  1. Brakes

    I turned rotors at the front ( in 2003 or 2004 ) The car was on a lift, with the wheels removed, they placed a sort of tool that machined the rotors, without removing them. The engine of the car was at iddle, at 2nd gear to drive the rotors. I' ve never seen anything like it before. It was a...

    An SI is like your girlfriend, you shouldn't lend it out !
  3. 9th Gen Si Wheels on 2017 Si?

    I wish I could help you. For my part, I bought 17'' of the 8 th generation for my winter wheels. The spokes were rubbing on the calipers which are much larger ( those of the Accord v6 ) on the 10 th generation. I had to grind them and everything is fine. In my opinion, you have going to have the...

  5. Average age of Civic Si owners(Survey completed, average = 35.62)

    I'm sorry, I' m almost ashamed, I' m more than twice the average, but it's not my fault that I like SI. I won't buy a minivan or a SUV like the other old people, it's not my nature. I am going to keep my SI as long as I'm able to drive it. Ii

  7. Is it even worth tuning the Si?

    I bought my 2017 SI coupe without seeing it or driving it.There was no one at any Honda dealer. I ordered it and waited almost 2 months. I decided to modify so that it meets my expectations, that it be to my taste without any INFLUENCE from anyone or to IMPRESS anyone. I had 2 Mustangs in my...
  8. Engine just blew!!

    I agree with chaleswrivers : It is the torque that bend the rods with the huge pressures that the pistons put on them. But, in addition, there are the accelerations that the rods suffer by their repeated alternating motion hundred of time per second. The whole thing eventually weakens the...
  9. Winter Tires

    I have always ridden with TOYO OBSERVE with my previous SI and ACURA. With the 10 th generation, I preferred to buy the OBSERVE GARRIT model: they are a little expensive but we feel a great difference in handling and stability at high speed. I do not regret it. My dimension is 215-50-17.
  10. Things you don't LOVE about the 10gen Si

    I solved the problem by replacing the fabric with synthetic leather for both the console and the armrests. You will find this on E-bay, it is cheaper, effective and it makes the cabin richer and more comfortable.
  11. Sound change with downpipe only vs exhaust only

    I changed the original DP to an AFE Takeda DP almost 2 years ago. I haven' t changed the rest of the system because the SI system is quite efficient and I think the other systems bring more noise and drones than HP. As it is, the sound is quite low, pleasant to hear and no drones. I found it...
  12. Anti-theft alarm system

    Have any of you installed one ? Is it effective ? I don't know anything about it but some people tell me that it discourages thieves because it is harder and slower to neutalize than the original system and it is noisy. I would like to read your comments, Thank you.

  17. Replacement of rims

    I have just replaced the original wheels that I find beautiful but to heavy ( 29 lb ,8 in) by Cosmis RT 206 R ( 24 lb, 9 in ). Immediately, I find significant improvement in handling. The new rims widen the front and rear tracks by almost 2 inches and , in addition, the lighter rims help to...
