Re: What did you do to your civic today?
You told false information and then tried to call me out on it. So yes, you lied and now you are a hypocrite too.
That does seem quite high, what is that computer that you use? Maybe that is not very accurate? What have you done to improve your mileage if anything?

LOL!
Somebody need to get his facts right.
Not a single part of my statements are lies. Note that i did not remove any of them, it was missing information, and you assumed that I was at a lower speed, mistakenly so, due to the lack of accuracy on my post. Which i corrected.
I am afraid you are lying to yourself on what consists a lie. Missing information is not a lie. Again, get your facts right before you accuse people about what you are actually doing

Fair warning. Name calling is frowned upon in any forums.
Do not name call anyone else anymore. As per forum rules.

Re: What did you do to your civic today?
Actually, people routinely rode my *** and blew past me when I was going 80mph on I-24. I kinda miss that part now...
BTW, made it up to the mountains and back, no issues except that I ran out of windshield spray (blasting tailgaters with it was another trick I learned back in TN
). Boy, was I pleased when I saw this when I pulled in!
That's up and down mountains, A/C on, about 80mph for around 75% of the trip. No low fuel light in sight! Woo!
Also upgraded the rear turn signal bulbs to LED. Guess which one I did first. I'll post a mini-DIY shortly.

I called you a liar, which is true. Whether or not you want to accept the fact that you lied, is up to you.
Good day sir.

Having some of the electronics looked at. Since the lights on my aftermarket stereo failed to light up and suddenly last night started to work as if nothing was wrong. New pads and rotors soon.

Bent a wheel last night. :-/ Still deciding on what to do after I get it repaired. Matte Black Powdercoat or Black Anodized.
Might pick up a set of CE28Ns, that I've been eyeballing. We'll see.

There's a 4-2-1 header in the trunk. When I get it to my buddy's place and put it on the rack I'll be installing that and doing a major overhaul this isn't my daily so downtime not an issue

Picked up an interim set of wheels, while I get my TE37s repaired/powdercoated. 17x7.5 Rays Gram Lights 57Cs. Weight isn't too bad for a cast wheel, @ 16.6lbs. Bought some black Rays Valve Stems (not a fan of the red anodized stems that came with the wheels). These will probably be my dailies. Volks for shows/meets. Traklites for the track. Keeping an eye out for some CE28Ns for the track, also. They're a pound or so lighter than the TE37s.

Re: What did you do to your civic today?
I put my winter tires on today since it's supposed to start snowing this week. I bought LRR tires and alloy rims last spring that were the original spec of the car and identical to the winters (on steelies) I have. After 8 months of driving on them I have not seen any MPG gains vs rolling on winters all summer long.
They are Nokian Entyre and aside from that they are really good tires and have been very pleased with their handling aspects (cornering and in the rain) and also very quiet in terms of road noise. If my primary goal was better MPG I would not look to buy LRR tires in the future.

Yesterday, I changed the manual trans oil, engine oil, air filter, fuel injector cleaner additive.
I looked for the exhaust rattle, nothing was broken or loose, so I tried bending the heat shield where it was contacting the frame a bit,, it tried bending the hangers out a little, still no luck, I think it might be the springs that connect the mid pipe to the muffler. I'll check next time.

Brought it to the $5 car wash. Touchless. Epic fail. As expected, the goddamn air dry machine thingy didn't even fully dry the car. There was a ton of water on the sides. I need to set up my undercarriage cleaning device(giggity) at home and give the Vic a nice hand wash and wax. Probably gonna get some new tires for it too. Slow leak is getting much worse.

Tires came in. 215 45 17 Falken Azenis FK453s. Got them mounted and balanced on my 17x7.5 Rays Gram Light 57Cs. Picked up a long block for my Stage 2/3 1.8L D16Y8 Intake Manifold / Forged Internals / 12.5:1 Compression Project.

Today I tightened up my clunking front sway bar, hopefully it's finally adjusted right, it's been making noise since I installed ES LCA bushings, new ball joints and sway bar links a month or so ago. I was starting to think I botched the ball joint job cause I couldn't get the noise to go away. Today I finally had the chance to disconnect the front links and take it for a ride, no clunks so I put it back together completely on the ground and it seems good now.
Attempted to install my rear trailing arm ES bushings. Ended up calling Honda to order new rear toe adjustment bolts as mine are completely seized to the bushing sleeves. No amount of heat, torquing with a breaker bar or pounding with the sledge would free the two from each other.
Will regroup Wednesday with new bolts and cutting wheel in hand. New tires should arrive Tuesday as well!

Did a Valve Lash Adjustment and got rid of a pesky misfire CEL. Ordered a new K Tuned Race Spec Shifter. Hopefully, it'll be in next week.
