Train wreck

Everyone is recovering from the debate

so this is just one of the longer threads about clutch noise, so you aren't alone - https://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/clutch-noise.6191/ looking into the engine bay from the front of the car, the clutch is on the right in the small reservoir/bottle by the firewall. Brake will be in the larger...

I used to run the 8th gen forum, and then I created this one. I've owned civics, fit, crvs etc in the past. I just didn't get the 9th. @bootyluvr was a member on the 8th gen forums. A number of users he's met at dragon car meets etc from there ended up hanging out here when I opened 9th. I...

as disgusting as that is, it's so therapeutic seeing it come clean. Now let's see mtv cribs go to their house and see how bad it looks. If the car looks this bad, I can only imagine the house.

I've never actually owned a 9th gen. :oops:

I’m not aware of anything being plastic. Someone else would have to chime in there. I don’t own a 9th gen to verify, but I’ve never seen anyone say the 8th gen is better or that the 9th has plastic.

Or buy tein’s own rubber “Silencer” if you hear anything. https://www.tein.com/products/silencer_rubber.html

It’s your car, but 1/4” difference in drop is like nothing. Go for the tein. It may not make a peep. If you hear any spring noise you may have to spend $2 in plastic tube. It’s no biggie

H&r is also highly liked by users here. I’d say significantly over tein due to noise. A number of users have bought plastic tubing at places like lowes to run over their tein springs to keep the coils from hitting one another. You could have it with others, but I’ve seen it more with tein...

Welcome to the site. I see the car is new to you from your post. Do you have any maintenance records from the previous owner or have any idea when the trans fluid was replaced last? If you have no records on the trans fluid, I would suggest changing it out with fresh honda mtf. From a lot...

I’m ready for fall and all things Halloween :nerd:

for game time

If you go with aftermarket lowering springs, don’t use the oem shocks and struts. Go with TruHart. They’re one of the few bolt on aftermarket shock/strut designed for lowered civics. Users here have reported good things with them.

nothing wrong with eibach. Just note that you will be out of factory alignment spec with lowering springs. If you care about that, you'll need camber arms for the rear. Most have said basically any spring setup gets you about -2 degrees camber in the rear.

usually it's just issues with the cheapest of the cheap brands putting out poor quality products. That can be said not just with aftermarket car parts, but it can also be said with a majority of anything in retail. The old saying you get what you pay for holds up. $300 coilovers should not...

people upgrade the rear to make the car more playful and easier to get the car to rotate in turns ... autox, track and whatnot. It provides less understeer. I have no clue about using the front sway on the si to the lx as a direct bolt on. It may not work, or it may require different hardware...

I would agree. Jackson is such a crazy duel threat

si suspension is not plug and play with the non-lx. There are bolt sizing differences between the two where adapters are needed. Si springs are also stiffer to account for the heavier engine. Users who've done the swap with adapters have said it actually increased fender gap/ride height. Lx...
