  1. Current market value of Si

    I sold my ā€˜18 Si for a profit something like a year or year and a half ago and said I wasnā€™t going to buy another used car again in 2022, because the prices were wild. I figured we could get by with one family vehicle in the Odyssey and the truck and Z could split DD duties for me when Iā€™m home...
  2. If you knew the limits of the motor back then, would you still buy a 10th gen over a 9th?

    I had a ā€˜15 Si and traded it out for a ā€˜18 Si. The 10th gen was better than the old K24 car in every way I objectively/subjectively measure, powertrain included as long as you kept the K24 NA. I contemplated going FI on the K24 but it still would have been a far inferior car compared to the 10th...
  3. Would you buy it again?

    Iā€™d buy my ā€˜18 Si in late ā€˜17 again for the 23.5k I paid for it. ā€¦and even if the used car markets hadnā€™t driven me to sell it at a profit, Iā€™d of traded it out by now. But the issue lies with me, not the car. Iā€™m a car whore through and through. It is, after 25 or so years of having cars, the...
  4. Blown Engine "Fear Factor"

    I sold my Civic a year or two ago now and I still come around now and then. Thereā€™s been a lot of good folks on this forum Iā€™ve interacted with over the years. Youā€™re the top of the heap, Mitch.
  5. Blown Engine "Fear Factor"

    Sā€™ok. Youā€™ve invested enough in this place to enjoy the dividends of a vent whenever you want!:thumbsup:
  6. Blown Engine "Fear Factor"

    It did used to be a bit more Wild West when we didnā€™t know much about the cars. I think youā€™re seeing a lot of the first owners come and go and the 2nd owner crowd doing a lot of lurking of our old posts. I donā€™t know this for sure, but Iā€™d bet the site gets more non-member traffic just poking...
  7. Design's Long Term Ownership Thread - 2017 Si

    Not great. I looked at the local salvage yards down in Jacksonville for the sake of fun and there arenā€™t any 10th gens/CRVs/Accords to snag anything from. I planned a trip in the coming days and would have sent you a care package if I could have. I would never of thought such a critical item...
  8. Hello I replaced my front door speakers withsome new ones and about day later no sound out of speaker and tweeters only rear speakers work the

    I wouldnā€™t have expected to blow a fuse during install but itā€™s a quick thing to check.
  9. Wake the Dragon 2023

    Iā€™ll be sadly under the water this year. The Civic has been gone awhile but would have loved to be a party crasher in the old Z. If anyone is on the fence on goingā€¦ DO IT. My whole family of 5 packed in the Civic and drove from SE GA to attend. The kids still talk about it. I managed to make my...
  10. my 2020 Si still on sale at Carmax 4 months later at $30k

    Yeah. I had been offered around 20k 6 months earlier as a trade for it but was lukewarm about the cars I was thinking of replacing it with. When Carmax offered more than I paid for it straight upā€¦ I took the money and ran. I assumed it was a relatively short window that I could manage to recoup...
  11. my 2020 Si still on sale at Carmax 4 months later at $30k

    I got cut a check for $25.4 almost exactly 1 year ago for my ā€˜18 Si that had 40k miles. I never checked back but often wonder what they managed to sell it for.
  12. “Emissions System Problem”, “Engine System Problem”. Getting 4-15MPG on my 2019 Honda Civic Sedan. “Oil Life” % meter. Plz help

    There was a gas station off I-95 where I live that got in trouble by having water-contaminated fuel. Itā€™s been going for a long time, but Iā€™d try getting fuel elsewhere just to test that variable in case youā€™re getting junky gasā€¦ especially if you consistently buy from the same location. I...
  13. 1.5T Power Metrics & Limitations for 1.5L Turbo (Non Si models)

    I thought it was a very safe and low cost move for Honda. They repackaged the same car in a lot of ways and put it back out there and just focused on criticisms. They gave it a good price hike which was inevitable given the markets and inflation and had to remove features to make the Integra...
  14. How many of you play VR games

    Manā€¦ I took my VR headset underway over the summer and entertained folks by standing over in the corner in one of the few spots on the boat where I could flail without hitting anyone/thing and managed to practice up to where I could pass a bunch of songs on expert on Beat Saber. My young kids...
  15. 2023 Nissan Z

    Pretty cool. I just had a 98+ spec new transmission added to my old ā€˜94 twin turbo early this year and my wife added a new head unit while I was out to sea this summer that does all the Apple car play tricks to modernize it a smidge. Iā€™d like to see a new Z in person and drive oneā€¦ but I would...
  16. Should I run a BOV or no?

    I personally love the idea of having an engine work to build boost then just venting all that work to atmosphere vice recircing it to maintain a good spool. Makes sense to me. šŸ¤” Maybe newer cars donā€™t run pig rich when you lift with something more than MAFā€¦ or not as bad. My 300zx definitely...
  17. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    Youre right. I think I was thinking of cobalt. Pretty sure that was the one element they were trying to scale down the use of if they can to reduce costā€¦ and the PITA aspects of mining and recycling. Thanks for the correction.
  18. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    I do think EV battery lifespan is still a concern and given how integrated they are into a vehicles chassis or buried in the interior and the lack of parts on the aftermarket makes them a bit of a scare to replaceā€¦ Things are moving quickly though. EV1 started out with lead acid batteries when...
  19. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    One thing also Iā€™m really interested in is, in the coming years, lithium recycling is as effective as lead recycling for lead-acid automotive batteries. 99+% of all lead acid batteries are recycled and really cuts the material cost. The price is honestly ridiculous IMO as the material cost of a...
  20. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    ā€¦I will say that Iā€™m about to call Tesla a ā€œsuccessā€ in my eyes. My metric was when I saw more Teslas on the road than Pontiacs. I live in a poor-to-middle class kind of town and itā€™s getting close as older Pontiacs die and more folks buy Teslas. I can definitely say that, these days, the...
