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

[Doc_Mello]

Saw a thread on here a couple days ago about Meguiars Quik Wax and I figured I’d try it out. Gave the car a wash earlier and finished things off with the wax. For how easy it was to apply I am very impressed.

I did a MUCHHHH needed engine bay detailing.
Just FYI, as long as your cover your intake, fuse box, and alternator, you can spray the engine bay down with a garden hose (Do NOT use a power washer).
I sprayed some GUNK engine degreaser and rinsed with a hose, followed by spraying it down with some tire foam. Let the tire foam soak in for a few minutes, then wipe off with a shop rag.

A wash and a wax

Changed the stock tires to these 18” DAI Autobahns, love the gloss black. Also changed the front grille to delete the chrome and give it a stealthier look to it, process to do everything was about 10 hours. Since I didn’t have a proper lift or jack(Just the emergency tire change jack that comes with the car lol) all in all I really like how it all turned out! Gave it a nice wash and wax! And even found some gel/oil product to help lift fading on the front bumper from my daily commutes, and it worked like a charm! Much more planned for the car, but these really gave some personality to the car and I love it!

Difficult to imagine that it VIBRATED loose ??
Maybe a little Blue Locktite would help, when I get a replacement .

I would advise against using blue loctite. It’s a Phillips head screw and that alone is enough to make it easy to strip out the head. And by its nature, you have to apply force towards the screw to engage and loosen it, kinda tough to apply force when the screw threads into the flexible plastic undertray.

I use permatex silver anti-seize. It has a bit of a sticky nature that won’t allow the screw to vibrate loose, but also won’t lock up if you happen to overtighten that screw.

I hope these are not Phillips head screws but JIS head screws. Either kind should be much easier to firmly grip with a JIS screwdriver.
Generally, the Phillips design is a big fail.

Best cell phone mount I've seen so far. It snaps in place has some swivel and doesn't block A/C. Another plus is some A/C hits the back of the phone keeping it cool. My previous dash mount used to bake the phone. Good price too.

I've been looking for a good cell phone holder. I have an 8 plus so hopefully this one is strong and works.

If you have not done this do it...less then $200 and your shift is way better. Type R shifter and Acuity parts for the win!!
