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

    Had a State Farm adjuster look at my hail damage. Received a check to repair it. It will be fixed. The hood sustained the most damage and will be replaced.

    What Were Your Past Cars?

    I haven't owned many cars that I count as just "mine" - vehicles in our household belong to both my wife and I. With that said - 1985 Honda Prelude coupe (mine; pre-marriage) 1993 Infiniti G20 sedan (mine; pre-marriage) 1995 Mazda Protege sedan (wife's car; pre-marriage) 2000 Oldsmobile Alero...

    Battery

    I guess as far as batteries go, I'm one of the lucky ones. With nearly 87,000 miles on my 2014 Civic SI, I'm still on the original Honda battery. Although I did sustain hail damage the other day, so there's that.

    Gas Prices - what are they where you live now

    Umm.....I paid $2.859/gal for 93 octane E10 in Dixon, IL yesterday. It'd be really nice if it got back down to under $2.50/gal again.

    Good or great off set

    If you don't want to deal with rolling and/or pulling your fenders and are at stock ride height, the safe zone is about +37mm to +42mm. That should give you a decent selection of wheels from which to choose. Things get more complicated as you lower your car on springs, bags, or coilovers.

    Torn on what dampers to pair with Swift Spec-R springs

    Hey everyone - I need a bit of advice for an upcoming suspension mod on my 2014 FB6. I am going to lower it with Swift Spec-R springs, but I'm not entirely sure what dampers to use. I have a new set of Koni Yellow rear shocks that I could use, but I'm not sure if new OEM dampers might be...

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

    Gave it a good bath to get all the salt and crap off. Also changed the drivers side wiper blade rubber; unfortunately, the passenger side refill was too short! So I have to get another one. Hope to lower it a tad this summer.

    2017 Civic Si Revealed

    The back-end reminds me of all the BMW rear ends that were wrecked by Chris Bangle so many years ago. Not a fan.

    WINTER WHEELS SETUP?

    I know exactly what you mean. It was darn near 70 here yesterday, and its supposed to be warm the rest of the weekend. I rolled the dice and put my all-seasons back on today. Let's hope I don't regret it.

    WINTER WHEELS SETUP?

    I am debating as to whether I should remove my winter setup this weekend or not (I am due for an oil/filter change and tire rotation anyway, so I'm really not adding any work). We have had scant snow since late December, but Midwest winters can be weird (we've had snow in April before....)...

    No rub?

    What are the specs on the wheels you are wanting to purchase? It's impossible to say if you will have rub with a certain set of tires without knowing the other variables in the system.

    Help me decide!

    It is true that Eaton superchargers are used on many OEM applications, and do have a favorable reputation for reliability. Generally, the problems arise with all the supporting mechanisms which enable the user to install forced induction on a vehicle that did not arrive from the manufacturer...

    Help me decide!

    Do NOT put aftermarket forced induction on your daily driver. In my experience, the more you mess with a car, the less reliable it becomes. You've been warned.

    Honda Dealer Oil Change cost

    My dealer wanted to charge $50 plus tax to change the oil and filter on my 2014 Si. I do it myself instead for about half that.
