  1. Aluminum skid plate under the car got loose and bent. Worth it to replace?

    I think it was the dealer that didn't reinstall it properly on the last oil change but they won't own up to it. It costs $180 Canadian to replace it. If I just threw it out and didn't put it back on, can anything bad happen? Rust on the exhaust? Not any more than the exposed muffler/tips I would...
  2. 1.5T OEM CTR exhaust on a 1.5T hatchback sport?

    Is this a straight swap? I've done a bit of reading and I know I have to trim the rear garnish a bit. I don't know exactly where but I know I do. But Is everything else just a straight swap? Meaning, I can still use all the existing bolts, mounting points/brackets, etc? If someone could show me...
  3. Non-SI/CTR owners, how often do you drive your car hard/ do WOT pulls? Any issues?

    I know the tuned+reliability thread covers some of this but I figure the focus was specific enough to warrant its own post plus it includes non-tuned users. You can define (and preferably clarify in a comment) what it means to drive hard. Whether that's tracking, autocrossing, 1/4 mile, street...
  4. Is it normal for new window visors to squeak when opening the door?

    Hi I've never owned window visors before. I got the EOS ones and I just installed them. Whenever I open a door, which I guess flexes the frame a little, the visor squeaks and creaks a little. I've made sure all the adhesive is pressed down and while the brackets don't do a whole lot, they are...
  5. Help me understand BBG and Advanced VSA (with a CVT)

    So before I do anything crazy, I want to understand exactly how these work and what is within the bounds of safety, specifically with a CVT. Although I am going to buy the TSP stage 1 tune really soon, I am currently using a dual 21/eco tune with quick adjustments and early spool turned up. 1...
  6. 1.5T PRL vs Mishimoto Intercooler?

    Looking to get one of these with stock pipes/stock turbo. Mishimoto is a bit cheaper but from the specs, it seems the PRL is larger. Any issues with increased turbo lag or fitment? I have the 27WON CAI that I am going to install soon too. Does one cool down faster than the other? Any input would...
  7. Driver door armrest wire harnesses stuck!

    Are these things glued in?! I'm doing a faux leather replacement mod so I need to take off the door panel. All 3 of the other doors' wire harnesses came off no problem. Very little resistance to do it. But the driver door armrest has two wire harnesses for the added lock/mirror buttons and both...
  8. 1.5T At what IAT do you start to see heat soak?

    I don't trust my own butt dyno so I'm relying on yours ;)
  9. Those with Honda Hack, what do you use for your startup video?

    I wanted something short but also symbolize the car starting up+speed. I like using the Millennium Falcon going into hyperspace or more literally The Fast and the Furious interior engine shot. What do you guys use?
  10. 1.5T With a CVT, it's said to not apply high torque at the low end. At what RPM is no longer considered "low end"?

    Basically I'm asking if not from a dead stop, what RPM is safe to WOT? We cruise at like 1500 RPM so once we hit 1500-2000, we're good to go WOT without damaging the CVT long term? Specifically I'm using the Ktuner 21psi map with quick adjustments.
  11. Trouble removing center cap on my aftermarket wheels

    They are a cheaper brand RWC. I want to pop off the center cap and measure them to see what I can replace them with. I've heard of two "easy" methods using a suction cup and forming a tongue with duct tape and yanking it out. If I take off the wheel, can I pop them out from behind? Any other...
  12. Is it possible reflashing to factory tune changed oil life from 30%-50%?

    EDIT: :doh: Whoops just noticed the other thread regarding a similar issue. I'll post there, just ignore this one So a couple of days ago, I noticed my oil life was at 30% so I booked an oil change for tomorrow at the dealer. I reflashed back to factory tune (this could be unrelated and...
  13. How to make a Stage 2/ Stage 0 or 21psi/18psi on eco button tune?

    I know nothing about tuning and am petrified of screwing anything up. I've been using the Dual 21psi/eco tune but the eco button doesn't have enough go for me even when I want to be economical. How hard is it to make a tune that has the base map Stage 2/Stage 0 on eco or 21PSI/16PSI on eco? If...
  14. 1.5T Downpipe + Frontpipe? Or just downpipe? (catted) on stock exhaust?

    Is it worth getting the front pipe? From what I understand, it adds minimal power gain so is there a point of spending the extra money? Does it make it louder? If so how much approx?.
  15. Is 21psi basemap safe on the CVT with CAI+DP+FP+Catback+Intercooler?

    This is the setup I'm in the middle of building. I know the basemaps are safe and these are simple bolt ons but most discussions are about the 6MT and I understand the CVT has much more stringent limitations, especially with torque. This is my daily that I plan to keep for a long time and I...
  16. Which Mishimoto Intercooler?

    https://shop.teknotik.com/forced-induction/turbo-cooling/intercoolers.html?category=?&id=215&make=2&manufacturer=70&model=9&year=135 https://www.procivic.com/p/ym/2019/civic/mishimoto-universal-intercooler.html?ctid=4035 By the end of the summer I'll have the dual 21psi/eco Ktuner tune, CAI...
  17. Anybody have any experience with the Remark exhaust?

    Have a sport hatch and everybody seems to be talking about the Greddy at this price point. There's not too many clips out there and most are not from the interior. How do you like it? Drone? Does it have a decent tone? I'm not looking for anything loud so this seems to fit the bill. Of course...
  18. Tunerview Lite constantly reconnects to Ktuner V2 every 20-30 seconds

    I just HondaHacked my HU yesterday and installed Tunerview Lite. Everything connected and is working great but every 20ish seconds, data will stop receiving and it says "connecting to Ktuner" on the screen. It reconnects and then happens again 20 or 30 seconds later. Is this normal? EDIT: just...
  19. 1.5T How does an aftermarket exhaust sound with a CVT? Worth it? SRI instead?

    So I know both do little for actual performance but I'm a monkey and want (a bit) more sound from my daily. I'm 33 and a manager so I don't want it to sound too loud and ricey. Was thinking the Greddy Supreme. Too much drone with a CVT? Thoughts?
