My car survivies!!!
My car survives after 2000+ miles driving from Chicago to California!
But it seems like it's like in pieces now.. The door reflectors were loose so I took them out on the road, the full nose mask I bought couldn't fully fit the bumper couple hours before I start driving from Chicago, so the side walls are scratched by the clips and buckles now... There's also noise coming from like the brake when the AC is on... one of the fog lights is smashed but still workable.. seems so many problems.. need some time to recover the car (especially thinking about doing a repaint of the entire car)...
well, anyway, driving the civic in CA is going to be fun!

Rep Power: 0 I am not sure what you mean by fun but its interesting at that. Did you move? That long of a trip is never easy in any thing I once knew a guy who rode from montreal(sp) to here in sacramento on a gsxr 600.
mine makes a noise when the ac is on down by the breaks. Guess what mine is. Crankshaft bearing. If you dont have an oil pressure gauge i reccomend you get one, or have honda test your oil pressure before you hurt the crankshaft.

guess you guys should take better care of your car..

That is a long haul. In May I drove from Toronto to Fort Meyers and back. A little over 5000kms. I did a fluid change before I left and after I got back. Unfortuntely my front bumper cover looks grey compared to the rest of my NHB coupe. How did you tires hold up?
