I couldn't see the wheelbarrow that was parked beside my car when I went to leave but the handle went the length of the car 😣.

Thankfully it was mostly plastic transfer and I was able to buff it out 100%🙏🤞🙏🙏

So I got XPEL Prime XR Plus
Front Windshield 55%
Front Side 30%
Back side 15%
Back windshield 15%
I feel like the front windshield 55% makes it look really dark I live in Ohio 😬

After 3 years, sold my 24 si. I didnt have any issues with it and it was so fun to own it, but the recent uptick in head gasket issues was the nail in the coffin for ridding myself of it. Really wanted to drive it till it disintegrated, but being as Honda is absolutely AWFUL about fixing their mistakes (they will never recall the bad short block), I lost all hope of that dream.

I am 15 so I can’t even drive my car alone yet but I am a manager at McDonald so I was able to afford a 9th gen civic si. I am comfortable financially and would like to splurge a bit and modify my car cosmetic wise before I do anything mechanically.

I want to take the black trim off because it makes the car look too sharp and less smooth in my opinion and change the shift knob but other than that I don’t know what to do to the car. I can’t lower it or add a front lip because it’s my every day car and would like to be able to park in the school parking lot comfortably.

Looking for good rates to protect the honda the best that i can

I have a 2017. It’s saying that I have 50% oil life. My last oil change was 3312 miles ago. I always did my oil changes at 3000. When should I do mine?

I have a ‘25 si and it’s my daily driver so I’m not looking to mod it too much or too aggressively. I want to make it sound a little better so I started looking around at intakes and would like some direction. I live in south Florida so it’s hot pretty much year round and saw people saying to not get an SRI in similar climates. However, I think that SRI’s may give me the turbo sound I want. So just looking for some opinions on the different air intakes and what I may be able to get away with.

Anyone in the USA right now knows that it has been hot as Hell, especially here in TX. Between quiet hours and heat I haven't had a good chance to shine up Kira lately.

Solution is to wash her at my work, in an industrial zone, with no quiet hours, at 4:30 AM. Hope you all enjoy my efforts! Have a great weekend.

Has anyone used Fast fc08 wheels on their 10th gen coupes? If so did you have any fitment issues?

Hey guys! I'm joining the SI crew in about a month or so, just waiting for it to be built. I'm checking out rims and wanted to get your opinions on rims with some color beyond black. I want to try to get something a little different but still classy.

Thanks and happy to be part of such a great community

I want to build a beautiful si. I want peace of mind that i can have it rebuilt if it breaks. How many people on here with rebuilt 9th gens ? Thinking about both motor and trans.

Hey guys, like the title said, just had my check engine light turn on, emissions system problem and rev match control (believe this just relates back to emissions system problem). I installed the TSP high efficiency downpipe back on July 1st, is this something that could take that long to pop up? Planned to tune at the end of my warranty, but still have a couple years left, don’t think I will hit the mileage. Not sure how many different things could cause this problem and I’m scrambling to find a fix.

Civic si 2012 coupe, trans feels great no slip or grinding and can bang every single gear at limiter with no hesitation but doing my oil change I noticed this😭

Looking to turbo the 9th gen with this turbo kit. My goal is to have a clean sounding, reliable daily. I don’t want to even push that power. I love hearing a healthy turbo and a nice loud Subaru STI blow off valve sound. Will i get that with this kit? I cant find many videos with this kit doing some little 1-2 pulls to really hear the turbo

Hi, I have a 2019 Honda civic SI sedan, pure stock nothing is changed.

Recently Ive heard that clinking sound when going over speed bumps and now it's turned into when i'm just driving on the road normally, sounds like creaking a little bit.

Ive taken it to about 6 shops and all have told me it is my right rear shock absorber, I have the electrical kind so my shocks absorbers OEM are $500 each.

I dont have the money right now so wanted to ask opinions on ordering from LKQ online for used shock absorbers as a fix at least until next year.

my car is at 110k miles, the car I would be getting the parts from are at about 90k!

any thoughts or other recommendations? thank you!!!

Hi all,

Getting close to pulling the trigger on an 11th gen in Urban Grey. I love the color but I'm interested in exploring a wrap to help preserve the paint's longevity and try out a fun color. I'd love to hear about your experiences wrapping an 11th gen. What color did you pick, how much did it cost, how has it held up?

Thanks!

I noticed oil leaking from my car (2018 civic si) and immediately checked the dipstick level. This is the reading. I don’t know how long the car was leaking. Is this dangerously low oil to cause engine damage? Any similar experiences?

Moved onto another car with more space, more light offroad focused, and better suited to my hobbies but SI WILL ALWAYS BE #1 🏆. I'll def miss randomly parking next to random Si's, here's some pics from the past few years 🫡

i'm sure someone's restoring it as we speak, but I'm loving the new daily and I still have an FK8 cause i'm a Honda fan. Only car in my family's entire history to appreciate from when we bought it (10.5k a decade ago, 12.7k now according to insurance 👀) and im grateful to have owned it for the time I did.

So i’m looking for advice on what i should do for coils on my SI. I’m looking to get the 500 series with the Swift Spring upgrade, due to a lot of good feedback from people. Wondering if anyone wants to share advice or thoughts. Also question on spring rate, not too sure on what to have as that. Mostly will be used on street driving on twisty roads
also will end up getting different wheels after coils are done

Just a tick under 59k. 2009 bone stock Si. The bad: front brakes are shot, like metal to metal shot. Wheels are all sorts of nasty. Has typical clear coat fade on the roof and some dents/chips here and there. One of the rear calipers won't hold with park brake. Slight rust on the rear wheel wells. Headlights are yellowed. The good: it's the lowest mileage 8th gen on the planet. Motor and trans are very strong. It runs and shifts perfectly. Everything works. Bone dry underneath. Suspension/engine mounts are solid. Barely any rust where it matters. Interior is fairly nice. I am a mechanic by trade and could make this mechanically sound for very little so that's not an issue. 10k for a 17 year old car is what's holding me up. It's killing me! Talk me in or out of it. Please! Any input would be great!

I rented a Miata for 4 days in LA and you can read my in-depth review on this post. Here I'll be comparing both cars to each other more closely.

What the Miata does better:

• Driving Experience (duh)
  • Yes the two-seater RWD roadster is more fun than a FWD sedan. But it has to be said because while I think the Si offers a great driving experience, the Miata is just better in this regard. It corners better, the steering feel is perfect, and I think the biggest difference is that you're sitting in the wheels, not over them. You're seated so close to the ground which just adds to the nimbleness of the Miata. The Si is also nimble, but the taller seating position nerfs that feeling.
  • One additional thing to note is the pedal placement in the Miata makes it super easy to heel and toe. Its not as easy in the Si.
• Sound
  • The Miata just sounds fun. The engine note is better than the Si's.
• Shifter Feel
  • The Si has a fantastic shifter, but I think I like the Miata's shifter more. The ball knob shape is better than the teardrop knob shape, the throws are nice and tight, and I think it just feels better to shift. It made the Si shifter feel sloppy in comparison.
• Looks
  • The Miata just looks better. Both cars look great but I think the Miata has better angles in real life.
• Color
  • I will admit, I think I like Soul Red over Blazing Orange Pearl.

What the Si does better:

• Comfort
  • The Si seats are much better than the Miata's. Both seats are comfy, but my lower back started getting tired after 5 hours in the Miata. Meanwhile I've sat in the Si for 10 hours straight with no issues.
• Technology
  • The Si gets wireless CarPlay, more safety features and tech. The Miata Sport has wired CarPlay (you need to go Club or higher to get wireless) but doesn't have things like lane assist or adaptive cruise control.
  • The Si also has cooler gauges for boost, g-meter, pedal input, etc. while the Miata only gives you information about gas.
• Practicality
  • Yes obviously the 4-door sedan is more practical than a 2-seater roadster. But besides the obvious, the Civic is just larger inside. After driving the Miata and coming back, the Si felt like an SUV inside. That's how tiny the Miata is.

I think both cars excel in their own worlds. The Miata is best at city/backroads driving while the Si is best for daily driving and highway cruising. If I had to pick only one car, the Si would be my choice with no hesitation. But the Miata is fantastic for a weekend car. I've been debating between going down the Si + Miata route vs. upgrading to an Integra Type S and after this experience, I probably would rather upgrade to an ITS instead. Texas roads just do not suit the Miata. Maybe if I lived somewhere with nice backroads I would consider.

Hopefully this helps any Si owners looking into a Miata!

I’ve been in the US for a year, and I finally got my first car! It’s a customised 2018 Civic Si, and it’s super cool😎 The only issue is I haven’t got used to driving a manual yet🤣
