"what have you done to your civic today?"
Today I did my quarterly maintenance. I checked tire pressure. (all 4 were low. Oops.) I lubricated my window tracks with silicone spray lube. While I was at it, I went ahead and oiled up the hinges on all 4 doors. I cleaned out a lot of the trash. But most importantly (...maybe), I lotioned and cleaned my leather seats. My primary emphasis was getting the brake fluid spill off the back seat. There was only mixed success.
I need to go get an oil change and I need to change out my fuel filter. 123K miles on the original one... it's probably due.

Last weekend i pulled the motor and trans out to drop a new motor in.
I drained all the gas out of the gas tank to put fresh gas in. I hope this coming weekend i can drop the new motor in and get it back on the road. Then it will be off to the body shop to get a small dent by the rear bumper fixed and repainted.

On a whim I painted all the random metal mounts (like radiator mount, wire mounts). Not done but here's a pic (unfortunately taken right before I cleaned the bay):

Its been a while since I have been on this forum. Found one that is geared all to non vtec. So I guess it time for an update. Civic has been lower 2.5 inches, camber kits added, new Falken 195/60r14 tires. Today I changed my oil, instead of Mobile1 I used Quaker State Advanced 5w30. Reset my alignment for better tire wear. I didnt like the slightly negative camber look or tire wear. Had my car tuned with hondata a few months ago made 133whp and 127ftlbs. Added a 99 Si logo to the trunk in the EOM location. Those who remember me know I have a B18b1 not a B16. I have destroyed a few B16s on the road. Well thats about it.
I had a headlight go out. I went and got some Silverstars, but remembered I had a spare 9003 bulb from an old totalled Civic, swapped that in, and returned the Silverstars. I hate being so broke because those would have looked so much better. Cheap fix.
