Ugh, not another new member who will ask never-ending meaningless questions which would otherwise be easily answered through use of the "search" feature. . .
So, yes, I'm new here and I'm reading all of your internet contents.
I apologize in advance if I do ask something that has been asked before; I do try and search out answers; but, even then, things can get missed.
Anyhow, a few days ago, I purchased my first Civic, a black 2012 Civic Si sedan; although, this is my 5th Honda purchase (4th if you exclude my lawn mower). Overall, the Civic is probably an 8 out of 10. Mechanically, it seems solid thus far and the interior is in good shape; however, cosmetically, there are some blemishes that will need to be addressed at some point. I don't have plans to do anything crazy to it; just to use it as a daily while I rebuild my other car. I joined the forum as a means to find solutions to any problems that may arise, maybe buy/sell parts as needed, and general car community involvement.
A little about me; I am active duty military and have been for quite a long time, I am from FL but currently live in VA. I have been a mechanic since I was a kid, learned by working in my dad's shop through middle school and high school. I do roughly 99% of my own work and don't mind helping others out when I can. I've owned both domestic and import cars over the years but keep finding my way back to Honda as I like reliability and simplicity. Here is a list of cars I've owned over the years (not all that exhaustive of a list, I tend to keep my vehicles for awhile; just posting these for talking points more than anything):
*List is in chronological build order, not in purchase order*
-1977 Ford F-100 4x4 (sold)
-1978 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau (traded-in)
-1994 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo (constant project)
-1994 Toyota Tercel (sold)
-1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible (sold)
-2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (traded-in)
-2007 Honda CBR600RR (traded-in)
-2009 Honda CBR1000RRA (testing speed limits regularly)
-2012 Honda Civic Si Sedan (new daily)
-2016 Honda Pilot Touring AWD (grocery getter)
And....that is about it. Anyhow, thanks for having me; and, I assure you, I am not a robot. I tried to get into another 9th Gen Civic forum; but, they keep rejecting my application for some reason....perhaps my username is a little too questionable (I've had it for such a long time and use it on multiple forums that I don't want to come up with a new one).

even though it said it was compatible when I bought it 
). Because of the expense of the Stealth and the future plan for the Civic, I don't have any intent of building/racing it. I might do some additional tweaks over the next few years but I doubt it would be much.
