2018 Honda Civic — project-car budget is disappearing into little parts

2018 Honda Civic Si, about 55,500 miles. The shell and drivetrain were the exciting purchases; now brackets, hoses, bushings, fittings and hardware are eating the budget.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2018 Honda Civic in Austin, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “project-car budget is disappearing into little parts,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Not convinced that's the whole story. If it still isn't clear on the 2018 Honda Civic, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Do that first. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
