I just signed up to be a part-time instructor for a Stick Shift Driving school platform, and it seems like a pretty cool gig… the only thing I’m not crazy about is I have to provide my own car for the lessons. I guess I’ll see how the first few lessons go and then see if I want to continue doing...

My dealership managed to reset my MM during a state inspection. Whatever. I just have a few questions now… 1. Can anyone tell from my attached pictures if only my “oil life” was reset or “all due items”? I suspect it’s the latter, but I hope it isn’t 😢 2. Can anyone confirm that their screen...

Yes folks, yet another SOP coming your way! I write these so I don't forget silly maintenance stuff when I have to do it again, since a lot of these jobs are done months or years apart. Hopefully someone else finds these helpful, and as always, let me know if any edits should be made. Thanks to...

Accidentally cracked mine due to supidity and want to see if I can find the part by itself to replace. I have the 1.5L Sport Hatch.

Hey all, I already had this information for myself lying around, so I went ahead and consolidated it into a modular SOP covering just the lifting and lowering of the vehicle to/from jack stands. I opted for the "textbook" method, as I am not personally confident with the "art" side of raising a...

Anyone attending the autocross event at Zmax Nov. 11-12? https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/ccr-autocross-11-racing-for-heroes-tour-zmax-dragway-scca-central-carolinas-986645

I finally got around to consolidating my notes from my last MTF change job and wrote up a SOP. Feel free to download the attached files and edit as you see fit. I know it's easier to have something to print out and write on. This was written for a 2021 Civic Sport Hatch, so fluid capacity will...

Can anyone confirm that what I’m seeing here is just a buildup of grease from the CV Axle Bearing? This is right above the oil drain area. Didn’t see any evidence of any vital fluids leaking anywhere, other than some very slight marks on the back of the skid plate.

Was under my car recently and noticed that it looks like a shield may have originally been where I have circled in blue. Anyone know if I am a missing a shield here and if so how easy it would be to replace? This in on a ‘21 Sport Hatchback, btw.

Hey all, I’m coming up on my first brake fluid flush soon and I’m wondering if there are any low-hanging fruit upgrades I should consider since I’ll be flushing the fluid? I have a Sport Hatch. It’s a manual transmission so was thinking of upgrading the clutch and brake lines to all SS - to...

This past week I’ve been hearing my brakes sounding like they’re squeaking when I’m pretty much completely stopped. Like I’ll be parked in my garage and push the brake pedal down and hear a squeak that seems to relate with the force that I apply to pedal. It sounds like it’s coming from just...

I always seem to notice a single fruit fly chilling in my car, no matter the time of year. It’s like they’re just stockpiling somewhere and release themselves one at a time to annoy me. They also seem to know how to not get sucked outside when the windows are open. Anyone else have this problem...

Interested in downsizing my OEM Sport 18”ers to the EX OEM 17”ers. I like how they look and looks a bit easier to clean too. Trying to hunt down some info: 1. Anyone know what width they are? I’ve seen 7” or 7.5”, not sure which is true. 2. Additionally, does anyone know what colors they come...

I realize that the easiest way to do this would be to start with a level floor and ensure floor jacks are set to the same height setting… HOWEVER, what if you’re using a combination of ramps and floor jacks, for instance? What part of the vehicle do you use to check if it is “level”? I know...

Selling my used 27Won Street RMM. Asking $100 (including shipping). The NVH is a tad too much for what I use the car for. There are the standard “pain-in-the-ass” install scuffs, and bushing compression/imprints from transmission bracket. Bolts were torqued as specified by 27Won when using this...

Anyone have the Lloyd’s all weather, rubber floor mats? I’ve seen a few with the carpet Ultimats, but I’m looking for an all-weather replacement to my OEMs (my heel busted through after a year) that doesn’t cover up the dead pedal. I have a cool aluminum cover on my dead pedal that I want to...

I was pulling out from getting coffee today and noticed my dash was super dim, none of my electronics were working, and only the red, car security light thingy was flashing on my dashboard. I was able to drive fine, but obviously pulled over to see what was up. Was able to resolve by shutting...

Hey all, wanted to give back to the community by listing my work/mods on my Civic so that anyone else looking to do something similar can have a chance to ask me questions. May eventually write more detailed posts on each mod if I have a few hours to spare on weekends… Aiming for “OEM-Plus”...

Sometimes, I have a very slight metallic, springy, clunk/clack sound from the engine/transmission area when upshifting from first to second gear at the moment I clutch out to the bite point. This has been happening for a while now, usually once within the first few shifts of the day. It happens...

Hey all, I drive a completely stock, manual transmission Civic Hatchback Sport, and have been thinking about upgrading the OEM rear motor mount to aftermarket, but I still have a few questions after already scouring the forum for past threads. 1. I am looking for something to increase the feel...
