What makes you want one over an RS or Type R? I felt like those had a lot more effort put into thenm. Seems like you could get the same product with a regular STI and a bit of weight reduction surgery. The +5HP over the regular is so little of an upgrade it could attributed to dyno inconsistency.

it has upgraded pistons, potentially forged.

That was the biggest weakness of a EJ

All I really know is that the hydraulic fluid in the aircraft that I work on, which is a mineral-based oil, swells the tires up like a mother if left to sit on them too long. Dunno if it's the mineral-based aspect or if 5606 has something special about it, but I'd be hesitant.

Heard that, thanks for the heads up.

What year, and is it Canadian built? (VIN starts with 2) There was a recall not too long ago on Canadian built 2006-2011 civics for failing clearcoat.

>>17376619
2007 but not Canadian. only recall I got was the passenger side deathbag

>>17376623
Well that's shitty. Go get another quote somewhere else before you do anything. If you do some of the prep work (sanding, masking, removing trim, etc) they might knock the price down a fair amount.

you could make a transferable stereo to work with most any car
6 inch component speakers
tiny under seat sub woofer

Sony CPA-9C
line level splitter
speaker level to line level adapter

or a low tec second hand head unit .eg sony CDX GT200

What are you looking for OP? Just a nice flat response for everything?
Also what do you consider a decent amount, car audio setups can range from $35-3500

>>17376521
Who else $20 Sony radio with stock speakers?

Why not a 3k civic?

>>17376234
3k is my total budget right now and I'd like to have extra in case of repairs.
But mainly because every Civic in my area for that cheap is

Oh I mind.

The more spiders, the fewer other insects. They're bros unless they're harmful where you live.

They don't.

>they officially denied any blame, saying the crashed truck merely skidded on his own, without the company's van having any blame on it

I bet they consent to it, OP.
Fucking companies deserve to die for that.

i need to know for rust will eat my car

Use Fluid Film

It smells like rancid shit for a week, but the gel-ish substance stays on a lot harder and protects much better

>>17375967
Chain oil isn't that great at staying on. Its more there for lubrication and keeping shit off the chain.

Most of the mainstream brands you have to reapply if you've run through rain, or after every 500 miles or so.

If you get a V6 camry. The 1MZ-FE engine used in them has a couple problems.

>Valve cover gaskets will probably need replaced
>Notorious for oil consumption and sludging due to poor oil port design
>It is a complete and total cunt to change the spark plugs
>Even worse to change the valve cover gaskets (Took me 2 straight days to do)
>IAC valves are really iffy and like to stick after a while, but easy to rebuild
>Valve seals probably wont last past 150K

On the flipside:
>Engine bay is somewhat roomy and easy to do basic stuff on
>Decent power, torque, and milage all around for a DD
>The automatic tranny is unkillable if fluids are changed every 30K
>Engine itself is quite reliable, but eats oil like crummy eats shit after spinning out at 5mph
>Cooling system except for the heater core is piss easy to fix
>Electronics are rock solid

If you go to buy one OP and see some sludge under the oil cap RUN. I don't mean blown head gasket milkshake, more like a darker brown molasses.

If you see some caked on oil residue on the outside of the engine stray away unless its under a grand. Have fun replacing those gaskets.


t. older toyota v6 owner

dont get a v6

get a 4cyl japanese car

corolla, camry, accord etc

learn to change your own oil and brakepads and stuff on it

take everything you learned from that car and apply it to the next car you buy. keep buying japanese cars until you know what you're doing and then the only real limitations will be your budget

Bigger bore/longer stroke. No replacement for displacement.
