  1. 1.5T rough idle (feels almost like misfire)

    I have the exact same issue. I don't remember this happening in the first year of owning the car, now it's happening on every long drive, every day. Duplicated the issue for the head foreman at my local dealer. They re-torqued the seat bolts so I don't hear the rattling anymore. This is what it...
  2. Mystery Passenger Seat Rattle Solved

    Hi, I have experienced this - it is so noticeable that the passenger seat belt rattles against the side of the car. The seat itself is really vibrating. It doesn't feel like a problem with the seat rail track but I will see if the dealer will check it out. Did it sound similar?
  3. How to drive a turbocharged car

    Yeah that's af annoying voice. Better video
  4. Received GReddy Sport Hatch Exhaust

    Me too I would appreciate a couple indoor vids. I liked the massive puddle splash - Sonic Grey Pearl :thumbsup:
  5. Civic hatch vs mazda3

    Yep, I'm really excited about it. Rear cross alert and two other upgrades would have been really appreciated - blind spot monitoring and heated steering wheel.
  6. Civic hatch vs mazda3

    I test drove the Mazda3 right before I drove the Civic. I felt the Mazda steering feel was a bit better/heavier and the suspension seemed a bit more firm. So in that sense it felt a bit more 'true' -- but the Sport handled slightly better, and even though the steering was a bit lighter in...
  7. 1.5T 10 Speed Swap for CVT...... Possible?

    How will it compromise the suspension? I wonder if it could be tuned so eco mode was stock, D +3, and S +6
  8. 1.5T 10 Speed Swap for CVT...... Possible?

    With a flash +6 psi I imagine 0-60 times are low 6. I'm interested if it's affordable and doesn't compromise the chassis, doesn't seem likely. At least it's a smooth fairly responsive CVT, good city and great highway mileage. I don't want to risk ruining tranny/warranty issues for the sake of a...
  9. Heater/temperature settings

    I don't mind cabin temp - it's very insulated, warms quick - seat warmers are also super fast. Just odd when sometimes seems to be no noticeable difference from 15.5 and up. Wondering if it's a minor car issue or a quirk and it vents to desired temp gradually and maybe on occasion gets confused...
  10. Heater/temperature settings

    I have the exact same problem and will get it checked out on first scheduled service apt
  11. 1.5T CVT Slip after tune

    I had this happen one time as well, running stock. It was a hard deceleration though, 80% brake power, and a loud thump I don't know if it was simulated, it did concern me.. I was not in S mode - were you?
  12. Drastic dropoff in MPG in cold weather, rain

    I've had the car since mid-November, driving 90% city in winter conditions (-10C to 5C) on light alloy snows. I'm averaging around 26-28 mpg, mostly carefully in eco-mode, which seems pretty good. I just wish the tank was 20% bigger, fueling up every 300 miles is a bit annoying. Can't wait to...
  13. "Rattling" sound while idling and around 1,500 RPMs

    I've also been experiencing this in my new vehicle, only 1500km... sounds like this video <> I noticed it a few weeks ago, now more frequent, always in the 1800-2200 range. Taking it in Thursday.
  14. Wheel Locks

    Hey everyone. Went to get my tires/wheels swapped today for my winter set... only to discover there are no wheel locks. They are not with the spare tire or in the trunk, and not in the glove box. I think they are supposed to be taped to the jack tools in a black bag. I really have no idea where...
  15. Curbed Wheel - 18" OEM Hatch ST rim

    Turns out it wasn't that bad and won't affect performance... just gonna roll with them for now :D
  16. Damn good gas mileage!

    Would that still apply if you used the paddle shifters and geared to maximise throttle efficiency in every situation? I am gentle during break in, always in D w cvt, just short bursts.. coasting past cars, except the odd sleeper civic which fly past. Eager to know how a full tank in S mode...
  17. Damn good gas mileage!

    I would agree with those numbers. I'm only on my second tank (91 octane) but I can tell that city will be in the low 30s and highway 40-45. Really happy that I can maintain 120-125 km/h and still get that sweet mileage. Plus the weather is cold here and I might get even better numbers in the...
  18. Curbed Wheel - 18" OEM Hatch ST rim

    This morning I clipped a curb at very low speed but there was some noticeable wheel damage and slight tire rash. I'll take it in to a garage to get it checked out. Probably not worth repairing. Anyone selling one 18" OEM wheel (sport touring trim) ?
  19. Official SONIC GRAY PEARL Civic Thread

    Well said. I do like what DivisiOn has done with the car. It absolutely pops but it is subtle. Can look bad-ass at times under dim or orange light in some underground lots. So far in 2 days, 3 guys in their 20s, a middle-aged woman, and a huge cop have stopped to compliment me on the car and...
