  1. Dead battery!

    On a different subject...I am waiting anxiously for the weather and the roads to clear up so I can install my hondata flashpro! I plan on driving the car for a day or two in stock form...it's been garaged all Winter and I want to be able to feel the difference. I am chomping at the bit! C'mon...
  2. Dead battery!

    I have a couple of those...but damn, it's a new car! We really should not have t I have a couple of those, but damn...we should not have to constantly charge batteries on our new cars, just bc they sit for a while. But, I guess it's common with these.
  3. Dead battery!

    A weak battery is one thing, but something is draining it while it sits for a while. I had 10 volts and 10% charge today...not enough to turn the motor over.
  4. Dead battery!

    So, the Si has been garaged all winter. I just can't bring myself to drive her on the salty roads up here in the Northeast. I come out to the garage once a week or so and start it up and let it idle for a bit. It always cranks slow after sitting for a week or even a couple of days. Daily driving...
  5. Tail light/spoiler swirls on new civic?

    I second that! I have never owned a vehicle that the plastic scratches so easily on. My Si is my first new car ever (and I'm 41) and I have done my best to pamper it, going as far as using new microfiber every time, for everything. It doesn't seem to matter as it still leaves swirl marks...on...
  6. VSA Thumps in the Rain

    I have experienced the same loud "bang" twice now, under different circumstances. Once was on wet pavement. I punched it in second gear and the tires lost traction. It only went "bang" once but it was loud and violent...enough for me to back off the throttle quickly. The second time was on dry...

    So, this happened again during different circumstances: I dropped down a gear through an intersection and mashed the gas...the intersection was crowned, and the front tires came off the ground for a split second as I came to the top of the "crown". I heard the same horrible "bang" as I did when...

    Another question....roads were wet tonight during my drive, I throttled it in second gear and the tires spun, until the vsa kicked in, and then a "bang" before the tires no longer spun and just gripped. It's the second time that's happened. Is the vsa supposed to engage really abruptly with a...

    Well at least I know that I am not alone in this

    My 2013 Civic Ex did the same thing and it always baffled me. So, this is normal?

    I will try that and let you know the next time I drive the Si. It's almost time to put her away for the winter, as the snow will be flying soon and road salt will the litter the roads up here in the Northeast...plus I don't want to spring for the winter tires n wheels! Rides are getting fewer...

    I'm not thinking that the pulsing is related to either tire hop or the clutch slipping. I can feel this pulse, or slight surging through all the gears (I could understand tire hop in first or second gear maybe), and the rpms don't seem to fluctuate (at least not audibly or on the tach) so I...

    Thanks zroger. The more I read, the more I see that the boost psi and exhaust smell is normal.
  14. New member with couple of questions

    Ok, so I've owned my Si for a couple of months now and logged about 1500 miles. I love the car but a couple of things just strike me as being odd. First, I thought that the turbo was rated for 20psi. Why then is the max I can squeeze out of it 16psi? That's at full throttle, through any gear...
