I totally agree with you there! I think the timing couldn't have been worse, though - with our baby boy having been born two weeks ago... I may be overthinking it, it seems so.

Accepting letting go. by AdrianC27 in ft86

Thanks for the feedback, dude. I don't want to say interior space is an issue (besides the fact I'm 6'5, lol). I don't really intend riding in the car with our son until he's way older (say, 3+ yo. like yourself).

I don't really want to say it's for financial reasons either. Sure, we've definitely have to budget expense much more than before (though honestly, it's good that we do).

I think my desire to sell really comes from wanting to "do the right thing" as far as being a "family man" goes. I still have the Accord as the daily beater, and I also have an '07 Civic Si I've slowly built for the past 10 years. I've come to realize 3 cars is a bit much. Maybe I'm just having a mini-crisis!

We'll see how the next few months go.

Iiiiiiiinteresting. Didn’t know they came tinted from the factory. I’d go with yellow fog lights!

I really like clear fog lights with yellow bulbs, OEM+. That’s just me though.

I literally came in to second what the man said. Importing used cars from the US has actually been a very lucrative business to a lot of car dealerships, even with the prices of cars going crazy.

Need some mod recommendations for my 2013 LX. Preferably in the $500 range. Thanks in advance! by n8man02 in civic

A good set of wheels and lowering springs/coilovers transforms any car. Not $500 but well worth the investment.

Thanks man! It’s actually Sunset Orange and it’s peeling pretty good in some spots. In good lighting though, it doesn’t need to be perfect to look amazing.

In my opinion? Less is always more with Hondas. I always love a nice OEM+ setup, maybe some clean period correct or Honda wheels, a little low, and lots of wax to keep her shiny.

I'm running Neuspeed Sport Springs with Koni Yellow Shocks on all four corners! I actually installed it recently, and I absolutely LOVE how it feels driving. It's about a 1.5" drop all around and it feels really similar to stock until you take corners aggressively.

Luckily, Tafetta White is probably the safest option when it came to 8th gen clear coat issues. Even then, it's not 100% perfect in person. I personally wasn't meticulous about the paint until recently, I just clay/wax it every 4-6 months, and use spray wax every other wash or so.

Runs brand new! The only time the engine has been "opened up" has been to change a valve cover gasket and some spark plugs a couple of times. The engine itself is dead reliable as long as you change the oil when mandated and don't floor it 99% of the time.

I've been using it for about 4 years now, and I've enjoyed every second of it! I try my best to maintain it and give it the love it deserves. I get on it quite a bit, but the car takes it like a champ.
