^Im thinking maybe if he has a system it will draw more power when its turned up so it makes the alternator work harder

yeah my gauge is also retarded it took 5 minutes to reach half tank mark after i pumped gas. then it went back down to a quarter tank after i turned the car off then back on so basically its useless.

Cleaned out the interior and trunk last night love having a spiffy clean ride inside. Exterior needs to be done soon as well.

My gauge is retarded as in reading the actual gas inside. Not the filling up part
My needle jumps back to full within 20 or so seconds.

Its that,
60 Miles - Slightly touching full bar
90 Miles - 1 tiny bar under full bar
150 Miles - Quarter tank gone
200 Miles - At half tank
250 Miles - Quarter tank left
280 Miles - Light turns on

But then again, I realize, I get my best MPG from full to half tank.
So now, I fill up whenever I pass by costco at half'ish tank

My car will be in the garage....although I'm afraid of what may happen if the power goes out and I can't get my car out for work or something. Wait, I totally have the perfect excuse now!

Went to go leave for work and she wouldn't start :-/. Topped off the battery, checked connections and fuses, only for her not to start even with a jump off. Cranks but wont start, the story of my life lol. Not finished for the day though.

She's so beautiful when she's wet...



Oh, ahem, Did I say that out loud?
Gave her a bath, and filled her shoes.
Was 28 Psi all around, filled her back up to 35

new trans fluid dipstick. the old one failed again as i seem to be going thru these things every 6 months. better than having trans fluid spill out tho...

 
Rep Power: 291

Are you checking your dipstick too often?
Could be the oil getting on the seal
I pulled mine out a couple times, and it seemed to lose it's grip

Wiped down the rubber seal, and it stuck in like new again

180k kms still original MTF, original clutch .. how long will she go? Let's find out Still shifts well, clutch is in good shape... Only shifts rough when cold. I'm going to see if the MTF + tranny last the life of the car.

Didn't really like the idea of driving around with an unpainted front lip so I finally got it painted nhbp.

im back from the dead ive had no power at my house since hurricane irene 6 days ago it doesn't seem long but you try going 1 day without tv,internet,lights or hot water but anyway i finally removed the civic emblem from my trunk lid.

 
Rep Power: 812

removed both wiper arms today. was gonna buy new ones to replace the peeling old ones, but it looks so much cleaner without any wipers that i left them off. its been about a year since i last used em and the view from inside the car is much nicer maybe they will go back for winter lol.

 
Rep Power: 191

i detailed the interior, refilled my windsheild washer fluid with rain-x liquid, and prepped for tomorrow's list of washing, claybar, and waxing. cant wait!

and speaking of wipers.. does anyone use or have the rain-x wipers? i was lookin at em today, but wasnt sure if they were any good. mine are crap and i need new ones soon.

 
Rep Power: 191

dang! well im glad your ok im sure that was rough..

how do you like ur car without the emblem?

 
Rep Power: 199

Something tells me that a cop can probably give you a ticket for that. Safety hazard. I don't know the laws in your area though.

I have them and I love em! The rain-x wipes that come with them are sick too! I took my car to get detailed once and they put on some other repellent, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as the rain-x ones.

 
Rep Power: 191

i havent ever used the actual wipes. i use that liquid spray washer fluid that i was talkin about, but that's it. that stuff works well too. ill see if i can find the ones that come with the wipes. thanks for the info

have they lasted you a while?

 
Rep Power: 291

I have the RainX wipers, the low end $8 you see at walmart are garbage.
The RainX latitudes are boss tho

...but they do cost $20 a peice

 
Rep Power: 199

The Rain-X Horizons is what I got. They come with wipes to do your windshield. Follow the instructions when applying them for the best result.

I got them in the winter time when I bought the car. They lasted me a month but one day there was a heavy snowfall. They froze and had like 8 inches of snow sitting on top for like 2 days before I wiped the snow off but it was too late, they had bent a bit and got didn't perform as well. However, they had a one year warranty and I got new ones and those have lasted me with no problems so far! Just remember in the winter to stick your wiper blades up if you hear it's gonna snow lol

After some research, I think the Horizons are called the "repels" in America.

i prefer the bosch micro edge, ive tried over 10 other brands before (see old review here somewhere) and the micro edges are by far the best. its a regular conventional design with graphite coated blade. smoothest wipe and longest lasting with no jitters or streaking.

thanks for the heads up. i know removing the wiper arms is illegal, but i doubt anyone would notice and we have had maybe two sprinkle rain storms since june so i have a good excuse. we get maybe 15 mins of rain a month if that. even winters here are not terrible. i just carry a rag in my car to wipe the window off after driving when salt and junk gets on it. ive been without washer fluid over a year and never missed it. have a feeling the wipers will not be missed either but it literally takes a minute to throw em on if i think the weather is bad.
