This has irked me ever since I bought the R. The temperature, tach, and fuel needles are all yellow, which is a color that appears nowhere else on a very red display. If I'm not mistaken, the Si's needles are red, at least in sport mode. Is this for better visibility during high-intensity...

The company I work at is getting bought in a couple days, and hopefully within the next week or so we should all be able to cash out our stock. What this means for my Si is it can be totally paid off far ahead of schedule :D This brings me to an interesting decision I didn't think I'd be...

I don't think I'll ever really come to terms with the eyesore that Honda put on the back of the Si sedan, so I'm playing with the idea of doing a bumper swap. Would a bumper from the non-Si sedan work? They're the same chassis, so the only problem I can think of is the exhaust.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphs on KTuner's site that show the improvement in throttle closing time. What I'm wondering is, for those of you who have the disable, what are your shift times like? When I first tried the rev hang disable it seemed amazing, but I'm starting to wonder if it was a...

I've had my eyes on it ever since the Honda Access parts were announced, and I found it for sale here. What I'm curious about is the weight. I haven't been able to find a number on the Honda Access site; I quite like how heavy my skunk2 knob is, so it'd be disappointing if this thing were...

Normally I wouldn't go out of my way to check out a car show as dinky as this, but I saw HPJ would be there and figured that was a good enough reason to get outside today. Of the Hondas present, it was mostly run-of-the-mill 8th/9th gen Si cars with the usual decals + loudness mods. My...

Don't mind the nastiness on the mirror. It was my first time using Plasti Dip, but the overspray isn't anything some Goo Gone didn't handle after the photo ;) I took it to a touchless wash immediately after peeling to make sure the stuff would hold up; as you can see, it's still nice and black...

Anyone experience this? My Si is still practically new, but two times now - today being the second of which - it's taken a couple seconds for the starter to finish whining and get the engine going. I don't remember the circumstances of the first time, but today it was really hot. The hud on the...

I'm sure this is considered heresy to Si and Type R owners, but I actually prefer the throws of the vanilla 6MT Civics. The Si's shifter is too clicky and precise for my tastes - with no regard to the length - I like my throws to be almost literally throws. How would one go about getting the...

I know there are CivicX decals, but I don't really want to stick anything on my car, CivicX or not. However, I'd totally be down to buy a black license plate frame with the CivicX logo on it. Penny for your thoughts, @Administrator?

I love my Si, but one thing I'm definitely jealous about regarding the Type R is the badge that fills the otherwise empty space below the shifter. I know the Si isn't as exclusive as the Type R, but I think it's still niche enough! I found this thread with an Etsy link for Type R production#...

Greetings from the Si board! Now that the Si is actually out and all of the VW and Ford shills are gone, it's a pretty nice place. Anyway, I got a nice surprise yesterday on I-275 when I saw a black Type R. Sadly I couldn't do much about it; the guy was at a dead stop in a backed up exit lane...

I've been wasting time online since long before adblockers were a necessity, so it's pretty annoying to have obnoxious, obtrusive ads hidden and then get nagged about it ;) This is especially bad for mobile browsing when the ads actually slow down page loading (for me anyway) and can cause...

How many of you new Si owners have gotten unsolicited compliments/comments on your car? The 10th gen is already a sweet-looking family of Civics, and the Si just turns it up a notch. Yesterday at the gym this is where I'm obligated to mention that it's CrossFit one of the guys I kinda know...

If you saw my other thread, you'll know I've been dealing with 3 separate newish/new cars over the span of about 4 months. If not, now you do. Seems like once I get the hang of downshifting in one, it's time to switch to the next car :D Thankfully that won't be the case this time. For those of...

Alright, so I finally got my red sedan :) I'll label the sections of my post so that if you don't care about one you can skip it. 1. My car history Other than a short stint with a Buick Park Avenue, I've only owned base-level manual Civics. At 17 I inherited an '83 2-door hatch in screaming...

At some point next year, I hope to own my first turbocharged vehicle, and it'll be a 6-speed (Si, or hatch as a fallback option). To everyone experienced with manual turbos, what sorts of changes should I be looking out for, compared to a NA manual? Let's say for example's sake that the turbo...

I've read all sorts of things online about how stock security systems, even in modern cars, won't make a peep from the alarm while someone's smashing your window open and taking whatever's inside the car. I'm hoping someone here can redpill me on the pros, cons, and pricing of aftermarket theft...
