2023 Honda Civic Sport Touring

Hi all! I’m purchasing this car tomorrow and I’m wondering what y’all would recommend for some tasteful mods, going for that OEM+ feel. I’m also interested in potentially some light engine mods. It’s the 1.5L Turbo and a CVT transmission. From reading here I understand there isn’t a lot you want to do to push horsepower on a CVT but is there anything light? Particularly id love to hear more of the turbo noise as long as that’ll be safe for the transmission. Warranty is not a concern.

Thanks your time!

Spent -$500. help my civic has a battery sign.. I’ve done everything

I really need help. I have a 2012 Honda civic and a few days ago I started getting battery sign issues and my car turned off so I went to get it changed and it worked but then the battery sign kept coming on & I gave a call to my mobile mechanic who was able to jump me coming from work after it died.. I was devastated I need my car to take me, my brother & my homie to work 8 hours shift

I can’t stand car problems. I managed to pay him $500 to change my alternator because it wasn’t charging my battery properly. The one I have on there is already new alternator that I bought 3 months ago. He changed my spark plugs because it needed to get changed badly.

I just got back from work 40 mins ago and turned on my car drove around the block, it was great! Driving fine with no lights on dash. I park and the min I am about to turn off the car.. there it was the battery sign, gave a call to my mechanic and he said he can come and try to re change the alternator? I’m confused why would he even do that

I have spent $500 on a car and I don’t even know what’s wrong with it. I am so desperate and in need of help. Thank you

2026 honda civic already showing some signs of rusting

I’m not sure if I should take it back to the dealer, but the inside door hinges of my Honda Civic that I got two months ago are already turning orange. I was kinda shocked seeing it and I’m not sure if it’s something I should take to the dealership. Any advice?

2025 Hybrid Touring - Stereo Display Issues

i have a 2025 civic hybrid touring and i purchased it 12/28/24. 12,800 miles and i've already had issues with the stereo display twice and i've had to take it to the dealership both times.
first time was february 2025. turned the car off and the stereo display stayed on and playing music. dealer kept it for 4 days and replicated the issue a few times but ultimately said there's nothing they can do.
last week i got a TCU 8B010-T20-A250 code.
went through the advanced system settings. clicked on system update. and it downloaded the update and said it would install when the car is off. turned the car off, had breakfast, returned to the car and the display does not turn on at all now. however it does work in reverse!
taking it to the dealer tomorrow.
anybody else had issues with the display in their vehicle?

Recently Bought this can you guys recommend some mods

The vehicle currently features a stock D15Z6 engine. I am seeking minor performance modifications to improve throttle response and general driveability, alongside an exhaust setup configured to deliver crisp pops on gear shifts. Additionally, the car requires a full respray. I am considering a red-to-black color combination—specifically evaluating options 3 and 4, though option 3 appears to be the more costly route. Considering the condition of the paint and the style of the current wheels, which of these color choices do you think would complement the setup best? the 3 and 4 are ai

Me and my Honda Civic still going steady years later

I bought my 2017 Honda Civic LX as my second car after my first car with only 24,000 miles on her, certified pre-own in 2019 in the first picture

7 years later I still feel the same excitement driving her as I did when I first bought her in the second picture on my birthday in July

We've been through alot and we're gonna keep going

Only 87,000 miles definitely grateful I went back to the dealership after they told me she was a steal and they couldn't go any lower on the price.

I try to keep her as clean as possible lol

Is this suppose to look like this? Recently I was hearing a cracking noise coming from left side & this is the only thing I find unusual.

Replacing steering wheel? Do I need a steering wheel remover?

Im looking to replace the steering wheel in my 2013 honda civic LX due to it starting yo fall apart its not to bad but ive only had this car for a year (almost 2) and the wheel didn't look like this when I got it. The top of the wheel is where most of it is worn and is the most flexible so im thinking of replacing it with the SI wheel since its leather but dont know if it will even mount up to the LX and I have no clue if I need a wheel remove or not (yes i understand the the SI wheel is ment for the SI but I dont care i Will just cover the SI badge thats on it if it does fit)

That is all :)

Honda Civic 2012 AC issue

So my Honda Civic 2012 AC has suddenly stopped blowing cold air after I went to a car wash (not sure if it's related)

One garage told me after doing soap test that the that outer pipes have no leak, need to dismantle the dashboard and everything for 500 AED labour only and need to inspect from the inside

One guy told me that a valve need to be replaced and gas replacement will fix the issue

One guy told me your pipe has leakage, he will weld a new piece of pipe and charge the gas

All of them diagnosed a different problem. Now I m confused. Please advise. Thank you so much.

One of the best & cheapest upgrades for your Civic (Or any car for that matter)

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!
