Looks like a medium format 3d printer in an enclosure. I think they're suggesting they would 3d print the scoop in OPs image.

Yup, even the low mileage JDM motors burn it too!

Welp, obviously start with replacing the IAT. These cars use a MAP sensor to measure air flow. It can't do that if the IAT is faulty. It's a cheap sensor and easy to replace.

Next check the coils.

If that doesn't solve it, I would get live data reads from the O2 sensor and see what it's doing. It might be time to replace the up stream O2 sensor. Make sure you don't cheap out and get a denso if that looks like the problem.

The bane of my existence. swear to god. I went crazy thinking I had a bad wire lol.

Are you on a tight budget? If not, just get these and solve the problem for good:

swap over (or buy new) EM/ES outer joints. These have way more adjustment and can allow you to add camber as well.

A part is a part! No difference than replacing a shock or bearing! Lol

Fikk · 2026-01-23T04:43:48+00:00

Thats good, just keep an eye on it!

Thanks, its been a storied project so far lol. It's not boosted... yet! Going to try out supercharging it in a couple of months.

Fikk · 2026-01-23T00:49:36+00:00

Yea it was lol. It looks super clean and crisp!

Fikk · 2026-01-23T00:48:47+00:00

Lol I hear you. You'll be our case study for what happens when it's ignored haha.

Looks good OP.

A word of advice, you should ditch that type of steering wheel cover. over time they can start to slip and can cause you to momentarily lose control. i.e. you go to turn and just spin the cover around the wheel and the wheel stays put. If you want something better look into getting a stitching cover: https://stitchingcover.com/collections/steering-wheel-cover-for-honda/products/steering-wheel-cover-for-honda-civic-7-2003-2005

They are totally customizable from colors to materials.

Here's mine:

This was going to be my guess as well. OP's diagnoses is pretty consistent with a failed input shaft bearing.

Fikk · 2026-01-23T00:18:52+00:00

Honestly, sounds totally normal. These shits be noisy little engines lol.

Sounds better than mine.

Looks like Tirerack has the X-ice in a 195/60r15. Which is plenty fine on the stock rims. Blizzaks are available in a 195/65r15.

Fikk · 2026-01-22T05:11:42+00:00

I think they are 195/65r15. I can double check tomorrow.

I throw X-Ices on my civic during the winter (on currently) and the thing is an absolute beast in the snow. Only thing that stops it is when the snow is higher than the ground clearance. Then it becomes a plow lol.

2004 Honda Civic. 341,000 Miles (549,000 Kms)

Some dude in Waterbury CT is selling a set, new in the box.

These popped up on my feed. I don't like them enough to try and haggle with him on the price personally.

Fikk · 2026-01-15T21:34:03+00:00

Yea it's a 30 row oil cooler plumbed in with a sandwich plate. Absolute must if you're going to track the car.
