This looks fine but I would recommend oem valve cover gasket, everytime I use anything else they go leaking. If none of that work has been done before I highly recommend getting them done. If you skip on plugs and valve adjustment you could potentially wear out the cam or burn the valves and it’ll be way more expensive to deal with later, and the plugs don’t like to live in there much beyond the 90k service life, usually cooked before that too. If they sit too long the zinc coating will fail and you’ll have galvanic corrosion in the threads and seize the plugs in. Then you’ll have to repair the head, which gets expensive. The coolant probably should have been replaced at 70k, not as dire but you guys are almost double that now. Coolant lubes the pump, if it gets too old you get more wear on that and it starts to leak prematurely. Those aren’t too big of a deal to replace, but more cost earlier than needed if it goes bad. Also corrosion protection breaks down in old fluid. If you skip those now, try to do it soon. Those are the only real big services you have to worry about every 100k miles, the rest is easy. Trans fluid should be drain and fills every 30k miles, idc what Honda or anyone recommends

Akebono are the best brakes a japanese car could get. I replaced my Civic brakes and rotors myself. Cost was around 200$ in parts from RockAuto. If it’s just one axle, I would consider ordering the parts yourself and doing to job on all tires for less. Plenty of YT videos out there. You could buy or borrow parts and do it for less. *I’m a 45 yo woman for reference.
If you want something good get raybestos have them in my 8th gen accord and they are above oem.
Installed LHT S2000 Brake Package which are StopTech slotted rotors, Hawk 5.0 front pads, organic rear pads, Goodridge braided stainless steel brake lines, bleed, and flush brake system.
Seems like a loose ground, my s13 did this when the grounds randomly came loose. That said my s13 cluster is so damn slow to react so I run an aftermarket gauge. I have a koyo rad which came with a slot for an aftermarket sensor.
Also i would hope it's not the case, however you mentioned this after an alternator change. I had a 96 civic with a turbo setup and I had an alternator with a failed voltage regulator, all of my aftermarket gauges and temp gauge was acting like this. I would check the volts from the alternator if this is the case, it also ballooned the hell out of my battery..
I've done about 4000 miles on it this year and it's really grown on me. It's comfortable enough, the brakes are really good, the abs isn't overly intrusive. The handling is decent, the geometry is definitely more about stability than agility.
Besides routine maintenance I've only had to replace the starter, valve cover gasket and struts.
And the super small battery…
My Amaze 2nd gen had same issue , MRF ZVTV was tyre , go to MRF tyres and they will get it changed under warranty
Happened to my MRF tyres too! A bubble on the sidewall. Had to get the tyres replaced.
