My first thought would be spring binding.

I wouldn't take it to the dealer and tell them you put 5w-30 and ask them about fuel economy. At best they are going to tell you it is because of the oil and at worst they might flag you. Bottom line, you aren't going to get any answers. Run another tank of fuel. Something was wonky with your...

I believe Honda positioned the Si properly for what it is. I also don't believe Honda will give a non-manual, CVT car an Si badge. Honda has been fairly rigorous over the years on what receives the "R" and "Si" badges.

Necro-thread, but do the pedal dance to fully disable traction. You can feel the car pulling power otherwise. It makes a significant difference. You cannot maximize the car without fully defeating traction. That was my experience in 10th gen Si. I'll tell you too, my most recent experience, I...

Have you considered taking your foot off the throttle? I only get 12 mpg if I am absolutely hammering it and I've run 5w-30 since the first oil change.

Honda has traditionally stopped production of the Si one year ahead of the final model year for the Civic. That was at least true for the 9th and 10th generations. In that case, not much to see here. The confusing part is re: EPA regulations. Doesn't make much sense to me since the 1.5T is very...

Sold.

As others have said, you don't want the MRT piece, that is just taking out another resonator whereas it sounds like you want to add back a resonator. I'm honestly surprised it made that much of a difference. I did the MRT piece, removing the smaller resonator, and the difference is SUBTLE. Did...

Selling a complete set of 4 BONOSS Forged Active Cooling 15mm hubcentric wheel spacers. Fits: 2023+ Honda Civic Type R (FL5) 2024+ Acura Integra Type S (DE5) Used but in excellent condition with normal installation marks. No issues—only selling because I’ve changed my setup to run...

I’m not saying no one has blown a head gasket, but I had a 10th gen that was tuned for 70k of the 75k miles I owned it. No issues. This has become an internet meme at this point. The ones I saw were people running ethanol tunes. Look around this forum before freaking out about that. Facebook is...

They will be receiving another letter from me, I’m just not optimistic. Happy to be proven wrong!

The wording makes it pretty clear they aren’t going to move the FL5 until 2028. They are protecting the Twins in DS, or something. They should have moved it last year and didn’t. Whatever interests that were in play in the decision to keep the FL5 in BS are still in play now.

The +R and long press disables VSA/traction control, but it does not disable brake vectoring (Agile Handling Assist in Honda marketing speak). So, yeah, you are still killing rear brakes. Any kind of extended track use, you've got to do the pedal dance or you are going to obliterate the rears...

That is the exact exhaust I would like to have on my car and also the exact reason why I do not have that exhaust on my car. :) GLWS.

I just replaced rear pads and rotors at 23k miles. Plus or minus 20k miles seems like the going rate for rear pads on the CTR if you are driving the car. Maybe you could squeeze out some more life by just putting around. Mine is a daily driver plus 7-10 autocross events per year. The difference...

This or Michelin PSAS4 are the chalky answers. Searching for deals on Tire Rack is fun, though. After rebates, the DW06+ is $600 for a set of four on Tire Rack right now. Hard to beat that for a quality tire.

I did the same thing and got the same price. I wouldn't have thought of doing that without this thread, so thanks!

It's like I always say, the GT3 is the FL5 of RWD cars.

December Fastrack is out. GS and HS got reshuffled. Most notably, Elantra N is now a GS car, so RIP to Civic Si guys. It doesn't look like Civic moved to HS (only Civic Hybrid did). FL5 and GRC to DS still only got "Thank you for your feedback." Piss or get off the pot. Why delay announcing a...
