turn heat all the way up.
fresh air (recirculate off)

I use this stuff from the dollar store (found in the air freshener/cleaner section)

I find that it helps reduce the amount of condensation build up. One in the spare wheel and one in the rear right pocket of my civic hatch.

The best way I have dealt with the moisture was to fix all the leaks in these old Hondas though.
Official EF CRX/Civic water leak thread - Honda-Tech

Ten minutes of driving and the windows are clear (like any other car without leaks).

^ not a bad price. Get the Dri-Z-Air refill that come in the jug (Lordco or Canadian Tire). When it all turns to water, dump it out and re-use the container.

Sell me your front seats damn it!

hud 91gt 11-07-2014 04:47 PM

I'm a little sad. Those seats looked mint.

asian_XL 11-07-2014 05:07 PM

If u dont give fat chicks and chubby dudes a ride, any passenger seat will look mint, my old e36 rear seat was mint and smell like new.

I like those seats! Are they being swapped out too? Just curious...not vulturin' lol!

westopher 11-07-2014 06:57 PM

Lol yeah they are coming out. They aren't perfect though, but pretty good shape, never mind the fact that I think leather seats are the worst things to happen to cars. Too cold, too hot, sticky, sweaty and slippery all at the same time. Might just keep them, might sell them if someone wants to pay me the right price.

underscore 11-07-2014 09:23 PM

^ Agreed completely, I hate leather in cars. That said, I'd use them as chairs in my house.

Are you getting the hurricane alcantara interior?

dared3vil0 11-07-2014 10:03 PM

Nothing finer than Alcantara seats. :megusta:

swapped a CV joint...took 3 hours :failed:

FSM says drop the lower control arm....one bolt kept spinning but wouldn't come out.

Tried to drop the lower ball joint, cotter pin rusted and was a PITA. Couldn't get the ball joint to break free even when smashing what it goes through with a 3 lb mini sledge.

Tried to separate wheel assembly from strut tower, one bolt was seized and wouldn't budge.

Ended up unbolting the strut from the upper mounts, used spring compressors to create some wiggle room and wrestled the damn thing out.

PITA

I bought a similar thing at Daiso but it had a charcoal filter in it too. It really helps the condensation.

replaced primary o2 sensor and switched to winters... :(

Replaced wiper blades today. Replaced it with rainX latitude. Pretty good wiper blades and noticeably more quiet :notbad:

jinxcrusader 11-09-2014 08:03 AM

I'm tempted to try PIAA wiper blades. Will need to swap them out soon.
