Well in your circumstance it did not work for you. Why not play around the pressures until you get to a pressure that is as high as possible with out creating adverse handling? Are those the tires and wheels that came with the car???

Doorjamb pressure for my car is 38 psi in all tires, sidewall is 45. I decided to fill them all up to 45 for the hell of it last time I got gas. This is where I what expected did not happen at all, my car behaved completely differently. In addition to the TPMS light constantly being on and the ride going to complete shit, I found my traction incredibly reduced. The traction control light and stability lights would come on much more than would before (almost never). I also found it hard to get traction in 1st gear at lights, it seemed to skid almost all the time. I don't have shitty tires (P-Zero Nero) so that was not a problem. I did notice my MPG go from 26 combined to 28, but the loss of control that came with it was not worth the savings. Needless to say, I aired them down the same day.

That's pretty gay... Now that you mentioned it, it sounds like the car's stupid traction control got all retarded and started to flip out over you inflating your tires to sidewall... Never had the TPS care about OVERinflating the tires, just under-inflating and it usually only warns when it's 25% under-inflated. Even then, some how today's children have been taught by their parents to not heed the car's warnings like to change the oil or to inflate the tires, etc. etc...It stays at 38, the cluster tells me if its too high or to low. Yes, stock tires
5K for 120K civic...
Irrational people are irrational.
lol, it's 4k for a 116k civic(Then after taxes and what my dad wanted to do it will be closer to 4700 or so). It's not horrible or great, but I am happy with what I have.

If TridenT paid $4K and $5K after taxes for an automatic civic, he got seriously owned because automatic civics are a dime a dozen and those transmissions I can't imagine lasting nearly as long as the stick shift versions...
I know you can't hear me but I think you did good except for one part... You got owned on the taxes.. Why did you tell them you paid $4000 for the car when you could've said you paid like $500?? lulz
So, he'll know how you feel everytime you post here.
Odds are that his transmission will be good for another 100k miles.
Maybe because that's tax evasion?
Not everybody wants to break the law every time they do a private party sale.

Alright, here is the car without any detailing at all... I purposefully show all the horrors of my shitty car(I can't even show you the engine compartment because it is just so god damn horridly dirty, oh and the windshield wiper fluid stuff doesn't work even though it's full apparently?! I hear the little motor thing work but it doesn't shoot any fluid?)
Beware, these photos are like two megabytes a piece!

Oh, and I've already vacuumed it somewhat. I spent over an hour vacuuming I am sure but it isn't really that clean... It needs some professionally help and some wiping down. Oh and I got new windshield wipers. RainX Latitude... They were spendy but consumer reports say they last the longest and perform quite evenly over the length of time you use them. (They don't work great then go to shit fast... They just work pretty good and keep working pretty good)
Dear christ man that thing has been ragged on to hell and back, did you even bother to get it checked by a mechanic?
