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

I changed the engine oil on my Civic on Wednesday. That was fun! I love changing my own oil. Car now has a cool 23,000 miles on it.

Installed D2 Lowering Springs on my civic EX today. Tough job but got it done and very happy with the way it handles.

Finally installed my sportlines and camber arms that i had sitting in the garage for months. Perfect drop, even though i kind of scrape on the driveway lol. Also, took advantage of the nice weather and gave her a much needed bath.

are those stickers that you put on there?

Put on a nice pair of summer wheels on, 16x8 +20 mst time attacks on michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ (215/55R16 93V) gave my car a very nice look, has some decent poke. It also handles like it drives on rails!!!

Yea, they are high temperature decals. I put them on after the paint but before the clear coat.

Stage 1 and Stage 0 are night and day. You may as well switch ASAP.

Got my camber arms installed and an alignment. About damn time I got it done.

I have yet to install my chamber arms. But the rear dont seem that far off to me even though the sportlines recommended them

I thought my car looked fine until we got it on the alignment rack...lol. Luckily for me i got the camber arms installed at the same time as the sportlines.

Finished the switches and harness and electronics. Phase 1 is complete. Whew. Passenger footwell switch box and raspberry pi are next up. I will probably want to shorten some of the cables in my hardness, but that will have to wait until I get my shorter odb2 shorter as I got to pull every thing out to swap the cables.

My phone usually sits horizontally above the head unit on a vent mount displaying more tunerview gauges, but I needed it to take the pics. Too many screens and lights... almost. My car is getting very festive in the cockpit. Will be even more so once I install the console illumination.

Write up coming soon

The splash guards look great! Mine should arrive tomorrow. How long did they take you to install?
