If you don't have a 9th, or 8th, Si then the 10th Si is the best there is for a fun practical car. I'd be interested in adding it to our fleet if it came with Sensing but as it stands there is no compelling reason to upgrade.

No, dead!

Has shake been there since you got the car? 1) Is your TPMS operational? Are tires the proper size, balanced, and properly inflated? 2) Has your suspension or a wheel been damaged?

Glad I re-read this thread - I wasn't aware that the heated seats came in the EX-T without leather seats. Hopefully the Si & CTR will also.

Start a conversation with vit and see if he did the tune for your car. If so and it was done for your mods, just make sure the right tune is flashed into your ECU. It would be helpful to get in touch with the previous owner to get details. As noted elsewhere, the stink is likely a catless...

Any Dealer/Service Mgr "worth his salt" would have touched up a scratch if you showed it to them in a reasonable amount of time. Unless the car was brand new it would be unreasonable for you to expect a paint job (on the full sill). Anyway get a touch-up kit from them and do it yourself.

Here's latest detailed write-up on use of Top Tier gas - It's done by AAA http://bit.ly/29mF6tL If you read the article note the excessive build-up on the cylinder head for top tier gas. Strange they don't comment on it. The lead article is here...

Check at the GG site, they likely have a FAQ page and this wouldn't be the first time...

Google search says if you live in Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, or Stafford. Cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas or Manassas Park you have to pass an emissions test; if not then you're legal from an emissions standpoint but you'll be restricted as to...

Usually the Flashpro wouldn't be connected unless you were tuning. As Webby said 28 mpg is reasonable - 1 mpg less than EPA combined. Suggest checking with dealer re: the box or the prior owner. The smell isn't going to go away if the cat is gone but Vit can get you tuned up after you locate...

Smells like you're catless and have a significantly modified car. Check with the selling dealer and see if a Flashpro was turned in with the car. If not, see if you can get the name and contact of the previous owner(s) to see if you can locate the Flashpro used to tune the car. Otherwise...

Our 'Si was within the S/N range but we've had no issues in 50,000 miles. Worst consumption was 1 qt. during the first 7,800 miles. Were you burning oil before this episode? Even though your '12 is in the s/n range for TSB A12-069, Honda has a process that you'll likely have to go through to...

Yep, you may "shock" the driveline but shouldn't hurt anything. Si Max speed in 1st thru 6th at *7100rpm* redline 32.3 51.6 73.7 98.3 127.0 162.9 (however fuel cutoff is at 138 in 6th @6,000 rpm)

An earlier post says there's a 1st gear lockout to prevent going into first at too high a speed. The real risk is catching any lower gear at too high a speed such that when you drop the clutch, if used, you mechanically over-rev the motor well beyond, say, 8000 rpm. This is most likely to...

Great for passengers who can't see the VTEC - I find the right foot and the "butt dyno" a better indicator of what's going on when necessary. Like most others the MPG meter is the one for me. It would be nice to get the distance to empty to display at the same time but it's too much trouble...

To date no Si's are involved - No Hondas 2012 - are involved - YET!

Just an accident with the bike being in the blindspot - doesn't look like the light was run but the driver did stop past the stopline. I've done it many times and have been "surprised" to find another car right behind me when I went to bakup to the stopline. Lucky the biker cleared the bike...

Being a former Mobile Boy, I know what you mean. Swamp is the right term. When we visit we just run the AC hard - use recycle to de-swamp and then back it down as it slowly cools. Of course, be sure to open all the windows when you first get in, it's much easier on you and the car to blow out...

Not sure but I think dual mode is "new school" - the ECU decides what's needed -- You're likely fine. After a few days of no issues (lights flashing & error messages) reconnect the amp and see what happens.

As long as you don't set the alarm it shouldn't matter as the horn relay doesn't put power to the horn until the alarm is set off or you hit the "horn button".
