I did some test driving with early spool off. I like it. Throttle is not as sensitive, but it revs out stronger up top. With early spool, 1st and 2nd gear were kind of useless as it would break traction, and run out of steam quickly, but without early spool, first 2 gears feel longer(if it...
Ive been running early spool since day 1. Didnt hear anything about it when i emailed them. Im going to reflash tonight and see how it runs without early spool. Did he say why they dont reccomend it? Even with early spool, it doesnt feel super punchy down low.
Have you adjusted your clutch pedal? After installing wunderladen racing clutch pedal bushing, i adjusted my pedal per hondas instruction.
It surprisingly made a big difference in shift feel, and although Rev hang shouldn't be affected by it, I can shift much quicker and smoother.

Meh. Si was never meant to be for clout chasers. With some minor tweaks, its a fun reliable daily driver. It's comical how much hate this car gets. Parts are relatively cheap, and it's easy to diy. I'm running mine til the wheels fall off.
Swapped out my plugs at 31k miles, tuned since 17k. I used to change them once a year on my tuned 10th gen. Didn't even realize how worn they were, but I'm glad I swapped them out. Throttle response is much better now; I don't have to go wot nearly as much.
11th gen si l15ca head is the exact same head on problematic 1.5t accord. I haven't had any issues on my 10th Gen civic with nearly 150k miles, so if I make it that far on my 11th Gen, I'll be ok. If it blows, I can diy it.
I once saw an fl5 driving past me on the other side of high way. It looked like a hovercraft compared to base model civics. 4 inches wider and it shows.
How many miles did you have on the original clutch? Did it slip at all? How did it look when it was out? Also, how was your original headgasket looking?
On the si and type r's rear bushings add a lot of stiffness to rear suspension. 11th Gen si has stiffer springs than fl5, but I reckon fl5 has stiffer bushings. Bushings add extra spring rates, people generally dont account for. Once I installed eibach rear camber arm and lower control arm with...
