I have Modern Steel Metallic and it looks amazing. Black looks great too but I don't like having to wash a car that much and black is too hot for southern california summer. I mostly get silver cars because I am lazy and they are easiest to keep clean but I think Modern Steel Metallic looks a...

I was just testing today and I could get a slow shift if I held the clutch in instead of just tapping it. Generally I shift about 5k rpm and by the time I am in the next gear it is 3k rpm. Unless I am really trying to go fast then it is redline shift or go slow in a parking lot then it is a...

I don't have any jerk and the rpms drop faster when I let out the clutch fast like that. The slower I shift or leaving in the clutch is when the rpm hangs. The trick is to give it exactly the right amount of gas to not excessively slip the clutch.

How can it take 2 seconds to shift? My shifts are as fast as I can pull or push the shift knob. If I said "One One Thousand" I would have the clutch out before saying "thousand". So like .5 sec? I don't keep the clutch held in at all waiting for rpm to drop. I tap the clutch to the floor...

I wanted a slower car. I felt like I would eventually die or get in an accident in my tuned wrx. I wanted a manual transmission with 4 doors and decent handling. Mission accomplished! I drive like a sane person now (mostly).

Also (if you didn't know already) you can set your trip odometers to reset automatically if you want which I thought was really cool. I have my A trip reset on engine start and my B reset on gas fill up. Then you can toggle between them on the mpg info page with a quick press of the trip reset.

What octane gas are you using? 91?

I had a wrx for 5 years before getting an Si a couple weeks ago. I could change the oil on it for $25 with no tools in 10 minutes - had a fumoto valve and the oil filter is up top. Not worth the cost but more so the time of having someone else do it. Changing brakes and rotors very easy too...

The coup has 1" less front headroom which is ok with me (with the seat lower) and 2.3" less in the back which is not comfortable for me.

I am 6'5" 230lbs and fit great in the sedan. I have plenty of head room even with the seat almost all the way up (although I keep it down lower). I like to drive with the seat pretty far forward (when my butt is all the way back in the seat the steering column comes to my knee if I put it...

Bedding brakes is something you from inside the car :) You just find a good place to do some hard stops after going fast (but not all the way to a stop) repeat that several times then afterwards keep driving with as little braking as possible to let them cool off.

They would use an air wrench set to a specific torque which I would assume it generally works fine but then they aren't the one owning the car. It took me a few hundred dollars worth of rotors for me to be religiously exact with my lug nut torque. It only takes a couple minutes and a torque...

I got a 2020 Civic Si sedan this weekend for $28k out the door. The price was $25k before destination charge, CA taxes and fees. They gave me over $16k for my almost 6 year old WRX so I didn't push and was in and out in 2hrs including a 30min test drive.

Having not all the same torque on the lug nuts can warp rotors (like when someone else rotates your tires and they are careless). When I had a cadillac this could happen pretty quickly because it was a big heavy car and/or something specific with their rotors. I'm not sure how susceptible a...
