there is ways to do it before it gets bad with sanding and clear coating again but it’s been years since this video and it’s way worse now! my plan is to just repaint it eventually with better clear coat
Never turn a car on while on incline like that on Jack stands. Main reason the oil pump has to work harder to circulate the oil. Try a flat surface always.
I want to personally thank you! I was stressed for days, replaced my starter and was planning to replace my main relay, found this video and the car started right up!!!!
Watched the spacers fender rolling and this vid cause I’m doing the same stuff myself next week, very informative thank you for pushing the 9th gen platform🤞🏼🫡
Loved the bro daps when it started. This might be my issue as well, though I'm maybe too fat and having trouble fitting my hand up there to grab the sensor plug.
my 2013 civic si sedan feels unstable at high speeds. wanting to go with some coilovers to hopefully help the handling. is it worth it or will i not notice much of a difference? thanks!
I put one on my dodge ram bed cover this morning. It looks decent for a $40 Auto Zone piece lol. I used a wide strip of 3M tape down the middle because after first trying it with those narrow strips that came on it, it was evident right away that that wasn't going to hold it on at all. The wide piece of 3M seems to have it much more secure now. It was a little tougher for me to get it lined up just right by myself, (but I am old lol) having an extra person to help might be a good idea. I will do a video of it to show how it looks on my truck. I have been using 3M for years and so far, it's always worked well so we shall see. 🤷♂
i bought a 96 lx recently and it turned on fine no problems one day i tried starting it it didnt want to at all not even lights when i the turned the key the next day i tried turning it on again and i heard something trying to start or some noise on the passenger side near the glove area and not the car doesn’t want to start tried jumping it and still no lights or anything the emergencys turned on but nothing else
interesting, i do know that the ‘main relay’ is where you described that noise. maybe try looking into that and see if that’s the possible problem, good luck!
You GUYS.. (and of course, your dad), absolutely ROCKED my world... I'm a sculptor of found objects and love to find ways and hacks to make things work... Ya'll just saved me about $175... IOU, big time... Celino Dimitroff (SoMa art media Hub) my art supply store in Gainesville, Fla... You find your way here and drinks are on me!!!! Thanks again, friends
Good day, thank you for the video, I am interested in purchasing a 2014 civic but a four-door SI version and I would like to know if it is as unstable in the back as the two-door? Or is the 4-door version more balanced in weight? Thanks for clearing
i do believe the sedan is a tad more balanced. I really only experienced it when i was pushing the car hard through tight turns. I got coilovers and the car feels like it’s on rails now!
This car is not unstable at all I've literally made a right turn at 50mph, you're not swinging the ass out on the car unless it's raining and your going 45mph and you do a fireman's turn with the steering wheel, this car will take the Twisties no problem stock suspension. That said it does have a tad bit of body roll for a tiny car which some people hate and mistake for instability, easily fixed with aftermarket rear sway bar and a Saturday morning.
@@paraxicgaming5743 well sure, tires make a big difference as well! not sure what was on it originally. once i got coilovers and rear camber arms it seems impossible to swing the rear out at all now haha, there is a fine line when it’s stock
I have a 13 coupe too, same symptoms, only happened at high altitudes so I thought it was the MAP sensor, cleaned the MAF as well, let’s see how long the check engine light stays off this time.
I feel the same way about the suspension!!! I had to get some coil overs because it was so bouncy. I also have another issue when I’m at a high rpm and just let off the peddle it makes a weird sputtering sound. No idea what it is. Some one I spoke to said it’s just the sound the trans makes but I don’t know 🫠. I’ve had the car for 3 years but no issues just that sound. If it is the transmission I’m probably just gunna replace it with a dc5 type s transmission
oh yeah, this car is amazing with some tighter suspension! i haven’t heard or experienced that sputter, interesting.. Man the gear ratios in this car are too fun to swap out!
i don’t know, synchros should only be grinding on shifts. i actually recently heard something about that high rpm sound, they were saying it’s a clutch/throw out bearing issue. message me on instagram @alden_build and we can chat deeper about it maybe look into that and see if it’s similar
I’m so impressed and happy you still have her!! I’m looking at a WHITE 2013 Si tomorrow and I’m thrilled. A couple years ago I had a 2014 Acura ILX, which is basically the same engine and transmission.
@@AldenBuild an old rick I learnt, when bolts are that tight, just tighten a touch more. Once that 'seal' is broken, it's easier to undo. I use a 1/2" long handle 'crack' bar, breaker bar. Just apply constant force to budge the bolt The only other thing I do, is 1/2 fill the new filter with new oil. Priming it so to speak I was looking for a good video for this exact Honda, I really liked your effort Great job.
Thank you. Thank you for posting this video. I spent two hours just trying to figure out how to attach the Skunk 2 camber arms. I was devastated. This has brought my hopes up. Thank you. We need more people like you in this world🙏
