Ha thanks, that's actually not a bad idea. Do you call them to make appointment first?

The alignment was ok for mine but few weeks later there were knocking sounds when going over speed bumps, turned out they didn’t tighten a nut enough so I had to bring it back in for half a day. Now everything seems fine, fingers crossed

The fact that this has been a recurring theme since 2016 is enough evidence that HM don't really care about customers. If they do then they would've made slight revisions to the manufacturing process or design to fix this for say model year 2018 or 2019

Anyone disconnect batt due to 2 weeks stay at home? Or use remote start to make the car run 10 mins and auto shut off?

After a couple pages still nobody have direct link for buying the 2-layer wrap?

Nice bro, mind sharing where you bought the 2 layers and how much? Thanks in advance

Edit: Obviously something wrong with my eyes... link is in post does the link come with the 2 covers you showed? Looks like Civic should be 3L and not 3M?

Ohh, that's actually quite smart. But according to product page, Civic should be 3L and not 3M sized? Weird that it fits your car fine

Haha makes sense bro thanks for your input.

Does anyone know if I can warm up car using remote start and that's enough to keep battery alive? Or need to actually drive out a couple rounds around the neighborhood?

Guys, few days ago when I did hard acceleration (pedal to the floor) suddenly got tiak tiak tiak sound and I immediately lifted the pedal. After that everything like went back to normal. What could that sound be?

Have you heard that sound before? Is that normal?

For the fastest most violent launch you’ll want option B. Why? The other options don’t get the engine revving and ready to launch. Brake hold is basically like accelerating from standstill. If you partial accelerate it doesn’t rev the engine and doesn’t build boost.

There’s no launch control menu, even the CTR doesn’t have dedicated launch control

Did anyone install any aftermarket/OEM modules to enable auto wing mirror folding upon locking the car? It's pretty annoying having to fold and unfold manually myself.

The module I’m referring to is apparently plug and play, it hooks into the OBD and will auto fold when you lock and unlock, no extra motors I think.

I want it to auto fold because at condo and also at work the parking spaces are quite tight so I need to fold every time just to be able to get out, hence my question. Shame that pre-FL doesn’t have this feature..

Not sure, never heard about that before, but my understanding is that Honda consciously omitted the auto-fold module for pre-FL as a cost-saving measure. So by right we should be able to just slot in that same module, though I'm not sure if the aftermarket ones are truly OEM or completely third-party. If it's OEM and is what Honda added to the FL models then it should just work out of the box without fear of causing any weird interferences.

I'm trying to ask if anyone here has experience with these aftermarket modules, and if they cause any weird issues or not.

Correct

I've been folding and unfolding manually since I got my car in 2018, so far so good. Because of my circumstance (tight parking space in condo and workplace) I'd rather pay eventually for the motor if it does get jammed up than risk getting my whole mirror knocked off

Anyone experienced engine click click click 3 times sound when hard accelerating? I noticed the turbo boost gauge was almost full then I heard these 3 clicking sounds, followed by engine losing power. I let off the accelerator pedal then all seemed to be normal again after that. This has happened twice so far.

The circumstances you described match my own experience as well. The first time this happened was when I was trying to overtake, boost built up then somehow felt like the engine couldn’t sustain/“accept” the extra power afforded by the turbo. The second time I had a full car of 5 people and going uphill, and I pressed the accelerator a bit more than usual to go up the incline.

It was very scary for sure. From casual Googling this might be LSPI (low speed pre-ignition) which is a phenomenon affecting modern turbocharged small capacity (2.0L and lower) cars. The only way to really alleviate it is to make sure we use good engine oil (I think this shouldn’t be an issue for our case since most of us bring to HM SC to service), and also it’s not recommended to floor the car at low RPMs.

I wonder if anyone else had experienced this before aside from us both, and if HM is aware of this. If it’s something they could replace or fix, I would rather they do it before my warranty ends in 2023

Makes sense. I'll try using S more often, start pumping 97 for a couple tanks and see how it goes.
