Hmm, good take. I'm really wondering if an aftermarket intercooler is necessary. Hondata said that Honda's racing reverted back to stock because throttle response worsened. Now the intercooler is blocking the radiator and in your case, you overheated on track with it. Would you recommend the PRL...
Thanks for the data, Doug from Hondata! I was looking into buying an intercooler, but your findings are giving me second thoughts. When would you recommend an aftermarket intercooler compared to an OEM one?
Yup, It might be cancelled or the Prelude might take its place. But Honda executives already said the Prelude wouldn't be a sporty car. The Si will probably come back as a sporty hybrid variant next generation, but how Honda will implement an LSD into their hybrid drives is anyone's guess.
No chance, that would mean that Honda would have to send additional millions emissions testing it. The 2025 Canadian Si specs leaked Feb 29th. No power changes, no performance upgrades.
Atrocious parking jobs. I park away from people in my good car, but still haven't mustered the balls to double park. It's clear the Subie driver is parking away from people and you just parked next to him/her. How did OP know the Subie driver was a woman?
No, most of the time, the engine in hybrid Hondas is essentially working as a electricity generator and the car is driven using the electrical motor. Only in high-speed steady state cruising does the engine clutch engage and the engine is driving the car forwards.
There's zero incentive to tune...

Check out this post for the 2025 Canadian Si. Very few changes (USB-C, google). The question is how much is Honda going to update the US Si to match the Canadian Si? I'm thinking not much due to Honda's business...
Ditch the Telsa and get the FL5. The Tesla's the least memorable car of the 3. If you sell the S2000, you'll probably regret it. I have similar thoughts with my MR2, but I always keep it. Every spring when I sit in it again, I'm reminded at how special a mid-engined car that cost $5k can be...
Yup, I think you're right. Looks like Honda is phasing out turbocharging in favor of hybridization. The next generation of Accord/CR-V/Civic will probably be full hybrid to meet Honda's electrification goals, which means no more ICE+manual.
This raises a question: how sporty will the new Type R...
Hi all, looks like Honda Canada quietly posted 2025 specs for the upcoming 11th gen model refresh about a month ago. Special thanks to reddit users Med1011998 & PNF2187 for digging up the specs and sharing (Honda Canada Corporate links posted below). Keep in mind that these are Canadian models...
I was thinking about getting one of these, but am also concerned about vibrations. Did they only occur at idle with the A/C on? How were the vibrations without the A/C on?
Would you step it up to a Type R mount before going back to the Si OEM mount? That seems like the way to go to have some...
