I used small bungee type cords to loop through the seat cover head fasteners, then I wrapped the bungee cord around the headrest. It looks and works great
Congrats on your Si. I ended up trading in my 2018 MINT stock Si coupe w/PS4s tires with only 9K km to a Toyota dealer back in September and it’s still to this day sitting there. Seems these Sis aren’t as popular up in Canada as in USA, or the dealer is shit-for-brains
I shouldn’t be doing the job for a local Toyota dealer, but at this time I feel I must step in.
I traded in my Rallye Red 2018 Si to Pickering Toyota this past September and probably due to their incompetence, they have not been able to sell it thus far. It should have sold quickly.
The car is...
As I said, the list of small annoyances, such as the cheap fabric Upholstery which is a magnet for skin marks and chipping paint etc etc can't be ignored. So it goes well beyond wanting to speed with it.
But really, I have absolutely no regrets with this new Corolla hatchback. It's the smartest...
aside from already mentioned, this car just requires too much care and attention to keep it in the condition I want it in. Plus I'm always tempted to floor it and destroy the speed limits. Already got my first speeding ticket in 18 years driving it. One more within 3 years and I'll be considered...
Just picked up a new 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchback XSE this week, myself. Although it can’t handle or is as quick as the Si, it’s a overall better car in quality and looks inside and out, I think. It’s also a pleasure to drive and not have to worry about the jerky 1st to second shift and awful...
I wouldn’t say I get creeped out by the attention, but Iv grown used to and flattered by the attention my red Si coupe gets. I’ve gotten so many compliments and long looks that I’ve lost count or don’t care to notice anymore.
My last compliment was at the gas station, where a flatbed tow-truck...

They attach by looping the bottom seat section under and behind the seat. But it’s a tight fit. Because the Si has one piece sport seats and no separate head rest, I had to thread special bungee cords...
Civics are ubiquitous in Toronto. I don’t see as many Si or Type R obviously. But I generally see more CTR than SI. when I do see a CTR and Si, it’s an event. Such pretty cars. You don’t realize how nice your car is till you see someone else with one
Yup they're pretty great. I have lingering back pain, and a day after using a chainsaw my back was DEAD all day while at work the other week. Time came to leave and I settled into my si seats and the pain instantly vanished. Like settling into orthopedic seats. The 25 minute drive home was...
Everyone's got their technique. But I don't downshift gears when stopping at a sign or light. I put it in neutral just before a stop.
But I see the reasoning in engaging the clutch and putting it into first just before the stop, and driving off again in 1st. Maybe I'll try this
Just wondering how many of you all come to a complete stop at stop signs with the Si. And if you don’t, how often? Other MT car drivers chime in too. I noticed when driving mine, most times instead of putting it in neutral and coming to a complete stop, I prefer to leave it in low gear and very...
They will even over-inflate when car is in for service. Mine were pumped to low 40s on two visits. Either they’re stupid or the air gauge is garbage. That’s why I have the service guy type in no checking or inflating tires, along with no car wash
I couldn’t imagine using my Si, let alone a Type R for work related duty. These are fun toy cars meant for good roadways. You did the absolute right thing, and I’m really digging your new Ridgeline. Very nice truck!
The R looks like a super model. Love it! But I think the only thing lacking are nice center caps to give the gorgeous rims a finished look. I’ve never warmed to cars with missing caps. Also, how about installing a quality strut bar?
