you can get a honda one at honda...obviously. lol (im not tryin to be a smartass). and i can get the hamp one around here...but you can order them online. i think they add 3 psi to your oil pressure if im not mistaken...which makes VTAKKK CRAZYY YO!!! lol not really. but it is pretty sweet.

btw...you have a pretty sweet setup. but i have yet to convert mine from conventional oil to synthetic. lol idk if i wanna do it. but 89 octane is what i normally run. on a sohc hatch...you dont need 91...but i hate 87.

well my car is not highly modified, or mildly modified. i don't have an intake to kick in 12 hp, or header that boost 15 hp. this is maintenace that i enjoy doing and is proud to do it myself. my car is stock other than suspension and rims and tires.

i buy my oil and filter from wal-mart and i noticed Halvoline motor oil jumped from $2.66 to $3.47, jeeez! i went to 5 different wal-marts looking for the air filter, and they said they don't stock for the civics. they no longer like honda's

i buy my plugs from kragen.

i just like to see what people use that is all.

lets see now, my last car was a 1990 dodge caravan turbo and it had some very specific needs:

fuel-the souls of innocent children. they had to be innocent because if they were corrupt it knocked.
oil-the blood of 6 week old puppies
oil filter-hitler's skull. it had a lifetime warranty from mopar
air filter-chicken wire stretched over the compressor inlet
