  1. 18 SI Oil Leak

    I have a slow leak on mine too. It seems to be coming from the back of the block - need to get it by the dealer and check it out.
  2. 2018 Honda fit

    I sold a 2015 Fit EX 6-speed for my 2017 Si sedan. Put the Si drivetrain and interior in the Fit chassis and I’d buy that immediately.
  3. Center console removal help

    This thread has a great walk-through on removing the center console - https://www.civicx.com/threads/diy-wireless-charger-install.16951/
  4. Post Your Aftermarket Wheel/Tire setup on Stock Suspension

    Yes, OEM center caps. They're 2-3mm too large, but I was able to carefully press them in.

    Enkei Raijin 18x8 +40, stock tires
  6. Want to get a 2018 Civic Hatchback but terrified of the fuel dilution issues

    I’ve changed my oil twice so far in my Si, about 5500 mile intervals. I sent both to Blackstone. The first report on the original factory fill showed 1% fuel dilution. The second, on Royal Purple 0w20 full synthetic showed less than 0.5% fuel dilution. Their “acceptable” amount according to the...
  7. No turn signals, No gauges, red light blinking while driving

    The dealer replaced my Si's gauge cluster under warranty for same issues dthatcher7 saw. I was fortunate that I was a few miles from the dealership when the problem started, and drove straight there. Is it an actual fault vs a temporary weirdness? No idea. I haven't had any issues since.
  8. Build up on transmission

    Yours is a bit worse than mine, but yes, I've got similar crud at my second oil change (11.5k miles). Apparently small oil leaks are not uncommon on these engines. I haven't gone to the dealer yet, but I plan on raising the issue soon.
  9. Noise from behind the dash, rattle at specific rpm

    What RPM? I get a resonance from what sounds like the front right of the engine bay at 2100-2200 RPM. I didn't think to check the underbody trays.
  10. SI Coupe Trunk Tray/HID Headlights

    I have the OEM trunk tray Ataricade linked. It's slippery. I ended up building a wood frame to hold a couple of plastic bins for groceries and to keep larger items from sliding all over the place. For HID's, I've tried both Kensun's 5000k and the Morimoto Elite 5500k. Both are good kits and...
  11. Oil

    I sent my factory fill oil to Blackstone, changed at ~5900 miles. I switched to Royal Purple 0w20 with an OEM filter, and will get the next oil change sample analyzed as well. I'll try to post the full report later, but the summary was "so far, so good," Lots of metal and silicon from break-in...
  12. instrument panel issue, dim lights, no gas/ECT guage, more...

    I checked the paperwork from the cluster replacement in my Si. Turns out the issues did *not* reproduce for the techs the next day. However since the service writer had documented what he saw, the techs reached out to their support channel with Honda and were told to change out the cluster...
  13. 35 days after putchase, Civic Si getting traded in. Bye Bye Si!

    Do the Accord Sports have upgraded suspension or steering vs the base model? I recently put 100 miles on a loaner '18 Accord 1.5T CVT and I was quite underwhelmed. Steering was light and vague. I learned I don't care for CVT's, I'd rather have a 6+ speed traditional automatic. I did like the...
  14. instrument panel issue, dim lights, no gas/ECT guage, more...

    I have my car back - they were able to get the part fedex'd. Turns out they replaced the entire gauge cluster. $1100 or so, according to the service writer.
  15. instrument panel issue, dim lights, no gas/ECT guage, more...

    It's fortunate I was near the dealership when it happened. And except for the turn signals not working I probably would have gone home and disconnected the battery. I bet this is one of those cases where if a tech doesn't see it happening, they can't diagnose it. Hopefully when I pick it up...
  16. instrument panel issue, dim lights, no gas/ECT guage, more...

    Honda just called - failed gauge control module. They had to order the part - middle of next week or so.
  17. instrument panel issue, dim lights, no gas/ECT guage, more...

    My 2017 Si is at the dealership now for a similar issue. My daughter and I stopped by the store on our way home, all was fine. Get back to the car after shopping and put her in the car, then go for the trunk. Won't open. None of the three switches opened it. No worries, we'll head home and call...
  18. Installed Civic Type R shift lever in my Si

    I understand the plastic base is the same on all MT Civics. The spring on the Si and Type R are the same, different than base models. The actual shift lever is longer on the Type R unit, which results in a shorter shift throw than Si/base models.
