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...

https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/2025-civic-specifications-canada.53547/ Per Canadian trim models, 1.5T is now Si exclusive.

https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/2025-civic-specifications-canada.53547/ 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...

Don't bother with an engine swap. Trade in your car for an Si and do bolt ons or get the Elantra N or GTI.

Front profile is dope, 1/4 is dope, side profile and 3/4 view look frumpy. Agreed, rear view looks like like a 280Z.

Which LEDs did you go with? Looking to do the same thing with some high quality LEDs.

1) How often do you drive your car? If you're letting it sit for days or weeks, squirrels will lose their fear and start exploring your car. I think the car becomes an immobile "part of the environment" if it sits too long, like a tree, and animals will start to investigate. My girl friend would...

Appreciate the details on the rigid collars. I was looking at these and heard good things.

Would you mind going into more details between the differences between the DWS06+ and Michelins. Can't decide between the two, and I think I'm splitting hairs and overthinking.

I've spent too much time on Bobistheoilguy wasting my time and never got a clear answer or any objective evidence / testing for which types of oils I should use. If it has the API seal and is full synthetic, go ahead an run it as a daily oil. Oil change intervals are more important than oil...

All good points here. Civic Si auto hatchback exists, it's called the Integra. Honda will never put a K engine in the Civic if they got rid of it in the Accord. Everything's going hybrid now, EV later. My predictions for 2025 refresh: 1) Entire Civic line up gets full suite of Honda Sensing. 2)...

I own an MR2 Spyder and I installed a catback exhaust in it a few years back. The exhaust was very rusty, and to avoid snapping bolts, I took 2 days and maybe 15-20 PB sessions to undo the bolts. I would hit the bolts with PB Blaster, wait 5 minutes, undo bolts by a 1/4 or 1/2 turn, hit bolts...

Hmm, a little pricey, but this is something I might do in the future. Thanks for the tip, Chilly. Edit: Oh my bad, US gets LED headlights, nevermind.

Bumping this thread. Thanks for experimenting and answering some questions I had about swapping for the digital gauge cluster.

I thought that the 2.0T was built in Japan, with allocations for the Type R staying in Japan and allocations for Type S going to the US.

Even if car buyers sell the car for the price they bought at, the non-refundable transaction costs will bleed money out of their pockets, oh god. Sales tax, dealer fees, discretionary mods, insurance premiums to name a few. One could maximize yearly IRA contributions with those alone. I guess...
