We've been using a piece of faux leather (JoAnn Fabrics) tied on with a fancy (boot lace) shoestring. We've had to re-tie it once or twice in 3 years and it works great in hot weather too.

O Ouch! Hopefully insurance covers it.

If you were under power, gassing it as opposed to braking or coasting, it's all related and won't be warranty. Sounds like you killed the suspension, drivetrain, and wheels/tires. Suspension and drivetrain, in normal vehicles, aren't designed to take sideloads and a curb is the worst thing to...

Must have been a monster pothole. Re the 2nd gear issue it would be helpful to know the Model Year of Si, purchased new or used, mileage.

If you need to warm the seat use a hair dryer on medium or low - you just want to get the spill to liquefy (30-40 degrees F (0-5 C)) should do it. Never use a heat gun unless you're intending to melt something, or start a fire. The under layer of a seat can easily catch fire and smolder for...

Just had our 26k oil change - with air & pollution filters also. Next time we drove car the Imid message ...Check Airbag System... came on after driving a couple of blocks. Next time it was fine (no message). A day later the wife said it came on twice with same message. Took it to dealer who...

For both the 2006-11 & 12- Civic Si Honda recommends PON 91 or higher and states you can use 87 or higher but it will result in decreased engine performance (loose horsepower) and may get ocassional knocking. The horsepower loss in the stock Si is minor with at least one tuner stating they ran...

The second reason why our Si lives on regular! First reason is it runs fine on 87. I'd rather have a bottle of wine or a 6-pack than **ss away my bucks. Several other contributors disagree.

$2.419 for 87 - 25% more $3.019 for 93 in Cheshire.

Or 19.9 at the GEX in Charleston, SC in '69 - for Premium for our RoadRunner!

Much more likely an out of balance or bad tire. That may also be the cause of the rough ride where a bump generates a very short term vibration. Our '98 Ex has thrown weights more than once (over 150,000 miles). Struts/linkage are much more likely to generate control issues (wandering or, in...

BTW the numbers I mentioned - '89 Probe (36mpg) , '98 civic (36 mpg), '12 Si (33 mpg) - are the combined (all miles driven). The worst full tank run for the Si was 29.7 (once in winter near zero all intown, once on road trip in Florida with full-time AC and running 9 over to 79 mph). Best was...

Probably the way we drive but we average slightly better than the Federal highway mpg for our last 3 cars '89 Probe (36mpg) , '98 civic (36 mpg), '12 Si )33 mpg) - all hand (actually Excel) calculated . We're in a rural area with lots of short .5 to 5 mile trips.

Was your quick search the same as mine? http://www.ohmygas.com/gas-station/Shell-173-North-St-Cheshire-MA-01225/4751 It does say 13.9 however Premium is listed as $3.779 - I just paid $2.819 at that station on 12-4-14. Another Google hit...

We've done 79 fills (26k miles+), 78 with 87 octane (remember this is the minimum, by law - it could be higher) only 1 was "Premium" 91 (on a trip and 91 was only 10 cents more per gallon). Noticed absolutely no difference in performance or mileage. In my opinion the '12 Si runs fine on...

Our Imid is almost always 6% high vs calculated - short fills, multiple "shutoff clicks", and unfamiliar gas pumps can easily drive it to being 10% off. That said a "lighter foot" should get you near 30 mpg average - we average over 32 (29 - 38 mpg per tank). BTW we have a '12 Si Sedan.

Until the interior warms iMID does the same thing when it's below 10 degrees F - but LaneWatch would be a safety issue.

1) Release Parking Brake and Replace Clutch 2) Replace driver

Si with stock tires is barely at 6 grand at 80 in fourth - she'll sing to almost 100 before the dreaded fuel shutoff stutter.

Any chance you can use a "come-along" to pull the two parts back together? If you loosen the clamps and can get a good, even grip on each piece, a "come-along" can exert tremendous pull. Be careful not to overdo it or you could crush the pipes (stovepipe). Most tractor/farm supply stores...
