Podcast Episode #112 - 8th Generation Civic Sedan - Si Grille Upgrade

Paul — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:05:00 +0000

This mod has been out there for a while now but we keep getting requests for an install podcast. So, Kel and I took the time to experiment and here is the result. Remove the lame chrome grille from the non-Si sedans and replace it with the painted Si version. Then, based on personal preference there are a couple of options on what to do with the emblem tab that comes on the new grille base. We opted to chop it off for the video.

Paul — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:57:00 +0000

So you put out 99 episodes, you make plans for a special filming event, and what do you get? A swift kick to the mouth apparently. The only thing left to do is make the best of the situation you are presented with, and that is what we did. So we took your questions to Bob's hotel room and filmed our podcast there. This is not the venue we arranged but we didn't have another option (more details in the podcast). Part 1 is an introduction to the gang as requested by several viewers. We chat about our Honda history, backgrounds and tell a few stories as well. Part 2, which will be posted tomorrow, dives into a wide range of your submitted questions. But for now meet Bob, Ian, Paul, Kel, Micha, and Vizzo (kind of).

This podcast is a follow up to episode #94. That episode demonstrated the LED 3rd brake light that is found in the EX coupe will directly plug in to nearly every other Civic trim. To take this to the next step we will now show you how to install this light into your DX or LX coupe. This upgrade does not only require the LED light but you also need to replace your stock rear deck with the EX version. You will be able to find further details and purchase the parts to complete this upgrade at www.collegehillshonda.com. We will explore the possibility of a sedan 3rd brake light upgrade in a later podcast.

Podcast Episode #95 - Parts Department Tour

Paul — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:28:00 +0000

In a suggestion for episode #100, Jon wondered if our viewers could get a look at our parts department. He thought it would be nice for everyone to see what makes our little Internet business tick. We thought this was a great idea but we realized it would not fit well into our 100th taping. So in this stand-alone episode Kel and I take you for a stroll through our offices at the end of the work day. To get a better idea of how our business ticks maybe we'll film some footage during the hustle and bustle of our daytime routines at a later date. Please note that some of the space in this video is still under construction so watch your step!

Podcast Episode #94 - Civic 3rd Brake Light LED Test

Paul — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 18:08:00 +0000

This is another follow-up to a question we received on episode #92. The question was if the LED 3rd brake light out of the 8th generation Civic EX Coupe could be installed into a LX/EX 4dr model. We also explored the possibility of swapping the clear lens that is found on the Hybrid model as well. Although we did not complete an install in this episode we did confirm that the harnesses required to power these units are the same. An installation episode will be completed at a later date.
