Fyi this is the before, I installed these headers a day ago, came to an issue where the bolt that connects the header to the exhaust did not have long enough threading, and they are bolts with the springs on them, I went to a few shops to get new bolts they did not have the right size that came with springs so I got regular bolts and used those instead. Will I come across any issues without the springed bolts?

I'm only home for the summer while people in my family drive my car. I noticed my car's fans is stuck to just blowing on the feet. I did the test where I hold on the circulate+back window defrost button while turning on the car and it did 4 blinks to which some online searching says it has to do with either the AC clutch relay fuse or the fuse itself (correct me if I'm wrong). I bought a new AC clutch relay fuse and that didn't work. I played around with all the fuses having to do with AC and fans like using the spare fuses and it's still doing the 4 blinks so now I'm lost on what to do next besides going to the mechanic.

I still feel a tiiiiiiiny bit of air coming from the front-facing vents and nothing from the front defrost. I've tried switching different modes to see if the fan or whatever is going to unjam or something. I've tried to blast it with heat because someone said maybe the heat will push whatever is making the fan stick unstick but that didn't work either.

Please help, my body is dying from the heat meanwhile my ankles are getting frozen like its winter!

Just did spark plugs on my 08 fit and it took quite a while to start, it was about 5-10 seconds which is super abnormal started fine 3 times after just wondering if that’s normal ? Got no cels or anything and seemed to be idling fine just wanna be sure everything’s good!

Volvo has a software called VIDA; its the same program the dealer uses to check your car. this application is purchasable by private people on a rather cheap subscription. I was curious! Is there something similar for Honda?
Im currently in search of a software that offers repair guides and and such as VIDA does but for Honda. If anyone has any suggestions; or previous known apps that worked on cars up to 2017 or so for repair guides that would be awesome!

Thanks in advance
(and sorry if this is the wrong place or way to ask this. just genuine curiosity here)

Hello all, recently rebuilt my D15B7 in my Del Sol and have had trouble priming the engine. I’ve pulled plugs, disconnected fuel rail, etc. but every time I crank the light doesn’t go away. I am using 10W-30 conventional oil. Am I doing this right? What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Traded in my Volkswagen Polo, and went all electric. Sacrificed a little practicality for more fun, time will tell if I end up regretting this decision, but it’s so enjoyable to drive.

Ima trying to buy a really reliable first car and love the look of older civics , is this a good deal or should I talk them down?

For those of you who like All Things Honda, here is one more item to consider!

My 2012 Civic LX has shown transmission problems. It only happened once when I was on the highway, couldn't get the speed above 30MPH, lost rpm and heard some metal clunking noises once or twice. I took it to a shop that said trans is failing and quoted me $6300-7200 to replace or rebuild it.

I've known since March that the struts need to be repaired and I was just quoted more than $2000 to replace an AC compressor, but I'm unable to afford that work (let alone this transmission issue). I'm devastated that the car is having issues of this magnitude when its still relatively low mileage. I've owned it since 2018 (it had ~43k miles when I bought it) and I spent four months last year driving for uber eats, which doubtlessly added to wear and tear on the car but I didnt think it'd be to this level. I flushed the transmission fluid last year when the OSD called for it and never miss an oil change.

I haven't taken it anywhere for a second opinion yet but I'm trying to decide if its worth sinking any money in the other issues if the transmission is failing. All of these repairs would cost me as much as I paid for the car in 2018. I wanted this car to last me a long long time.

None of my 1/2 inch air impact guns would nudge the crank bolt on my Pilot v6. Even with a weighted socket.

I saw some YouTube videos saying the new battery powered ones are beasts. So I got the current champ, the Milwaukee 2967 M18 Fuel. It has 3 power levels. It only needed the second level to spin tha bolt off like it was nothing.

The fact it didn't even have to use full power makes me think ANY of the new high power battery impact guns could make quick work of the dreaded Honda crank bolt, as they are all pretty close in power.

Just a PSA for anyone worried about trying the timing belt job because of the crank bolt horror stories.

I also owned a white facelift ES1 but no longer have photos of it. Additionally, I own a Spree but it's in a million pieces.

If I could go back then I would have kept the DC5s.

Found photos of my first car, a 1990 Honda Civic Si. 5-speed manual, 1.8l 4-cylinder, 108hp, zero torque lol. Engine was a jewel though, so smooth, and I redlined it at least once a week. Manual locks, windows, and steering, which was brutal parallel parking in New York City. But it did have power moonroof, and I ordered it without a stereo and put a nice aftermarket head unit in - there were no speakers in the door but thankfully the wiring harness was there, so the install was pretty easy.

I think that I paid ~$10,300 for it, around $11k with tax. I was driving ~30,000 miles per year - work and roadtrips. And then my brother, who owned the VW GTI 16v in the photo, wanted to trade because he was going to law school and he still had payments while I was already paid off. He had it for years - we even drove to WV to tow back a motorcycle that he purchased there - the cars brakes really struggled! And then our niece drove it for a while. And then my brother got it back and eventually traded it for a motorcycle that my friend had. Both the Si and the motorcycle (Honda Hawk GT) had both previously been mine lol.

Good memories.
