  1. Anyone else have this valve cover?

    So, how many horsepower do those add? Anyone dyno their Civic after install? Do you need a tune or will the stock map be alright?
  2. My 10th Gen Si handles better than any previous Honda I have owned.

    Iā€™m still exploring the limits of my ā€˜20 Si, but I am very impressed. It definitely handles better than ā€˜00 EM1 B16A2 Civic Si. The older Si would push its front end when driven towards the limit, but the newer one seems to have more and more to give before losing composure. I recently got off...
  3. Still here after 2 years of Si ownership

    The LEDs are really impressive in beam pattern and intensity, but I do wish they were adaptive. That would be sweet on mountain roads at night. I also disabled all the driver aids except collision avoidance. Itā€™s completely unobtrusive until traffic on the freeway comes to a sudden unexpected...
  4. Still here after 2 years of Si ownership

    Yes! And no way I would trade the ā€œimpureā€ driving experience of my current Gen Civic to daily any of those beasts.
  5. Still here after 2 years of Si ownership

    Regardless of whether or not the ā€œengineā€ noise is pumped through the speakers, virtually EVERY single car on the market has its induction noise ā€œengineeredā€ or tuned to sound a certain way from inside the cabin. BMW, VW, Lexus, Ford, Acura and other mfg use electronic sound enhancements. The...
  6. Still here after 2 years of Si ownership

    2018 is a horrible year for the Si... Oil dilution, faulty clutch, defective second gear that grinds, but most importantly than all of that... Three words... no volume knob jk. I made up all that stuff. Except the volume knob. Thatā€™s true. But in the end... ALL Siā€™s MATTER
  7. 4.1 vs 4.4 final drive ratio

    2020 Si Sedan, observed this morning... 6th gear: 2500rpm = 63mph 3000rpm = 74mph 3250rpm = 80mph Thatā€™s perfectly fine for highway cruising under most circumstances. The motor does have a hint drone at 3k rpm even with sport mode off, but thatā€™s a byproduct of the tuned induction noise...
  8. 4.1 vs 4.4 final drive ratio

    Pretty much the same thoughts I had about a new 20 vs slightly used 19... The gearing is pretty negligible, because I ride a street bike with a 1st gear that redlines at 55+ mph and 2nd gear that goes to 75+ mph. I know itā€™s apples to oranges, but itā€™s my perspective. Debating gearing on a...
  9. What’s your most loved/hated thing about your Si?

    First brand new car I bought was a 6th gen 2000 Civic Si in Electron Blue Pearl... You know the one that recently sold at auction for $52k! The car magazines and reviewers LOVED that car. 1.6 liter VTEC with a 8200rpm redline that produced 160 HP (100 HP per liter). There was so much hype with...
  10. My Civic Si was stolen this morning

    I know you said OC, but what city was this in? Americaā€™s Tire is my go to tire shop, and Iā€™m also in OC. I want to avoid that location. Could be an inside mole to a car theft ring. I used to own a brand new 2000 Si, and that thing was a theft magnet. Parked it out of sight in an apartment...
