Curious about the same thing. Would like some work done some time down the road.

Those who are in the SF Bay Area, I am curious if you have a go-to tire shop you are comfortable with. I am looking for a recommended tire shop to replace tire from sidewall damage and get an alignment. Many Thanks.

Shocks/struts can fail at any time for any reason (worn/pothole damage/shock cartridge internally blown) and not always visually identifiable at first glance. I would try to have them inspect more carefully. It is possible the top of the shock shaft not bolted to the shock mount tight enough...

Easy-out or any type of screw extractor will do

Steering wheel slightly off-center is not entirely unusual, and does not always mean alignment is off. Your pictures does not appear to be a problem. Some roads have more road crown than the others (center of the road will always be slightly higher than the sides), so water can have slightly...

In the US, if your brand-new car has a major defect, and you gave the dealer a fair chance or fair amount of downtime attempting to fix the problem, yet it is still unresolved, the car is considered a lemon. You either get a refund or have the car replaced. However, the clause(s) of the Lemon...

Drilling the fuel line sounds very strange. Can someone enlighten me the reason behind it instead of getting an actual one that works?

You may be better off buying a hatch from a wrecked hatchback. Or find a wrecked hatchback and swap it. That way there is no need to cover the wing mount holes.

This is not the OEM option FL5 CF Wing

Congrats on your FL5 I forgot on top of my head, but you can definitely change one of the settings in LogR to your body color.

Pros: Interior is elegant and roomy Hill Hold Assist can be turned on/off anytime Front seats are the best compared to cars of its class (GR Corolla/Elantra N/Golf R) Cons: Honda should just go with a more common Big Brake kit rotor size (355mm instead of the OE 350mm) Proximity Lock/Unlock...

Unfortunately, no. This is not because the car is a manual, but the way the Push Button Start operate and how the car is wired. In order for the infotainment to keep running after you press the Engine Start Button to turn the car off, the car must be designed in such fashion.

I am surprised that hole managed to cut the sidewall under parking lot speeds.

I don't think one would care about Distance-to-Empty (DTE) calculation at that point. Gas mileage calculation can be based on fuel flow rate, which may not be affected. Race version of FL5 do have fuel cell of a much larger capacity as the stock gas tank is way too small.

Hate to break the news to you, but there is no better-bang-for-the-buck options for the front 4-piston Brembo caliper. You'll be fine with spirited driving. To give you a rough idea, replacement parts (pads, rotors) are similar to aftermarket 4-piston Big Brake kits out there.

I used a torque wrench, tighten to 6.5 lb-ft.

You are spot on. Not all manual transmission has synchronizer on reverse gear. If there is no synchro on reverse (sometimes it's just a reverse idler gear) and just go in there whenever, you can get a crunch when things don't line up. By going into first (or any gear as far away as possible)...

The gas tank for the 2.0/1.5T/K20C1 should all be the same. If this is an actual widespread problem, then there will be a recall for all 11th Gen Civic after enough people complained about it. An excerpt from the famous early 5th Gen Rav4 Hybrid Gas Tank Recall should give you some insight on...

The Distance to Empty (DTE) displayed is calculated by the ECU through a combination of things (fuel level, fuel flow rate, load, etc), depending on the car. The sampling rate for that data can also play a role. How you are actually driving can result in DTE and gas mileage reading more or less...
