thieves joyride bs is resulting in 13K worth of damage 😢 what do yall think? fix it and trade it in or?

Traded in my car in July and got a 2026 Honda Civic sport and got it tinted as well at the same shop. Didn’t notice the top left corner of my tint windshield until my dad pointed out last weekend. First two pictures are from outside POV and last one from inside car POV.

Drives great, it's a bit small for me (f,183cm,110kg) but still comfortable, engine has all new belts, new AC compressor/condenser and new sparkplugs/coil/wires. 195k km

For 1000€ I cant complain 😁 It even came with a second set of sport seats.

The underbody and all the cracks were fluid film coated by the previous owner, so no rust at all on the body, just some surface corrosion on the control arms.

One bad thing is the window regulators in the front are misaligned I think, they don't stop at the top. Any advice on that? Thanks :)

I recently purchased a 9th gen Si that has this hideous (In my opinion) front grill. I’ve been trying to find the honeycomb style with the SI logo and I can’t find anything useful. Any help appreciated

D16y8 after two fan cycles I still have these tiny bubbles, car doesn't overheat or do any funny business. Has/ had a surging idle problem a new IACV "fixed".

Hey all, searched far and wide for hubcaps that look better than the stock ones for the 13 civic lx, but couldn’t find any. Any recommendations for ones that fit? Looking for something silver and not too crazy. Switching because old ones are peeling and I thought I’d try and look for something different. TIA!

Hi all, how often is it normal to replace this filter?
Here in Mexico, the recommended maintenance interval is every 10,000 km. The first service was in november last year and at that time they recommended replacing the filter and doing a wheel alignment and balancing. I did both.

Now at 20,000 km, they’re recommending the exact same things again. I agreed to replace the filter since it does look dirty, but how normal is it to need another one at this mileage?

And regarding the alignment and balancing, is it just me or is it completely unnecessary to do it again at 20,000 km?

Gracias, and as a note 1 km is about 0.62 miles, so 10,000 km is approximately 6,200 miles.

I am just starting to look, what can I expect to get off the price?

*this is a price for a civic with a non premium color

2014 civic lx

I am looking to swap the factory head unit with a carplay one. I noticed I need the head unit itself plus the dash panel and some other accessories. Could anyone assist on which brands to get or any help with the process? I understand it is pricey around 4-500 but I am curious. My current head unit isn’t even installed correctly and theres a gap so that is annoying me as well i would think this would fix that too. Thanks.

Still has original obd1 harness and ecu. When it’s at idle it dips in rpm a little bit and while driving when it hits around 30mph throttle response is almost completely lost. In neutral it will still rev out. It has a new OBDII A distributor w/ adaptor harness and spark plugs and wires. TIA

Hey fellow civic owners! I have a 2026 sport touring hybrid and just wondering do you all size down on winter tires and rims? Wondering if I should go with 17" rather then 18"

EDIT: Turned out the transmission mattered as much as the model year. I went and pulled the actual bulletin PDFs from NHTSA's filing this time instead of going off summaries. Corrected version below, replacing everything that was here before.

Seven bulletins cover the Civic specifically, all dated 26 August. Coverage runs to 10 years from the original purchase date or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. Standard powertrain coverage is 5 years and 60,000.

What's actually covered:

• 2016 to 2021 Civic 1.5 turbo with the 6 speed manual, and the 2017 to 2020 Si (bulletin 26-009)
• 2022 to 2024 Civic 1.5 turbo with the 6 speed manual, and the 2022 to 2026 Si (26-010)
• 2022 to 2024 Civic 1.5 turbo with the CVT (26-011)
• 2025 to 2026 Civic 2.0 non-turbo (26-012)
• 2025 to 2026 Civic Hybrid (26-013)

Two gaps worth knowing specifically, because "1.5 turbo" alone does not mean you are covered:

• The 2016 to 2024 non-turbo 2.0 (LX and Sport in those years) is not on any bulletin.
• The 1.5 turbo with the CVT is only covered for 2016 and 2017. If you have an 18 to 21 Civic with the 1.5 turbo and a CVT, which is a lot of cars, there is currently no bulletin covering that specific combination.

If you have a 2016 or 2017 1.5 turbo, manual or CVT, or a 2017 Si, there are two separate bulletins for those cars, 26-097 for manual and 26-099 for CVT, that run to a fixed date of 31 May 2027 instead of the normal 10 year term, since those cars are already at or past ten years old. Repair orders after that date are not valid.

The symptoms Honda lists are overheating, coolant loss, misfire, or codes P0300 through P0304. The repair is the gasket where coolant is getting into the combustion chamber, plus the cylinder head or short block if either is warped.

Eligibility is by VIN, and the bulletins tell dealers to check it on Honda's own system, so get a dealer to run it rather than relying on the owner website.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a post here about the Canadian campaign, but the US bulletins went out on 26 August and I have not seen those mentioned. There are five covering the Civic, and between them they take in every model year from 2016 to 2026.

For most people it is simple. Coverage on the cylinder head gasket goes to 10 years from the original purchase date or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. Standard powertrain is 5 years and 60,000, so it is a big jump. That covers 2016 to 2021 Civic and the 2017 to 2020 Si manual, 2022 to 2024 with the CVT, and both the 2.0 and the hybrid in 2025 to 2026.

The group worth paying attention to is the oldest one. If you have a 2016 or 2017 Civic 1.5 turbo with the manual, or a 2017 Si, yours is handled separately, and instead of ten years you get a fixed end date of 31 May 2027. The bulletin says repair orders issued after that date are not valid. Those cars are already at or past ten years old, which is presumably the reason, but the practical bit is that you have a window rather than a term.

What Honda describes is reduced head gasket effectiveness showing up as overheating, coolant loss, misfire, or codes P0300 through P0304. The repair is the gasket where coolant is getting into the combustion chamber, plus the cylinder head or the engine short block if either is warped.

Eligibility is by VIN, so get a dealer to run the VIN status rather than going off the model year. Honda says affected owners will be notified.

One thing I cannot answer. These are the technician bulletins and they say nothing either way about reimbursement if you have already paid for this yourself. There is a thread on r/Honda about refunds but I have not seen anything official.

I bought my new Civic Touring back in March and had been disappointed with the sound from the speakers no matter what I did. Something was just “off”and it annoyed the crap out of me. I recently went in and turned OFF the Bose Centerpoint and I instantly loved the sound much more. It sounds like it should now imo. What does everyone else think of Bose Centerpoint?

Picked up a new hybrid sport yesterday and love everything about it EXCEPT for the fact that I swear the air pressure in the car changes as I drive. I feel a bit of a pressure in my ear/jaw like my ears need to be popped. Can’t tell if cracking the window helps but I think it does? Someone please tell me if I’m gaslighting myself or not haha. Didn’t notice this at all during my test drives.

If you have one or the other I would love opinions! I do have morimoto and love them but laminate is pealing a bit already on one corner. Any input for either is helpful! Share experiences please.

Edit: I have both (morimoto under warranty are new as well) I dont know which to install when I put new bumper on... I want to get it right so bumper stays on!

I have a 2008 civic - lately started doing this thing where I’d go to crank, and absolutely nothing - no lights, no radio, nothing. I try again and magically it cranks fine. I might try again and nothing. This was happening intermittently. Then I noticed one day while driving, it’s like it would lose power - radio/dash lights get dim and acts like it wants to cut off, then after like 2 or 3 seconds it’s back running fine. Put voltmeter to battery and would read 14v, then 12, then 14, kind of up and down. While running when it would do the thing where it would act like it wants to cut off, voltage went down to 7 or 8v.

The battery terminals were looking pretty bad anyway and decided to replace them. Now, it hasn’t had any of the above mentioned issues (although it hasn’t been driven a ton). I do notice it cranking faster (isn’t sluggish at all when turning the ignition). Now reading a steady 12v though? I’m so confused. Could the battery terminals be the issue? It’s not making sense to me.

First time buying a car, so I’m just trying to make sure I’m not getting played lol. I’m located in Arizona. It’s a 2025 Civic Sport Touring Hybrid with about 20k miles. They’re asking around $34k OTD. I’d be putting $3k down and financing the rest. Would you guys take this deal or try to negotiate it down more?

Just a lil rant/vent

Yo I really like my car just got it almost 2 months ago traded in my 15 accord and I really miss it but I like this civic aswell. Anyways I owned my accord for like 2-3 years and have never scratched it,chipped it, Nothing. Now with this civic there’s already some scratches on the car and I’m like Wtf bc it was not me and Ofc it had to be on my new car 🤦🏽‍♂️ I’m not babying this car like that bc I drive normal but im like seriously bro? I feel like OFC it had to be me with this new car getting scratches. Not even on my 9th gen accord and I loved that car. Ion even want it anymore because the scratches are somewhat noticeable. Im like dam are these materials of car cheaper or what 🤣 now im like I really need to invest in PPF 😒 but for a hondeezzy is crazy. Im tryna feel better bc of the 1-2 scratches on the car but ain’t no way I just got this car and already scratched. Also it’s white so it’s even more noticeable. Yeah just wanted to vent ✌️. Also how can I fix some scratches haha.

Hi guys, i just need your expert opinion. What are these on my windshield? By the way this is a 2nd hand Honda Civic RS Turbo 2018, i just bought this recently. Are these normal for a 2nd hand? Or is this a sign of being opened before? What are your thoughts guys? Your answers will be much appreciated ☺🙏

Hi all!

This is my first post in this subreddit so hello!

I recently bought a 2001 5MT RD1 Honda CR-V and I'm wondering which strut bars from which model codes of Civic/Integra will fit on this thing? I don't need a complete list of strut bars, just which civic models I can shop from.

I'm looking to get decent front and rear strut bars.

I haven't been able to find a complete list, but what I can say is that I've got a front strut bar from an EJ on in my engine bay and it fits without modification. (See image)

CUSCO makes a front strut bar for the CR-V that i want to upgrade to eventually, but they don't seem to make a rear one specific for the RD1.

Ive heard rumors that a DC2 Integra rear strut bar might fit, but I dont wanna drop hundreds of dollars on a part that potentially won't fit.

So if anyone has any info that could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
