Hey all. I’ve just ordered whiteline adjustable lower ball joints, and a 22mm whiteline RSB for some big handling upgrades this summer. I’m on eibach sportlines, skunk2 rear camber arms, and conti extremecontact sport 02 tires. What front and rear camber should I use? The car mostly does hard...

Hey all, so unfortunately the Canadian winters have been pretty rough on my car. No rust anywhere else on the car, however there’s rust on my door as seen in the video. What’s the best way I can repair this? It doesn’t have to be pretty, just want it to stop rusting. Thanks!

Hey all, after owning the car for a year and getting at the 235k mark I want to do a compression test just to see how things are going. Unfortunately there’s already been a few threads made on this topic, but there’s been no definitive answer for how to disable the fuel injectors and still have...

Hey all. So this may come off as a silly because I always preach on this forum about how the L15 can be reliable if taken care of. However, honestly the talk online amongst tuners and owners on this forum makes me worry so much it makes me not enjoy the car anymore. I’ve preventatively replaced...

Hey all, so this is my first winter with my RV6 R365 turbo and as recommended I’ve been using 5w-30. I live in southern Ontario so it gets decently cold, but not insane. Like -20C max but mostly in the -10s. Should I switch to 0w-30? Or will I be ok with 5w-30? Thanks guys

Hey all, so now that the 1.5t platform has been out for 8 years, and has been tuned, modified & abused to great extent for basically that whole time, biases aside, what is everyone’s consensus on this platform? How does it stack up to other Honda engines in terms of reliability, tunability...

Hey all, I just took the car out on a spirited drive and it was behaving as normal, but then on a 3rd gear pull it would hit around 6k rpm and start stuttering. It only started doing this at the end of the spirited drive (the drive had many wot pulls without issue), but now it seems i can...

Hey all, So after getting the head gasket replaced, arp headstuds, and Rv6 R365 turbo installed ive had an issue. The first instance was my first datalog, third gear at 6900 rpm the oil light and check engine light flashed for literally a third of a second, reset my ktuner, kicked the car out of...

This is the condition of my head gasket at 230k km, 70k of that tuned, (a mix of phearable 1.5r and ktuner 21.5psi base map) while on stock head studs. The car was driven quite hard! (Head gasket was replaced preventively with arp head stud install)

Hey all, I'm about to upgrade to the R365 turbo on my 2017 si. I'm currently running the prl short ram with the street MAF, will be upgrading to the 27won turbo inlet, and currently have a mishimoto intercooler. Is switching to the race maf worth it at this soon to be powerlevel? or is it not...

Hey all, so I know there's already a ton of threads out there about drop in turbos. However, most threads are getting quite old and a lot of info isn't relevant or is just simply wrong and out of date. I'm looking to upgrade the turbo in my 2017 si, i'm already FBO with an upgraded clutch and a...

Hey all, so after taking my car to the drag strip for the first time, I discovered it has an ungodly amount of wheel hop on the prepped surface. I’m fbo running Indy 500s, and I have a hasport 62a RMM. I launched the car at 4100, because when I launched it at 3000 it immediately bogged out. Is...

Hey all, I’m sorry for another beat to death “I’m worried about x thing” thread. Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of 4th gear failures. My cars currently basically fbo on phearable 1.5r, the car is mainly driven on map 1 (including for most pulls) but sees map 3 every now and then for a roll...

Hey all, i'm currently trying to decide on an exhaust for my 2017 si coupe to pair with a 3" catless K-Tuned DP & FP. I'm looking for an exhaust that is decently loud, with as deep of a tone as possible, and with minimal drone. I'm willingly to sacrifice some loudness if it means keeping...

Hey, this is a continuation on my looking to buy post (refer to my posts for more info) but the 2017 civic si I’m looking at was undercoated yearly, however it looks like a small part of the subframe was missed due to it being under the plastic. The rest of the underside is absolutely mint. Is...

Hey all, so unfortunately my 2012 si was just rear ended and totalled and I’ve been looking to get into another si. My uncle has just upgraded to a mk8 gti and offered to sell me his 2017 Civic si so here are the facts. It has 202,000kms, it was basically all highway driven as he commutes 70km...
