    Honda Flip Key!

    The only company still doing that style of twist key+push button is Ferrari. Something about it being like a proper racing car.

    How did you find 9thcivic.com?

    I was looking for help on an item, and a search (bing/google? I don't remember which one pulled it up, but I remember the other never did) got me to 9thcivic's DIY section. Thanks for the help!

    Civic Si against the competition?

    I know, I've simply heard that exact same story since I have been buying cars. Yet, to this day, the story remains the same. Early turbo cars were indeed junk, however, that doesn't have any relation to reliability of certain auto makes.

    2013 Si's have no accessory light switches???

    I think they removed it, partly because some trims of the Civic (actually, I think just the Hybrid) use up all three spaces. Same deal with the 9th gen Accord, too. As for functionality, it is the same, except the (now) imaginary switch is always, "on."

    Civic Si against the competition?

    I don't know. I've heard that line for almost 20 years, now, about plenty of car makes, "they are getting better," "those stories are just from the past," "what applied then doesn't apply now." 20 years later, the story is still the same. Japanese are still more reliable than the Europeans and...

    Microsoft's New Xbox: Live From the Unveiling

    Tall order for the xbox gamepad. The 360 controller was about as good as it got, save the D-pad. It looks like the D-pad has finally been resolved (no more wobbly D-pad, based on the looks of it), and the guide button has been finally moved to somewhere less likely to be accidentally hit. Of...

    Night Owls - Where are you?

    ^^ I'd join you, but I guess we all somehow have work to do?

    Vtec

    I guess a lot of things went into this. Honda was probably the most ardent pusher of this technology into every car they made. They way they tuned their engines in the past, meant the engine would switch over to a high output cam at relatively high RPM, while generating much less power under the...

    Brake creaking

    Happens on my truck as well, 4 disc brakes all around on that. Though I mostly park that car outside... With the window up, I don't hear it. Well, I also couldn't hear my brake wear indicators until it was almost all worn away.

    Honda Civic Tourer Concept - Anyone else want one?

    Oh, yeah. I still like the first gen TSX (a wee bit more than the second gen).

    Honda Civic Tourer Concept - Anyone else want one?

    ^^ eh, they started brining in the TSX Wagon around 2010. While it's not offered with the 6MT, the Euro Accord wagon doesn't get the V6, either (actually, outside of the US, none of them do).

    GranTurismo 5 Thread!

    Conversely, Forza and PGR have been Microsoft franchises (xbox-only). I have Forza 4 and Horizon (along with the Rally expansion), and while I have a PS3, it's only used for blurays, so I never bought any games for it.

    Turbo+ AWD!!!!!

    It's not a big deal, first year subies aren't the pick of the litter, anyways. Up until very recently, subaru generally shoved problems under the carpet (which killed my 02{?} legacy wagon - head gasket blown, if I had known more back then, I would of replaced it with the turbo engine's...

    Honda Civic Tourer Concept - Anyone else want one?

    Hazzard button - it's just how Europe likes it. Big and red. For Hondas, also slightly translucent and always dimly glowing a neat red. If I had to choose between a hatch or a wagon, wagon all the way. I'd still take a sedan, first, however.

    First world problems thread

    Toyota doesn't make the corolla xrs anymore. It was basically, a corolla sized camry with a slightly nicer interior than the regular camry, the 4cyl from the camry, and the autobox, too.

    Link Favorite or Craziest Exhaust/Engine Sound videos

    3 years later, another Honda Day in Japan... View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PB_BiBn574 Also at the Honda created Twin Ring Motegi course (other major one is Suzuka). I think, up until this year, this was also an Indycar course (the oval, not the road course). I think the oval...

    Link Favorite or Craziest Exhaust/Engine Sound videos

    I've always loved this one. This must of been a neat Honda fan day, since they also had a few NSX in the paddock. View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBxw4whvBiA A little bit of backhistory: there was some push for one of the Japanese teams to support Sato (who now races in Indycar), after...
