    Sun Visor Removal?

    No worries at all, man. If you have ever removed a sun visor from pretty much any other car in existence, those instructions would have been spot on - lol.

    Sun Visor Removal?

    I saw that somewhere in the forums and messaged him. I think his sun visor has a different attachment method because he mentioned a screw and prying off a cap (like the older Civics). I'm not sure if this was a 9thgen change or just for the '13. But I don't know what year AlienPrime drives...

    Sun Visor Removal?

    So I got the damn things out today. I don’t see what was wrong with the old method of attaching these visors - two bolts covered by a little plastic cover that could be popped off with a screw driver. I agree with “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” and believe whoever thought this design was the...

    Sun Visor Removal?

    Hey guys, It seems the sun visor has changed for the 9th gen Civic and this new attachment method is odd. There is a little white tab made of shitty plastic that has already been crumpled by pressing it 3 or 4 times with a driver, so I need to ask if I’m doing this wrong. Has anyone removed this...

    Official 'What did you do to your car today?' Thread

    I really wasn't expecting much from just the doors, rear deck, and trunk. Those aren't really the trouble areas for road noise. The door noise is mostly coming through the glass itself and the rubber seal between the glass and the metal door frame. There is also a bit of noise coming through...

    Official 'What did you do to your car today?' Thread

    Added more dampening material to the car today. It didn’t help as much as I was hoping with the road noise, but I reckon that will get much better if I do the floor and ceiling. Also replaced the tweeters, door speakers, and rear deck speakers while the car was apart. I usually don’t play my...

    Official 'What did you do to your car today?' Thread

    I added sound dampening material to my '13 EX today. I've read about the '13's upgraded sound dampening, which is shown in the first picture. The little black strips are similar to my aftermarket sound dampening but I still decided to add more. Unmodified: After installation: Also put a bit...

    '13 Si Dash Garnish in '13 EX?

    That is an excellent idea. Unfortunately, I got caught up in upgrades last night and ended up buying a new sound system, rear sway, and new tires for my car within about 30 minutes of each other (fraud alert slowed me down, LOLOL). I will check out the forum deal in a few weeks after I sit in a...

    R18 ECO mode in Manual Transmission

    I drive a '13 EX manual (gasoline, not diesel) and disagree that the Econ button adds torque. It feels like it changes the ECU map a bit to restrict my throttle response and low end power (as well as A/C and other cabin stuff). Although, if you kick the motor up passed 5k RPM it doesn't feel too...

    '13 Si Dash Garnish in '13 EX?

    Hey guys, I’m getting a 2 din head unit soon and will need to purchase a new dash bezel. The one included on Crutchfield is flat black so I’ll have to replace the left side dash garnish in order to have them match. Since I’d be getting an extra anyways, I was thinking about buying OEM Si dash...

    Crossfit anyone?!

    Their site says level 1 Crossfit coaches. Is that a tier system where 1 is the highest or a 1-x system where 1 is only enough to say "Hey I'm a Crossfit coach"? I really can't imagine it mattering at my level of physical fitness. I haven't exercised in years, lol.

    Crossfit anyone?!

    There is a place near me that I'm interested in trying. I've never done Crossfit but it seems interesting. Is $100 per month the going rate for this stuff, for a 2 times a week allowance (this is what I was quoted at this facility)? It seems a bit high compared to a regular gym, especially...

    Center console

    In the center, I put my sunglasses in the raised compartment and keep the lower tray empty to reduce clutter. The raised compartment doesn’t fit some styles of sunglasses I’ve tried but luckily my primary pair fits just fine. Closed and clean: In the lower left cubby, I keep the controllers...

    Transmission Problems - How to Approach Service Department?

    It's been a problem for the last 2-3k miles. I didn't notice it when I first bought the car. This is the first time I brought it up with the dealer. It hasn't been a huge deal until not being able to get into 1st gear from neutral almost got me in an accident a week ago. I agree that it seems...

    Transmission Problems - How to Approach Service Department?

    Well that was a terrible experience. The representative said they test drove the vehicle a few times and did not notice any problems only to send me on my way. Does anyone have advice on how to prove intermittent problems like this? I can't leave the vehicle with them for a week to have it...

    Transmission Problems - How to Approach Service Department?

    I'm not sure if they intend to keep it overnight. I sure hope they don't have to, I wouldn't have a way to get back to them without the car, lol. I'll definitely print that out, thanks for the idea.

    Transmission Problems - How to Approach Service Department?

    This may be an unnecessary thread, but I’d rather be over prepared than under prepared. So I have an appointment on Thursday to have my vehicle looked at regarding my transmission problems. My car problems don’t occur every time I drive and are most obvious after it’s been sitting overnight...

    MY CAR STINKS PLEASE HELP!!

    1) Putting baking soda in the hole will help, but breaking the parts down to get everything covered in baking soda will yield better results. You could always try without taking it apart first, see if you're happy with the result, and only take it apart if you're unhappy. Just make sure you're...

    MY CAR STINKS PLEASE HELP!!

    My buddy uses this and it smells good! That would definitely help with the scent after you do what you can to clean the source. Also, having a JDM air freshener adds 10hp :P

    MY CAR STINKS PLEASE HELP!!

    I've had dog urine, cat urine (way worse than dog urine, for the record), food spills, and coffee spills in my old car. I've found the best way to clean these types of messes out of carpet/cloth is as Dragos said - use baking soda. First vacuum the area to get the loose dirt or dust out of the...
