  1. steering angle sensor problem after alignment

    The subframe was dropped for my trans fix and afterwards the steering wheel was about 35* off to the right. I installed the magic collars and got an alignment today. After the alignment my steering wheel is now straight but I have a Christmas tree of lights. They took a 2 mile test drive and he...
  2. ktuner stopped working

    My ktuner v1.2 stopped working today after 4 years. I've had tunerview lite on the head unit for all 4 years and 78,000 miles to display the data, and in the middle of a drive it disconnected. It's worth noting it disconnects on a weekly basis for all 4 years, probably happened 300 times over...
  3. stuck in security mode

    The car sat for 5 weeks and the battery must have gone flat. The battery is fully charged now but the car must be in security mode. The head unit screen won't turn on in acc mode. The power locks only work when the car is on acc mode. The red theft light is blinking super fast and the car...
  4. Brake job, AP200 service mode

    About to replace pads and rotors and considering purchasing the $50 Autel AP200 to put the eebrake in service mode. Is it worth it just for this feature or is there a work around that isn't too difficult? If the work around is risky, I rather just buy the tool.
  5. L15B7si and L15BE compatibility

    I have an L15B7si motor with blown bottom end and an L15BE pulled from an Accord with a broken camshaft. Will the L15B7si head work on the L15BE block?
  6. Lower cover replacement 74110-TBA-A00

    I drove over something metal today at 55mph, looked like a 2" receiver ball off a trailer hitch or something. It was ripping around under the car for about 4 seconds and was unbelievably loud. Lucky or unluckily it only ripped up the under cover behind the aluminum splash guard. I believe this...
  7. replacement engine running super lean

    Friend installed a new 17k mile junkyard motor from rear ended 19si into his 19si. Just started it up and it rough idles. Showing misfires, presumably because it's super lean. Ltft is at 4 and stft is at 47! Why might this replacement be running so lean? I first looked for an intake vacuum leak...
  8. Cherry Bomb Turndown

    I just made a Cherry Bomb Turndown pipe and was going to see if the community would be interested if I made more. I'm test fitting this first one and have 4 more cherry bombs and flanges to make more. Just gauging interest. I'll likely cut a balogna tip once I check the angle when mounted. Might...
  9. Smoking after prolonged idle. Turbo or PCV?

    If the car idles for a long time with no load, then I drive away it smokes like a forrest fire. After about 20 seconds of driving the smoke clears and will never return unless I sit idle for 5+ mins again. Seems like the turbo is leaking as it only happens with no load. Or maybe the PCV but I'm...
  10. si blown bottom end

    Just got a call from my friend on his way home from work. He was cruising at 60mph in 5th or 6th not accelerating. Sounded like he hit something, which he didn't, and then shaking and smoke and he pulled over and saw the oil puddle. He took a couple pics of the damage. He said he found a motor...
  11. EPA lawsuits

    We all know catless downpipes are no longer available on the new market as a result of EPA crackdowns. I just read that 6 months ago EPA threatened a $180,000 fine to a small speed shop in Colorado for selling 37 hondata s300s in a two year span. PFI speed had a disclaimer "for race cars only"...
  12. Radiator or intercooler cover when cold?

    Has anyone considered covering the grill or intercooler like a diesel? It's been sub zero this week in Iowa and I consider this a lot when it's this cold. Once the car is warmed up the ECT is about 16x* instead of the targeted 17x* and actually drops when idling at a stop. The intake temperature...
  13. How expensive is your insurance?

    How much are you paying for insurance? This year my liability is $184 and collision is $279 for $596 every 6 months, so $1192 a year. This is quite a bit higher than last year. I've been with progressive for a long time. They seem to be easier on me for speeding tickets, which I had one last...
  14. No floor vents, help troubleshooting

    My 19 si rear floor vents have never worked. The front floor vents work but the rear under seat vents have never worked. Hot, cold, ac, recirculating, no air ever comes out the under seat floor vents for rear passengers. When I put it on floor, floor/ defrost, dash/ floor the front floor works...
  15. VSA off Ktuner

    The VSA is too aggressive. Stock is the worst. The 3 options In advanced VSA in ktuner are still too intrusive. This leaves VSA disabled in Ktuner, which I run. I still find this too aggressive, even with the VSA off button it still doesn't allow wheelspin. This creates a horrible bouncing and...
  16. Oil deal and lowlifes

    Have to vent a minute... For those that don't know the Mobil1 deal going on lately you can buy Mobil1s top oil the extended performance in 5w30 for $24-$15 rebate so $9 per 5qt. You can do this for 2 jugs per rebate so I've bought 5 pairs or 50qt for under $100. Anyway Walmart delivers the 2...
  17. Clutch and brake fluid reservoir

    The clutch and brake share the same fluid reservoir. My wildwood clutch master cylinder is leaking again. How does this affect the brakes? I haven't noticed mushy brakes yet but don't always get full clutch engagement with mushy clutch now. Sure enough its leaking down onto the clutch pedal. I...
  18. Bad Eibach Pro Kit springs

    As per title I think my Eibach pro kit springs are bad. si sedan kit: E10-40-036-02-22. From the beginning the right rear would squeak. I found all top 7 coils of the rear springs compressed with only the bottom coil doing the work. When comparing to other springs I think this is common but...
  19. Low brake fluid warning

    I took a right corner pretty hot and before exiting Low Brake Fluid light came on for 1 second. It was maybe 35mph and not yet sliding so not as quick as 100 times before. The brakes have never been serviced and still have some pad left and feel great at 35k. The rear rotors look worn vs the...
  20. MAP/ARP Head Studs

    Im trying to purchase the MAP head stud kit but it is currently 6-8 weeks out. https://www.maperformance.com/products/maperformance-l15b7-headstud-kit-16-20-honda-civic-1-5t-17-20-civic-si-hdax-hsk?variant=31510542483526 I spoke to MAP and they are just using the studs for the gsx 1300/hayabusa...
