    Cost of adding OEM navi to Si w/o navi

    My TomTom XXL540 WTE does all this and much more - cost $150 on sale in late 2010. Today they are about $230 with lifetime free map updates and live traffic. The North American Map only version is $119 today on Amazon. Hard to beat and it can be used anywhere.

    What is your Civic SI's best MPG?

    Our Si sedan averages about 6% high. Our best (full tank) run was 35.6mpg actual @ 65mph on Interstate. Have seen as high as 47mpg (on IMID display) on a 50 mile casual ride on hilly backroads - I was impressed but kept it under 55mph. Worse, after break-in 29.7mpg at +9 to 79mph on...

    Is your Si burning oil and is it part of the TSB VIN range or not

    1970 and they were wild! The Charger was called the Daytona. My Runner actually got 13-15 mpg in town and 17 on the hiway much of it at 90 or better on the long runs. I have 2 memories of the wife driving - I-65 between Auburn and Mobile, Al when she was cruising at 110 and an Alabama State...

    Is your Si burning oil and is it part of the TSB VIN range or not

    My '68 Road Runner burned a quart every 625 miles - but talk about run!!! Unfortunately the Berkshire salt ate it up after 18 years and 169,000 miles! - My first love.

    question before bringing the car in for service.

    Bump pressure a couple of pounds - depending on your guage and its age, it's not unusual for them to be off as much as 4 psig and in my experience they're usually on the high side. Most guages at a filling station, and I haven't used one there in 20+ years, can be off by 10+ psig. (I ride a...

    Air leak from windows?

    Our '98 EX coupe has always done this - I just lower the window 1/4" and raise it to fix. Definitely can see the door panel flex as the window gets to the top or starts down.

    Dead 2006 Civic Si

    Wire brush the corrosion, use baking soda to clean battery posts and terminals, with water added - then dry, reinstall if removed, and coat with grease (I use wheel bearing lube) or one of the fancy spray coatings. Only had to do once or twice on our '98 EX in the last 13 years.

    exhuast too loud

    FB6 #1137 MFG 11/11 The glove box rattle went away when they used the "loose screws" to mount our license plates! Assume windshield squeak is just shrinkage due to cold.

    exhuast too loud

    When we test drove our DBP Si Sedan (over a year ago) we had a rattle in the glove box area - turns out it was the mounting screws for the license plate. Since then the only issue is a windshield/plastic trim "squeak" for a few minutes when it's below 20 degrees F - it goes away when the...

    Fuel Efficiency Chart

    Think he's in kph not mph - 12 over = still lucky. Above 45 I do 9 mph over, don't slow when going past a speed trap, and have never been stopped (when only doing 9 over). AlienPrime's 265 is definitely kph - 161 is still awesome!

    Curious Question

    Try parking under a covered area again - after a period you'll lose GPS due to lack of reception. GPS is line-of-sight and unless your satellites are super low on the horizon, they can't "see" when you're under cover or behind a building (between you and the satellites). Most GPS take 1 to 5...
