  1. Can the PRL Intercooler be painted all black?

    I know the Intercooler allows the stencil option that you can spray onto, so I was wondering if it is safe to spray the entire thing black at all? I don't know, the silvery white color that comes from it doesn't seem to match the rest of the car, and having it black would seemingly blend...
  2. Sulfur smell

    Before I got my 2019 Civic Si almost two years ago, I always read from people on here stating that they had a sulfur-like smell for the first 12k miles or so in their car when pushing it, and that it was natural and would eventually subside. Full disclosure, I never had this smell at the time...
  3. PSI changes at different elevations?

    Hello all, I'm from the Sacramento area (46 feet above sea level), and made a day trip through Tahoe (reaching 7200+ feet above sea level) to Reno (4506 feet above sea level). While around the Tahoe/Truckee area, I felt like my car wasn't getting much power climbing hills when at 0 PSI in 4th...
  4. Honda Hack Key Remapping question (need to reset it)

    So I jumped into the Key Remapping section, didn't really know what each bit was going to do, so when I wanted to add a custom command I pressed the Down key on my steering wheel, hoping it would then prompt me whether I wanted a touch or hold remapping. It didn't (I found out later I had to...
  5. 93 octane in California (?)

    For those who are unaware, due to ethanol restrictions in the state, no regular consumer pump sells 93 octane fuel, though we do have E85 pumps here and there. So I had done my research in the past about where to get racing fuel, and I finally started asking about it at a place in my area. The...
  6. PRL CAI hiss/whoosh noise (video)

    I hate to create a whole new thread just for one very specifically-focused question, but I don't want to hijack anyone else's thread on this, so here goes: One reason I have been hesitant installing my PRL CAI, other than fear of doing it myself and not finding a body shop by me that will do it...
  7. Install PRL CAI and IC at same time?

    Curious if there is an advantage to installing both of these at the same time, like if I did them myself. Meaning if I removed the front bumper and had the wheels lifted, would that help me install the CAI more easily? What order would I do this in, if so? Or do I have to do part of one, then...
  8. Best wheel detailer?

    I have a 2019 Civic Si. Every time I wash my car, I always seem to get some brown residue on my wheels, or at least the black part. I've tried to use degreaser product and brush at it before washing my car, I've tried to use deionized water during my rinse, I've tried ONR on it afterward, and...
  9. Best touchless air/blow dryers?

    I'm planning on getting a ceramic coating for my car. Just ordered a pressure washer (still need to find a good soap to use), and would like to go the touchless drying route as well. Anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks if so!
  10. What does the Sport Sedan have that the others don't?

    I know that they offer a 6MT option and have a teeny rear spoiler, but I was wondering how the specs rank next to the EX or something of that nature. Clearly it's not an Si, but now I'm like feuding over with somebody else how the Si is far different than the Sport... then again, I don't...
  11. Help with tachometer orange flash reading

    So my mom is no help for this, sorry about it. She just got a brand new 2020 Honda Civic EX (CVT transmission) this morning, and tonight driving home from work she said that something flashed on the tachometer that was orange (underneath the MPH), and before she could tell what it was it went...
  12. Next-gen: CTR our, S2000 revival?

    Feel free to close this thread if it holds no merit. My mom is purchasing an EX and I inquired about when the next generation Honda lineup is arriving. He said likely in a couple of years, but when the Type R is up he said he heard they are phasing that out and bringing back the S2000. Anyone...
  13. Shift knob stuck to thread adapter

    Guess I can't edit my thread title anymore... it's a Raceseng Sphereology shift knob. So I guess I didn't tighten my thread adapter enough, because when I tried to screw my shift knob in and it wasn't secured at the right point, it got stuck to it. Now it is "inside" it, and I don't know how to...
  14. Is it possible to darken a car's paint without an entirely new paint job?

    So I own a 2019 Civic Si Sedan in Modern Steel Metallic, and although it is my color of choice, it just doesn't quite sit with me in certain lighting outside. It's a bit too bright, and in a weird way (compared to that of the PMM that the Hatch offers) it has a bit of a purplish tinge to it...
  15. Engine on/off, operating temperatures, warm-up period, and everything else oil-related

    So I've understood the crux of what people have mentioned with things such as: - Let the car run idle for 30-60 seconds and wait for the RPM's to drop (giving time to lubricate all components). - Drive the car for a while to let oil reach operating temperature, especially before pushing it...
  16. How do I find a shop that will do mods?

    Every auto and body shop I have called and asked on Yelp nearby my area so far today have all said they don't do things like CAI and intercooler installs, or things like that. What proper keyword am I supposed to use in a Google search to find the right shop names that I am for some reason not...
  17. Drivable with running engine and no key fob?

    There are times where I may step out of my car for a brief moment after turning it on, and the engine is still running where I have possession of the key fob. I don't recall if it's possible to lock the driver door in this scenario, but I know that I once moved my car a lick without having the...
  18. Gas station pump didn't stop feeding fuel

    Stupid thread title. Should have said: "Topped off too heavily." Not much of a story here, but to save time for myself I'll just say that I believe my 19 Civic Si topped off well over a gallon of fuel, or at least near that much. What kinds of ramifications come into play for this? I know some...
  19. Left rear door doesn't open from inside in '19 Si Sedan

    Admittedly, I don't have many passengers sit in the back, so I don't know when this could have happened. My friend showed me the other day though when he was back there. I can control the actuator by locking and unlocking, I can open it from the outside, and the window rolls down and up (even...
  20. Gauging safe turn speeds

    So I'm new to the sporty driving life, and not like I actually do too much thrill-seeking out there anyway... but as I hear this car is a great performer on turns (given the LSD and seat bolsters) and I have summer tires on this thing, I was wondering how I'm supposed to be able to gauge what is...
