  1. Jerky throttle in traffic in 2nd gear

    It’s the drive by wire throttle as it is an on off switch. Just treat the pedal like a baby chic, not an egg cause that’s too strong, and use first, not second, and you’ll get the hang of it. It’s easier in first to just slightly have the throttle pressed than it is in second where you have to...
  2. Got Rear Ended, Seeking Advise!

    I’ve been an insurance adjuster 15 years and have never seen this situation workout. People never realize how much it cost to repair cars and end up fighting over it. Plus, the rental you will need while in the shop. Just report it to your ins co and let them take care of it. I would also file a...
  3. Type-R Haunts my very soul (LOL)

    I’ve had the same thoughts but not necessarily a type R. I’m 42 and have been driving integras and Si’s since the early 90’s. Several wrecks from going around curves too fast ( in my younger days) having mostly always had fwd, and mostly Honda’s, I’d say I’m pretty damn good behind the wheel of...
  4. Civic Si Summer Tire Ordeal (rant)

    These low profile tires are great for handling but it really doesn’t take much to pop one. When you feel a harsh bump, that’s the rim hitting the road as the tire is all the way compressed. A little too much and or on something a little jagged, game over. And yes, AAA strives for great service...
  5. Civic Si Summer Tire Ordeal (rant)

    Most all the manufacturers use AAA for their roadside assistance in the States due to their network. I actually work for AAA so I get free membership. I had they same problem but I was 20 miles outside Charlotte in the country. Got the car towed to the dealer and then waited 2 days as I also...
  6. Who here has had a GenX Si for a short time, but has either traded or thinking of trading it in?

    Have known a few people with pilots and they are nice. Just too big and don’t need that 3rd Row seat. And not a soccer dad. The Passport has a little more ground clearance, sportier suspension, steering, throttle response, and just a a sportier look. Under floor storage in the rear that is just...
  7. Who here has had a GenX Si for a short time, but has either traded or thinking of trading it in?

    Yeah, I really like em but am looking at the ExL trim. I wanted AWD but the price difference has me debating. I drove it last night and oh my god my back and butt instantly felt so much better. Rides VERY nice too even with the 20” wheels. Pretty quiet but not like a Toyota. So nice to be able...
  8. Who here has had a GenX Si for a short time, but has either traded or thinking of trading it in?

    You might be confusing the Passport with the Pilot. The passport is new this year. It is essentially a Pilot with its rear end cut off and no 3rd row seat. There are some used ones but they are discounting the new ones so much a used one doesn’t save much here.
  9. Who here has had a GenX Si for a short time, but has either traded or thinking of trading it in?

    same here. Almost traded for a Passport tonight but dealer pissed me off. Will likely still do it here soon as I’ve about had it with this torture chair they call a seat. Looked at the 4Runner but think they are WAY overpriced and VERY old. It badly needs a major redesign but they do have a...
  10. Advice on selling my '19 SI Sedan in white.

    I agree with everyone as far as returning it to stock. You’ll get more money in total that way and appeal to a broader market. Even people that mod would rather do it themselves and it can make people think it’s been abused. You’ll get the most money by private sell as you know. But, private...
  11. In case you guys were wondering...

    Crane operator!?! What’s it like being way up there like that? How do you deal with the fear of it toppling over? And what in the hay are you putting in that rack?
  12. Who here has had a GenX Si for a short time, but has either traded or thinking of trading it in?

    Appears about a 54% residual pending what all is in the 48k amount. That’s really not too bad. Would be curious what the MF is. I’m currently trying to work a lease on a new Passport that has a 66% residual, which is crazy high! The MF is kind of high for my taste but they say they are popular.
  13. TPMS false alarms

    I had mine light up on a road trip not too long ago. Pulled over and checked the pressure in all 4 and is fine. Maybe about 4 lbs over the recommended amount which was fine since I had been driving 70mph+ for a few hours. Anyway, put an extra 2 lbs in and went on my way. Next day, checked em...
  14. How much does insurance usually go up after a wreck?

    I haven’t had anything in years but my daughter had 2 major accidents. Ours went up $50 a month the first time and nearly doubled on the 2nd. I recently added my younger daughter and they doubled it to where the monthly payment was more than my mortgage. Shopped it and got it cut in half by...
  15. Ever surprised by who you see driving an Si?

    I’ve seen more coupes than sedans and about an even split on a guy or woman. Most all have looked 30-40ish range. Not one has ever even looked at me. Bunch of people with the gear shift stuck up their I see the typical boy racers in the Subaru’s, frs/brz, and hyundais. Those bastards ALWAYS...
  16. Considering trading my '17 Si for a '19 Si...

    haha! That was a joke!
  17. 300hp si reliability?

    For that kind of power you’re probably better off swapping in the 2.0t. It will be Interesting to see if that ever starts happing a few years down the road when a used 10th can be picked up cheaply.
  18. What is with the LOUD mechanical noise Si makes at shut down?

    Never heard this electronic steering wheel lock. Do hear the whirling noise of the ac though.
  19. Engine backfires and Warning Lights 19 SI

    Definitely sounds like your friend took a fast and furious ride to the store and grabbed the wrong gear. It’s either that or you yourself did the over rev at some point in time. If not, some friend to be driving your car like that.
  20. What do you guys predict the 11th gen Si will be like?

    I don’t see them doing much performance wise to the motor. That 1.5t is going to be around a long time. Honda has never seemed to care about raising the power in the Si. I don’t see them changing that now. I don’t see them doing away with the coupe either. I’ve seen 2x the Si coupes ve sedans in...
