Here's the old FAQ which is now unstickied and locked. All updates will go to this thread. The older one was too cluttered. So this updated and cleaned up version was created by Syndacate.

Didn't you want to put fuses in electrical at least? FYI, so far you're the only person I've heard say they would expect it under specifications. I've asked a few people to see if anyone else might agree.

Go to the first page, on your browser click Edit, Find in this page. Type ________ in the box, hit enter.

If you don't find it, click on the read SEARCH button in the top right.

"A mpg thread" is kind of vague. Do you want people to report what they have with different mods, what they get stock, what is called for stock, etc.?

Anyway though, this is not a thread request thread and these posts will probably just get deleted later.

Yeah, it is much easier to just suck it up and pull the engine, but i know somebody who removed the Pistons while in the car. But its like going around your azzhole to get to your elbow.

Maybe God and Allah have the same meaning giving someone something to believe in?

Hi Syndacate, i would like to ask how to convert my manual window to power window? i got 95 civic hatchback.

I think there is a thread on this already. If not, make your own thread.

Syndacate made THIS thread. He did not make all the threads linked in his post and he did not use his magical thread searching capabilities to find every single thread in his post.

This thread is meerly for listing the more helpful threads in one place.

Btw, there was already a link to your solution in the first post.

I may have missed it but is there a link or maybe it can be added to the list. A list of parts interchangeability between the models/years. for example, an eg civic shock would fit a ek civic... not sure if it does but jsut a possible example for newbies like me would need to know. Modified by VNG704 at 10:52 AM 8/18/2008

This isn't a thread for suggestions like that. The guy who made this thread didn't make all the threads linked in it. He just cataloged them here.

If you want a thread like that, search for it, make it or ask someone else to make one. The most you can do in this thread is PM the OP and ask him to add a certain thread and give him the link.

I'm pretty sure there's already a thread like that though.

This thread is also already linked above.
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1024818

EDIT: Looked up all the info for you three and linked it here instead. It took me about five minutes (I checked all the new posts since I last visited H-T within the ten minutes since I first made this post and the time I'm editing it now).
