That is awesome sir. Sounds like you need to join some of us at parking lot autocrosses and see how that thing really handles. I'm 78, and have been an enthusiast since early teens. I was into drag racing for years with big V8s, but got into SCCA Autocrossing at age 43 and have not looked back...

Indeed, Mark Daddio...still kicking butt wherever he runs...great guy...

Thanks. Done, except space was limited to three vehicles.

To the admin...how do I update my vehicle garage?

Have you sold this yet? Let me know if you still have it or not. Thanks.

ANYTHING would look better without the camouflage...

Very well written piece by the OP...pretty much on point with the entire piece... Kudos sir...

I don't know about you, or what you consider driving hard in the mountains, but I simply would not do it on all season tires if you are an aggressive driver in that environment. But we all have our own thing, so this is not intended to criticize...have fun with your Type R, that is what it is...

It would be perfect if it were available in a coupe...hatchback coupe preferred

It sounds to me like you may have a worn or sloppy motor or transmission mount.

Hey, I drive a 4x4 Laramie Ram diesel...nice truck...I also drive a Honda Civic Si...I admire all cars that catch my eye, regardless of brand...:drive::thumbsup: That said, Try being a geezer driving your 2019 white pearl Si Coupe, with a Tire Rack sticker across the upper front windshield, and...

Yep, that's another one, but you have to learn brake/acceleration modulation to properly execute. The first thing is getting students to get on the brakes and slow down before entering a turn. With experience, they may not even have to brake, just a lift to slow entry, transfer weight to the...

The fastest way through most turns or curves is to slow down...In autocross, we have a saying..."slow down to go fast." Your tires are the limiting factor, but it takes some degree of experience to realize when you have reached that limit. There is a big difference in tire screech and tire...

Indeed...the one and only...the one I sold him was red. I think the white one was one of his championship cars. The one I sold him ended up with an SRT 4 drive train...he called me a few years ago and asked if I would be interested in buying it back after the swap, but I had already moved back...

The OP is lucky he doesn't have a wall full of tickets for rolling through stop signs. Personally, and I have been driving stick shift my entire driving life, I begin shifting down to 3rd, release clutch for engine braking, then shift to second, slowing from engine braking even more, and may...

I'm 76, born in 1943...Street racing was a thing long before I was born...Take up Autocrossing and find a club in your area...you learn vehicle dynamics and car control, and much more fun than drag racing. Honda Civics fare very well in their respective autocross classing in SCCA. Most clubs not...

That sucks, but hopefully you are only a couple years from retiring and things can change. I too had an ACR, 3 of them in fact, and the first two new, one sedan single cam, zero option car, and one couple twin cam car that eve had air. I bought one used in 2007 and redone it, engine, trans, etc...

Interesting thread...one that I personally can identify with. I'm 76.5 years old and have owned mostly performance cars most of my adult life, from a 63 Plymouth Savoy SS Max Wedge making 425 hp to a new C 6 Corvette Z 51 pkg car, and many in between. I bought my 2019 Si coupe in late December...

I was a cop for a long time, almost 30 years total. The judges in most counties would laugh an officer out of court for bringing a 5 mph over ticket...unless there were extenuating circumstances such as cutting in and out of traffic, school zone, or extremely slick roadways...
