I know you said you understand the audio system basics, but I just wanted to make sure you checked the fader setting. At least on the premium head unit, you can adjust the levels between the fronts and the rears. The first thing I would check is if the fade was set to 100% front. Beyond that, I...

My 13 Si is around 90k miles. In the past couple weeks, I've changed the clutch fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid. Also replaced the front corner/amber bulbs because one burnt out, which was a big PITA. Upcoming is a full brake job with brake fluid, as well as replacing the PCV valve. Also...

Oh, great. Thanks!

I just discovered this chip today, in what I believe is the transmission (I get kind of turned around when I'm upside down). Can anyone help me out? I don't see any fluid leakage, and it's been driving fine. it's right where the black plate meets, so I feel it might be ok. I'm mostly wondering...

Alright I'll think about it. I've been saving the OEM set for a backup when I go to sell or the HFP suspension gives out.

I've got a full OEM suspension set (13 Si coupe), that's been in a box since 2013, and it looks like I'm only about 90 minutes away. What do you consider dirt cheap?

I think it's really a matter of preference. I'm happy with the 24mm on the low setting, but I know that people are also happy with the 22mm. I did have a lot of difficulty with the associated pieces though, coming loose and making popping noises. I've had a bushing saddle break, and have also...

I installed 24mm, and got an alignment shortly after. It kicked my camber negative a ways (bottom out), which can't be corrected without aftermarket adjustable camber arms. I eventually installed those and got another alignment. The camber wasn't a problem really but I just didn't want/need it...

Quit wasting everyone's time by not taking the best advice here: take action on this shop, and get your car fixed by professionals for free. Did you pay by credit card? Contact your credit card company. They often will reverse a charge like this. Contact a lawyer about getting reimbursed for...

I went with the Viper 4806V. It's a 2-way communication, so you get feedback on whether your car started/locked etc. I did have a hard time finding a shop that would install it on a MT vehicle, even when I explained that it had the 4-step safety feature described in the thread linked above...

My guess is that your limited slip differential was doing its job. I found this video which explains how they work: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeLm7wHvdxQ But it looks to me like the friction discs in one of the clutch packs were slipping, as they are supposed to, and maybe made a...

I've had 1 break as well. The replacement held up for the past year, but I just replaced my Moogs with Energy greasable bushings. It was just too much of a pain to take these off the Moogs and grease them. And if I didn't grease them every once in a while, they would start binding. I keep seeing...

Only reason I would think this might not be a good idea, is that afterwards when you want to wax-off, you may have a bit of bugs and particles mixed in with it.

Just got back from Honda. They did an alignment including the SPC arm adjustments for $75. Turns out one of the pinch bolts worked its way out sometime in the past few days since I only hand-tightened them both, so they supposedly were able to put something in its place. I plan on lifting it for...

Installed SPC camber arms which have been sitting in my garage for a year or two. I didn't bother to take off the muffler for the passenger side (would've needed a blowtorch or a miracle). The bolt closest to the rear, I was able to shimmy out with a million or so 45 degree angle turns of a...

Replaced a busted serpentine belt tensioner on my girlfriend's 98 Saturn. Good learning experience and surely saved at least 100 doing it myself.

Ok well that seems pretty relevant, you've narrowed it down to something in the gear box. I'd start by pulling that top piece off. There's a diy if you search for MTEC shifter springs. It's not quick or easy, took me a few hours to swap my shifter springs. I'm not saying it has anything to do...

I would try the top of the gear box, where the cables attach, and see if you can row it through the gears with your hand.

Nope it was the saddle piece of my Moog bushing.

Don't forget about when I broke one of my sway bar brackets. Possibly didn't post it on this forum, but it tore, then made scraping sounds.
