    Advice on tires??

    Mileage above all else but low noise and semi-decent performance closely behind it. I bought the Si to be a commuter car that is still fun to drive, but I spend most of my time running 70-80mph on the interstates so I don't need a tire to cut through the corners while only giving me a life of...

    Advice on tires??

    Hey guys I need to buy new tires for my Si sedan and I would appreciate your feedback. I drive about 95% of the time on the interstate in Georgia and rarely deal with any ice or snow. I only got around 35k miles on the original set of Michelins and would rather get something with a longer...

    Does Your Car Make This Noise As Well?

    My 2013 Si does as well. I assumed it was the A/C system settling down after the compressor turns off.

    Thanks Webby - that does help! I'd still like some feedback on the other questions from some of the site's stereo experts whenever you guys have time.

    Help! - 2013 Si sedan needing a little more bump

    Hey guys, I have a 2013 4-door Si and I'm tired of the weak OEM sound system. I've "been there and done that" with full-blown competition systems in the past and have since outgrown the 170db wipers jumping off the windshield type of systems. But having said that, I still need a little more...

    Vtec not audible with oem intake?

    That makes sense; I didn't realize they took the exhaust cams out of play. So does the switch-over become more noticeable with a cold air intake?

    Vtec not audible with oem intake?

    Hey this is a "just curious" thread, but has anyone else noticed how quiet the crossover into vtec is on the latest gen SI's? I had a 98 sohc vetc civic and an '01 integra gsr (damn I miss that car) and both of them were a lot more obvious with power-felt and the audible change in motor when...

    Rear deck sub replacement

    How's the sound quality of that stealth box? What amp are you using to push it?

    Rear deck sub replacement

    I don't think it would be muffled; the plastic liner that sits in the bottom of the trunk wouldn't block very much. Plus, if anything, it may help that the air around the spare tire would have a tighter enclosure of air to compress. In theory, anyway. After-all, all bass really is, is the...

    Rear deck sub replacement

    Most are adding a single sub box and amp. I've thought about building or having built a single 10" box that would fit against the back of the seats so as to not take up a lot of trunk space. I just hate having to take the car panels out to run the amp wiring kit. Has anyone looked into the...

    12V / Cigarette Lighter constant power vs key switch

    Now that's a pretty cool idea. I'm trying to decide on the yellow overlay for my fog lights, or just going hyper white all the way around. Once I figure out the look I want, I may do the fuse trick as well. Thanks for the idea!

    Spyder cold air intakes - anyone tried them?

    I want a CAI but really can't justify over $300 in one right now. I've run across a company selling a Spyder CAI for $154...much more within my ideal price range, but can't find any reviews from Civic owners. Anyone tried them? What's the general consensus on them...

    12V / Cigarette Lighter constant power vs key switch

    Yeah, I looked at the owner's manual and figured out which fuse it would be. The question I had, though, is it possible to do so w/out any issues that I'm not foreseeing? I was wondering if anyone had already tried something similar and could attest to its success or failure.

    12V / Cigarette Lighter constant power vs key switch

    Wow...crickets out there. Either no-one has an opinion on this, or I did a piss-poor job of explaining my idea lol.

    Anyone upgraded their rearview mirror to auto-dim / homelink?

    The HomeLink and auto-dim works perfectly! I purchased one w/out the compass;just my preference but I don't care for the look of the compass on rearviews.

    Anyone upgraded their rearview mirror to auto-dim / homelink?

    I did the install, just been too lazy to take and upload pictures ;) I got it for less than $100 on eBay, and it came with the wiring harness and the clip that hides the wire from the mirror to the headliner. Details of the install are higher up in this thread.
