  1. Vermont Snow Tires on Steel Wheels, Used one winter

    Used just one winter* on my 2020 Civic Si sedan, barely any wear. Should fit most any Civic but it's up to you to make sure! All details and numbers are clearly pictured. Includes lug nuts. $750 obo Pickup only, located in Windsor VT 05089. As-is, no trades, all sales final, cash only. Thanks...
  2. What’s your most loved/hated thing about your Si?

    I will say that the thin paint is the only thing that's really annoying me 9 months and 7500 miles into ownership. It's not even the hood chips, that's just gonna happen. It's the door sills, that Honda apparently paints with watercolors. Even the slightest brush of your soft pantleg will cowl...
  3. What's your SI looking like today?

    It looks like winter is finally over here in Vermont, so I swapped out the winter wheels and tires.
  4. SI an old Geeezer car

    That checks out, I bought mine last summer at age 49. After many years of boring family cars, it was time for something a little more entertaining to drive back and forth to my new job.
  5. What's your SI looking like today?

    We’ve had a couple of days of good weather here in Vermont. So I ran through the touchless wash on the way home then finished up with a whole lot of Griots Garage SpeedShine. Cleanest it’s been in months. We’ll see how long it lasts.
  6. What's your SI looking like today?

    Finally getting a brief warm-up in this cold and snowy Vermont winter. So I dropped some coins in the pay-n-spry and hosed all the salt and crust off of her.
  7. Si w/ snow tires = ?

    Agreed, and the LSD makes a noticeable difference as well. 225/50R-17 Continental VikingContact 7 on steel wheels
  8. Transmission Fluid

    Straight from a Honda engineer (not a tech at a dealer, an engineer now much higher up) about my Si manual gearbox when I asked him about cold weather notchiness... "Amsoil or GM Syncromesh are just as good if not better [than Honda fluid] We also kept GM Syncromesh for problem cars with...
  9. Lloyd’s red floor mats proper red

    For the Ultimats, looks like this is what is available now for reds... https://www.lloydmatsstore.com/ultimat-floor-mats I'm ordering a set for the front this spring, and I think I'll go with 409 to best match the dark red in the seats.
  10. BUYERS REMORSE?! RAGRETS?!

    I think that's a perfect summation. If you are expecting more (stock at least) then you are setting yourself up for disapointment. A lot depends on what you are coming from, so from where the OP started, I can see how he'd be underwhelmed. For me, I was coming from a boring commuter Prius so...
  11. Handling in the snow

    I went with 225/50R-17 which, in hindsight, I could have gone narrower, but they are fine. A little narrower, and taller, than stock. I wanted as much sidewall as I could fit. If they could handle this last storm (40" of snow overnight on Wednesday) and driving around in the mess that has...
  12. Handling in the snow

    Just did my first snow drive in my Civic that I purchased this summer. -1, 17" steelies and good snow tires. It did great, no issues.
  13. New Battery already?>

    Sounds like if you need to replace the OEM battery early, you are better off getting a high quality, non-Honda battery to replace it. Noted for the future.
  14. resist all

    My dealership tried to sell me an expensive "Interior Protection" package, which I obviously declined. Last week I spilled some water on my back seat. It beaded up and ran across the cloth so perfectly it looked like a snake :), so obviously, it's "Scrotchguarded" from the factory. The lesson...
  15. What’s your most loved/hated thing about your Si?

    Perception is everything, right? My Si replaced a 2010 Prius, the Si is faster, quieter, more luxurious, sportier, and basically better in every way than what I was used to.
  16. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Gave it a good interior clean and vac. Swapped on the winter wheel and tire set a couple of weeks ago.
  17. 2020 si oil dilution what should I do

    2020 Civic Si, just over 3000 miles, my oil lever has remained constant and no gas smell. I'll keep tabs on it but I think Honda has this problem sorted after the early CRV issues. https://www.cashcarsbuyer.com/did-honda-fix-their-turbo-engine-problems-2019/ The factory powertrain warranty is...
  18. What's your SI looking like today?

    I bought this as a fun, year-round daily. Just put my Miata in storage for the winter. We also have a RAV4 for the worst winter days.
  19. What's your SI looking like today?

    Salty. :( #vermont
