  1. What is This?
    Hi all, don't have a picture right now, but I wanted to know what the 3 or 4 lines behind the engine bay near the steering column (but on the outside) was, I drilled a firewall access between these wires where the column is and accidentally chipped the actual line itself, on my way to work I...

    Hey guys, I just recently have noticied some squealing coming from my car and it seems as the serpentine belt was stretched after 140k miles, I decided to remove it which I barely got the tensioner to move to release it and popped the belt off, now the tensioner won't budge and the 19mm bolt...
  3. Civic Coupe And Sedan
    So I drive a 2008 Civic coupe and when I bought the car it had no lock mechanism on the driver side door. I replaced it and within a month it broke, I replaced it again and it broke within a month in a half (they were cheap Chinese locks). So the third Tim I coughed up the dough to buy a part...
  4. Civic Hybrid
    This model of civic is supposed to get 40 mpg city and 49 highway but I'm lucky to get over 30 for city or even 40 for highway. Is there any way to get better mileage? I recently replaced the IMA battery last year so that is new enough and I also got new spark plugs put in. What else can I do?
  5. Civic Coupe And Sedan
    So I installed a aftermarket radio, it turns on and functions normally although I have no audio from my speakers, I’ve tried a different head unit and got the same results. I know my speakers aren’t bad because when I hook up the stock radio it works as it should. I’ve tried 2 different wiring...

    Alright so I've seen 2 variations to the mug rr conversion one with a usdm bumper that allows the original headlights to be kept and another that is a full change that requires new headlights which I found a full kit for about 2ish grand on a couple different sites, my question is what do I go...

    Hi, i have a civic 2010 Dx manual, 190k, and yesterday i was leaving work and everything was fine. 3 streets later, my transmission wouldn't shift 1 and 2 gear at all. Almost as if there was no 1 and 2 gear. As if my 3 and 4 gear was my 1 and 2.... i couldnt even move the shifter on the left...

    Hey guys I have a 2009 Civic Si and Ever since I changed out my brakes recently I’ve had a hissing/scraping sound coming out of the wheel well. It is intermittent I might add. Seems to be a heat issue because during the mornings or evenings while cool it doesn’t do it as much. If anyone has any...

    I have a tick coming from somewhere in what sounds like the valvetrain, it's most noticeable if I'm just cruising along and maintaining the same rpm (for example, going 50mph sitting at 2500rpm) but it goes away if I start accelerating from that position. It's also noticeable if I rev it in...

    I've been wanting to lower my car for a while and doing some research here and there I found that Eibach Pro-Kit springs will be the best for me. My next question is about the shocks. Would running these springs with brand new KYB gas struts be ok or not? Would I have to look for Koni Yellows or...

    Hi guys, Recently installed new Tein Flex-Z's on my FG2. These replaced my Koni STR.T's/Eibach Springs that I felt road to harsh/too bouncy. I also went through tophats every week.. Anyway, I install the new Flex-z's pretty easily as they're already assembled. I didn't cut the bumpstocks or...

    I was driving off the highway when I realized my airbag light came on. At that moment I feel the car not accelerating properly. I would slowly step on the gas and the car would have a delay on the acceleration and then rev up to about 2rpm after holding it there. I get off the highway and at...
