Told myself I would never join another forum. Hey new civic owner here!
These forums consume me but I now have more free time than I know what to do with and more questions than answers. Just bought this civic and I'm now realizing why they are so popular
i love my little car. And I cant wait to ask u all questions until ur sick of me. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! Ya she's a beauty and a beast. Got a nice kicker in her and pioneer mids. New hoses new belts some new gaskets new tires transmission shifts beautifully only thing I'm gonna have to really do is some rewiring. Missing a couple electronic things in my door auto window feature and my mirror doesn't work. Nothing major. Srs light stays on. And interior is clean too. She got a couple dents from the owner before but looks amazing for the most part. I live next to a junkyard and I'll be popping in there for little things. Already found some smashed accords with beautiful engines but just gonna brainstorm what to do first. Any suggestions to start? I'm thinking sri some led dome bulbs and a strip of leds at the feet. Maybe the trunk. I love those LEDs. She has new headlights too so I'm happy with those my lights are pretty solid but my Bright's seem to aim high.

Thanks for the welcome! She's got a nice lil kicker in her (well huge kicker) new hankook tires new headlights new battery, I'm probably gonna replace the alternator she does this weird flickering lights thing sometimes. New window regulator I'm gonna try some upholstering shouldn't be toooo too too hard... I'm thinking sri I live by a junkyard so maybe a need door if I can find one the last owner left a few dents in her. Trunk leaks a bit I think it's cause of a small ding by brake light. And I definitely want some led dome lights from Santa. Lol anything I should look into prior to these? Brakes work! Transmission feels great no leaks anywhere I put a new gasket in and replaced some valve cover bolts. Belts and hoses are brand new... Pretty much clean all around

wouldn't bother with the sri, just looks shiny and makes noise. but to each their own
grab an oem alternator from the junkyard, do not buy an aftermarket one

In any case, welcome to the forum!
I hear you about spending hella time on a forum. I tried to retire from this forum, but it sucked me back in and they put an admin badge on my ***.
Hahaha I see something similar happening to me. I was all over forums for my previous cars. Was never able to keep em... One repo one accident.. I blame my young self... But anyway I am willing to put that all behind me for this car... I love it and see nothing but Hondas in my future took me a lil while to join but if I'm gonna be in I'm gonna be all the way in and

Yeah they breath a little better with an intake which is why it makes more noise. Just don't expect any power out of it.
What are you trying to delete? You have 4 mods here lol
I was just trying to delete my double post up there.. No biggie... Should I tint? Also how can I get my auto power window to roll down on its own .Button is not working its a 99 new regulator again not a big deal but if I can get it I would love to .I checked manual wiring looks a bit shotty... Ripped open the under dash (and by ripped I mean delicately tugged on for a few min) and someone used speaker wire to wire up the alarm system in it🤮 Im pretty sure they did some other 🤮 wiring cause some things didn't match up with the manual.. Gonna test the alarm today should be easy fix if it still works.

Yes tint is a great option especially if you are on the sunny southwest coast. Does great for keeping the interior cool. I would test the button first but it could be the regulator. Honda's do not have the best window regulators.
