I ordered a used OEM starter for about $60. Because of time restraints and school, I finally got it replaced this past Friday and it works perfect now. The starter isn't sticking to the flywheel when starting now.
Reviews of spare parts for Honda Civic
I would get a Denso or AcDelco reman, no cheap crap since they're a bit of a pain to replace.
I would rather do it once and have it last for 100k+ than to do that repair 2x.
I run Valvoline simply because when I got my Civic people recommended it. Hasn't given me any troubles yet even in my Miata.
I have Falken FK510s on my car (2008 Si on 18" Wheels) and i like them. I've you they have excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions and noise levels are good to. I like them better then the ventus evo 12's that came on my car when i got it. It's a very good tire for the money, I definitely recommend them.
Highly recommend using the Aisin Timing Belt kit (TKH003) as it contains the actual OEM parts in a kit without having to use more expensive Honda parts.
Im on the original Honda W/P on my 03 SI w/ 185k mi.
I've had these on my Civic SI for over a year. They aren't as good in grip as PS4S's but far better than the budget tires I've driven on in the same price range. They seem to fare better under heat than the Extreme Contact Sports, and are predictable.
Compared to the honda ones I don't notice a difference in the cabin air. They fitted fine and saved me about $20 bucks.
Reminds me of my old mans '96 Honda Civic hatch. 6 hours to do the swap (4.5 out and 1.5 with a dinner break in) in his yard using mallets and a fucking chisel to get the old one out.
My Civic Hybrid has Bridgestone Ecopias. Grip is pretty bad, but they are very predictable, in that they kind of start to warn you when they are losing grip, then gradually go from having grip to not having grip. Very smooth transition and very easy to correct any slides. Have noticed they appear to be wearing quite quickly as well.
