    Hi! Easy question to start with...

    So looks like they used the previous civic engine mount when they replaced it 06-11 civic instead of 12-15. very similar engine with some differences like the previous generation has a torque bar from that going to the firewall/somewhere. Newer civics don't have it. This passenger side motor...

    Planning on supercharging my 9th gen, what’s the rough tq/hp limit on the stock trans?

    turbos can kill trans because after the boost threshold sometimes the boost comes on hard and strong and this sudden jolt is what breaks things, feels great and can make skid marks in pants but you can feel the powwaaa then it goes away at high rpms. This is why its better to go bigger slower...

    2012 Service code A14

    These maint. minders just go off after XX miles and things that should be done, heat cycles wear items and things go out of spec. Like hitting a curb can throw out that tires alignment. I did valve job at ~180k when it was due again. I skipped the first time cause of money. Honda stealership...

    Trans swap?

    Well if you go this route, mfactory sells shorter gear ratios for 3,4,&5th... There were 6 speed 1.8 civics made, the trans pop up on eBay sometimes. They were made in other countires but their 6th gear is our 5th gear so theres no fuel savings, just prob shorter gear ratios. You're better...

    2022 Subaru WRX

    I just dont get why they simulate gears with cvts? just keep the rpms in the power band and you'll have constant hp pull, back in '08 my LGT automatic peak hp was at 4.5k and dropped at higher revs. Upgraded to 20g turbo and full boost at 6k with no taper and thought man if this was a cvt it...

    Big bass build

    Don't know what model or year you have but Hondata Flashpro will be able to disable the charging restriction You can try going agm battery so it can "charge" faster, I chose whatever was cheapest from all the autoparts stores. One of the problems with the charging system is cruising speeds with...

    2012 Civic Si Sedan (Issues with battery drain)

    What type of driving are you doing? If you do a lot of freeway/highway driving, like Webby said the battery does not "charge up fully" to get you the best mpg. I have purchased the cheapest Autozone battery and that lasted 1 year with the freeway driving (we call it freeway in cali lol)...

    sparkplug replacment time

    Just go with stock type plugs, you're not gonna see a difference and you need to make about 40 horsepower to really feel a difference. You can increase the spark plug gap which should in turn make the afr leaner and lean is power until you burn a valve. I think stock plugs go like 100k/120k like...

    LX with SI rims causing steering wheel to jerk?

    can you upload the alignment specs? I am thinking you may have close to 0 toe...You can add some toe-in on the front to take away from the darting feeling, adding toe-in on the rear will keep the car tracking straight. Note: adding toe in will increase tire wear but is usually done to keep the...

    100,000 mile valve check

    200k and this is when I did the valve adjustment, well I brought it to the dealer it was like $700 or so a few years ago. I did it because it the manual says 100k and I figured i'll spend the money because it's a car we are planning to keep and it wasn't something I wanted to do when its 90+...

    Rear Disc Brake Upgrade - 2013 Honda Civic LX

    I would not buy drilled rotors because they can crack, I have cracked 2 rotors at different times in the past. I have since gone drilled rotors... If you go drum to disc, I would suggest checking junkyards or ebay. I would look for the whole trailing arm assembly that come with the calipers and...

    Push Start pin diagram

    Depending how you go it's more than just the push button, theres the immobilizer too in the key which you can always leave a key in the steering column but then anyone can steal the car, or fumble with the key in your hand and press the push to start... You may be able to retrofit the key sense...

    Motor Mounts?

    If you can feel the car vibrate while it's idling it needs new mount(s). I am not sure with the SI but on my LX (1.8) we have a passenger side motor mount which is mounted vertical and is liquid filled. These go bad and this was the only one I replaced. For my car the lower and rear motor mounts...

    Brake replacement

    I was taught to open the bleeder when you push back the piston. Just a 1/4 turn or so is all you need. Nothing special with or without abs. They recommend starting from the furthest wheel from the master cylinder, I believe its the passenger's rear wheel? If memory serves me correct, if not then...

    Brake replacement

    Bleeding the brakes and cracking open the bleeder valve while pushing the piston back is two different things. First: opening the bleeder valve or not while pushing back is the piston: "Correct" way is to open the bleeder valve, as you are pushing the piston back there may be contaminates in...

    Can new shocks effect the ride hight?

    shocks should not affect ride height, ride height is determined by the springs. Fyi the sedan looks like its 93 pounds heavier, so this shouldn't really affect the shocks. It may look lower in the back but it's prob how the coupe vs sedan is designed and how they make the springs match the look...

    2015 Si: VSA, ABS, POWER STEERING, TPMS LIGHTS ON

    Possible Yaw Sensor needs to be replaced, may or may not be related to being jumped... I had the same lights on and the Yaw Sensor was replaced with 73k on the car. I was able to turn off the lights with a scan tool but it came back on later while driving. Scan tool did not say what part was...

    Car won't start without jump sometimes

    I usually spend more time reading and learning then posting on the forums, and when I do post it is usually to help someone. I read rule #1 and its to use the search function lol. A lot has changed from 2013 to now and that’s why I am less active and it seems like this forum has less people...

    Car won't start without jump sometimes

    How old is your battery, what brand, and type of driving you do? - mostly city or highway driving? You could have a battery that is about to die. I purchased the cheap AutoZone Duralast battery and it lasted 11 months, car was highway driven 40 miles to work M-F. This highway miles is what...
