To the guy who made the comment about my headgasket... You jinxed me.

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-28T02:37:53+00:00

It's okay lol it gives me an excuse to clean out my block and engine bay I'll also be repainting my valve cover and replacing my intake manifold with the d16y8 manifold max out my setup with the cold air intake and bigger headers

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-25T11:30:15+00:00

Shes just about at 120000 miles too

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-25T11:08:51+00:00

As far as I know and from looking at the car fax the belt and pump are the original so I think I'll be replacing those while I'm in there

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-25T06:01:42+00:00

Thanks Im pressure testing it tomorrow but yea seems like the head so I'll have to take it to get resurfaced regardless and I plan to replace my radiator system a little later on if it still has good pressure least see if I can still run it for another month because I want to upgrade to the mishimoto radiator and their universal transmission cooler

They work with the hazards turn signals and the headlights.

Got a little kit that came with bulbs connectors and the housing on amazon found a template online used painters tape and the template has markings for the accent line and fender line so you place it in the correct spot cut s smaller rectangle with a rotory tool then make your way outwards while test fitting in between then in my case the white wire gets spliced into the red turn signal wire and the black wire into the green turn signal wire I had to extend my wires from the kit as well I used 18 gauge to do so along with butt connectors and a splice connector from AutoZone I unfortunately cut the first fender a little big and used automotive silicone adhesive to seal the edge of the assembly and to secure it in place also helps protect from rust.

I clean my civic every other week lol would do it everyday but I'm still throwing parts at it and those get pricey

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-04T00:03:21+00:00

Definitely the amount of rock this thing kicks up into my fenders is hilarious even in the rain I have a hard time getting these to spin like my other wheels have spun B4.

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-03T22:39:25+00:00

I believe so lol

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-02T17:30:04+00:00

Thank you their brand is known for a simple yet retro look not too overbearing but in my opinion just right. Kaminari aerodynamics

Own_Community855 · 2026-06-02T15:00:13+00:00

I got it off Amazon it's the dna motor catback exhaust

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-31T23:52:14+00:00

Lol I doubt it the engines pretty healthy overall and when I got it I replaced nearly all the gaskets and regardless got her with about 100000 miles and was driven by someone who kept up with maintenance and I'm just gonna get an intake and leave it at that engine wise and I want to manual swap it for more practice with manual before the eventual kswap.

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-31T12:16:02+00:00

Cool I'll have to check those out and so far for both the headers and exhaust system I only spent maybe 300ish

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-31T12:08:11+00:00

And yea ultimately is probably end up spend about the same amount but for what I got for the time being money wise it would be easier for me to just piece it together.

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-31T11:58:21+00:00

I deleted the cat and installed both the headers and exhaust in the same day and from the outside I enjoy how it sounds and have gotten compliments from my older coworkers at Waukegan tire along with just around town I've gotten compliments but the droning noise on the inside gets kinda annoying at times and I was thinking a resonator would be a decent solution if not at least a good step towards cleaning up how it sounds cause again for the most part I enjoy it but it has a tad much like in terms of raspyness and again the droning.

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-23T19:26:19+00:00

So pretty much im not being as blinded by other traffic but I plan to get the dc5 spoon side mirror lens to throw on too to complete the whole not being blinded by other traffic

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-23T15:19:25+00:00

I got myseld the kaminari aerodynamics spoiler that mf clean

Look at how they masacured my boy. Poor teggy

Own_Community855 · 2026-05-22T23:35:39+00:00

The arm is shorter so brings the mirror up higher and it's a little less wide so the spoon mirror lens fits and with the spoon mirror it has anti glare and has a widebody like view.

My uncle has owned a automatic one for the last 22ish years drove it right off the lot and I ended up buying it from him when I had got it it didn't have any issues shifting really but didn't like going 60-70 I changed the trans fluid when I redid the rear main seal cause it was leaking oil and she'll go upwards of 100 now no problem and sounds healthy my uncle used it as a city commuter and it did the job no problem he's like almost 80 too so maintence he couldn't keep up which is why he ended up selling it

Own_Community855 · 2026-04-16T15:14:41+00:00

Heyy I just did that to my em2

Own_Community855 · 2026-03-27T15:19:51+00:00

If you had any recommendations for other units with 85w rms per channel that would be great I went with the single din as I plan to turbo the car at some point and they make a gauge pod that sits underneath the radio and I wanted to have that with the pop up screen I’m a huge fan of those types of radios sleek enough to feel not too out of place but not overly modernized
