After I got a rim bent on right rear passenger last month, so today the right front passenger side shows two crack lines in inner lips. I know those two crack lines were not showing up before. I even had alignment done last week. I was under the car inspecting rims myself. So today I replaced...

@webby I just ordered SPC camber bolt 81260. I have also been thinking about replacing the suspension components this summer. The current HFP strut/shock took a lot of beating. I’m thinking about going two options 1. Remove HFP spring then put KYB excel-G strut/shock 2. KYB excel G...

from your first post on this thread, are you on - I probably think you actually answered my question. I think this is a factory spec alignment bolt from Moog. I just asked my friend and he gave me #, Moog 90474. I looked it up and information says it restores camber back to factory spec. So I...

@webby My Honda friend brought me to a guy who always does Honda’s car alignment. He dialed the rear camber back with -1.5 camber. But the front can’t be dialed. I even had Moog camber bolt installed. He said he tried but just can’t for some reasons. He said we can retry with another camber...

I would like to tweak the following alignment to get some better cornering performances. http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com/RedShift06CivicTech.htm street mild Front camber -1’ (negative 1?) Rear camber -0.8 - 1.5’ (Negative 0.8 -1.5?) I asked around the shops for the alignment but all of...

The tire is bad. They said it bubbles on a side wall in one particular area. The shop I bought new tires last year didn’t want to provide warranty or attempt to try. They said I have run flat for a bit because it showed signs on sidewall. BS. They could’ve told me on the first day when I asked...

Updated status: I got a new white rim replacement. Mounted the previous Bridgestone tire. All is well now. Since this rim is a kinda discontinued, I may get another new one. I will put the new one on and then save a good old one as a spare.

I got some BS going on. My friend has a 17” rim so I dropped it to the tire shop where I bought them. It also turns out the tire itself is bad too. The tire shop confirmed that the leak is closed to side wall and it bubbles up. I asked for warranty replacement since the tire is last than 1...

That rim repair shop told my friend that they don’t have the size of the tire and asked me to reach out to Continental directly for tire warranty. I imagine this is a non sense.

So after 2 weeks back n forth dealing with the bent tire, I was being run around. My friend knew a local company which does rim repair. They said they helped straighten the rim, but it’s still leaking in the bead. The picture shows it’s leaking air after the rim is straightened. I went back to...

Hi @webby those aren’t donut. Those are stock oem rims, 15”. I put oem 15” steely on front set and aftermarket 17” on rear. Will they potentially run into problem?

I got a quote from a rim specialist shop. $120 for rim straightening, tire mounting and balancing. Not bad. I’m gonna get it done because my car is a daily driver. I’m not feeling the car with front steely wheel. This thing can’t take corner and noisy. I’m gonna get the rim repair first and will...

I guess it’s time to hunt for a new set of rims. Finally an excuse. A couple of days ago, when I was driving my car in the morning, all of a sudden, I got the low tire air pressure alert. Found out the right rear passenger wheel was losing air. I then went to a shop nearby and they said I got a...

I have been troubleshooting an annoying issue. From time to time, I hear some noise from air vent. The noise is like “di di di di di di”. I did replace the cabin filter. Sometime when I hear this noise, I just turn off the car then turn it back on. Then it goes away. Any information for...

@webby Yes I can tell you. After my civic got a new tensioner, idler pulley, belt and the rear torque mount, for some reason my car is now driving so damn smooth. No hesitate in accelerating. I guess with a new tensioner with a new belt restores the car performance combined with less engine...

This weekend was a maintenance day. I had my friend’s shop swapped out the tensioner, idler pulley, and rear torque mount. The tensioner and idler pulley have been noisy. Also I have been feeling the movement when shifting or accelerating. Sometimes I heard knock noise. The rear torque mount...

The paint job was good. I mean that is not Macco cheap paint job on the taxi. It cost some $$$ when I have refinished the left rear passenger door side because I had them fixed other paint problem. When I got a quote to refinish the right rear passenger door, price was a bit expensive than other...

I’ve been arranging time and a shop to get my passenge rear door repaint that blends to front passenger door and rear quarter panel. I will treat this as my birthday gift. My car has been fixed by a geico shop in the past. Last time when I got rear ended, they replaced my rear bumper and I...

Hello I was trying to install Megan Racing front lower tie bar and H brace with my friend at his shop. We got the H brace installed with under tray cover staying. We just cut holes where the bolt is. But when we were trying to install the front lower tie, we were running into issues. It looks...

So my AC compressor pulley broke and it's partially seized the belt at 66k on my r18 which I found early. I thought this thing start showing failures at 100k. Now I am wrong and need a lesson learned. As a preventative maintenance, how often do we check the belt and those pulleys? How often do...
