To the guy who made the comment about my headgasket... You jinxed me.
Coolant been disappearing without a clear sign of leaking outside haven't seen any contamination in the oil or reservoir but yesterday filled my resivoir to the max level and then 3 hours later plus like 20 minutes drove back home and checked it again to find it halfway temp got hot once when the resivoir was found empty but hasn't overheated yet. Other then Arp headstuds and a gasket kit what else do I need for the repair?
Installed some side markers
Got them wired up to the turn signals so they're on when the headlights are on and do the whole turn signal thing along with activating with the hazards. I plan on installing a rear fog light but am struggling to find more info on that I do have the light assembly already though.
04 civic dx
A mix of photos of my baby throughout my time owning her. Had her since October redid the suspension with Megan racing street series two coilovers skunk2 lower control arms and upper adjustable camber arms. Then the wheels I have for my winter set are the special edition si wheels off the 99 civic si and I have a set of konig dekagrams that are also 15s just different tire size I don't remember their specific tires but for the si ones I got 195/60r15 the others are like 205/65r15 or something then I have the spec d fog lights and grill. I upgraded my audio system with a boss audio pop up radio and Kenwood speakers replaced the stock and their rms is 85w and then installed suede for the door panels and headliner with black suede along with replacing the center console fabric for black leather and red stitching then obviously under the hood I have after market ebay headers and exhaust system I'll be replacing the muffler as it's a bit thin and is practically an echo chamber causing a lot of droning but overall sounds better then before got a handful of compliments from people from my shop and customers at my night job interior I swapped the mirror for the one off the dc5/rsx mirror and I got the spoon mirror lens so I'm not blinded by God during my night drives. Any recommendations for what I should do next? I plan to get the rest of the kaminari aerodynamics kit for it but other then that I'm still unsure.
Cold air intake installed!!
Happy birthday to my civic my uncle bought her off the lot with 7 miles back in 04 and now here she is with new life.
Summer wheels on and I'm getting ready to install my cold air intake
Bought a cold air intake from injen along with picking up some konig dekagrams and some Continental tires. Then hopefully Ill have my new headlights tomorrow to replace these faded ones cause the assemblys are cracked.
Haven't shown her off in a bit
Say hello to my civic of theseus. Recently got the kaminari aerodynamics KTR style spoiler and I plan to get the rest of that body kit before getting the entire car resprayed in ralleye red but more recently around town and at work I've been getting nonstop compliments on the car got me geeking.
New headers and exhaust system
Replaced the headers then got a cheap exhaust system that I plan on using as a base to have some other parts welded on but the exhaust system has an inlet of 2.5 inches I believe and the headers have a similar size inlet as well and I noticed I when accelerating hard it used to shift outta second st about 60ish mph now it does do at 70 and my acceleration feels smoother not sure If I'm just trippin or what but I'm liking it lol. Any recommendations for resonators and what are thoughts on those looped mufflers like the one mugen has cause I've been considering that for the droning.
Skid Plate?
Are there any aftermarket options for a skid plate on the 7th Gen coupe? My original failed during a rainstorm and snapped my alternator belt cause the car to die on the way home and I'd like one a bit sturdier and actually protects my oil pan and whatnot
Rsx mirror installed
Got the rsx and spoon mirror lens
Rsx spoon mirrors?
So apparently the bolt pattern for the rear view mirrors are the same so Im ordering an rsx mirror to go with the spoon rear view cause holy does the anti glare make a difference at night but I'm curious if anyone's tried to use the side mirrors on the em2 the same of the mirrors look the same as mine but other then that I'm unsure.
