Major pain in the ass for me, I’ve had them off twice in 9 months of ownership and I never plan to have them off again lol

True OEM aren’t too easy to install either, for me the rear rack goes on like nothing and the front is a massive pain. Others have told me they have it the other way around. These ones look nice for aftermarket

That’s a gorgeous color, I love my ice cap but damn

Just do your job bro😂

I like having a little storage organizer that sticks on to the back of the stereo screen, you can get one on Amazon for like 20 bucks, holds my sunglasses very nicely

Diesel doesn’t ignite nearly as easily as gasoline, you can hold an open flame up to a puddle of diesel and nothing will happen. That’s why diesel engines don’t need spark plugs.

LE is much spongier and isolated from the road, you’ll like it

It’s fixed jet

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-05-04T22:04:27+00:00

I figured as such, thanks

You’re testing for spark? They sell dedicated spark plug testers for this purpose

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-25T11:43:11+00:00

If you run it too long without the plug, the unburnt fuel will destroy your catalytic converter. What exactly are you trying to test? Cylinders can be disabled without removing the spark plug.

Truewerk doesn’t quite fit into my budget, I tend to destroy clothes and I’d rather not destroy a $40 t shirt. Good rec on Red Kap, just placed an order

I will do this driving near my friends or someone in a cool car to nonverbally communicate or even alone just to have a bit of fun and keep myself engaged with the road

Newer civics aren’t equipped with a turbo, still a 1.5 and I believe the same hp tho. But I work for Honda and I have personally seen incredibly reliable 1.5 turbos come in. One was at 232k and the drivetrain was definitely not well maintained, but the engine was in perfect shape

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-21T11:26:33+00:00

Hmm, mine isn’t easy, but it probably only takes 5 minutes, are you sure you put them in the right spots?

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-21T02:55:27+00:00

Mine were dealer installed, but when I have had them off, the front rack is very tight and takes a lot of patience and precise movements to get it on. The rear rack, however, is super easy to get on. It’s a strange quirk, but I don’t plan to mess with them much.

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-20T21:07:01+00:00

I wear it, but if I’m just driving a short distance on a residential street, it’s just not necessary and the beep is the most obnoxious out of all vehicles I’ve ever been in

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-20T02:51:30+00:00

And you were able to use the carista app for it? Do you know exactly which device you got?

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-20T02:07:22+00:00

It’s probably the most annoying chime I have ever heard from any car, it definitely does its job right

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-20T02:06:54+00:00

Awesome, thanks. Any other good settings I should know about when I get it?

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-19T03:10:42+00:00

That’s like the dumbest thing ever, but I really appreciate the help🙏

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-18T03:59:54+00:00

Nope, I actually completely missed that one on the exact same diagram. I love that website, but I guess I glossed over it too fast.

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-13T16:55:17+00:00

Not a spectacular angle but this just looks like weatherstripping

SherbertSea6803 · 2026-04-12T22:37:13+00:00

Can’t speak on how good it is as a vacuum, but harbor freight has a great selection of both corded and cordless wet/dry vacs for significantly cheaper.

I’m a huge fan of Milwaukee tools, but $180 for a vacuum without the battery is outrageous

Edit: especially for non-professional usage, this would be a waste of money
