  1. Got Him!!

    So, awhile back I was lamenting that I raced a VW GTI and got beat by a car length. About a year earlier, the same GTI beat my Acura TL by about a car length, so to make it worse, he beat my SI the day b-4 I installed my Ktuner, 19/23 map. On my way back to work after lunch, I pull next to the...
  2. SI an old Geeezer car

    I'm 68, and the SI combines the best of every little sports car I've owned over the years. I've had MGB's, Austin Healy Sprites, Triumph TR4A IRS, Alfa Romeo Giulia (1966 model), Corvair Spyder, '65 Mustang Hi Po. I do have a Ktune on mine, but I love it. Probably have it til' the end (mine).
  3. So I pull up next to a GT350 Mustang...

    I don't doubt it, the Mustang sounded wicked just idling, he was probably just giving me a thrill. From what I've heard of them (GT350's) I was kidding myself, I'm not telling the wife though!:nixon:
  4. So I pull up next to a GT350 Mustang...

    I had the same thought, but it sure sounded like he stood on it. I'm sure after 90 he would have left me in the dust. I am on the Ktune 19/23 tune with rev hang disabled. I supposedly have the TSP tune, but never have been able to load it. That being said, the Ktune 19/23 is a blast.
  5. So I pull up next to a GT350 Mustang...

    The wife and I were driving along a nice new stretch of 4 lane and pull up next to a new Mustang GT350, which BTW sounds absolutely wicked, and we ease away from the light, at about 25mph he nails it, so for a grin so do I, and damned if he pulls me by a car length, and we stay just like that up...
  6. Children speak the truth

    In 1963 I was 13 years old, and walked past a Chevrolet dealer on my to and from school. One day on my way home, there was a silver '63 split window sitting in front (1st one I'd seen). I was awe struck and stood there staring at it, and a salesman came out and opened the hood for me and then...
  7. Rollin' Coal

    So, maybe a year ago I was at a car stereo place getting a speaker replaced on an old truck I had, and there is a guy in a hugely lifted 4 WD Chevy. It had giant off road tires that would have to make a lot of tread noise on pavement. The owner is standing there and I say "bet that thing is...
  8. 3 Things You LOVE about Driving your Si...

    It puts a smile on my face every time I climb in, even just commuting to work. It is a joy in the corners and I long to take it down to the Ozarks to hit the twisties….but, I also own a Honda Interceptor motorcycle, and leaning over till the peg's scrape, makes it my favorite back road...
  9. Joined the KTuner world

    BTW, I want to give 2 thumbs way up to Corey at TSP. He was very patient with me and explained every step I needed help with (I'm 68 years old). Thanks TSP, you made this old hot rodder very happy!

    I've had my Ktuner for a week now, and still on the Ktuner tune. For whatever reason, I cannot load my TSP1 onto my Ktuner software. Got an email into Corey @ TSP, hopefully we will get it resolved. Car is a blast on the Ktuner map 19.5/21.5, runs like a scalded dog. Can't wait to try out...

    So, when you load the TSP1 map do the other 3 load as well?
  12. Joined the KTuner world

    So, ordered the Ktuner V1.2 from TSP Monday, got here Tuesday. After a rather difficult evening Tues. trying to load this unit, I gave up, and re attempted Wednesday morning, and after a call to Ktuner was able to load the map to my ECU. I hadn't received my TSP1 map yet, so I loaded starter map...

    OK, Just ordered a Ktuner V1.2 from 2 step, got my CivicX discount too. You guy's have turned me to the dark side. Say a prayer for my DL!
  14. How old are y’all

    I'm 68 in May, bought my SI April 2018. I'm a life long car nut (even bigger motorcycle nut). I love the little devil so far and am just on the edge of ordering a K tuner. Other than Weathertech floor mats and tinting all around, it's stock. Mine is Rally Red, and I also own a 1999 Honda VFR800...
  15. The manual transmission is not dead....yet

    I bought my SI Sedan (RED) in April of '18. My thought at the time was this may be the last car I ever buy (I'm 67). I wanted a MT because of the new super complicated auto transmissions repair or replacement costs. With a MT I might need a clutch someday, but in all my years of diving MT's...
  16. How many do NOT mod their Si what-so-ever???

    I bought mine in April of 2018, and other than weathertech mats, I haven't done anything. Seeing as I am not a "stoplight to stoplight" street racer, and the car is a blast to drive, and runs through the gears so earnestly, I am pretty good with it. as it sits. I wanted something fun to drive...
  17. Clutch delay valve question

    So, am I correctly thinking that if I remove the "clutch delay valve" rev hang goes away?
  18. Something I don't "get"

    I don't need the fastest car on the road, I'm seeking "feel" which I admit is subjective, and as a sportbike rider, I like responsive vehicles. I can flfill my need for speed and street dominance any time with my bike. Look's like I have a tuner in my near future for my occasional need to...
  19. Something I don't "get"

    Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my SI a lot. When driving this car at partial throttle, say 1/4th to 1/2 throttle the car feels really good, like a proper sports car. But when you full throttle it, it feels really strained and loses that sports car "feel". No longer feels "punchy", but...
  20. All season Goodyears NOT a good rain tire

    A few days ago, after coming home in the rain and cursing the traction issues, the wife and I left in her 2017 Subaru Forester, which had no issues what so ever. Almost bought a WRX before deciding on the SI, still think I made the right choice.
