Funny thing is that you haven't busted any myths. If you had actually thought through what you are doing, nothing you "discovered" is surprising. First off, lets talk brakes. The one big concept to understand is that BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE CAR. The brakes slow and eventually stop the wheels...

It’s installer error, pure and simple. There is nothing wrong with fasteners if they are used correctly. Part of the problem lies in the service instructions provided by Honda, as their diagram doesn’t properly show how to reinstall the panel, and the often inexperienced techs doing oil changes...

I would just get a battery tender and hook it up. That is pretty much all you have to do. It is better to have a full tank of gas. Less air in the tank means less chance of condensation since it is Autumn and the temps are falling.

Just to clarify, the factory oil is 0w20. As far as which oil is best, keep in mind that there are often competing requirements, so there is no such thing as “best.” One of the driving forces is CAFE requirements, which is forcing manufacturers to squeeze as much fuel efficiency as they can...

That's common on any factory car. Some may have more or less of it, but I'm sure you can see it on any factory paint if you look hard enough. Even my NSX has some. It's not worth trying to fix. Believe me, it will get scratched and beat up in no time, so that will be the least of your issues.

That is a stock tire size.

Not at all. I just know that "efficiency" isn't a single item. There are degrees of efficiency, especially with something like an engine. And here is the answer you don't seem to understand: for all practical purposes, changing the intake has no effect on gas mileage. Any small improvement in...

Look underneath the car (remove the splash shield first) to see if there are any leaks, such as from the plug or oil filter. Clean up the old oil first, then see if anything leaks after you drive it around for a while. I agree that it looks like someone spilled some oil when refilling the...

So then why did you ask why people didn't recommend aftermarket filters for increased fuel economy? The point is that air filters do not make an appreciable improvement in fuel mileage, precisely because they have a negligible impact on either pumping losses or overall engine efficiency...

Because the restriction is negligible compared to the throttle plate. It would only make a difference near WOT, but at that you’re obviously not concerned about saving fuel.

An air filter will not increase your gas mileage. Not with all the sensors and computers controlling the A/F mixture. Increasing the amount of air won't change that.

Your Honda dealership isn't Honda. Dealerships are independent franchises, not a part of Honda Manucturing.

The part you want is 74114-TGH-A00. It is listed as fitting the Type R but is the same part for all the Civics. Depending on how badly damaged the rest of the underbody shield, you may also need the fasteners. In fact, you may need to replace the entire underbody shield ( 74110-TGH-A00 ). It...

That letter isn't from Honda...

run the same pressures. They are set for the car, not the tires.

If it doesn't wipe off, the paint is damaged. You can try polishing it. Hopefully it hasn't eaten all the way through the clear coat.

Guess you never got a PPI?

Any digital piano that can fit in the back of a Civic will almost certainly have plastic keys. It's not like an acoustic piano, where temp and humidity wreaks havoc on the tuning. A little cold won't harm it.

Can't you just fold down the back seat?

My experience with PPF and ceramic coating: I ceramic coated my Civic 4 years ago (Oct. '17). I did it myself, using Gyeon Q2. I had full body PPF installed on my NSX, mainly because the optional Andaro paint was a $7300 option and it was a multi-stage paint system that I wasn't sure other body...
