  1. 8th mile times.

    We knew they were evenly matched, that's why him and I staged together so we wouldn't have to go against the real big boys. We were just racing the clock. It was just the joy of showing people that not all imports are slouches. She was the only import there last night. It was a joke for the...
  2. 8th mile times.

    So I haven't seen any 8th mile threads on here. 8th mile tracks have become pretty common in my area, more so the 1/4 mile tracks. A couple friends were going to track to test their cars, so I took my stock 19 sedan to the 8th mile last night just to see what she would run. Nice chilly temps...
  3. Simple question

    Well... the Si was never meant to be a drag car. The Si has always focused more on suspension upgrades. And in that department it trumps every Si I have ever driven. Asking why the Si is slower in a drag race is like asking why a Hellcat doesn't perform better in an autocross. That's not the...
  4. 2019 Civic Si gas smell in oil

    I didn't get an oil analysis because that actually is a waste of money. To do an oil analysis on a daily driver is a waste. The oil analysis is more than what I pay for oil. So if I feel the oil is contaminated it just makes sense to change it. Especially seeing how you have to change it anyway...
  5. 2019 Civic Si gas smell in oil

    Well I've been running a shop for 15+ years and don't pay for oil changes, so it's not a waste for me. I've been doing this a long time so it's not speculation or opinion. MM lights are not a perfect science. I see them all the time telling people they still have plenty of time, and the oil is...
  6. 2019 Civic Si gas smell in oil

    Yes. I do as well. I don't think the oil dilution issue has been solved. I'm pretty hard on mine, so I'm sure that's why mine does. Most direct injection engines are going to have some oil dilution. I change my oil on every car every 3000, synthetic or not. For me it was pretty noticeable about...
  7. Is it even worth tuning the Si?

    I wasn't trying to say that, was just comparing those two cars specifically. There are plenty of imports that will tear up a drag strip, Supras and RX7s are beasts on a drag. And the all wheel drive Escorts were handling machines in its day. It's not really an import/domestic thing, more of a...
  8. Is it even worth tuning the Si?

    It's all about purpose. I daily my Si and don't plan on any crazy mods. The car really is a beast for the purpose it's built for. A 5.0 mustang can't compete in that department. One of my employees has a 2011 mustang with a tune, exhaust, and a few other bolt-on and always likes to talk shit, so...
  9. Where Do You Prefer to Get Your Car Serviced?

    I run a small shop and do it myself. As long as the place you go is trustworthy and capable, that's all that matters.
  10. Got Him!!

    Mine hangs with the big boys all the time. My coworkers 5.0 mustang has to work for his wins. And I've taken a few 350Zs. Left one 350 by about 2.5 lengths. And if there are any turns, forget about it, she holds strong with Camaros and Mustangs, no problem. Maybe it's a driver thing because my...
  11. New Performance Grille for 10th Gen Civics

    Were you able to reuse your Si badge on the grill or did you have to get a different one to fit that grill?
  12. New to the forum, just bought a '19 Si Sedan

    Made a few cosmetic changes since I last updated this. Got a badass Si placard for the center console and put a few stickers on it (well, because stickers make it go faster). The only stickers I'm going to put on it. Went with flat black so give it that ghost effect so it's subtle, but there if...
  13. Any info in the 2020 Si yet?

    Seem the new Civic Sport Hatch but nothing on the Si.
  14. K&N air filter

    May I ask as to why?
  15. K&N air filter

    Yea, I'm not expecting a huge noticeable difference in power. I know that the horsepower gains are purely marketing. I just know with turbos it's all about getting the air moving efficiently, and curious if anyone noticed a more responsive turbo spool or better throttle response. Besides them...
  16. K&N air filter

    Is anyone on here using a K&N drop in filter? Are you seeing any noticeable changes in performance or mileage?
  17. Oil changes

    Actually 0w20 comes in a blend as well. I offer to customers who don't want the super high cost of synthetics. But I would highly recommend a full synthetic in any direct injected motor. All direct injected motors are subject to oil dilution and the synthetic will hold up to the strain of fuel a...
  18. Does your SI pull to the right or left?

    A good alignment would compensate for the crown of the road.
  19. Does your SI pull to the right or left?

    That doesn't mean anything. Dealer techs are not any better than little shop techs. I see the dealerships screw up just as much as anyone.
