Can I modify a 2012 Honda Civic LX ECON?

I recently bought a 2012 Honda Civic LX ECON as my first car. I'm really into JDM/Stanced Cars, but also in saving gas. I've owned the car for a good 6 months and in really thinking about customizing it to my likes. I'm thinking about dropping it low and adding a body kit to it. I also would love to add an exhaust and intake to it as well, but I'm not sure is the ECON feature would get in the way of my engine mods. Enough explaining the question I want answers to is…

CAN I TUNE MY ENGINE UP OR WILL THE ECON HOLD ME BACK FROM MODS EXCEPT FOR THE EXTERIORS MODS?

Running a fridge off 12V?

I'm about to be homeless so I'm looking to get a small refrigerator in my Honda Civic. I see they make 12V refrigerators, but what should I do about my electrical system? The refrigerator needs to be ran 24/7, so it will drain my battery. Should I get a few of those deep cycle batteries? Can I keep them charged by paralleling them to my stock battery? Is my alternator gonna be able to power all that?

And what do I need to look for to make sure I won't run out of power? Watts for the fridge & Kw/hrs for the batteries?

How many YEARS will my 2006 Honda Civic LX last?

I have a 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan, with 73,300 miles. I'm now down to driving only about 4000 miles/year (I run a home-based business), so clearly miles not going to determine when my car dies.

I would like to own it for a total of 16 years (until 2022), by which time the car might still be no higher than 100,000 miles.

Clearly, miles are not what will make this car old, but rather calendar time.

So my question is, what sort of maintenence based on calendar time should I be doing? I'm in California, so no salt, ice, or exteme heat working against my car.

1) Waxing - I want the car to look good even when it is old, of course. How often should waxing be done? I'm parked in outside covered parking, so it is shielded from the sun and rain, but not from horizontal forces like blowing dust…

2) Tires - I'm not wearing my tires down in miles, but how about years? How often should they be changed if the rubber is getting old?

3) What other sort of maintenance should be done on a time schedule rather than a miles schedule?

What happened to my steering on my Honda Civic?

So I was driving today and I made a u turn and about 3/4 way through the turn I heard I kind of popping noise and instantly after straighting the wheel the wheel wouldn t turn anymore. Like it kind turn maybe 20 degrees with a ton of effort but it can't turn all the way and it takes really a lot of force. What could this be? It's a 2003 Honda Civic coupe.

Hesitation problems gone in cold weather? - 1

2012 Honda Civic LX, 180k miles.

First, can a transmission mount affect acceleration performance? I've been having hesitation issues (lack of acceleration power) in my Civic. The problem goes away almost completely in cold weather (anything below 35 degrees F). However in warm weather, my car struggles to accelerate quickly and it sounds kind of like it's growling.

I do believe I have a bad transmission mount due to a vibrating/rough idle that goes away whenever I shift to N or R. So I will get that replaced, but I'm not sure this can cause hesitation?

Does this sound like a dirty TB?

Fuel trims are normal. Thanks

Added (1). P.S. I'm doubtful it is the mount. I'm leaning towards a dirty TB or other air restriction since the cold/denser air pretty much gets rid of the problem (likely not vacuum leak due to normal fuel trims).

My car has a new battery but won't crank?

As I turn the engine on there's no click but the lights on the dashboard works. When we do try to jump the battery the starter wants to crank but as soon as we remove the jumper wires no crank nor a click, any advise?
