Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

@OldMechanic, I'm going to go to the dealership today and buy some of the official Honda coolant, along with some honda MTF. I'll bleed the system properly and if the overheating happens again, I'll take it to a shop. I'm watching temps with my UG very carefully, I have it set to set off an extremely high pitched alarm if the coolant reaches 210F.

Anyway, I swapped the rims from the Civic to the Insight today and WOW! It looks sooooo much better! The tire size is bigger (185/65R14 instead of 185/60R14) but that's ok, these tires are just temporary until I can get some RE92's.

The rear skirts aren't going back on just yet, I'm gonna get an alignment done along with a repair done to one of the studs, it completely stripped out at the tip.
