Any recommendations for a exhaust that sounds good but not too loud especially so I dont attract to much attraction from cops or wake up my neighbors when I get up for at 3am.
Planning to get an oil catch can on my 2018 1.5t with 86k miles. Is it worth it or not? I live in Arizona so the weather is always hot, except the winter where it gets to 35° at night.
ik civic ppl get quite iffy about red badges on regular civics but I just thought they'd look nice, having actually put them on I'm not so sure, thinking of getting black badges instead
I noticed that my 2026 Civic would have water accumulation on the door sills when I left my car in the rain, which is not a good thing. The quick and easy fix that also makes your interior a bit quieter is to add a set of 2 Door B Pillar Seal Strips, Weatherstrip Edge Molding Trim. I found a pair on Ebay for $12.99 including free shipping. They just push on and hold with no adhesive required, and trim to fit with a pair of scissors. Super easy, and takes about 1-2 minutes for each side. Keeps water and noise out surprisingly well. Highly recommended!
Was glad to see the oil dark because I know it’s working to clean up any sludge bits and backed in varnish inside the engine. I also switched to 5w-30 because I believe it offers better protection on this car with 255k miles on it, I want it to see 500k. Also has a tune which generates more heat.
These scratches and swirl marks really bother me and I want to minimize them as much as possible but don’t know how. Any tips?
Guys, I'm heartbroken. Someone backed into my baby in a parking lot. And the worst part is they drove away without leaving any info. Jerks.
Since the damage seems to be fairly minor, I'm thinking I can replace the bumper myself. That would be great because I don't want to involve my insurance if possible. I won't know for sure about structural damage until I pull the bumper off, but it seems to be limited to the bumper itself and some of the trim pieces. So my question for y'all is can anyone recommend a good place for aftermarket bumpers? I'm open to looking at direct fit replacements or custom parts as well. I'm not looking to cheap out with eBay parts, but I want to avoid dealership prices if at all possible. Where would y'all shop if you were in my shoes? Thanks so much!
I am thinking about changing the head unit in my 16 Civic sedan ext. Have you replaced yours? Show me pictures.
PSA: sorry for the rant, but hear me out.
Ok so don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my civic to death (like my civic is literally my everything fr) but the ONE thing about my car that i find to be an absolute pain in the ass is the lack of power that the car produces.
I have a 2019 civic sport sedan which features a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and is a CVT transmission. The engine only produces a whooping 158 horsepower and it doesn’t have a turbo, so essentially, it’s slow as Christmas. Now I know the other trim models (such as the EX-T and touring) produce a little bit more horsepower than mine because they have the 1.5L turbocharged engine. However, even then, those things are still producing under 200hp. As for the si, the poor thing only produces 205hp (like cmon now, the accord sport 2.0t literally produces almost 50 more hp than the si) which is honestly just sad given that the si is supposed to be one of Hondas “higher performing” cars, with the type r being placed above the si of course.
Anyways, as someone who’s civic only produces 158hp, I pretty much have to drive it in sport mode all of the time in order to have a pleasant driving experience. Believe it or not, I’ve found that when driving my civic, it’s actually dangerous to be merging onto on the highway while in drive (ESPECIALLY if the merge lane isn’t long) because the car genuinely cannot get up to highway speeds in enough time. In order words, if you’re getting into the highway, you need to be in sport, and/or need to turn the AC off.
I know you may be thinking “just tune the engine” but unfortunately thats not an option for me because I need this car to last me until i finish college and as some of you may know, tuning a CVT will just straight up kill the reliability of the car. However, I am looking to get a BMW M4 competition xdrive as my next car. Given that the bmw m4 comp xdrive is a 523 horsepower car, it’s gonna be one hell of adjustment for me since I’m going from a 158hp vehicle, to one that produces 523hp.
I just really wish that Honda didn’t make civics super slow cars. Honestly, I think Honda would have been way better off making the type r produce a horsepower of something in the 400’s, the si in the 300’s, and then the other civic models (sport, EX, EX-T, ect) around 220-250. If we’re being 100% truthful here, anything under 200hp is absolutely diabolical.
Dealing with the classic yet well known 10th-gen AC nightmare and idk what to do next.
Quick specs:
• Car: 2018 Honda Civic Touring 1.5T (Ontario, Canada)
• Mileage: 370k kms
• Engine: Swapped with a used engine previously, current engine has about 100k on it and runs absolutely fine
• Maintenance: Regularly maintained. All oil and fluid changes are always done on time
2 months ago the AC stopped blowing cold air. Took it to the dealer and they diagnosed an issue with the condenser and compressor and replaced both for free under warranty. Now, the AC has died again. I paid the $200 diagnostic fee to the dealer just to hear that this time the evaporator has given out. The dealer is now charging another $2500 after taxes to replace the evaporator (they were initially charging $3000 before taxes but I kinda negotiated the price with them).
Called goodwill and everything, they denied assistance due to the high mileage on the car. Also looked around mechanics and independent shops and they're charging around $1800 to $2000.
I commute heavy every week (about 150 kms per day just for work lol, so I rack up an average of 3000 to 4000 kms every month).
Is it financially a good idea to dump money into a car that has such high mileage, considering that this is my functioning daily driver. I was thinking of grinding it out this winter and making my mind up by Spring 2027.
Should I drive this thing until another major issue (such as transmission) arises, or is it time to look for another car?
Starts roughly around 2k rpms the best way I can explain it is a stutter/ jerk and once it starts it does it constantly every second until I let off the gas does anyone know what’s happening? I have had a vent to atmosphere BOV for 2 years and have had an intake and tune for about a year now and this problem started recently within the past couple months. My guess is that it’s a problem with my bov or some type of boost or vacuum leak
My son bought this 3 weeks ago, a couple days into driving it, he got the “emissions system problem” message. We pulled the codes and it was P0441, P1454 and P04DF.
He during this time had where the car didn’t wanna start right away after a fill up and it was running rough. My previous post everyone agreed was likely the purge valve. We replaced that and he’s been fine, the errors went away. Even filled up since then no problem.
Yesterday he got gas again, with no issues until last night he ran to the gym and on his way home got the “emissions system problem” again! Gets home, we pull codes again and this time is P0441 and P04F1. Watched the live feed from our scanner and the Evaporative System Vapor Pressure at idle was riding in the negative. Not at zero. (Side note we are in Florida, so not sure if that’s an expected reading since we are below sea level) it wasn’t a huge amount in the negative. I think it was like -0.04
Google said it’s a sign that the purge valve is stuck open. But again not sure.
What else do you think the issue could be, since it’s a brand new purge valve. Do we need to consider changing his charcoal canister?
Any suggestions are welcome. We are new to Hondas.
My Civics 10 year warranty extension just expired, and behold my A/C lost its charge again after getting fixed for the 3rd time in my 4 years of Civic ownership. I had it fixed 10 months ago at the dealer under the Honda Canada A/C warranty, where they replaced the condenser and shaft seal for free. But now it’s barely blowing cool air and it’s 30C outside.
Hi all, long time listener first time caller here with a mundane question. I see a lot of posts, particularly from the US (I’m from the UK), of civic’s with external / stick on wind deflectors. Not only do they look great but seem much easier… My “in channel” wind deflectors constantly stop my windows closing no matter what I do (the brand is Edge Visor and it’s a known issue for Civic’s with this brand).
Would you guys out there who have the external ones be able to direct me to where you got your wind deflectors from as I cannot for the life of me find them anywhere online in the UK.
Cheers!
