    I haven't played Forza in a couple months. Destiny & Madden are where it's at right now.

    Opinions on wheels...

    Silver goes with pretty much anything. If you think it will look good, do it up. I think anything will look good, even better with a slight drop to get rid of the wheel gap. As long as they're smaller than 17's ;)

    Very Bad PCV Valve replaced what to expect.

    1500 is about normal for a cold start. As long as it drops once it reaches operating temp then you're fine. If you see it bouncing or acting quirky, my next thought would be to clean the IACV as that commonly builds up crap over time too. I agree with you though, if you're PCV valve was indeed...

    Need help with dash-lights and SI cluster

    :welcome: My guess is that there's a short in the cluster somewhere, or there's fuse with an amperage too large and is throwing too much power around where it shouldn't be. First, I'd double check your fuses and make sure they're the correct amperage. Also just to clarify, you put your LX...

    good mechanic in Queens, NY

    Look at your mounts and see if they're ripped or torn. If so, you can use 3M Window Weld and solid them up. You won't find much help on here in terms of finding an actual mechanic though. Since you're in Queens, hit up B20/Vtec, lots of city guys there. A majority of that site is based around...

    Very Bad PCV Valve replaced what to expect.

    Although your PCV valve looked bad, it very well may have been functioning properly if you didn't have the symptoms of a faulty one. You might get a little gain in MPG but I don't think you'll see a difference otherwise. You might be able to feel a little bit of a difference if you do a full...

    Car not cranking - 98 Honda Civic DX Hatch

    :welcome: It could actually be the clutch safety switch rubber piece.. Common issue with these things breaking over time. It's a little rubber piece that presses on the clutch safety switch with the clutch depressed. If that stopper is missing, it won't hit the switch and won't allow you to...

    Car bigs down when put into gear has no power

    I've locked your old thread since it never really went anywhere. I didn't want to merge the threads because post order would have been screwy. Is the CEL on? If so jump the service connector and pull the code(s). Does the car act the same both cold and at operating temperature?

    Opinions on wheels...

    I hope you have a set of wheels and not just a pair :lol: In my opinion I don't think those would look bad at all on most cars, but as every car is different, it's hard to tell without seeing your car. Regardless of what others think though, if YOU think it will look good, go for it!

    What's your gamertag? I want to send you the occasional annoying message :lol: Yeah, I love that feature. Game clips automatically recorded are added to your recent activity too, so others can see it. So right now, anyone can see my 105 yard pick-six from last night ;) Only thing I don't like...

    I think O2 sensor is going......

    I don't think it's the o2 sensors. When the car is first started it runs open-loop, meaning that until it reaches operating temp, it's A/F ratio is based solely on the ECU without any feedback from the sensors. If you had a bad o2 sensor, your issue would be reversed; the car would run great...

    Idk, just what he told me. I don't know much about them. Apparently he doesn't either lol. And good luck with your appointment! Yup.

    Should I stick with my 7th generation or should i upgrade?

    :welcome: to ClubCivic! It depends on how much you're willing to spend really. You can sell your car and put that money towards an 8th gen Sedan or something. If you're just looking for a sedan and looks aren't all that important, you can even get a 6th gen sedan, though finding those in great...

    Enjoy your dinner! Yesterday would have been three years for the ex and I. And it just so happens that yesterday is also the day I found out she's engaged to someone else. Similar to you though, I also had dinner with somebody last night too. :thumbs up
