I installed my timing belt and tensioner and its 100% in correct time but im worried about the tensioner. I installed it according do the charm li manual but i just rewatched some videos and it seems like everyone disagrees on how to install this tensioner. Some people crank the engine over 2 times with the pin out and then torque it. The belt *feels* like it has good tension but idk

Wondering if anyone knows a solution for this. Will not start and already checked the ground cables.

Was thinking on getting these avid1’s with the Toyo extensia HP II on my em2 anyone have any experiences with either of these🤔 It’s my daily driver and isn’t lowered yet but I am planning to so if that helps idk

5 speed, Got it for 500$ (cad) put a little 3” lift, need to do some clearance to run bigger tires, these are definitely to small lol solid fishing rig and daily

Anyone else lifted?

Someone backed into my rear quarter panel and thought might as well
$3000 Maaco paint job🤷
Tell me what you think

was doing a coolant flush, the bubbles wont stop even after fifteen minutes. don’t smell anything or see white smoke. heaters on. thoughts?

yea sorry its not in text form i just wanted to visually and verbally explain what i mean c: any feedback would be helpful thank you. this is your reminder to change your cabin air filter by the way

I have an EU8 2002 Honda Civic 5dr hatchback with the D16V1 1.6l petrol engine. It’s mileage is currently sitting at 186,000 miles.

Apart from having to change the head gasket recently at 184,000 miles, the cars been very reliable. It was my dad’s old car before he gave it to me a year ago, but overall the cars been in the family for 13 years now. When we got it the mileage was 96,000, and now that the head gasket has been changed I’m sure it’ll go many more miles.

There are still a few of these driving around in the UK where I’m from, but they are slowly disappearing. And if I’m being honest, as happy as I am with this car I do definitely want to drive a better car in the new future.

Mechanically this car is great and the 5 door hatchback is extremely practical, with tons of rear legroom and a spacious cabin overall. But the suspension and ride quality is quite rubbish, and cabin isn’t very well insulated so wind noise is very loud. Fuel economy is nothing special either, I get 30-35 UK mpg average on mixed urban and motorway runs.

The bodywork isn’t the best either, the cars been crashed into twice and half the panels have been changed. I plan to drive this car to 200k miles at least (I only drive like 5k miles a year) but it’s a shame because I don’t know what I’d do with this car if I were to get another car. It’d be quite difficult to sell this car to someone given the mileage and crash history, and i definitely don’t want to scrap this car.

Idk that’s just a bit of background about my particular civic. I’m just wondering though for people in this thread how long do you plan on driving your civic, and what do you like and dislike about your civic? And do you guys also feel like changing/upgrading to a better car too?

Its kind of a shitbox but i love it. Im new to cars and want to know where to start/what should do first.

Got a P0344 on my lunch break, and car ran rough. Towed it back home and went to inspect my cam position sensor, but the belt had no tension at all. Timing was done by previous owner 10k miles ago, currently at 200k. Time to learn a new skill I guess.

I had the scap yard come and pick it up on a flat bed truck, but before that I completely removed the suspension components from the car. To my surprise, the car wasn’t scraping on the ground even without a suspension.

Currently working on my 05 civic with the 1.7L d17a1 engine. And am currently working on replacing head gasket but the resurface machinist told me b4 I bring it in to make sure the valves are closed. How would I do that. Any help is appreciated thank you

So far I’ve picked out 4 rims I like but I would like to get more variety and see what other people have chosen. The theme I’m going for is red and black one of my fav 2 color combos. Any ideas are appreciated, and if you’ve got any please include a link or image 🙂
