  1. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    I want to start by saying that I am not advocating to people to buy EV's. That is an individual choice. I understand, people have specific needs, some people don't have access to home, work, or public charging. Some people want to row their own gears, hear and feel the sound of their engines...
  2. Saying goodbye to CivicX

    It's been awhile since I've posted here, so I wanted to give a final goodbye to this forum and to everyone. For those of you new to this forum or that recently joined, I was a previous owner of a 2018 Civic Si, and last September I decided to sell it and get into an IS350. I had a lot of fun...
  3. What have you done with your Trump bucks?

    I thought I would post something a little different from the everyday mundane questions and threads. I'm curious what you guys (and gals) have done with your Trump bucks when it comes to upgrading your cars. This is not just limited to Civic's, but any other car you own. Doing my civic duty (no...
  4. Hondata's Civic Type R fuel system upgrade

  5. To all my fellow enthusiasts

    I know this a car forum, but I would like to take this opportunity to pray and wish for the safety and health of every one of you on this forum (and it's subforums). As everyone is well aware of the COVID-19 threat circulating world wide, I want all of you to be safe. The seriousness of this...
  6. Finally got to drive a Type R

    ....and its pretty awesome! I really want to thank @TypeSiR for allowing me...let me re-phrase that, giving me the pleasure of driving his Type R today. It's pretty much everything it's hyped up to be. If you really want to know where Honda put its money in, this is it. We drove it though the...
  7. Test drove a 2017 Civic Touring, and I am disappointed at how good it is

    I am looking to replace my daughters 2006 Toyota Camry SE with a newer, more fuel efficient car. Although the Camry at almost 150K is still extremely reliable, it has a 3.3L V6 that averages 22 mpg on a good day. And my 19 year old daughter is a led foot. So I am looking at either a used Corolla...
  8. OK, I apologize. The Si's Infotainment System is really not that bad...

    ...Especially when you compare it to the New Ford Focus's, I don't know what to call it (monstrosity?). Honda, I apologize to you wholeheartedly. Ford....really???? You can watch the review on Savagegeese
  9. Honda should have made an Si hatch

    Just my opinion, but I think for the 10th Gen Si, Honda should have made a Hatch version (like they did the Sports Hatch). I normally don't notice cars around me, but I have to say, this car looks great! I love the design, I think Toyota did a great job, except for the fake tips. Agree with me...
  10. Si ended up at a Colorado Hyundai dealership

    I had read somewhere that there was a recall on certain Civic's for an electric power assist Steering issue, so since I had a free Carfax subscription from the dealership I bought it from I decided to look up my former cars VIN. I had sold it in September, and was surprised to find out the guy I...
  11. An interesting observation on Dealership Service departments

    As a car enthusiast and in the interest of learning more about cars in general, I am part of several car forums, including bimmerpost, VWvortex, Toyotanation, clublexus etc. and from going thru these forums as well as talking to people who own various different car makes, I've noticed something...
  12. This is what Honda and other auto makers should do

    A simple, lag-free infotainment system. Radio and climate controls separated with their own buttons and knobs. Easy to navigate, I was able to setup my phone on it in about 30 seconds. On Saturday someone rear ended my Lexus, so now it's in the body shop, and I was given a 2019 Kia Sorento as a...
  13. Are all Nissan Altima drivers douchebags?

    It seems to me many drivers of the Nissan Altima are just plain a holes. Let me set this up: I'm coming home from my trip from Southern Cal driving highway 5 at about 70 mph in the right lane trying to get around slow drivers in the left lane (typical of Northern Cal drivers). I pass up a guy...

  15. Product Advisory from Honda

    Looks like I am getting some sort of Product Advisory from Honda. Since we have a lot of mail theft in my area, USPS emails me a scanned list of mail that will be arriving today, so I won't get it until this evening. Although I no longer have the Civic, I am curious as to what it could be. I...
  16. Met up with JDMpo0kie this weekend!

    This weekend I was in Southern Cal and was able to meet up with @JDMpo0kie and get to see first hand the legendary BMW, Mercedes, WRX and anything that is not a V8 killer! It's always great to meet a fellow CivicX member (although I no longer own a Civic). Great, down to earth guy! I look...
  17. The importance of a good Intercooler VS CAI

    As many of you know, I owned a 2018 Civic Si until September, and I kept it as close to stock as possible. Except for a few mods like an Acuity shifter rocker upgrade, an Acuity carbon fiber shift knob (so my hand would stop burning in the summer), and TSP's Stage 1 tune, I pretty much stayed...
  18. Electric Turbocharges headed to production. Why didn't I think of that?

    Bring out the giant turbochargers, because turbo lag will soon be a thing of the past https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2019/10/17/garrett-electric-turbochargers-headed-to-production-in-2021/#491bce1d180a
  19. Question: When is an Si no longer an Si

    With all the threads going on recently about the quest for more power, and the blown motors that resulted, several members like @kshawn are now building better, stronger motors with rods and pistons that can withstand the additional torque and PSI being thrown at it. The current block he is...
  20. No, your 1.5L engine is not going to break

    Many of you have seen the recent threads on blown engines, thrown rods etc. and some of you are asking this question: Is my engine going to blow? Is the L15B7 reliable? The short answer is...yes, it's reliable. Even though it has been turbocharged, and even though it is GDI. This engine was...
