UPDATE ON MY CIVIC
Well I got my car serviced at Honda.....Actually had two appointments and I have a third coming up soon....I still have more things that need to be fixed until I will be happy. This is the last time I buy a first year car...
Two Weeks Ago I got done at honda:
1.OIL CHANGE
2.I HAD JUST TOOK OFF MY XENON FRONT BUMPER AND SOME THINGS WERENT BOLTED UP SO THE DEALER TIGHTENED EVERYTHING UP
3.CLUTCH SQUEEK....THEY FIXED IT AND IT DOESNT SQUEEK ANYMORE
4.ENGINE SHAKES AT IDLE.....WELL THEY CLEANED OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS...BUT GUESS WHAT...IT STILL SHAKES. I THINK ITS THE O2 SENSOR BECAUSE ON MY WAY HOME..THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK...SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY LIGHT CAUSED BY THE O2 SENSOR...BUT THEY CANT FIX IT UNLESS IT FAILS...THAT IS STUPID.
Today my car was at Honda for:
1.SEAT BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT...SINCE IT ROCKED WHEN I SHIFTED GEARS.....SEAT IS TIGHT NOW.
Ordered for my car:
FRONT STRUTS...THANK GOD THEY ARE COVERED BY WARRANTY.....WHICH I THOUGHT WAS STRANGE BUT I WONT COMPLAIN. THE GUY AT THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD ALOT OF CIVIC'S WITH THE SAME BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION...AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE STRUTS ARE LEAKING. SO I ORDERED THE STRUTS AND GUESS WHAT...THEY ARE BACK ORDERED.....
Still need to be fixed:
1. ALIGNMENT
2. RUBBING NOISE IN TRUNK
3. LEAKY RUBBER STRIP ON DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR OF CAR....RIGHT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND ROOF OF CAR....WHEN IT RAINS OUTSID, IT RAINS INSIDE LOL....
4. TRANSMISSION....DOESNT GO INTO GEAR OR IT POPS OUT OF GEAR....VERY ANNOYING.
I also took of the XENON front, and my rims and tires....I sold all my aftermarket parts.....So the pics in my sig are not what my car looks like now. I was planning on selling in the future....but now I am going to keep it and pay the rest of the loan off.....
Oh and I got new plates.....no more BUDSVTEC it now says KAFFIENE...I dont know if I like it or not.....

I've had the clutch greased and tightened 4 times, had the seat bushings replaced, and mine's going in next friday for the suspension noises.... and mine is an 02. So it's everyone, not just you. Hell, if my shocks are screwed.... maybe they'll subtract whatever the stock shocks cost from the price of konis or coilovers and just put those in! But I doubt it.

Rep Power: 396 My car is still clean...........Very clean. I am a car detailer. So it doesnt matter what it used to look like...with the bumper and the rims and all the other good stuff.....You can still eat off any part of the car if you really want to...I am a fanatic when it comes to keeping my car clean.....Still got my system though.....Thats all I really care about....
