  1. So confused what I should drop $2k on.

    The only thing you need to do to fit that size wheel is do the fender tab mod (bend up the tab near the front turn signal) or you will find it rubs the tire over bumps and dips....possibly more depending on the amount of lowering.
  2. Are the SI’s overheating on track?

    The best thing you can do for heat management is to get the heat out of the engine bay as soon as possible through the use of hood vents. It will also help improve the cooling efficiency of the radiator. I like these Trackspec ones personally.
  3. Replacement grill ideas or recommendations

    I do still have it, but for the price you can buy these aftermarket grills shipped to your door...Idk if I'd be able to offer you a better deal
  4. Porsche gt3 or Audi rs3 brake cooling ducts?

    Yeah I agree you are mostly paying for their hardware more than anything. Still cheaper than a set of brake cooling ducts and nearly the same results according to the testing from Honed albeit on a completely different car.
  5. Porsche gt3 or Audi rs3 brake cooling ducts?

    Thanks for sharing! I've been looking at getting something like this for my Miata after also reading favorable brake test results. Honed Development makes a kit that clamps the air guide to the front sway bar. Once I finally purchase a kit I'll test it out on the Civic first to see how well it...
  6. As far as suspension goes, what can I do next ?

    Oh wow thanks for heads up. Now I know where I'll be ordering my rear collar set from.
  7. As far as suspension goes, what can I do next ?

    @pinhead66 Spoon sells their collars as separate front and rear kits for that price, whereas the Magic collars are one inclusive kit.
  8. Fun second car ? In addition to the FK8.

    ND2 Miata is the answer! In all seriousness though, with the current macroeconomic climate being uncertain, right now is not a very good time to get into any big financial purchases unless absolutely necessary. If you can wait to purchase a second fun car, you will probably end up saving a ton...
  9. AutoX guys and alignment.

    The front bar on these cars is not something I would recommend installing by itself. I put the Whiteline bar on with the Spoon Rigid collars. Installing a new clutch/flywheel is also a good time to do it. The benefits I noticed were increased turn in response and the front end feeling flatter...
  10. SoCal Mountain Drive

    Sunday should be good for me.
  11. Front bumper flap

    They were found within the front fender category. Rear strakes are in undercover. Their purpose is to deflect air away from the tire and help out with fuel economy. I bet if you removed it you wouldn't even notice a difference.
  12. Mitsubishi MHI Drop-In Turbo Upgrade - CARB Approved for Civic Si

    I'm in CA too and staying CARB compliant is also my goal. If you haven't done the Hondata flash tune I'd really recommend starting with that first. It will really wake up the car and give you more enjoyment. It's honestly more than enough power to get yourself into some trouble.
  13. Mitsubishi MHI Drop-In Turbo Upgrade - CARB Approved for Civic Si

    @Hondidy1.5 I'm no turbo expert, but a turbo that flows more air will most certainly have the potential to make more power. Where it makes it in the powerband is the more important question....and while I haven't reviewed any dyno graphs of this specific turbo, all the other aftermarket turbos...
  14. 2018 Civic Si Trade in or private party resale value

    Just got another quote from Carvana last week. In one month the value dropped over $4k down to now $16,556. I don't plan on ever selling either, but it is just nice to know what it is worth in case I did need to liquidate,
  15. Intake wrap

    The heat reflecting tape definitely works. A turbo blanket might arguably be better at keeping underhood temps down since it is the main source of heat. A turbo blanket + heat tape is winning though. I just checked the job I did on my car. Happy to report the tape is holding up great over a...
  16. sold the Si, got some parts i never used, take em for cheap/farewell boys

    I'm interested in the Power Bleeder if you still have it. I'm right off the 15/60 fwy but can meet you anywhere as far north as the 210 or south as the 91 fwy.
  17. 2018 Civic Si Trade in or private party resale value

    Carvana just sent me a $20,915 offer last month for my 2017 Si with 52k mile estimate.
  18. Spring rates

    I'm running bigger sway bars than most, Whiteline 27mm front (soft) and 26mm (stiff) paired with their lowering springs (4.5k front and 5.1k rear). With this setup I have absolutely no issues rotating the car on track and it doesn't beat me up everyday driving since the Si is still my daily...
  19. Some questions from a new Si owner

    Sorry wouldn't really know. I'm sure they all have their own secret sauce. Really it just comes down to price and brand preference as I'm sure any high quality synthetic 75w80 GL-4 gear oil would work about the same.
  20. Some questions from a new Si owner

    @MeiWare I'd look into changing the transmission gear oil with something better like Amsoil, Motul, or Ravenol. These cars only have a tiny 1.9 quart capacity that makes it real easy for the oil to break down under hard driving conditions. I changed mine out at around 30k with Motul and noticed...
