck on the mirror side. I actually bought some North American ones but it didn’t have the configuration I wanted. Originally I was thinking I would take a US one and a Canadian one and swap the parts. The other option would be a US visor, and then have it wrapped in leather or alcantara (e.g. Sweidit, Overland)

this is one UK market visor and one Spanish market visor I believe. No stickers on either side. both visors come with a little documents strap.

The other interesting thing is that these don’t seem to have the pullout slide action of my original ones. Which honestly I never noticed until I tried to remove them and even then I still cannot figure out why the heck you want that. Maybe on a coupe if the doors are longer?

The only thing I have left to buy is the actual roof liner or I might do something funky and custom
I will get the roof wiring harness to try and hook-up the mirror lights at that time, because Canadian LX doesn't have lighted mirrors. Not that I ever cared, just figure why not try it

Took a pic of my pollen covered car. Sorry about the pole.

My washer fluid tubing to the rear wipers leak on both sides of my car so I tried to delete my rear wiper but the two they sent me were both the wrong size.
FWIW hole is 28mm.
31mm ?
