Made this little sticker with the recommended speeds for shifting and stuck it in my dash and so far I have to say the driving feels much smoother when you follow these numbers, supposedly you'll get optimal fuel economy too but I haven't been using it long enough to report on that yet

Whatever you do do use touch up paint you'll regret it

Not that I know of no

In all 4 tires though, it was a problem on my last set of tires too

All 4 tires are new [emoji17]

Seems like I lose 4 a month [emoji52]

2013 SI sedan I have the upgraded 17 inch wheels I think there were 2 options for the 2013 model and mine were the expensive ones.

Yea well I got to the place with the gauge and pump and I read 23 on all tires and filled to 30 PSI now my ride is nice and firm I used 2 guages so I'm assuming it was accurate, I didn't overfill right?

Since I don't have a pump at home I have to drive about 10 miles to find a pump Now if my PSI recommendation is 32PSI cold, how much should I fill it to after driving?

I have little technical knowledge I know what a lot of things do, but not how they work or how to assemble or disassemble

Yea but that force was going in the opposite direction plus gravity idk lol

Ok so I redid the tightening and my car works and droves fine but idk of I'm paranoid but it looks like my 1 wheel may have some camber and I did make the mistake of loosening a bolt while the wheel was raised (using foot pressure to loosen), is it possible I damaged the suspension by applying a...

Yea I got someone bringing me a wrench. So just to recap: 1) *while lifted* use factory wrench to tighten lug nuts in star pattern, tighten to arm strength 2) lower car 3) Use torque wrench to tighten to 80 pound feet in star pattern Correct?

Question: The manual states that you should use 80 lb-ft to tighten the lug nuts, but it shows the LX civic wheels, is it the same for the SI wheels?

So tighten to the point where the wheel won't move by arm strength, but still loose enough where I can tighten the lug nuts without straining my arms? Also what about the tightening while raised and then lowered?

Thanks, I'll remove the wheel later and add it back, but does this mean I tighten the wheel using the wrench by hand while the wheel is raised and then again when lowered? Also note that I had to use body weight to loosen the lug nuts, I was kinda applying the same logic when tightening :P

Would using body weight be sufficient to tighten? I weigh 180 pounds and I stepped on the wrench until it would not turn anymore

How do I measure torque if I don't have special equipment? Also do I perform the star pattern while the car is raised and then again when the car is lowered?

So I did some wheel detailing today and I removed my wheels fine but the manual was vague on putting the wheel back on. After I put the wheel back on I tightened the lug nuts as tight as I could with my arm strength, then I removed the jack and used my body weight to leverage the nuts back on...

That thing is gorgeous, so clean
