Nope! Still going great!

I'm not a fan of roof racks. The potential of me forgetting its on the roof and ramming into my garage is very high (lol) not to mention, I don't want to put a dirt covered bike on top of my car or have the potential to drop my bike on it. This also gives me the option of pulling a kayak...

Thanks! Here's how it looks with 2 bikes on it. The back and squats a little, but it's not terrible. Gas mileage dropped by about 6 MPG but it is a big wind block I have on the back so that's not surprising.

Ask and you shall receive! My applogies the car is filthy here in Ohio right now.

I made a costly mistake over the weekend and now looking for a rear bumper and trunk lid. It would be awesome if I could find red ones in mint condition and figured it couldn't hurt to ask.....maybe someone knows of one that got hit in the front and the rear is ok? I'll travel around Ohio or...

I believe the standard receiver like on etrailer have a 200lb tongue weight rating. It then really depends on what bike rack you used because the force on the receiver greatly increases the farther out your weight is from the vehicle.

Today I had a dealer flash my 2017 Si for the +6 psi. Seems like a lot of fun but I'm not a fan of the car starting in Sport mode by default. Is this something that can be changed? I can't find any info on it. I know I could have emailed Hondata but maybe someone else here had the same...

If you search the site you'll find all kinds of stuff. I'm a huge fan of the exhaust mod I did so I can haul my mountain bike around. Here's a link to the write-up. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/oem-exhaust-mod-for-bike-rack-sport-si.48864/

You're probably going to be screwed unless you want to modify the exhaust. The only other option you'd have is something like maineXSi came up with. See the link below. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/si-trailer-hitch.39078/page-6

To purchase the Draw-Tite reciever, new exhaust tips, and have custom fab work done to my exhaust I have about the same amount of money in my set up compared to this custom receiver. I would have considered this if I didn't already modify my exhaust. I think the receiver looks ugly under the...

Looks good!

I hate to nit-pick. But from this picture your bumper cover looks just how mine did when I first reinstalled it after my hitch and how its pushed up in the middle. If you pop the trunk and look between the top of the bumper cover and trunk I'm willing to bet the plastic tabs that are supposed...

For someone that doesn't want to mess with changing anything on the car I'd think this would be fantastic. I really should have drawn up in CAD the my drawtite one before installing to give people as a reference (specifically for the bolting points and such). I think you could make some money...

I decided to get a mountain bike 2 years after having my Si so it was absolutely an afterthought. But, if I had my mountain bike now and I still wanted to get an Si I would do the exact same thing I did. I wouldn't make a decision on a car because of its exhaust placement personally. :)

Ordered a 1upUSA rack which came today! yay!

I had the issue again earlier this week and realized once I took the metal clip out that you can't sand/grind it down to make it stop. I can't find a good picture of it, but its the 90° bend that is supposed to help keep the clip in place that actually hits the rotor. What I ended up doing was...

I posted my write up in the exhaust section so hatchbacks and sport models might see it. You can see it here https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/oem-exhaust-mod-for-bike-rack-sport-si.48864/

Civic Si/Sport model Exhaust Mod for Bike Rack Problem: Inability to add a receiver mount to my Civic Si sedan due to the center exhaust. Answer: Modify stock exhaust because I like the quiet stock exhaust. Recently I got into mountain biking and currently have no way to easily transport...

Hitch is on, having my exhaust modified on Tuesday. I'll post a full write up and link to what I did after it's all done

Yep I had the same issue and like others said it was the brake pad clip. I need to sand it down a little as it's doing it again. Attached is a picture of the issue.
