my short ram intake instantly transformed into a cold air intake. lolll

I'm guilty too. My sister just contacted the producers of the "Hoarding : Buried Alive" show. I may need an intervention...

Re: What did you do to your civic today?

Thought I had a problem with my windshield washer fluid sprayer. I could hear the motor on it running but nothing was spraying out, and I still had a lot of fluid left. Raised the hood and decided to spray again while it was up and it worked. Turned out the hose was being pinched when the hood was down :P Moved it a bit and it's working great now

Might not be broken... just dirty. There was a diy floating around here somewhere on how to clean it up when it's not working anymore.

Re: What did you do to your civic today?

Left summer washer fluid in my car once duing the winter..... Lets just say I couldnt see the road by the time I got to work. Lucky enough that it warmed up the same day and turned everything to slush so I could get some kind of washer on the window to go home.

Driving in the winter with no fluid/bad wipers is the scariest thing!

Yup. Winters up here are brutal. Last winter I went through about 6-7 jugs of fluid. Ridiculous.

Really? I heard the rear was one of the least useful because of how close it is to the wheel base...

Re: What did you do to your civic today?

Just installed my Alpine iDA X100 head unit The sound difference is amazing, even with stock speakers! AND my Rear right speaker is blown, and it still sounds good! Currently loading music onto my USB since the HU doesn't take CD's. When that's done, I'll run out and snap a pic of it.

Wanted to do a before and after video to compare sound, but my camera's battery was dead

Nothing for like the 3rd weekend straight. This is becoming kinda depressing. I haven't driven anywhere on the weekend in almost a month. Lol. On the plus side, I still have gas!

Re: What did you do to your civic today?

Nice head unit.. look strikingly familiar
just one question: red or blue? lol


as for me, I'm in the process of doing a brake pad/rotor change, oil change, and just did a mechanical O2 sensor install. I'm letting those stupid screws on the rotor soak in WD40 and grabbing my drill bits just in case I get fed up with them

Currently Blue, but waiting till night to see which I like better. The red would go with the dash lights since the coupes are red, but the blue is nice and bright.
