  2. Another oil dilution post 80% oil life

    Not sure what you expect to hear. iT's nOt aN isSUE as far as my 2017 civic goes, but then again, I live in California. I change my oil every 4500 miles, get a oil sample analyzed every 10k, reports show engine wear as being very good. Sounds like you're not happy with the car, so sell it and...

  4. Best Exhaust for Non Si SEDAN! 10th gen 1.5 TURBO

    Neither one of those exhausts are going to be louder than your current straight pipe. You'll need to get a downpipe as suggested, or increase the overall diameter of the exhaust pipe from what you have now. Be aware with a down pipe you probably have problems when it comes time for a smog check...
  5. HKS Hipermax IV GT

    There can be two ways to change the height of the coil overs, the wrong way is by compressing the spring to make it shorter, or the recommended way is the adjust the perch hieght area underneath the spring. In the photo below, you want to make any changes in height by adjusting the top gold nut...
  6. HKS Hipermax IV GT

    No real problems with my setup. I'm lowered about 1.5" ( 38mm) and have the firmness settings about 5/8 of the way to full firm on the front struts, and 1/2 way to full firm on the back struts. Wheel set up is 225/4/ -17 Michelin Pilots 4 on Enkei 17" x 8" rims. Only suspension issues I've...
  7. 15" Wheels on base/LX?

    Just a heads up, there wasn't a whole lot of clearance between the LX calipers and the 15" wheels. The wheels were from a 9th gen civic that I was using while I was getting the 10th gen rims and tires mounted. If I get some time this weekend, I'll bolt on the 15" wheels and try and get some...
  8. 15" Wheels on base/LX?

    I can verify Honda's OEM 15" x 6" wheels with 205-60 15" tires will fit with no issues, other than looks a little weird having rims and tires that small on a 10th gen.
  9. oil recycle denied

    If you live in Riverside, they have free curbside pick up for up to 5 gallons of oil along with old filters and oily rags. Don't remember the number to call, but you can probably find in on-line City Services. If you live outside the city, Pick-a-Part had a big dump tank you could use, they...
  10. Upgrade recommendations

    I believe the OP has the 2.0 engine, which is going to limit his off the shelf choices. I only know f the Invidia N1, and the Ark Performance DT-S center conversion exhaust as being specifically made for the K20 equipped sedans. Ones around $600, the other is around $1200. If you want cheaper...
  11. Upgrade recommendations

    What's your budget? that's going to determine the practicality of a lot of recommendations.
  12. Invidia exhaust questions

    You'll need to modify the hanger brackets to match the mounting locations on the hatch. Otherwise it should fit.
  13. Oil change and oil catch can.

    The question I have is all the guys who say catch cans aren't needed, what sort of real world experience do you base that opinion on? I've run a Mishimoto catch can for the last 5 years, it does collect a measurable amount of oil, especially as the engine miles accumulate or if I drive the car...

  17. Wheel Recommendation?

    Just from my experience, black wheels are a royal P.I.A. to keep clean. That's the color my wife chose for her rims, it only takes a day for them to start getting dusty after cleaning them. A brushed silver or gunmetal gray finishes are a lot more forgiving when it comes to looking clean.
  18. Should I run a BOV or no?

    It's your car, you have the right to ruin it if you want. Be sure to run turbo whistles in your exhaust as well to enhance and complete the cool car sound effects. :rolleyes...
  19. KTuner in California?

    Got mine from Phearable, along with their 1.5 non-SI tune last year with no problem....
  20. GR Corolla announced - 300 hp, front/rear LSDs, carbon fiber roof, triple exhaust

    Jeez, and people complain about how many fake vents are on the Civic, the front end of that thing is nothing but one huge vent, and the hood vents look straight out of a JC Whitney catalog. Too each their own, but that Corolla is fugly as hell in my book.
