Finally got around to replacing the bushings in the shitbox hatch. Also dialed in the preload correctly on the coilovers and it drives so much better now. No more snap oversteer, it's actually very neutral now and oversteer is easy to induce when you want it.

Thoughts on the CRZ? To me it just seems like if I wanted to hoon a prius, this would be a good option. Otherwise it's a slightly sportier and impractical honda fit.

>>16191228
So are you saying it was too stiff before?

thoughts on the civic touring? 2016 vs 17? any major differences?

how do you guys decide on a single color? i like the blue and white, the current car i've had for 15+ years was white

>To me it just seems like if I wanted to hoon a prius, this would be a good option.
Yep that's pretty much what it is. It sucks if you look at it as a hybrid, it sucks if you look at it as a """""sports"""""" car. It is fun to drive but has huge blind spots in the rear. The interior and exterior look pretty good imo. It's a hit or miss. Make sure to get it in manual. Test drive one and see it for yourself.

>>16191253
No major differences. I believe the only thing they did is fix some minor bugs (if any) from the 2016 model.

I don't really care about color. I just go for what ever is that matches my preferences. Having a nice color would be a plus.

I'd go with blue if I were you. There's more white cars than blue cars.

Just did an oil change last week. Found out I can't see the /hg/ scratch some faggot made, I'm guessing the car wash buffed it out lol. I also have a gas leak since like the past two years. I scraped on some snow the first year it was lowered and it smelled like gas and the leak was formed. I never tried diagnosing it since I'm too lazy. I don't plan on doing anything to it anymore besides maintenance.

my bro is using the jetta while his he has his accord at school where he doing a bunch of body work and painting it. I wanna wait till I have the jetta back so I have a daily to run while I have the civic motor out. Also leaning towards buying rods and pistons because the cams are optimized for 12.5:1 compression. It's gonna be another 1500 with upgraded oil and fuel pumps, but I'll feel better about the build I think.
I just wanna do the valves and springs for fun and I need something to work on. I'll just leave the cover on when I'm done so it doesn't get covered in dust and dog hair.

full k24a2 is decently quick though. tune is getting pretty close and I clocked a 0-60 just a hair over 6 seconds, with average shifts on all seasons and a ton of wheel spin. I bet I could get it to 5.5 with some practice.

Dude... what? Hard to find a D series header? The one I put on my car was $50 USD from Amazon.

what happened with nissan generals, desus

>>16196371
Really? Vtak is regulated in part by oil pressure, so I would think anything having to with oil pressure should probably be plugged in. I guess I don't really know though. Why didn't you have it plugged in before?

>>16193908
Are you not talking about the engine in your red hatch? Did the y7 finally blow up?

Apparently JDM engines didn't have the pressure switch which is why I don't have it. Apparently grounding that plug fixes it? I never did anything with it before.

It fit the d16y8 I have now and a d16y7 engine (that I blew up... lol). It's not as good as a DC header, but I don't see a problem with it. If your engine uses the same flange I would think it'd work.

I had to modify my exhaust to make it all fit, but I have a welder and expected that.

The seller didn't ship me the right color thought. I was kind of buttmad about it.

if you can find a head for a decent price just swap that on. Probably won't make big gains but it would be a good project while you're in school.

either that or do what I did and just wait until you finish your degree. Granted I'm a basement dweller and don't have a qt gf, but I worked my ass off for what is basically a meme degree (economics) and landed a job almost immediately after graduating making more money than my friends with engineering and finance degrees. No rent living with mom and free, unlimited tendies, each month I'm able to buy top tier parts and do the build exactly how I want.

that would be the front bumper, being half attached

OK I learned some shit about headers today. Fifth gen Civic D series and Sixth gen ones are completely different when it comes to exhaust headers. I'm willing to bet that header I got would bolt right up to my old auto sedan with a sixth gen D16. Met a guy who had an OEM fifth gen header so that will do until I buy something good later down the line.

Also did a coolant bleed today and it worked great. Idle still bounces like crazy which I probably will never figure out. Also found out it's the distributor making the noise at 2000 RPM. Probably just needs a new cap and rotor.

Driving without vtak is really weird. I'm used to that aggressive top end but it's just fucking nothing now. Going past 4k isn't even worth it.

you think that feels souless. try an auto when vtec doesnt kick in.

>>16200494
Ugh that was my auto Civic. It was also more sluggish than it should have been. Passing on the highway was pretty difficult.

08 Civic EX here

So I'm pretty sure head gasket is kinda fucked. Combustion gasses are getting into the cooling system and making it overheat. Problem I'm having is that there's also a small crack in the block that lets coolant seep out over time.

What should I do? Fuck it and just change head gasket or change motor since block is fucked?

>>16200571
If the block wasn't leaking I'd just change the gasket since I had that exact same problem and fixed it last night. I'd definitely find another engine.

>>16200587
I just now remembered on a B is for Build video the guy used JBWeld to seal up a oil leak on his BRZ's block. I think I might give that a try.

Even with the odd tune, it feels sluggish on the auto em2 without kicking vtec in.

>>16200691
You know, its funny how my d17a2 block can be bought in good condition for $80. Thats pretty cheap for a bare block.

>>16200691
Worth a shot if the crack is small. I've heard JB can do some crazy shit. If it doesn't work I see a working R18A1 engine on eBay for $560. Or maybe just hit up a junkyard for a good block.

Dad has just mom. She has a fear of manuals because of the i4 79 mustang that was her first car. Idk where to even begin explaining why.

>>16200828
Must have been a real bad experience. I honestly feel safer in a manual.

>>16200844
her fear for me is that no one could help me fix it or drive the thing out when they need to. though they rarely even drive my auto civic.
keep in mind i had to convince her that jackstands wont fail and drop the car on me. im using 4 jacks at a time btw.

>>16191418
what is the function of all this shit and why is it on every car? doesn't the space between the headlight provide enough space for the radiator? or do modern cars need EXTREME AIRFLOW or some shit?

Actually on a lot of cars those hexagon jobs on the front are radiator shutters, which open and close to control airflow and temperature.

The problem isn't that they aren't getting enough air, but that they are getting too much. I have the crx in the OP picture (which has very similar bumper to that comparison photo) and even with a half size single core radiator it takes forever to get to operating temperature.

Due to CAFE bullshits the cars have to have higher MPG constantly, and reducing airflow and increasing intake air temperature will give you higher MPG at the expense of engine life


Plus people think it looks good, so there's that

>>16200981
I still use the basic radiator instead of getting one of those fancy aluminum ones just because it takes forever to get up to temp. Also I'm jew as fuck and have other shit I'd rather blow my shekels on.

>>16201000

Engines want a minimum operating temperature. Even though they will run when really cold, you'll find that if you try to rev the shit out of it when it's cold, the metals haven't expanded into their correct tolerances, oil isn't flowing as it should and you can blow shit up.

However, modern cars only care about MPG (in america) due to CAFE regulations. This means they will run the motor lean on purpose just for better fuel economy. (Even though this is bad for engine life) They will also use thinner oil, which again is bad for engine life. They will also try to reduce the weight of the car, which is bad for YOUR life.


TL;DR
Yes, basically

>>16201000
well duh. its combustion. more compression = more heat = large expansion when going from cold.

New '16 civic touring at dealership is 27k, @$29k walking out the door.

>>16202291
Just order. Honda dealers anymore aim for selling near or above ex trim msrp even on lower trims unless you specifically order from the sales manager or online.
This is why only one manual gets on the lots for each car type at a time every few months.
Point is to sell twords the upper middle class families.

Fresh out of uni though so I only have a few grand in cash, and have to have enough to cover first/last months rent on new apt + security deposit, etc.
Could probably afford an accord, but want to maximize savings because I want to buy a house soon and need to stockpile cash.

RockAuto.com is a good place for them. Pretty easy to do with basic tools. Was one of the first things I did to my car aside from an oil change.

From there you can either pop off the upper ball joint or the lower one along with the shock fork bolt to give the axle room to come out. After that just use a pry bar and quick force to pop the axle out of the trans.

Just do what this guy does. Same video I used to change mine.

The metal contacts inside the distributor cap. I gotta go pick one up from my buddy though. My idle is at fucking 2000.

Thats a different tripfag. Im the trip whome almost dies everyother week.
>>16209757
Didn't. Its late so i put back on the valve cover and it starts slightly better than before. Though i can't tell where this leak is. If it even is a leak. Block is covered in tar and burnt oil yet i never seem to run low on oil.

Moderate dems are no different than moderate Republicans from my experience. Radicals act like children though as well as the people that didn't work for their position. Also macrory trying to win in nc is fucking hilarious. Every recount he loses by bigger numbers and with voterfraud laws in place he loses even more.

>>16209710
I thought you were gonna change the hg? Is your dip stick oil milky?

>>16209769
There's two kinds of Dems these days - those that run the show and look a lot like Republicans on anything that isn't women or gays, and those that say "hey, let's fix things" and get laughed at and sidelined.
GOP are all corrupt but some are also insane or just plain morons.
Hillary likely downgrade from Obama, Trump downgrade from Dubya, with the added bonus he's fickle, vindictive and kinda a douchebag. Hard to predict exactly what kind of shitshow we're in for, but so far looks like kleptocracy - basically where the establishment was going eventually anyway, but much more incompetent, more infighting between advisors, more nepotism, cronyism, more looting and pillaging of resources material, financial and otherwise. We were on the road to hell before, now we have a supercharger.

Nope. But there is oil on the engine. Didn't have much light out so i have to put off some of my plans.

Should I get a full gsr b18c1 engine or b18c1 block with b16 head? Which will run better in a boost application?

>>16210811
Supra mk III

>>16210904
no pop up headlights bruh

I'm wondering if converting it to rear wheel drive is worth it

>>16210957
You'd spend 10k to make a honda rwd. Just buy a fucking s2000 at that point.

I will a little later when I'm ready to film it for the youtubes.

An unopening of this magnitude needs to be savored.

Doing something like that, you'd have to rework the suspension and find a drivetrain that would work.

Would entertain the idea of chopping an S2000 up for that. It'd be sick if you could FMR something like a BA4.

Keep the BA4 for what it is. They've been drying up all of this decade.

>>16211129
I'd love to find a decent one in queensland. I've got a wrx but I want a more sensible daily and the 89 prelude is the more beautiful vehicle to me I must have one

The problem you don't face is a trailer park American that has smoked Pall-Malls in the fucker and hasn't changed the oil in 15,000 miles.

>>16210934
Which ever one has the less compression before turbo

>>16211178
are they hard to find over there?

My low beam LEDs were flickering when turned off. Was fucking stumped but turned out to be a relay thing.

Fucking vacuum cap fell off the intake manifold and that was the cause of my 2000 RPM idle. I put some heat shrink rubber sleeve over it. Some fag in a beat up Chebby crossover thought I wanted to race and launched his car when the light turned green. Many keks were had.

Finally got a new cap and rotor though. Not sure if it fixed anything but the old ones were worn bad.

it is pretty a e s t h e t i c if treated well

Was getting mad at all the bullshit tonight that I totally forgot the exhaust finally arrived. It's fucking gorgeous in matte black. Even got a beanie just in time for the cold weather, sticker I'll put on my PC case, a lanyard I'll never use, and a license plate frame I'll actually use.

Can't wait to install it.
