    What is fully needed to do a rear and front camber adjustment for proper tire wear

    Understand that I'm just going from memory - I'm pretty sure that is the correct number - I'm on holidays for a week so I've got no way to verify 100%

    What is fully needed to do a rear and front camber adjustment for proper tire wear

    Just a concern with your rear toe numbers (I realize that they're not "yours") - I believe the number for rear toe for "mild performance" is not correct. If I recall the factory total rear toe spec is 0.16 degrees. The "street aggressive" of 0.08 degrees per side is correct. If you ran rear toe...

    wtb si sedan spoiler

    Close - but the accessory 4dr trunk lid spoiler has no light in it like the Si sedan spoiler. http://estore.honda.com/honda/parts/view-honda-parts-catalog-detail.asp?m=2012-civic-4-si-nav-6mt&sn=&b=B++5510&dl=206707# #8 is what you want. But I'm thinking you'd have to buy the trunk springs...

    Is this tire repairable?

    try to match it up - ideally same brand, tread pattern, load and speed rating as the other tire on the same axle : minimum - same load and speed rating. Otherwise you are buying two or four tires

    Squiggy's 2012 DBP II Si Coupe

    I'm sure the lower rad hose releases just by pulling the spring clip out of the rad... Just pull out the clip #8 and bam! Its off! Then you take the hose clamp off once the hose is in your hands!

    Dumbest question ever: front camber adjustment

    Well...not so fast! For minor just out of spec adjustments you can either loosen off the strut bolts at the knuckle. Under the weight of the vehicle the camber would go a little negative. To make it more positive you'd have to take the load off the strut, loosen the bolts and maybe pull the top...

    stutter? if you can call it that

    Ok you made work for this one! First you have an automatic (didn't see a clutch master cylinder in yoru build pics). What you are feeling is completely characteristic for you vehicle. The A/T uses grade logic where the PCM compares actual driving conditions with "memorized" conditions based on...

    Mass Air Flow Sensor help

    P0171 is actually the code for fuel metering too lean. So it's possible that there is crap on the MAF wire but there could be other issues. To clean it just remove it from the upper air box cover by removing the two screws that secure it and the connector.

    Dealership Scheduled Service?

    Well this is only my opinion... When I started with Honda/Acura 22 years ago the service interval was 6 000km and the sequence was - oil change: oil change, brake service and tire rotation; oil change; oil change, transmission fluid change, brake service, tire rotation and minor tune up. Then...
