Re: steering wheel civic 98 ex leather restoration (pictures)

This looks great! I'm thinking about doing that because I don't really like having a tacky steering wheel cover. How much did this cost?

Re: Monroe Quick Strut vs. KYB Strut Plus or any other suggestions?

Yeah, I was going to say... It doesn't seem plausible that a massive factory would buy from Autozone. They would buy directly from the manufacturer and not have to go through the middle man.

Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today

Replaced my 15 year old spark plug wires on my 98 Civic HX with OEM Sumitomo wires. Also replaced the spark plugs with NGK 4043. It's either placebo, or the car feels more responsive :D
