  1. Got Him!!

    So, awhile back I was lamenting that I raced a VW GTI and got beat by a car length. About a year earlier, the same GTI beat my Acura TL by about a car length, so to make it worse, he beat my SI the day b-4 I installed my Ktuner, 19/23 map. On my way back to work after lunch, I pull next to the...
  2. So I pull up next to a GT350 Mustang...

    The wife and I were driving along a nice new stretch of 4 lane and pull up next to a new Mustang GT350, which BTW sounds absolutely wicked, and we ease away from the light, at about 25mph he nails it, so for a grin so do I, and damned if he pulls me by a car length, and we stay just like that up...
  3. Clutch delay valve question

    So, am I correctly thinking that if I remove the "clutch delay valve" rev hang goes away?
  4. Something I don't "get"

    Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my SI a lot. When driving this car at partial throttle, say 1/4th to 1/2 throttle the car feels really good, like a proper sports car. But when you full throttle it, it feels really strained and loses that sports car "feel". No longer feels "punchy", but...
  5. All season Goodyears NOT a good rain tire

    It's been pretty dry here in the Kansas City, MO area, so I haven't had to drive this thing in the rain much...but when I do the car seems to break the tires loose, every time the turbo spools up! I have to feather the gas and drive really smooth to prevent it. Not a good sign for the coming...
  6. 1st speeding ticket (in the SI)

    So, at 67 years old, and an avid sportbike rider, I have gotten my share of speeding tickets over the years. I got pulled over by the Missouri HP for 86 in a 65 zone (I had just shifted to 6th). I have a lawyer in the family, so haven't had a "point" for years, but what was unusual for this...
  7. Noooo.....

    My Red 2018 Civic SI was bought new in April. End of July I was at work and we got a hailstorm. I have zero deductible comprehensive insurance (thanks Dad! his long ago advice) cost's me just an extra $30.00 every 6 months. So, Tuesday this week I pick her up from the body shop, and it's...
  8. Alternate Horns, same mounting location

    I'm getting ready to remove my front bumper cover to install my yellow foglight lens covers. I would also like to install a new horn at the same time. Any suggestions for a louder horn that will mount in the same location? Don't really want an airhorn, just something louder than stock.
  9. Low speed surging

    I bought a bright red 2018 Civic SI in April, now has about 2300 miles. When I am cruising along at barely part throttle the car seems to surge, then decelerate, then surge, then decelerate, almost like it's missing. I'm wondering if I have the throttle on so lightly that it is my foot doing it...
