  1. Si's have defective clutch?

    Are we sure that there isn't any adjustment points that we can compensate from? I haven't tinkered on Honda's since my B-series projects with Y1 trannies with cable clutches. But back then there was a simple adjustment knob on the cable.. when you first detected slippage you could simply dial...
  2. Please test my theory to achieve smooth shifts.

    I understand perfectly.. I've been doing project cars since the late 80's. I was just pointing out that what the OP was crediting to doing this or that ... it was likely just the TIME he was taking to do it that was helping...not the act itself. BTW- understanding and confidence comes in when...
  3. Are all Nissan Altima drivers douchebags?

    Ah, the stories I could tell about road morons. My favorite, and this has happened more than a couple times.. is the moron who gets all indignant about being passed so he rides my bumper just as I'm about to exit the highway on a 2-lane chicane... at about 95mph, never hitting the brakes. "If...
  4. Please test my theory to achieve smooth shifts.

    I think its the delay in this process that you're doing that is causing the difference..that's what is helping.. not what you're doing during that time. Just giving a half second to one second delay between clutch engagement to the gear shift.. that always seems to help it snick into gear...
  5. No Crush Washer

    I have seen them crushed so bad that it was hard to tell if it was just part of the pan or not.
  6. Si interior “mod”thread

    I think I had the best interior mod at one point.. on a 1990 Integra GS (had a built B18 tho) i had a nitrous kit installed.. but along with it was a stainless steel soda tank filter conversion, a servo activated Y valve to a modified regulator, and then a line that went to my dash that ended...
  7. Showing me your civic in the snow

    This makes me love working from home.
  8. Leaving it stock?

    As someone who had over a dozen project Honda/Acura's, I wouldn't. All my project cars were done the way I think makes the only sense.. they were total rebuilds.. bought with blown engines or some other reason that they were almost given away. Perfect rebuild platforms. My 2019 SI was my...
  9. New Owner of a 2020 Si Sedan: Why I Bought it and Impressions after 600 miles

    Yeah, I don't do shit anymore. I grocery shop once or twice a month.. the store about .75 mile a way. The original tank of gas lasted me 4 months+... I'm still working on the 2nd tank... I got to fill it up once. I did take it out on a fun run though once.. visited a couple state parks nearby...
  10. New Owner of a 2020 Si Sedan: Why I Bought it and Impressions after 600 miles

    Nice write up. Man, I'm almost jealous.. I have had mine for almost year and it barely has 800 miles... the result of working from home. I almost miss the commute now...almost.
  11. Finally got the spare tire kit installed

    No one I know has ever had a flat tire... except on a situation that they were going to see how far they can drive a bald tire with cord showing. And tires have come a long way in the last 50 years, way less likely to fail now. I would rather save the weight as well. On my last Civic I...
  12. Hit the curb while turning

    Yeah, if you don't feel anything while driving I wouldn't worry about it. And maybe compare both front tires after another couple thousand miles and see if one is wearing any differently. Otherwise.. an accurate application of some emery paper can probably make that scuff all but disappear.
  13. What can happen if you use the wrong spark plug?

    Worst case scenario is that it'll have a different depth and seat into your cylinder too far and the piston makes contact. That could explain a bent rod. If this was true it would be pretty obvious by inspecting the plug.. the end would be all smashed.
  14. Feature bitch!

    Oh, my bad... I forgot someone did say that hill assist was different... Okay, I stand correct on that point as well.. That indeed is the case.. only on steep hills do I notice it.
  15. Feature bitch!

    And I'm telling you that it still engages without being on. Hopefully others here can substantiate a similar experience.
  16. Feature bitch!

    I'm telling you that it comes on for me and I never turned it on.
  17. First Si

    Grats on the new toy! I hope those jumper cables in the fore ground weren't for the Civic!
  18. Windsheild wiper fluid

    You could either restrict the vinyl feed tube (try a small paper folder clip, keep over extending it to weaken it to get the desired pressure, or you could try a slight kink) or bore out the nozzle a bit. If you bored the nozzle more might ultimately come out doing this but it would be under...
