Talking Hello

Good Morning, just thought I'd write my fellow Civic owners. I am the owner of a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid. I purchased this vehicle with 15,000 miles and just hit 213,000 miles and still going strong. I try to take care of it the best I can. I've done a few upgrades to it.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Thanks! This car has served its purpose. Honestly I can't complain; this is one of the best car I've ever owned.

Re: Hello


This is one of my regrets. The radio sounds good but the blue tooth on it is not the greatest at all. My wife complains she can't hear me well at all. I'm debating if I should upgrade the radio again and this time add navigation.

Re: Hello



I went to the salvage yard and found these tweeters in the coupe civic. I knew they wouldn't fit mine without some slight modification. Needless to say I wired them up, and installed them. They actually add a great amount of clarity to the music.

This is the Hybrid Battery I'm going to put in. 6.5AMP... seems to have gotten great reviews.

Re: Hello

So I used my Hybrid Grid Charger for a few days and it slow charged the battery. I had an IMA light on and it actually was not on after I reset everything. I am still going to buy a new battery and I plan on buying an old Hybrid Battery and completely refurbish all the cells in the battery.
