Speaking of cars having feelings...

Thanks for reading my thread, man. Good to know that people still read! I used to post stuff like this on LinkedIn, and I realized I could get away with a bunch of wild shit because... nobody reads until the end of the post. You're right. A Cayman is the next step. I've always known that I'm a...

These are my rules for determining whether a car can be considered a daily driver: 1) Can you leave the car at the mall for an afternoon? (you have to park close to the mall, none of this parking way far out shit) 2) Can you leave the car at the train station for a weekend? 3) Can you leave...

Speaking about dogs...

Civic Si Retrospective: I sold my Civic Si two weeks ago. Here are some thoughts and reflections about the car and the modifications I did to it: “My goal is to put some money into my Si and turn it into “what it should have been from the factory”. But in doing so, I don’t want to...

Mods I (will) regret (redux): Now that I sold my Si, what mods do I regret and what mods don’t I regret? (Here's a LINK to the original post) Decals / Looks / Exterior Mods I bought the car thinking I’d keep it for seven years. I wanted it to look exactly like I wanted it too. One 10-minute...

HPT WOT Cool plate sold!

PRL Intake Hose & Sprint Filter (I would prefer to sell both of these together as a kit) PRL Intake in great condition, comes with 2 worm gear clamps. Sprint Filter has less than 300 total miles. I ended up never using it because wildfire smoke in Michigan made me decide to keep my stock air...

I sold my 2025 Civic Si last weekend. I am selling aftermarket parts and some OEM stuff that I pulled off of it before it was hauled off. I have photos available for all parts. Please let me know and I will post them. Pricing includes shipping costs. I accept Venmo and can ship starting...

Alas, nobody reads. Thanks for the well-wishing and for being a commie hater.

Well, it happened. Yesterday, I purchased a white CPO 2024 Subaru BRZ from my local Subaru dealer. And in a few days, I will be selling my 2025 Civic Si to Carvana. I can't believe my eyes, but it happened. I did it. The car I lusted after, my modern day poster-up-on-the-wall car, the car I...

Check the Tuned Reliability thread, both 11th and 10th gen. Running E85 at +9psi (or at +9psi on pump gas regardless) will put your 1.5T in danger of head gasket issues and your clutch will probably start to slip at that power. Ethanol and big boost is where reliability issues happen outside of...

Is this the same as the 8A050-T20-AA31 update that popped up last week? I've been stuck on "System Verification" will take no more than 3 minutes for the whole weekend.

bumping thread whatchu buying, OP?

I value everything you've written up, gtman, especially the Tuned Reliability posts. I've read so many of your posts on CivicX to help me plan out mods. And you're correct, I turned off early spool and the tune feels better. For me, early spool is too touchy for everyday driving.

Didn't know Vega didn't recommend it. I'd like to know opinions as well.

Excellent choice! Financially speaking, buying the CTR or the Si end up being similar over the long run. Just don't trade up for a CTR with your Si or you'll lose a lot: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/wise-or-unwise-redux-running-the-numbers.54543/

This is short notice, but is anyone on this board going to the Gingerman raceway Honda meet tomorrow or Sunday? Let me know. I might show up later in the evening on Saturday or drive out Sunday.
