I got to 121 in my Si going up a mountain on the freeway. That's when I learned my front splash shield screws had fallen out - the air popped the front out and it scraped the road. I spent the rest of the 5 hour trip driving slower and slower to try and keep it from popping back out, stopping...
I had the Hikari ACME-X and they were fantastic. All electronics onboard, so no box to stuff somewhere (plug headlamp harness directly into the bulb). They also have rotational adjustability so you can get the best throw and cutoff.
Pending sale.
Selling my K-Tuner V1.2. I've got the TSP Stage 1 (Stock and PRL RACE MAF) and TSP Stage 1+ (Stock MAF) tunes for Si (2017-2018) included (tunes locked to the serial no. of this K-Tuner). I've got the original box, the original USB cable, and will include the OBD splitter I used...
I've removed my battery countless times with no auxiliary/backup power source. The car doesn't lose anything meaningful. It will perform a brief recalibration for the first 30s-1m you're driving, but that's it. My car had the battery pulled for 6 weeks one time, started up and performed its...
I first upgraded to the XS Power D5100 which required cutting of the battery box and modifying the tie down bracket. It moved around a bit during hard driving, so I replaced the box and bracket and got the Super Start Platinum from Oreillys.
The Super Start is a good battery for sure, but it's...
When asked about that disclaimer regarding limited slip, Amsoil clarifies they mean clutch/friction-based limited slip differentials. We have a helical gear based LSD.
I just traded in my 2018 Si Coupe with 30k miles with all its mods, including ACT clutch/flywheel, lowering springs, yonaka exhaust, 27won cold air intake, 27won rear motor mount, godspeed camber arms, a bunch of body braces, etc.
They inspected it and simply gave me a trade-in offer of $20,000...
Si has the 10 speaker system with a discrete 10 channel amp in the outer passenger kick panel. Unfortunately it receives a proprietary digital optical signal from the head unit so it's not easy to replace with aftermarket parts.
Yes the amsoil 5w-30 synchromesh is correct. Due to differences in the viscosity rating it's actually the similar viscosity as something like 70W85 gear oil. Why amsoil chose to use the engine oil scale instead of gear oil scale is beyond me.
Yeah, they really upped the game on everything for the new gen. The only thing really lacking is more comprehensive skid plates, but they're going to want $10,000 more for the ZR2 Bison or AT4X AEV edition next year to get those.
