A heads up to fellow Si owners that the DI fuel injectors are on nationwide backorder. Long story short, Honda discontinued the part and is updating with a revised injector, due to high failure rates. The revised part has been on nationwide backorder for about a month. If you encounter a...

I've seen various posts over the years on performance issues with the AC (particularly on those with dual climate control). This is good video on the possible causes. In my experience, it's usually due to low refrigerant from a slow leak in the system. But YMMV. Hope this helps:

I had shared this on another thread but wanted to make a separate one to ensure this got the right kind of attention & focus. We are seeing some examples of owners coming back reporting that Honda can pick up vehicle PCM history, regardless of whether the ECU is returned to factory state. It...

Hey gang - Quick reminder that modified exhausts above 95db are now a non-correctable, $1K fine throughout California. For those familiar with current events, yes - this is in direct response to the recent street takeovers in So Cal. You can read more about it here...

Interested to see what the community here thinks. Please keep it civil lol. ....and go. :cool:

I didn't see this posted so thought I'd share. KW has released their ADS cancellation units for the FK8 CTR. For those unfamiliar with KW's approach on the 9th Gen CTR, these units intercept the ADS signal and return a null response, in order to prevent the ADS warning lights from appearing (or...

I found the results a tad surprising but his logic makes sense. Some good points made.

I see a lot of discussion on this and wanted to put this myth to rest somewhat. While it's true that transmission-mount shifters are sensitive to pressure, most FWD platforms including Civics have cable-mounted shifters and are not subject to the same sensitivity. This has been corroborated in...

This is an easy how-to and one I was going to skip. But inevitably there will be someone who will try and replace the entire to slider vs. the cover (or break a tab by pulling the covers the wrong way). Time: 5-10 minutes Tool: Phillips screwdriver (and maybe an interior plastic separator for...

Wide release schedule for late November. Pricing on individual components is unknown at the moment but total costs can be viewed here: http://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/HFP-SI-4DR.html#.WclnTPcsUkU.facebook Includes 19" wheels, lugs, ADS suspension, floor mats and aero. Rumor is they...

I kept an ownership thread in the Mazdaspeed forums that was fairly popular. Thought I would create one here too - especially knowing that this is Honda's first foray into Turbo Direct Injection. Hopefully it proves useful to those considering this car later down the line, new or used...

After talking and obsessing over a new car purchase for two years, I finally scored a decent deal on an outgoing 2017 Si. My plan was to hold until end of year. But pricing was too good to pass up. Up until this week, my daily driver was a 2009 Mazdaspeed3. Before that, a 00 Si. I picked up the...

Hey All - Since the CTR, Si, and Hatch Sport all have more coveted wheels, I thought I would send a quick reminder about wheel locks. McGard and Gorilla primarily offer a cone-seated wheel lock nut. (aka tapered) Honda uses a ball-seated lug nut. (aka shank) Cone style on the left, ball style...

MSRP for the Sedan. Have at it. Winner gets a gold star. I say around $24,750.

Interesting read if you have time. In short, consumers are putting more blame on the automakers (Honda) rather than their smartphones. The long term solution may result in automakers abandoning Carplay and Android Auto in favor of a more universal UI (Android)...

Admit it. We need this thread. Add your thoughts as you see fit. Here we go... Premise: With the Civic Si and Civic Type R both months away from launch, it's time to consider which will be right for you. Most here have made up their mind. So let this serve as a reminder that there is no right...

So I've been hearing from several sources throughout the internet that the 2017/18 Civic Type R will be offered as a sedan. Why? Responses vary from marketing appeal, to economies of scale with the upcoming Si Sedan. I'm not creating this thread to evaluate the likelihood of a CTR Sedan. But...

I am going to do this just once in the hopes this helps the community in getting the car and price they want. There are three general items to consider: - Purchase price - Financing % - Trade-in value General rules for getting a fair price: - Negotiate the above items separately. - Let the...

Think the CTR is underpowered? Here's how it does against the 360 HP RS3 and 425 HP M3. Old video but gives you a good idea of how chassis, weight and suspension are a huge part of the performance package.
