    Vibration during idle?

    I have a small vibration in the whole car frame but it is very smooth and not really transmitted to anything like the pedals or stick. The engine's rumble is more prominent on the 12 Si, but it is smooth. If the stick or pedals vibrate it means something is not right and there may be a small...

    New 2013 Civic Si HFP and New to Forums!

    Everything is negotiable. If you show them interest but tell them not happy with the price they can play with the numbers. This is best done when buying the car, afterwards not sure how much they will budge. I got a 6 year extended 100k since i do not drive my car a lot for a total of 200 extra...

    Which 2014 would you choose?

    That does not look good. I see Hyundai is the same boat more or less. Subaru though has very good ratings.

    Which 2014 would you choose?

    I would consider the Kia Optima or Forte and the base Impreza too, a bit pricier but not by much. Either wise depends on your preference, what is more important fuel consumption, reliability or fun. For that regard the Toyota, Honda, Mazda groups is close each leaning more or less to some...

    End an argument

    TT is 200kg more as far as i know and has a lower redline. On grippy tires and dry asphalt the Si will be few tenths faster I think. I assume we talk about the 1.8 quatro 1390 Kg 225 HP 207 lbf/ft Top speed Audi should win but 0 to 60 the Si...

    Media: Sound of Honda - Ayrton Senna 1989

    Even without seeing the actual car that sounds so intense, you can hear the tires at their limit. Very very nice!

    Strange noise after drive.

    I have the same thing, very obvious on more humid days even if AC is off. It is water going down around the catalyst that sizzles on the hot pipes. I am a bit worried of making it rust sooner but I have read about and seen on other forums as well it is a Civic thing, not sure if Honda all...

    The Honda Powered Mini Cooper

    New Minis weigh as much as a Civic though... Still a ton of fun to drive but that giant killer performance is no longer there. That Vtec sounds very nice :)

    Favorite Authors?

    I love reading anything from Asimov, Bradbury or Arthur C Clarke but lots of other great authors as well. A bit old school but found Somerset Maugham to be a very good writer, not a fan of the stories but addicted to the style. Another great one for me is Umberto Eco.

    Crazy Car Accidents

    Holy ****!!!!! Funny how the the truck with the cistern does not seem to back away :) They're butane gas tanks for bbqs or stoves not connected to the main gas lines, very common in Eastern Europe, most of the times handled very unsafely. Many years back there was a similar accident where i...

    Anyone try or have these Door Sills/Scuff Plates?

    The dealership that i bought the car from. If you ask for the digital fits in Ottawa dealerships they have the Weathertecs, not sure if the info is advertised but on the box it came in it had a small weathertec sticker :) Same for my Mazda. They are identical except for the logo which says Civic...

    Anyone try or have these Door Sills/Scuff Plates?

    The ones i have are the Honda WeatherTec version, sticker on the box says WeatherTec but the logo is Civic so i liked it better plus i got a 10% discount so it was a no brainer. Quality wise i am very happy. I did not think 200 for some mats is worth it but i was wrong, they're worth every...

    Anyone try or have these Door Sills/Scuff Plates?

    I personally bought the Yospeed ones and I am very happy with them. These ones I am afraid the sides may scratch the paint since i actually see them being a bit bent on the edges in this pic. Depends on the colour of your car, I have a black one and the Yospeed black ones look sweet.
