  1. Portable Jump Starter

    I'm curious if anyone here has recommendations for a quality portable jump starter. My battery is nearing the 2-year mark and I've read numerous reports of our factory batteries dying young. Therefore, I've started doing some research on lithium-ion jump starters in case mine ever dies...
  2. Bringing Your Own Parts/Fluids to Mechanic

    I don't have the space/tools in my current living situation to much of my own maintenance, but I'm wondering what your experiences have been if you've tried buying regular maintenance things like oil, brake pads, filters, etc. yourself and bringing them to a shop to do the labor. Do many refuse...
  3. For Those Purchasing the Newly Released +/R tunes: Clutch?

    These tunes look amazing, but both the TSP 1+ and Phearable 1.5R recommend clutch upgrades to run these enhanced tunes. If you've bought one of these tunes (or plan to in the near future), is your clutch upgraded? As time goes on I'm hoping people will report back on how their clutches are doing...
  4. What Is Your Average Length of Car Ownership?

    With this generation Civic Si soon to be over we'll be getting fewer and fewer 'brand-new' Civic owners joining the forum, and it seems the frequency of "I've bought a new car" threads has been increasing lately. This got me wondering, how often do you all usually keep your cars? Speaking mainly...
  5. Si vs. Forte GT vs. GLI

    GLI beats the Si by 1 point, despite the Si winning the 'Powertrain', 'Chassis', and 'Experience' categories, and the Forte winning the remaining 'Vehicle' category. I think few would argue the GLI probably has the nicest interior/most comfortable ride, and exterior looks are subjective, but I...
  6. Noise When Decelerating

    I think I noticed this yesterday after installing my V2 for the first time and flashing the Phearable Stage 1.5, but today driving around the city made it much more obvious. Every time I'm decelerating and get below 10mph (in neutral) I hear this faint whine/electronic-sound increasing in pitch...
  7. Feature You Didn't Expect to Love?

    Any aspect about your Si that maybe you didn't care about at first, but eventually realized was really nice? For me, I didn't know the Si came with dual-zone climate control and doubted I'd use it that much, but man, not having to fight over the cabin temperature this past year has been an...
  8. Front Bumper Air Spoiler

    Couldn't avoid a running over a blown tire on the highway. Thankfully I was able to just towel off the tire marks, however the rubber under-body spoiler has been partially torn off. Anyone repaired this themselves yet? The part seems cheap enough 71110-TGG-A00, but I want to make sure replacing...
  9. Type-R Auction

    https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rbbnMlNy/2017-honda-civic-type-r Any bets on what it will sell for? Reserve must be at least $30k.
  10. Sold: FS: 2019 Si Wheels $700

    I am selling the stock Si wheels from my <1 year-old 2019 Civic with the Goodyear A/S tires. Currently <10k miles on them, 0 track days ( :( ), pretty good condition and I'm not tuned (yet) so they haven't had to handle anything more than stock power. Since there's one that was lightly rubbed...
  11. Notchback or Fastback?

    How do you prefer coupe or sedan trunks/hatches? Sloping down in one sleek, straight line? Or with an additional angle to spice things up? Seems like after decades of notchback dominance the fastback design is becoming more and more pervasive in car designs, from traditional sedans to even SUVs...
  12. Detailing Services

    My car will have its 1-year birthday this summer and I've been considering getting the exterior professionally detailed (once all the stay-at-home stuff cools down). Being that I'm living in an apartment, washes have been infrequent at best, and I do now see a few spots with what look like...
  13. If you had ~$160,000 to spend on a new car, would you buy an Acura NSX?

    With the Honda crowd we have here, I'm curious to know how many would choose to buy Acura's (and Honda's, technically) halo-supercar if they had the money to do so. Decided I'd make this a poll with a few other new options around the NSX's price range.
  14. Which Car Would You Choose to Cannonball?

    When tasked with trying to drive from New York to Los Angeles in the quickest time, these guys chose a silver E63 sedan. Not a bad choice, but I'm wondering what other good sleeper options could be out there. 2017 Chevy SS, for example...
  15. Were You Able to Buy the Color You Initially Wanted?

    Being that SIs are not exactly a dime-a-dozen, I'm curious to know how often people wished the dealer had had another color option from the one they purchased at the time. Personally, I was between the grey and the blue, and waited a long time before finding a dealer with a sedan in one of those...
  16. Fancy Valve Stem Caps

    Just a "small" question for those of you with aftermarket valve stem caps on your wheels ;) Plastic or metal? I see some pretty nice looking shiny metal ones on amazon and such, but then I also see comments about these being more likely to corrode/seize up. Should I stick with plastic ones if I...
  17. FS: OEM Cloth Armrests

    Thought I would get these out on the internet just in case anybody was looking for some. Original armrests that came on my 2019 Si Sedan, removed after about 1 month and 1k miles of ownership. Pristine condition, looking for $110 shipped for all 7 pieces, $80 if local. Magazine serves as proof...
  18. Lightest (But Still Good Quality) Rim

    Since the U.S. Si doesn't come with a temporary tire, I am looking to buy a 5th wheel to take with me on long road trips should an un-patchable puncture occur. I figure since this wheel will rarely (if ever) be used, I might as well look for a lightweight option so it doesn't weigh down my trunk...
  19. Body-Style Additions

    I am a big fan of how diverse Honda has made Civic line-up. With so many trim, body-style, and transmission combinations, I really think there is Civic for just about everybody looking to spend less than 40k on a car. However, I've seen people still wishing for even more options, so I thought I...
  20. Types of Window Tint

    I will be looking to get my rear windows tinted pretty soon, but had a couple questions I was hoping to get some input on. The place I'm considering going to offers three "levels" of tint material; dyed film, carbon film, or ceramic film. When I asked them the difference between these three...
