ya just run the good stuff for the first tank, then switch to medium next tank and if all still good then switch to the cheap stuff and if it still runs good then your fine!
only vehicle i had to run premium gas in was my 66impala when it had its original 327. and it would just ping with the cheap stuff, but i switched the motor to a 400 from a newer 88suburban and now i can run cheap stuff again no problem, thats what i did when i switched motors is just step down and see if you loose any performance or any noises, if not then only run what ya need

finally got around to rolling the fenders. Also found out I have a huge bubble on one of my tires. So I have 2 tires that are almost bald, and one of the others has a bubble. So 3 of the 4 need to be replaced. Looks like I'm going to be getting rims a lot sooner than planned. Oh well guess its time to start a project thread

-got rid of the binding in my rear upper control arms, no more nonstop squeaking(apparently when Honda did a full alignment months ago they didn't keep the upper control arm end links even in the upper trailing arm mount, it was at a slight angle which was binding). Ever since it got real cold out here it started squeaking nonstop.

-replaced stock headlight bulbs with sylvania silverstar ultra bulbs

-tried the 3M headlight lens restorer kit, worked perfectly

-weekly wash

ya well theres a guy local that rents out the fender rollers for $50. so i figure its worth it to have the tool. its way easier and the lip comes out much smoother than if i just beat on it

o i agree for a small car they work great! but for my truck its to much money to buy the roller tool PLUS the adaptor tool so it will fit my truck and roll its fenders
im forced to do the hammer/dolly beatdown and eventually im going to bust out the sawzaw and welder on my front.
the fronts the easiest on a civic, just the rear that needs the most work. the fronts just have what 2 tabs that you can simply push up and back outta the way.lol

mounted the the oem raybrig foglights I've had for a while. Realized it didn't come with a foglight switch after I put the bumper back on so I have to wait for that before I finish lol.
