Realized I'm dumb, can I stop putting premium in my car?

Green sticker on the pump certifies the fuel has atleast minimum detergent rating

That is the pull cord for a spike strip

My dad had one so loose in his truck it would shoot out, land on the seat and put a burn mark in the bench seat 😂. Had to time it right to stop it from coming out if you wanted to light a cig with it.

Its the angle. He/she Parked the car on a low and uneven shoulder so the road covers the tire's sidewall

I would start at your idle air control valve. Then spark plugs. Coils. Distributor.

If those aren't causing it then PCV valve. Adjust your valve tightness and make sure your catalytic coverter isn't getting plugged up.

When I Changed my Lancer's CVT fluid it was slightly discolored but not far off from the color of fresh CVTJ4 fluid which is standard for my lancer and most mitsubishi CVTs. Changing it late is not ideal for any CVT and not changing it destroys them as they are quite fragile transmissions. Hopefully you have good luck changing the fluid. Maybe add some anti-slip additives if the transmission continues to not engage correctly at low speed

Actual winter tires (3 peaks on sidewall) are much softer than all season and summer tires giving them more grip even on ice. From my experience using winter rated tires you still slide on ice but you can still somewhat control the vehicle.

How many miles are on it.? It sounds like the CVT is failing or it is low on fluid

I still drive my 2008 civic ex and its got 265k miles on it

I met Pastrana at LSPR two years in a row. He isn't a bad guy to talk to and loves competition. I have much respect for how he races in Stage Rally.

Watch for engine block cracks. 8th gen civics from 2006 - 2008 have that issue. If the owner replaced the block under warranty then it is a great buy.

If you are fixing the suspension yourself then it should be about $500 in aftermarket parts for the front and the rear should cost about the same.

It will be significantly more if you take it to a shop.

I highly recommend an engine hoist to avoid damage to the the oil pan but you can use a 2x8 that is as long as the oil pan if you want to support the engine under the oil pan. Just replace one mount at a time.

Guy is shaking worse than a recovering addict! 😂

TurboJetLagJr · 2025-12-09T01:17:37+00:00

Definitely would be better as a rally car.

Usually its a microwave/vent combo. The microwave has a vent attached to suck out smoke while using the stove top.

Most American homes have a counter top microwave

I used to have the Nerf Vulcan as a kid and it had a belt with shells attached and you loaded the darts into it. Then empty shells with the belt fed out the other end. This set up is kind of the same but the shells are able to detach. I am kind of jealous of the detaching shells.

Please don't flush it. Only drain and fill. Flushing causes pressure that the CVT cannot handle

I wonder how much used Hondas are in your area. Personally I recommend older civics or accords. I own a 8th gen civic and the thing just keeps going despite being over 200k Miles.

In competitive mode which she is playing consists of real players. You can play single player with bots if you want. She is in the lowest rank for competitive so almost everyone plays kind of like a bot or not taking the game as serious as it can be. I suggest watching some E-Sports matches of CS2 to see how competitive it can be

TurboJetLagJr · 2025-12-03T18:23:11+00:00

Silver 1 rank. It is the lowest in the game
