Torqued my 96 si front axle nut to 134 ft lbs like the manual calls and i nearly lost a wheel.
i believe they gotta be much much tighter then that. When i did the headgasket the manual called for 49 ft lbs or 54 ft lbs one or the other and thats what it was torqued to and 50 kms after it got back on the road it completely blew. torqued it to 80 ft lbs after redoing the whole job havent had an issue even vtecing everwhere i go.
needless to say torque specs... dont worry about them, torque axle nuts with an impact gun and all your strength on a breaker bar and you wont have an issue.

wow. a lot of bad information on this site. Refer to a manual for the proper torque sequence. The civic I believe is a two step torque procedure. First 22 ft lbs, than 53 ft lbs.
