    Blower Motor Noise

    I would definitely try. I had it replaced on my 2010 (the first model year I noticed it starting to make that weird noise). It just came back. The two 2012s I had never had it replaced because it was told to be "normal" despite the fact I showed anotehr 2012 that didn't make the noise. My 2013...

    Cold Start "Scraping/Rattle" Noise Grinding Cold Start - VTC Actuator Merged Threads

    Thanks for that information - that clarified what the VTC is and some others that are having issues with it. I have the 120,000 mile extended warranty on my Si so I'm not terribly worried, but it does concern me that my car only has 10,000 miles on it and it's doing this. It has only done it...

    Cold Start "Scraping/Rattle" Noise Grinding Cold Start - VTC Actuator Merged Threads

    It has been a brutally cold winter in Minneapolis (worse than normal). While I park underground in a heated garage, my car is outside in the elements during the day. A few weeks ago, I went to start the car after it was out in the cold for awhile, and it make a rattling/scraping noise for a few...

    Blower Motor Noise

    My 2013 Si (I long-since ditched the 2012) still makes this noise. It still annoys the piss out of me (I'm sensitive to high pitch sounds), but I'm used to it at this point. The improvements made to the 2013 make it far more livable.

    Hunger Games Trilogy

    Battle Royale copycat or not, I found The Hunger Games well done. I enjoy the social commentary and metaphors as well. I, for one, found the books highly engaging and entertaining for a casual read. The third one lost focus during the first half, but it pulled itself together. I have yet to...

    New Car.......Same Color!

    Didn't feel like reading through five pages but I did the exact same thing OP did only I went from a DBP 12 Si coupe to a DBP 13 Si sedan. From what I read, they thickened the windshield glass and the front door side window glass, put more soundproofing materials in the wheel well and under...

    Worn out floor mat already?

    I can almost all but promise you the Honda dealership will tell you "no way" if you ask them to warranty it for you, given it's "normal wear and tear". They'll probably also give the excuse of "well, this is normal because you're using the carpets more given you have a clutch". The mats on the...

    Venting

    This happened to my 2006 Si too. I was parked in a residential area near my college, and I came back to it and some jackass ripped my Si badge off the trunk lid. Seriously? Why? It cost $20 to replace at the dealership. It's not like it was JDM or Mugen or anything lol.

    Something that perplexes me.

    Should I be worried? Or did you guys just want to be regular members again? I know being a mod is hard *** work - and its a thankless job. But I'll definitely message you if someone's getting unruly. People have been pretty good lately, all things considered. I really am enjoying the 2013. I...

    Something that perplexes me.

    Hey, you're one of the main reasons I stayed on 9thgen. I use both sites because I was a member of 8thcivic back when I had my 8th gens, but happened to find 9thgencivic first. There's valuable info on both (sometimes one has info the other doesn't, etc.). Two different forums with different...

    Something that perplexes me.

    This. I have certainly noticed that one of the things that get to me over there is that someone posts a thread asking for opinions, advice, or experiences you've had. You give them, and people, rather than politely debating why they disagree, just say you're wrong or try to somehow insinuate...

    Photos iMid Pics & Wallpapers

    I did notice that it shows two of each file name: the NAME.jpg and the _.NAME.jpg file...the ghost image you speak of. I was using free services to resize online, but if GIMP works for Mac, I should probably download it. I need a Photoshop equivalent on my computer, anyways. It could just me...

    Photos iMid Pics & Wallpapers

    This is going to be an odd question, but I have always had issues with uploading photos to the i-MID. It's very particular on the models I've used it on (and I've had three 9th gens thus far). I am a Mac user, and sometimes photos will upload from the USB...othertimes they won't. It's very...

    Something that perplexes me.

    I'm members of both - and I'm not very well-liked at the other place because of my very-likely over posting of my dissatisfaction with how Honda handled the 2012 vs 2013, paired with some questionable dealership experiences and ongoing concerns I had with my 2012 Si. Most people don't lash out...

    Interchanging Sedan and Coupe Backseat Headrests

    I like it. I had a 2012 Si coupe and just traded it for a 2013 Si sedan - the rear seat headrests are so much bigger than I'm used to seeing in my rearview mirror. I'll get used to it, but the coupe ones do look sharp - wow. I do wonder if the center headrest would interfere with the fold down...

    2014 Civic Coupe changes?

    As others have mentioned, I find it unlikely that Honda will invest in a significant update to the Civic coupe until the next Civic arrives or a re-Mid-Model-Refresh down the road. Why? The coupe for 2012 was actually pretty solid design, if not a little conservative and simple...which is a...

    LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

    It really is. The worst part about it is the learning curve. It's simple enough, but learning the games mechanics was a pain in the butt, because the tutorials are about non existent. Thankfully, the community in the game is REALLY friendly. Its also nice because you really don't need to "party"...

    LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

    I haven't played League of Legends - yet. I just bought Guild Wars 2. Outstanding game. Seriously. Its $60, but there's no monthly fee to play and I gotta tell you - its one of the best MMOs I've ever played.

    Air leak from windows?

    Absolutely. I'm having him look for a sedan right now. I'm about 80% sure I want to go that route. I do like how the 2013 sedans turned out. I still like the side profile of the coupe far more, and worry that I'm going to miss the sleek coupe profile, but no one hates the practicality of sedan...

    Air leak from windows?

    Thanks webby. I have to admit, numbers were never my forte. When all is said and done, I think this is a good deal. TrueCar.com reports that 40 transactions in the last 182 days of Civic Si sedans in the Minneapolis metro netted a price of $23,029. They offered me invoice (around mid $21,xxx)...
