What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[gtman]

is that all highway? My Si is struggling hitting 25 city driving

25 in the city with a tune isn't bad at all. I probably get maybe 26-27. 35-40 on the highway easy.

That's about the size of it. I avoid the highways like in the second Matrix. They are rock chip minefields.

No doubt. Unfortunately, I do a lot of highway and my poor car's paint has the battle scars to show for it.

Yes it’s mostly highway plus I drive to work at 3am it’s also a 25 mile trip one way
No traffic in the early morning unfortunately I don’t get that mileage on the trip home I’m in the thirties which is still good

Put in my Mishimoto intake, sounds pretty good!

Blew something in my valve train from the sounds of it.

Oh man. Any more details?

I remember you were runnning an OTS tune with an upgraded turbo and overboosting badly. IIRC.

Yeah, that doesn’t sound normal. I hope it’s not something serious? Does still drive normal?

Brought it to Honda because I think it’s out of my realm of diy repair. Have not heard what it is yet. They found out my mods fast despite my efforts to hide them lol.

I have barely driven it since it happened but when I have it’s clearly not happy with knock control increasing every time I am on throttle.

Whatever the outcome is (hoping for the best) post that info in the tuning thread, OK?

That is correct, I had it on for a day before I removed it.

I received and installed my generic heel plate today. Autocovr (who made the dead foot pedal in the pic) only sells one with Type R or Si, but I'm sick of wearing through my floor mats, so generic is fine.

Got it from Amazon and it's really solid with nice rubber slip stop bumps. All hardware is included. The tool that comes with it is a punch to hammer the bolt holes through the mat (pic below). This sucker bolts on and is no joke 1/8 or 3/16 aluminum! Nice quality for $23!

Ion... What's your current tune/ mod list?

I know you had a K&N intake. Did you wind up going custom on the tune?
