proud tulip
#

Its changed quite a bit over the years

#

We actually have several BIG Ford plants spread around the state

#

Got a brand new one down by me

proud tulip
open sigil
#

still theres so much wasted land 🤣

#

at least they use it to film movies

#

best place to destroy stuff cuz nothing there is of any worth

proud tulip
#

Sorry that we dont over build like other states 😂

open sigil
#

yeah better to just leave all the abandoned plants there

#

but tbh its detroit

#

entire city sux anyways

tough torrent
#

I seen worst then Detroit

proud tulip
#

Like LA

open sigil

proud tulip
#

open sigil
#

#

a lot of people drive around with the bluetooth seatbelt mod

#

those people are nuts

proud tulip
#

Put it on anyways

proud tulip
open sigil
#

😂😂

#

do y’all use the parking brake?

proud tulip
#

Most states during the summer run click it or ticket campaigns 😂

#

I dont? But i probably should 😂

open sigil
#

i’m surprised how many people jus throw their cars in park and leave it

proud tulip
#

Most dont generally care or know? Lol

open sigil
#

i wasn’t taught otherwise so i always use it

proud tulip
#

I know it can fail. I just keep forgetting 😂

open sigil
#

man

#

you’re gonna park on a hill and come back and see your car at the bottom of it 😂

proud tulip
#

Easy solution. Dont park on a hill

open sigil
#

now i get mad whenever the dealer doesn’t put my parking brake on

proud tulip
#

Actually now that i think about it. Ive never actually had to park on any kind of incline 🤔

open sigil
#

i have had once or twice

#

most parking at the beach is on some sort of slant

proud tulip
#

I mean you are also in Cali so Cat_LOL makes sense

#

Lots of hills and such out that way

open sigil
#

and if someone hits your car and it just bumps out of park

#

plus better to put the weight on the parking brake or something idk how it works

#

i was just taught to always use it

proud tulip
#

Thats fair lmao 😂

#

Ik in a Manual transmission car you HAVE to use it

open sigil
#

apparently the mechanism that holds the car in park is a super small piece of metal

#

so that’s why you don’t rely on park gear

proud tulip
#

O.o thats... not great lmao

open sigil
#

parking prawl is the term

proud tulip
#

Ahhhh interesting

open sigil
#

my dad never uses the parking brake

#

so his car rolls forward a bit when he puts it into park and lets off the brake

#

one day his little prius will roll away

proud tulip
#

Lmao into an ocean never to be seen again hopefully bcz Pruis just shouldnt exist 😂

open sigil
#

nah his prius is super nice

#

it was supposed to be handed down to me

proud tulip
#

Plz no 😂. Get a Civic or something

open sigil
#

but thing has been in 2 accidents, on its second engine, has like 250k miles, and the suspension makes a sus sound

#

so i said no

proud tulip
#

2 accidents? 😅😅. Scrap

#

Immediate scrap.

open sigil
#

oh and the accidents it was in, my dad "fixed" it the first time himself, second time was some random cheaper shop so he could bag some money from the insurance check

#

but its a fully loaded prius from 2011, the most prius money could buy at the time

proud tulip
#

Oh godddd

open sigil
#

full leather, jbl sound system, all the tech

#

the thing could parallel park itself

#

fully automated

#

with lane keep and smart cruise

#

toyota was way ahead of their time

proud tulip
#

Wasnt aware 2011s could do that 😂

open sigil
#

me either

proud tulip
#

Shit. No other cars can do that today can they? 😂

open sigil
#

the fact that it can parallel park ITSELF still astonishes me

#

for a 2011

#

you dont have to touch the gas brake or wheel

proud tulip
#

That is like. Yearssss beyond what the tech was at that point

#

Wut the hell

#

Im so confused by that 😂

open sigil
#

ye idk toyota was on some crack in 2011

#

if the car hadnt been on its 2nd engine after 2 accidents i wouldve gladly taken it 😂

proud tulip
#

Idk about that one 😂. 2 accidents? Thats kinda sketch ngl lmfao

#

I wonder if any other cars had that tech back then 🤔

#

The more i hear about stuff from before 2012. The more im convinced we are in a simulation rn

or is that a different one

proud tulip

Motec exhaust for Honda? Motec makes tuning software/ECU

#

Hey. I dont question the Fast And Furious movie 😂

tough torrent
#

That’s where you got it from?

proud tulip
#

Yes 😂

#

Do you not remember that entire scene? 😂

open sigil
#

most fast and furious movies are unintelligable fever dreams

proud tulip
#

You aint wrong 😂

#

Fast 12. Fast and Furious goes to SPACE

tough torrent
#

No because I hated the very first movie they made. It was a disgrace to the car culture bunch of show cars think there fast with all that weight

proud tulip
#

True 😂

tough torrent
#

Then you have this dinky Civics going under tractor trailers WTF?

#

Who rob trailers with neon underglow lights?

proud tulip
#

The cars were lowered and the trailer they used was actually lifted 😂

#

Fun fact of the day

#

Normal trailers theres absouletly no way

#

The bodykits on those Civics were pretty cool tho :P

tough torrent
#

My cousin loved the movie and I was the only one hated it. Maybe because I was racing back then from my fox body Cobra Mustang to my 454 twin scroll Nova

proud tulip
#

Probably lmao xD

#

Wait a minute. Arent those heavier than what they even used in the movie? 😂

tough torrent
#

My Nova was running high 9 to low 10s all day my Cobra was running 12 back then

proud tulip
#

Ahhh interesting

tough torrent
#

Over the years the performance got allot better and the vehicles are getting faster and faster

proud tulip
#

bcz LS swaps 😂

#

I swear. They will throw an LS in anything these days 😂

#

Look at Honda throwing fully built K motors there running 8

proud tulip
#

@open sigil LS swap your Nissan 😂

proud tulip
open sigil

nah

#

i’d get a bmw b58

proud tulip
#

And LS it? 😂

BMW in general is a pain in the rear

No wonder they die so often 😂

open sigil
#

i’d love a 2006-2010 335i

proud tulip
#

I wanna get another Honda :3

#

Either another Civic but newer or an older Accord :p

open sigil
#

bmw and mercedes have reliable cars

#

just most of them are not

#

it’s usually their older cars that are better

tough torrent
#

Lol

open sigil
#

i always ever great things about w204 reliability

tough torrent
#

C class haha

open sigil
#

what’s the joke

proud tulip
#

Lol

tough torrent
#

C class is a low end almost entry level before they came with the A and B class

open sigil
#

they’re still great cars

#

and it’s one of their most sold models

#

if not the most

tough torrent
#

Because of the price.

open sigil
#

maybe because for mercedes a price jump from C to E doesn’t actually get you that much more 😂😂

proud tulip
tough torrent
#

Technically it’s the GLC is the most sold

open sigil
#

still a c class

W204 was discontinued back in 2015

Does anyone here happen to be a Espace J11 expert?

#

The turbo on my J11 diesel is making a bit of a weird feepy high noise that normally isn't there, It only occured today after I drove it a much longer distance than normally, and its gone after letting the car sit for an hour.
Normally I only take it for like 40km, but today I drove 100km (about 60 miles)

They can last forever

#

Interior is basically brand new

#

She most likely has been taken really well care of

neat isle
#

I’d ask _when _ the transmission was last replaced

#

Because if that’s fairly new it’s fine

proud tulip
#

Oh mannnn i keep looking at it more and more. And its growing on me already :3

#

Now imagine a body kit 👀

open sigil
#

gotta get it checked out by a mechanic first

if the seller does not agree to that

#

big no no

#

My father in law has worked on cars for a majority of his life. He went with my fiancee and checked it out

but it does look well taken care of

except them headlights need a polish bad 🤣

proud tulip
#

Well yeah 😂. Those are 100% the OG headlights.

proud tulip
open sigil
#

have YOU seen it for yourself though?

proud tulip
#

No bcz ive been working all day 😂

#

But i trust what my fiancee and father in law think

open sigil
#

you should still see it for yourself first

#

its gonna be your car after all right?

proud tulip
#

Of course lmao

open sigil

still go see it

not doubting anyone but gotta make sure with your own eyes

#

interesting that they use hydrogen as a substitute for gasoline rather than hydrogen to generate electricity

proud tulip
#

That is kinda interesting but honestly Hydrogen engines could be a go to tbh 🤔

neat isle
#

Probably just what the market wants right now

proud tulip
#

Especially with more manufacturers testing it out

neat isle

I see a lot of resistance against full electric

open sigil

more cars pissing on the road 😂

proud tulip

Only issue is Hydrogen production itself 😂

neat isle

open sigil
#

yeah hydrogen stations are far from accessible

#

there is only one in my city lol

#

I kinda want diesel-electric like how trains do it

#

Electric, with a generator

open sigil
#

i like mild hybrid systems

neat isle

Or xyz-electric, doesn’t have to be diesel of course

we just need sustainable fuels

Hydrogen isn't just the matter of gatekeeping from government

#

It's still the most inefficient fuel or in this matter element to manufacture

#

It's currently (estimated) a 3:4 ratio of energy usable/fuel produced to energy used to make/fuel produced

#

Or 75% at best(it really isn't from what I've read tho apparently)

#

Thing is so many data point s are all over the place . _.

Take it as u will I used chatgpt cause I'm lazy

Efficiency of internal combustion engine (ICE) using gasoline: Around 20-30%.
Diesel:

#

Efficiency of crude oil to diesel conversion: Around 85-90%.
Efficiency of internal combustion engine (ICE) using diesel: Around 30-40%.
Hydrogen:

#

Steam Methane Reforming (SMR): Overall efficiency of hydrogen production from natural gas is typically around 70-80%.
Electrolysis (Renewable Electricity): Efficiency of hydrogen production through electrolysis using renewable electricity can reach approximately 70-80%. This includes the efficiency of electricity generation and electrolysis process

#

electrolysis (Fossil Fuel Electricity): Efficiency of hydrogen production through electrolysis using fossil fuel-based electricity is lower, usually around 50-60%.
Biomass Gasification: Efficiency of hydrogen production from biomass gasification can vary but is typically around 60-70%.

@open sigil sooooo. We bought that 04 Civic and i got my first offical look at her this morning. Shes super clean inside. Outside has the typical old honda paint bubbling/rust issue in a couple of spots but other than that its pretty clean.

#

Definietly was worth the purchase

#

Andddd if my research is right. Since shes an EX. She has VTEC Cat_LOL

#

Seeing as the EX was top trim just under the SI i believe iirc

I don't get tinted windows

I like to be able to see clearly at night honestly

#

privacy, heat blocking, cleaner look, etc

keen sail
#

I don't think that would outweigh the safety issue for me, I'm not big on privacy in my car tho

#

and we don't get that much heat here in germany (yet)

open sigil
#

it’s not much of a safety issue

#

imo

keen sail
#

Idk that looks pretty dark to me

open sigil
#

if your concern is at night, sure if nobody at all uses their headlights and streets have no light at all

#

then that would be a problem

#

it really depends on the area too. if i lived in a colder area i wouldn’t have tint

keen sail
#

yeah it depends

open sigil
#

this summer i will be getting my front windshield tinted

#

not darker though, 70 percent film just for the heat blocking properties

#

indistinguishable from non tinted glass

keen sail
#

I bet I can distinguish it

#

I break the windshield with a brick, if theres a film that seperates theres a film on there

proud tulip

Oh @open sigil should i tint the windows on my new car? 😛

open sigil

hell yeah

#

but get it done by a shop

Well yeahhh lmao

#

I also plan on fixing the rust before it gets too bad as long as it stays running good

so many people think they can do it themselves because it seems so simple

but in reality its not

Not 100% sure. Havent yet looked at the engine myself

#

Another negative to hydrogen powered which is the same issue as was always present with fossil fuels, distribution/transport of it takes ongoing costs and manpower where electric distribution is spread out over multiple functionalities for society. Instead of investing a little bit but paying through the nose for years to come to sustain the hydrogen gas stations and distribution it would be much more efficient to invest that in power grid expansion and strengthening.

#

Electricity consumption has been growing immensely lately due to the whole EV thing but even before then it was allready massivly outgrowing the existing infrastructure in a not insignificant amount of country's / nations. So investment into the infrastructure was allready needed. And the country's / nations that were not outgrown by demand before EV's all are making moves to expand its infrastructure and capacity of the grid, one way or another.... and from what it looks like to me, the US only gives a discount on domestic market EV's to promote that part but is not investing in infrastructure to support sustainability with the increasing sales of EV's

pedestrians are worse than bad drivers

proud tulip
#

oh 100%

open sigil
#

this why i hate driving at night man

#

especially with my tints

#

actually nah

#

the freeway is so chill at night, surface streets are pain

proud tulip
#

highways and surface streets here are generally dead by the time i get off work at 1AM so i dont usually have to worry about iot

#

its more daytime stuff i gotta worry about

#

the Sony radio in the new Civic doesnt have bluetooth, which is sad. but it has an AUX port. so ill just get a USB C to 3.5mm AUX cable and listen to my music that way Cat_LOL

#

I can offically start driving her tomorrow

#

as long as i remember to move the plate over 😂

open sigil
#

freeway at night is so relaxing

proud tulip
#

oh it absoluetly is

open sigil
#

set cruise control to 80 and relax

proud tulip
#

i love freeway driving at night

#

only thing i usually have to deal with is the trucks

#

but they usually chill in the other lane :P

open sigil
#

trucks here are usually smart enough to stay on the right

#

but a lot of freeway renovation happens at night so sometimes there’s some big ass cement truck in the left while people coming down at 90+

proud tulip
#

🤣 gotta love the cement trucks getting in the way

My scariesr moment... 80 kmh country lane with bike and walkways seperated by green and occasional tree I was driving waaaaay over the speed limit close to 200 kmh (I know stupid, young) in my E30 325i

Then I see some dinkytoy (opel agila) stopping at a road to the left side to turn from their 50kmh section 90 degree onto my lane in my direction of travel and as I approach they pull out and make the move.... I had a feeling and started slowing down significantly allready but as I saw them pull out I stomped on the brakes..... locked all 4 of them up, eased up a bit in hopes to regain traction, I did then eased I to it again while trying to avoid them but it was too late. Smashed into them with significant enough force to have had the drivers side wheel encroach into the firewall where you would rest foot when off the clutch. And the windshield had fell off the car and was a few feet away from the car..... it was mangled beyond belief.

There was an elderly couple in the dinkytoy.... they were both taken to the hospital for examination...... a few days later the woman had passed away, she had a heartattack or anurism or something like that 3 days after the accident.... they saw something and had kept her for observation in the hospital eight after but i was cleared as it was deemed not related to the accident. As for the speed.... the calculated speed at the start of the last skidmarks was deemed about 100 to 110 kmh which was deemed nog significant enough to be declared primary cause of said accident. I was cleared of all charges.... to this day I will and have not driven like a maniac or irresponsibly anymore

damn man that sucks

#

but not entirely your fault

neat isle

It’s sad

proud tulip
#

@open sigil sorry for the ping again

Thanks dude i appreicate that Nice

open sigil

This AC does feel nice tho actually

open sigil

proud tulip

Havent figured out if it has the VTEC or not 😅

river bone
#

floor it....

#

does the tone change significantly.... then its got vtec

#

YO

#

proud tulip
#

Ill do that once we can be sure its solid

river bone
#

its a honda... its meant to be floored

proud tulip
#

Sure and send the engine into orbit 😂

river bone
#

just do it in like 3rd or 4th gear or somethin

#

nah

proud tulip
#

Fair lol

river bone
#

there's nothing inherently wrong with utilising the engines max designed factory power

#

just indeed if something is wrong or damaged allready then it can be

neat isle
#

Standard civic things

proud tulip
#

Ehhh basically Beano 😂

#

Not me tho xD

river bone
#

i mean is it throwing codes?

#

does it sound and go allright?

neat isle
#

Also may look underneath for physical problems but you’ve likely already done so

river bone
#

maybe the plastic shit covering the floor is the final bit holding on to the sump and crank and gearbox

proud tulip
open sigil
#

show us some picssssssssssssss

proud tulip
#

Maybe after i give her a bath on sunday 😂

#

Shes dirty rn

open sigil
#

nahhh

#

thats how the car is gonna be 90 percent of the time smh

proud tulip
#

You aint wrong 😂

open sigil
#

speaking of that i need to clean my interior

#

floor mats are nasty and my pedals have all the gunk from my shoes

proud tulip
#

The interior in this one is staying clean as much as possible. Its far to nice on the inside to have it be dirty

open sigil
#

i need to take a proper glass cleaner to my windshield

#

oh man last night i was at a restaraunt and i came back to half my car wet because i parked next to some sprinklers 😂

#

and then i rolled down my windows like an idiot so now theres water streaks all over one side

proud tulip
#

Oh noooo 😂

#

I have a bad habit of rolling the windows down when they are wet

open sigil
#

yee

#

and i have some gum on my hood somehow

proud tulip
#

Wut the heck? Lmao. Maybe from the highway?

open sigil
#

i dunno

#

gotta figure out how to get rid of it without damaging my paint

proud tulip
#

Omggg speaking of which 😂. I saw this stupid ass in a Lincoln MKZ get pulled over today

open sigil
#

i have a can of wd40 around somewhere which should do the trick

open sigil
#

there has been so much police presence at my school lately

#

i take a very specific set of turns to my school, for 5 min on 2 seperate days i see cops behind me taking the same exact turns

#

and the other day i was driving there is an unmarked taurus to my right and highway patrol on my right 💀

#

wd40 is goated man

proud tulip
#

Dayumnnnn lmao

neat isle
#

Yknow your car has a tank full of industrial strength cleaning solvent?

proud tulip
neat isle
#

Just a little flammable.

proud tulip
neat isle
#

Gotta be fake lol

proud tulip
#

It isnt 😂

#

Go look it up. Its a thing 😂

neat isle
#

Then it’s probably also dissolving what’s left of the actual metal

#

No thanks :)

proud tulip
#

Dont wanna ruin Coke for yourself? 😂

neat isle
#

Also sometimes the rust is all that holds it together

neat isle
proud tulip
#

Indeed lol

neat isle
#

:p

proud tulip
#

Fair :3

#

Actually. You brought up a good point earlier. I do need to climb underneath and look for any major rust 😅

neat isle
#

You haven’t???

#

Uh oh

#

You’re in Michigan

open sigil
#

i have this stuff here idk if i wanna use it

#

but i know meguiars is a good brand

proud tulip
#

My fiancee and her dad mightve tho

open sigil

ngl i’ve never looked in here

where’s the supercharger and quad turbos

#

salesman lied to me smh

proud tulip
#

😂 Beano didnt believe me lmfao

tough torrent
#

He, to new skool it’s an old skool mechanic tip 🤣

proud tulip
#

makes sense lmfao

tough torrent
#

In the Coke Cola it’s the phosphoric acid in the drink will cause the corrosion process and the rust will loosen and dissolve.

proud tulip
#

does it destroy the metal underneath as well?

tough torrent
#

It can corrode metal some

proud tulip
#

i probably wont use it on the rust on this car then

#

ill just sand the rust down instead :P

#

the rust on the hood will be a little more tricky tho with the a couple of the smaller spots 🤔

tough torrent
#

The best way is sandblasting

proud tulip
#

aint that for the entire car tho? 😂

tough torrent
#

Mask it off the area you don’t want to sandblast. But remember you still need to prime and paint/clear after sandblasting.

#

Or cut the rusted area out and weld in new metal plates/brackets

proud tulip
#

sandblasting could work

#

could just take her to Maaco :p

tough torrent
#

Maaco for rust repair? ZeroTwo_Think

proud tulip
#

ehhh repaint too

tough torrent
#

I don’t think Maaco repair rust

proud tulip
#

they absoluetly do 😂

tough torrent
#

I would not trust them I take it to a legit body/restoration shop. Then again it’s a Civic.

#

You know repairing rust is not cheap

proud tulip
#

depends on severity

#

the rust on this one isnt bad

#

its very minimal :p

tough torrent
#

Is it surface rust or severe?

shrewd topaz
#

All right car guys and gals. What the hell is going on here? 😂

proud tulip
#

Hmmmmn

shrewd topaz
#

I'm really confused by how far up the spoiler is

proud tulip
#

Oh? Not the price? 😂

shrewd topaz
#

Well there's a lot of things to be confused about

proud tulip
#

That spoiler is whack actually. Wtf lmao

shrewd topaz
#

Bro said "mid-force"

proud tulip
#

That reminds me. Should i put one on my 04 Civic 🤔

shrewd topaz
#

Yes, make sure it's bigger than your entire car and more expensive than your car

#

🧢

proud tulip
#

Absoluetly fuckin not 😂

#

If anything itd be one they have on em from the factory

#

Those nice lowwww level spoilers Nice

odd path
#

finacing wtf

open sigil
#

good thing i’m skinny

#

except trying to get in my car with a backpack is pain

#

and i have to fold my mirrors because there is a 50/50 chance my mom will hit them with hers

open sigil
#

or if you wanna get real fancy, there are some smaller spoilers with integrated brake light

neat isle
#

Put bag through window

open sigil
#

🤔

#

i could leave the rear windows open and toss my bag in there but my garage collects dust fast

neat isle
#

California problems

open sigil
#

lol wut

neat isle
#

Dust so quick

open sigil
#

that is not location specific

neat isle
#

Y’all got no water

#

Your dusty dust goes flyin

#

Idk I’m not an expert the furthest west I’ve been is Wichita

open sigil
#

i dont think the way dust settles is any different here 😂

#

our garage is just old

#

i bought a smart opener thinking i could code it to the motor but that thing is from like 1980

tough torrent
#

Trying to code a analog system with dip switches?

open sigil
#

i can program remotes by copying the dip switch pattern but the problem it doesnt have wifi

#

which is weird because it also has the laser safety sensors but it does not have device connectivity

#

i dont think it has a learn button

tough torrent
#

That’s how analog garage work by the dip switches. There is no wifi. As for the motion safety sensor it’s getting its power from the motor PCB

open sigil
#

yeah

#

most built after 93 have the learn function so i guess ours is from before then

tough torrent
#

The only thing you maybe able to do is adjust the speed rate on some

open sigil
#

it wouldve been so nice to be able to use the phone app because car manufacturers arent putting the homelink systems on the mirrors anymore

#

i have to have the remote clipped to my visor

proud tulip
#

I believe the 2000 SI had the spoiler with intergrated brake light iirc

open sigil
#

yee

#

have some of my favorite pics

#

im starvin man havent been to a meet in weeks

tough torrent
proud tulip
#

Wonder when they stopped using that low level spoiler and switched to the other one 🤔

#

Ik the 04 Coupes had one from the factory. I just dont know what trim level it was

#

Oh interestingggg... Google has pictures of the 04 Coupe with them. But its classified as an SI trim. But... the 04 SI never came in a Coupe config. It was only the hatch as far as i could tell based on the research ive done so far 🤔

#

Ahhh wait. There was an SI Coupe according to wikipedia

#

Weirdddd

#

Looks like the EX came with the D17A2 motor tho

proud tulip
#

@tough torrent @open sigil sorry for the pings. But... 👀 whatcha think?

tough torrent
#

It’s fine but make sure you tap the wires into the brake light wires with the other brake light perfect the one behind the rear glass

proud tulip
#

Id probably take it to a shop and have em do it 😂

#

Especially so the holes dont rust and such. Thats the lasttttt thing id need to deal with

tough torrent
#

Free if you do it yourself oh wait they need to drill holes in the trunk but make sure they seal it for water leaks

proud tulip
#

Yeeee lol

tough torrent
#

Make sure it’s water tight. They need to drill 5 holes (4 holes to mount spoiler and 1 hole for the brake wires).

proud tulip
#

How does the trunk open with it tho? 🤔. Never did understand that part

tough torrent
#

The spoilers are not heavy it does not effect opening or closing the trunk but they will zip ties the wires to the trunk hing but make sure the wires are inside the wire loom cover and there is enough slack of wire to open and close the trunk

proud tulip
#

Ahhhh gotcha

tough torrent
#

You may able to get the spoiler painted to match before the installation

proud tulip
#

That is an option actually lol

#

I gotta remember to look at the engine model today while we are under the hood fixing the hood prop

tough torrent
#

Also some low deck lip spoiler use double side tape with no bolts. Take a photo of the engine and post it. I see if I can determine the engine from the design and valve cover

proud tulip
#

Haha i definitely will be sure to lol

#

Im just curious to see if this one has the VTEC like my research has said it does 👀

tough torrent
#

You can always send me the vin number 🤣

proud tulip
#

I could 😂

#

Id have to go out to the car real quick 😂

tough torrent
#

Should be on the title, insurance card and registration also

proud tulip
#

Thats all in the car 😂

#

Well besides the title. I dont actually have it. My father in law does

tough torrent
#

Do not keep the title in the vehicle should be in a safe secure spot in the house

proud tulip
#

Nahhh ill just leave it in my unlocked car Cat_Smug

proud tulip
#

We are going up to his house today to take him the 2000 so he can get it posted for sale

tough torrent
#

Who name is on the civic?

proud tulip
#

His 😂

#

Cheaper insurance

#

the plan with this car is to have it for at least 5 years, ill probably rebuild the engine and stuff at somepoint along the way

tough torrent
#

Why rebuild put a K motor

proud tulip
#

would a K motor fit in the 04? 🤔

tough torrent
#

Yes

proud tulip
#

👀

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

tough torrent
#

Look at price cost

proud tulip
#

🤔 that is trueeee

#

have you had any experience with the D series motors actually? :P

tough torrent
#

Yes my wife civic was D. I had a B motor

proud tulip
#

Ahhh gotcha :P

#

which one did she have?

tough torrent
#

B motor are now expensive it’s cheaper to get your hands on a K motor

proud tulip
#

my 2000 had a B series 😂

#

actually... lemme go see which one it was

tough torrent
#

D17A2

proud tulip
#

Nope still wrong

#

D16Y7 😂

tough torrent
#

My old Teg was a built B18B1 bottom end with ITR parts with a built B16 head with JDM CTR cams

#

All D motor are single camshaft you better off putting dual overhead camshaft more power

proud tulip
#

Oh. Ig while im out here i can give ya the VIN for my 04 😂

tough torrent
#

Ok I look it up

tough torrent
proud tulip
#

Ive seen a couple SIs go up for sale 😅

#

15,000 for the one lmao

tough torrent
#

Rebuild, motor swap or mileage fraud

proud tulip
#

I think its still for sale on Marketplace actually lmfao

#

Probably lmfao

tough torrent
#

They change out the cluster with low mileage or they roll it back.

proud tulip
#

My 04 has all the maintanence stuff with it so ik its 100%. And as far as ive been able to see so far. All the VINs match on all the stuff ive checked

tough torrent
#

Lots of shady shops do this.

proud tulip
#

Cluster says 146k rn. But when ive car faxed it. It said over 200k

tough torrent
#

What about on the motor and trans matching vin and the firewall?

proud tulip
#

Havent had the chance to check just yet

#

But ill be checking today

tough torrent
#

Also check the door jam driver side and on the dashboard at the front windshield driver side

proud tulip
#

Those were the first spots i checked xD

#

I had to check the driver side door bcz i noticed something weird about it 😂

#

This piece of trim. Doesnt match the passenger side 🤔

#

Passenger side is cloth. Drivers side has some weird plastic

tough torrent
#

D17A2, VTEC single overhead cam

proud tulip
#

Still confused about the mismatched trim pieces on the doors tho 😂

river bone
#

Cloth has been ripped off

#

Usually the cloth has a very thin layer of foam under it.. and thats the residue you see on the plastic

#

Just go to a breakers yard and find a matching food door panel.... might cost a tenner and looks much better

proud tulip
#

Ahhh gotcha makes sense

#

i aint too worried about it tbh

#

interior other than that is pretty damn clean

proud tulip
#

😂😂

proud tulip

oooooh clean

but polish them headlights 😂

👀

proud tulip

Father in law was already looking 😂

Sent me these lmfao

#

he really shouldnt enable me with car mods probably 😂

open sigil
#

is it LED bulbs?

proud tulip
#

not sure actually

#

i believe they are stock Halogen? id have to look it up again

open sigil
#

the one with bulbs is halogen

proud tulip
#

headlights usually just are the housings i believe. thats how the headlights i bought for the 2000 came :P

open sigil
#

smhhh get some led bulbs man

proud tulip
#

OH

#

they may actually be LED

neat isle
#

Mainstream LEDs came around in about 2007-2008

#

However aftermarket exists

proud tulip
#

Ahh then probs not

neat isle
#

And some high end things had them before

proud tulip
#

probably still factory Halogen. unless the previous owners had to replace them at somepoint

#

i actually cant find anything on what kinda of bulbs they used in the 04s 🤔

neat isle
#

Replacements could be LED, but it’s highly unlikely it’s anything other than Halogen from factory

neat isle
#

04 ford Freestar did too

proud tulip
#

hmmm

neat isle
#

Both of them

open sigil
#

spartan

proud tulip

We don’t need more blacked out cars with 5%

OH GOD

Time to go watch a show

i already got one on my CARID list 😂

neat isle
#

Also I need to get pics of grandfathers G35 I keep forgetting

open sigil
#

just dont turn into the average civic boy with a straightpipe and stickers all over the car

proud tulip
#

Absolutely fuckin not

#

straightpiped 4 cylinder motors make 0 sense

#

they sound like lawn mowerrs 😂

#

even V6 straight piped is a little iffy

open sigil
#

careful there arent any uptight VQ boys in here

#

they love their loud shitboxes

#

the amount of times ive seen a clapped out 350 with basically no exhaust make the most noise to go 40mph is nuts

proud tulip
#

😂

river bone
#

there's only 2 6 cylinder configs which can sound good straight piped.... inline 6 and boxer. with the right manifolds they can sound great/amazing. with the wrong manifold theyu sound just as shit as most underpowered longstroke built to be smooth V6 engines with 17 balance shafts and mass dampers and whatnot..

proud tulip
#

@open sigil this Civic absoluetlyyy SIPSSSS the gas. Drove 270 miles more or less since filling her Thursday. And its just now today a little below half 😂

Thing is fuckin crazyyy with the fuel efficency. I love ittt

simple bear
proud tulip
#

Gotta find one thats been taken care of tho Taco :3

#

But yesss. If you can. Find an 01-05? Civic Coupe EX. Id probably go 04-05 tho instead

Thats the 7th gen Civic

theyre so damn underrated

My brother in law has an 04

but god damn are they expensive

#

25k for a 2016 no thanks

proud tulip

Oh yeahhh. Anything 2013-present is still prettyyy expensive

simple bear
#

What is a good mileage for a 2001-ish civic?

open sigil
#

if that car was 20-21k it would be a good deal

simple bear
#

First thing I'd do when I get the civic is change out the head unit

open sigil
#

you have a lot of first things to do before getting a car

#

🤣

simple bear
#

License first

open sigil
#

and then sort out insurance to even drive it home

#

and that aint cheap at all

#

let alone find a civic that old in good condition

proud tulip
#

Indeed lol

#

My 04 is a rare find tbh

proud tulip
#

Damn. Gonna have to come up with a solution to where i can mount a phone holder in this car 😅

#

Cant be vents because phones too heavy with the otterbox case on it. Cant be on the dash bcz phones too tall so i wouldnt be able to charge it and have it mounted on the dash 😅

#

Could do a windshield mount tho maybe 🤔

#

Id have to get a good quality phone mount tho

tough torrent
#

Behind the AT shifter?

open sigil
#

just dont mount it all

#

ez

#

in all seriousness watch out for state laws, some states its illegal to have anything mounted on the windshield

tough torrent
#

as long it does not obstruct the driver view or interfere with the vehicle controls.

#

When did Maryland past a law. To not have any sticker mounted on all vehicle glass, haha Wait that explain why they don't have the vehicle inspection stickers on there front windshield.

Ah. Its legal here 😂

Unfortunately for Sadat 😂. California only allows it in certain spots

My phone's light enough for AC vent mounting so eh

proud tulip

The S20 Ultra be big and with an otterbox case its a tad heavy xD

tough torrent

Just get yourself a Carphone install for that soon to be historic Civic 🤣

proud tulip
#

i couldddd lmao

frosty snow
#

Ik Cali cops tried to ticket ppl for windshield stickers during rallies on the tint stripe

tough torrent
frosty snow
#

Then again ppl have dashcam and other stuff mounted there

open sigil
#

the law is mainly to stop people from having radar detectors mounted on the windshield

#

but can be used for anything

proud tulip
#

indeed lol

#

crazy that radar detectors are "illegal" 🙃

open sigil
#

well usually the people that use them are doing illegal stuff
