Re: What did you do to your civic today?
rotated tires left-right (starting to cup and feather... design flaws...). waiting for new disks (after 107k miles...) - they are starting to finally bend and vibrate...
seems i need also tie rod and ball joint... got my ball joint removal kit yesterday in the harbor freight.
next week, also running across scrap yards for a rear bumper (cracked in the side by backing in a snow bank in canada...)

Had a complete noob moment when I realized I forgot to lube the front spring seat bearings on my new coilovers. Got that done tonight. No wonder they've been binding so much 
Learning things the hard way is the usually best way.
Anyways, I haven't driven since I did this, so there's a chance that there still might be some more twangy binding noises, if that's the case, are there any other neat tricks to prevent that? ...besides not having MacPherson struts, lol

well ya see what happened to my civic today, is that my front bumper cover came off. I was driving and obeying all speed limits like im suppose to do, and then i heard a draging sound. So i thought it was a bottle or something. (if your car is lowered like mine, you know that things get stuck quite easily) so i started weaving and the noise didnt shake loose. i pulled over to find my left side of the bumper cover hanging and almost under the tire. I have been wanting a new front bumper cover so this is a good thing because driving without a bumper cover my civic feels naked and I need to cloth her before to many people see the goods.

Sort of like motor and engine are interchangeable, but motor is in truth an incorrect term. I'm bored, so had to say that..
