  1. A reality check for distracted drivers, and a thank you to Honda

    At 6:51 AM EST this morning, I got a phone call from my girlfriend. She was on her way to work and she doesn't call me often at that time, so I was pleasantly surprised to see her on the caller ID. I picked up the phone and heard her say the words that no one ever wants to hear: "I was in an...
  2. Goodbye (well... sorta) and thank you to my fellow 10th Gen Si enthusiasts

    Just wanted to drop in and say (sorta) goodbye to my fellow CivicX forum friends. Yesterday I picked up a new 2018 VW Golf R. I had to drive to MD to get it, but got a pretty good deal on a car that's rarely discounted. I say "sorta" goodbye because my girlfriend bought my '17 Si coupe. So I...
  3. PSA: Please secure cargo when in an open-bed truck

    Was on my way home from shopping Wednesday evening around 7:30 PM. Was on a highway, traveling at highway speeds (~75 MPH). A dually pickup truck in front of me ran something over that was in front of him. I only had about 1/2 second to react. Jumped on the brakes and tried to turn away from...
  4. Anyone else have cracked foglight lenses?

    Last week when walking to my car, something with the foglights caught my eye. Once I got to the car, I saw that both foglight lenses were broken. I can only assume this was the act of vandalism... they are both broken and they are broken in almost an identical fashion. I have no idea how or...
  5. A guy walks out of a grocery store....

    ...and sees this. God (or insert appropriate deity here) help the lazy asshole if I ever found out who did this. Thankfully the cart itself did NOT touch the car, but as you can see from the pics, it was awful close. Lazy asshole.
  6. Sustained driving at high speeds... long-term effects?

    I don't subscribe to the Perpetual Car Payment, so I try to keep them as long as I can (usually 10 years, or if my vehicular needs change... whichever occurs first). I try to take good care of my cars so they last a long time, in hopes of not having any major repairs before it's time to move...
  7. Anyone else's AC vent move in the heat?

    Wasn't sure where to put this; apologies if this is the wrong place. On very hot days, the vent in my '17 Si coupe will move from its original position. Instead of blowing air on me (where it's aimed), it will be blowing air at the ceiling. Not a crisis, but certainly annoying. Anyone else...
  8. Finally saw my twin!

    I was pulling into work this morning and I did a double-take when I saw my twin! An Aegean Blue Civic Si coupe! I pulled alongside it and took the below pics. Mine is the dirty one on the right. The driver told me it was her husband's and they just bought it a few weeks ago. Told her it was...
  9. Question for those with Dual-Zone Climate control...

    This is my first summer with the Civic (Si coupe). I have a question about the dual zone climate control. In the winter, it seemed to do perfectly... I'd set my side of the car to my temp (cooler), and the GF would set her side to her desired temperature (warmer). We were both happy. In the...
  10. Backing out of the driveway... wheel comes off the ground

    My driveway slopes downward and it also has that curb-but-not really edge to it that seems to be prevalent for negihborhoods nowadays (in other words it's that little 'bump' that serves as both a curb but yet can be driven over). I also live near the end of a cul-de-sac that is uphill, so I'm...
  11. Anyone else having issues with Google Assistant and Android Auto?

    I've seen at least one other person mention it, so I thought I'd put it here to see if we could come to a solution. Lately, when using Android Auto, and I say "OK Google", the following happens: The music stops I do NOT hear the acknowledge beep The Google Assistant icon dances from the...
  12. Side window deflectors for coupe?

    It's obvious that WeatherTech is never going to release their most awesome side window deflectors for the Civic coupe. I'm looking for a good-quality side window deflector that is of the in-channel type.... NOT the stick-on variety. The hot weather is right around the corner; cracking the...
  13. Displaying song/artist info instead of channel name?

    This is a total #FirstWorldProblem kind of thing, but it would be nice to change if possible. I use Android Auto a lot and of course it completely dominates the touch screen. When driving, 99% of the time I'm listening to SiriusXM. Nice that I can choose the little Music Note from the menu on...
  14. Any way to uniformly illuminate the coupe's unibrow tailight?

    I have a '17 Si coupe and it bugs me how the unibrow tail light (sorry, can't think of any other way to describe it) isn't uniformly illuminated. I haven't taken the lens off but it looks like there are 2 x high-powered red LEDs per side that illuminate two plexiglass (?) tubes that run the...
  15. Civic Si coupe has the same radio as....

    ...which other Civic trim levels? I'm asking because I'm looking to replace my head unit, and Crutchfield doesn't have Civic Si coupe as a model. They have: Civic EX Civic LX Civic Sport Civic Sport Touring Civic Touring If I knew which models had the same head unit, I could start my search...
  16. (LINK) Luckyarmpit's LED turn signal upgrade for '17 Si Coupe

    Hi guys, thought I'd link my post under the Technical forums so the Si fans that don't venture that far down the page can check it out. Thanks! https://www.civicx.com/threads/luckyarmpits-led-turn-signal-upgrade-17-si-coupe.20162/
  17. Luckyarmpit's LED turn signal upgrade - '17 Si coupe

    I finally upgraded the turn signals (well, at least the front anyway) to LED. I thought I had ordered the rear bulbs but the website I used had the front/rear mixed up... it's probably because many sites don't specifically list the coupe... just "2017 Civic". The rear bulbs are on the way and...
  18. Turn signal LED upgrade - where to mount the resistors?

    Hi everyone, I have a '17 Si coupe that I want to upgrade to LED turn signals. I know I need resistors to mitigate the hyperflash condition that will inevitably happen. My question is where to mount the resistors. From the multiple reviews I've read, I know they get quite hot. Just wondering...
  19. How's the A/C and performance in the Civic Si?

    As I mentioned in another thread, I was the "I'll never own another 4-cylinder" due to the general lack of power (economy over performance)... that was, until I test-drove the Civic Si that I ended up buying. It was near the end of October when I bought it, and still warm here in NC so we had...
  20. Where do you store your large phone when using AA/ACP?

    Hello all, title pretty much says it all. Wondering where everyone with larger phones stores it, specifically when using AA/ACP. I have a Pixel 2 XL and it barely fits in the phone pocket (Civic Si coupe) as it is. It doesn't fit at all vertically so I place it in there horizontally... but it...
