I don't even know were to begin!! Forget about the cosmetic things right know it sounds like you need to focus on the mechanical things first. Get the front end squared away. Replace worn out ball joints upper and lower, inner and outer tie rods, and over hall the brakes put new rotors calipers and pads on. then get the car aligned. See how she drives and get back to us

Rotors are warped or your tires are out of balance.

Either use a zip tie, or replace it.

I bet there's wax in it. Clean it out.

I doubt that. You're using the *** dyno, which believe it or not, isn't the most accurate.

Civic's have noisy suspensions.

Explain this "crunch" noise.

Thanks for sharing I guess. None of those problems take rocket science fixes.

Steering wheel, its not about a fuse...the actual buttons came off in a fit of highway road rage BEEP BEEP SNAP o_o.....

Glove box - nothing is obstructing the latch, the glove box is empty and all the parts run like bitter, its funky.

Rotors - tires : so if i were to get new breaks/rotors and rims/tires it would most likley be fixed?

Passenger seat - i cant really see if theres anything there. Il have tounbolt the seat and mess with it then?

Fans - i cleaned it, but its still loud.

Window - how would i fix this? take off the door pannel and bend it back?

Crunch noise - when i start it it makes the start noise dadada vroom and in between the last dada and the vroom it makes an awful CRUNCH exactly like it souns CRUNCH like grinding metal...its awful.

I know others will eventually have these problems as well..it might help somone other than me...u never know.

Sounds like VTaK might be eating your flywheel...

But seriously, nice try with the description. I would take it to a mechanic if you think it will make it that far. And how much did you pay for that piece?
