    Much like the proverbial prom dress
  2. Top 10 Things You Should Know Before You Start to Modify Your 10th Gen Civic

    It’s a good read as well. I realize that this does not apply to the GDI engine that we have now, but many of the things we have questions about are answered in this book. I noticed that after I tuned my civic with a few add-ons is that by common sense apparently I fell into place with the things...
  3. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    About 6,000 miles since the 26K miles 2017 blown OEM engine was replaced with the used salvage yard 46K miles 2016 engine with the addition of the W1 big turbo. Still having fun, just dragged it in from the East Coast, still getting the occasional random P0299 code.
  4. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    It cost me a couple try driving the mountains with E85, you won’t be able to rely on your range calculator a tall. Where I live near Milwaukee it’s pretty flat and I get some pretty normal fuel economy with the 85 in there, but once you start using their turbo boost going up those hills on the...

    Washed it with my new pressure washer. Hopefully, the 190CC Honda engine on that pressure washer is carb compliant. ?
  6. Bye Bye Jaguar F-TYPE; HELLO Civic SI!

    Watching seeing Ken Jeong in the recent Xiidra dry eye commercial made me revisit the idea about getting a jaguar type F. I am not a stranger to maintaining Volkswagen diesels and my current Honda civic touring Coupe, I have always wondered what having a jaguar type F would be like. So that’s...

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

    actually, yes. I have the 27won W1 just installed on top of a 46,000 mile used engine I just finished swapping out of the car after blowing the original 26K one last fall. I’m also capable of running E85 in the event of an off-road racing situation, I haven’t changed any of the intercooler...

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

    Newly fabricated simplified mounting bracket corrected several problems. One of the old mounts was pushing against the bumper cover causing the possibility of a failure of the bumper cover. Plus, it pulled the bumper cover off kilter enough to cause problems with the adaptive cruise control...

    The Jetta TDI with DSG had very little engine braking, that was definitely pointed out in the owners manual. Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with the DSG transmission.
  16. Over 2,000 miles at 49 mpg...

    summertime driving while hyper miling, I could easily get 55 miles per gallon with this turd, it’s diesel. The problem with the TDI is that if you don’t do your own wrench turning for the scheduled maintenance, you’re going to go backwards In money. I put 220,000 miles on this car in seven...
  17. Germans take apart a 1.5T at 60k miles. And it's spotless?

    There’s a video on YouTube of a track racing team the disassembles one of these engines at 25 or 26,000 miles after running it on the track pushing out 600 hp on it. Nothing was out of whack and it was a factory engine except for horsepower upgrades. I just finished doing an engine swap after...
