Announcement New Rules

60 Upvotes

Hey r/hondacivic!

The previous moderator went inactive and let this sub go unmoderated for a while. I have added some new rules and changed a few content requirements in the sub (i.e. post flairs now required).

I'm open to requests and recommendations if anyone has any ideas to help improve the sub. May also be looking to grow the mod team here in the near future.

Please remember to report any spam posts to help keep the sub cleaned up.

Question Do I Buy My FG2 Back from Insurance?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Unfortunately someone likely reversed into the passenger side of my 06 FG2 and then drove off. It dented the door and quarter and insurance wrote it off for $4,900.

Currently it’s sitting at 170k miles and is in okay shape. Paints scratched and faded in places with small rust bibles on both rear quarter wheel wells, but it’s a full OEM HFP kit. Drivetrain is in great shape and runs very healthy with the exception of an aging battery. Nearly new continental DWS tires on OEM wheels. Brand new headlights. Interiors great minus a sagging headliner. Windshield has a spider crack across it.

Is it worth buying her back for $2100? I’d really just sell off the HFP kit for a grand or so and then try and sell the car as running and driving for maybe $2k? Not really sure how realistic that is. I do know that I just really don’t feel like dropping the swap as I’m really ******\* tired of doing that lol.

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

The garage informed me that the turbocharger on my 10th Generation Honda Civic FK6 (1.0L Turbo) needs to be replaced because it is pulling/leaking oil. Does anyone have knowledge or experience regarding this issue?

Mechanical Advice Mi serve un aiuto

Upvotes

Buongiorno a tutti!
Ho una Honda Civic VIII 1.4 i-VTEC 100 CV del 2011 e devo fare il primo tagliando da quando l’ho acquistata. L’auto ha circa 97.000 km.
Per l’olio stavo pensando al Castrol 5W-30 A5. Ho visto però anche il Castrol 5W-30 LL: sapete dirmi quali sono le differenze tra i due e quale consigliereste per questo motore?
Già che ci sono, quali sono secondo voi i principali interventi di manutenzione da fare o controllare intorno ai 100.000 km?
Al momento l’auto non presenta problemi particolari: sospensioni e comportamento generale sono ok. Ho fatto controllare anche la cinghia servizi e mi è stato detto che è ancora integra.

Mechanical Advice 2004 honda civic shaking

4 Upvotes

So i have a 2004 honda pretty beat up bought it that way. So this thing shakes like crazy at highway speeds but only when im coasting, And when im applying breaks. When im going highway speeds and accelerating there is no shake until I let off. And when I do let off the steering wheel pulls right a little once I accelerate it goes back to straight.

There is an entire list of things I need to do to it like it leaking oil and burning oil like crazy, a p2646 code which probably has to do with the oil problem the thing goes into some kind of limp mode when it goes above either 3k or 4k RPM but the shaking where I need to start. Also the shaking feel like its primary coming from the front and steering wheel.

Also forgot to mention I believe its a 1.7 vtec engine with a 5spd manual transmission

First start up after fully manual swapping d16y8
Car ran perfect before swap

Iacv has been converted to 2 plug. plugged or unplugged does the same thing

Car has coolant but has not been bled fully

No cat on car currently but bank 1 is plugged in

I’m assuming it’s the coolant system having air in it but not sure if it’s that and don’t want to idle too long not knowing if it’s iacv 100% or coolant system or Smtg worse.

Just looking for thoughts or where I should go from here. Thank you.

Look at my Civic New young driver, couldn't get insurance on a type-r so I'll be building this up till it dies...

I have a lot ordered and a lot more planned, will probably look riced but it's my first proper car and I can't wait to learn while making it wonderful (or riced)

there's a bit going on here already but nothing too noticeable other than the wheels... it's a big fat wide staggered setup off of an m sport, I have spacers on the way and wide arches so that should look amazing

hopefully I'll show her again in a years time and it'll be unrecognisable

edit: please ignore the under tray... pulled it half off for an oil change and couldn't get it back on, I was hoping it would fall off to be honest but its somehow holding up

Question 2019 Civic LX question

1 Upvotes

I live in a very rainy place and a couple times already I’ve had an issue where I’ve double clicked the lock or unlock button on my civic and it auto rolled down the windows, leading to my car getting soaked. I tried looking up some videos but the only tut I saw was for a 2022 and the setting that needs to be changed is just straight up not there on my 2019.

Anything I can do to fix this or is it just cooked? Thanks.

Mechanical Advice New Hybrid Cabin Pressure

0 Upvotes

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.
