Hi everybody
 

Hello everyone! I have a 98 Honda Civic with 120K miles that I'm looking to keep in good running condition. So I just thought I'd join this forum and look around for some self-maintenance tips and procedures. I'm looking to do a bunch of phase 0 stuff first, since I've been slacking on that, and then pick up some performance guidance. Right now I have a 2.25" catback, and and AEM cold air intake. Take care and I look forward to becoming a part of this community!

RE: Hi everybody
 

hello there, I'm pretty new too. How do you like your cold air intake? My friend was telling me not to get one ... something about getting a "fenderwall intake" instead, i think. He was probably just pulling my leg or something. Anyone know anything of a "fenderwall intake"?

And also we Thank You for joining up with us also..I would think that a fenderwell intake would suck up a lot of water on a rainy or snowy day.....Not a Good Idea! :(

This is a better idea!

Aloha Panamakid, welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay. Self Maintenance, first get your self a service or maintenance manual, it will help you a lot, Then you can change your own oil, filter, airfilter service, trans service, etc. May need to purchase some jacks and stands to crawl under your civic. Mobil 2 oil is good to use, You can pick up at most auto parts house or wallmart.

Thanks, Scorpio7.

And acmech52: I just began working at walmart in the last couple weeks! :-) Hooray for discount (10% on all non-food and non-clearance items)! I don't know how that's relevant to the forum, but whatever. For the record, I actually think wal-mart is a really good place to work as a teenager. The only problem is they only allow minors to work 4 hours a day, 5 days a week ... yes, even during the summer. But hey, I will have more time to work on my new car and hang out with friends, right? :-)

Hey be proud you got a job, discount, you can buy some car parts, you can work long enough to be promoted to full time or a manager. I have a few friends who started as stock clerks, to cashier to floor mgrs. They like the work hours and benefits. Again its a job and you get paid (Kala) in hawaiian It will get you use to taking orders from others and you will learn self decipline. Keep a good work profile, you will get a good reference if you go to a better job.
