My man your car is looking clean and sick as hell!! I also have a red SI and I was planning on getting XXR's as well. I also have the JDM badges and the front black lip with tinted windows. Could you tell me the tire width, size, the specific XXR model, how much you lowered your car, etc lol?

Thanks I wasn't really looking for big brake kits tho. I saw a few of those threads earlier. I was looking for something that performed better than stock pads/rotors, but were not performance oriented as well, in order to avoid the excess brake dust and extra cost. Anyway I founded something...

Hi everyone, I been trying to search the forums for past threads commenting on what ppl felt were the best aftermarket brakes/rotors for the 9th gen civic si. If anyone could point me in the right direction for these threads, that will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Yea I just recently learned that now.

No the car is no longer under warranty. I covered that 36,000 miles in a year and a half lol. What happened was a rookie mistake on my part. I was jacking the car up to add the Pro Design alpha style front lip to my car. I was doing this at my friend's place so he could help me. We were talking...

The turkey baster does not work at all. It's only good for the first couple inches inside the coolant reservoir, assuming it is filled to the brim. A siphon pump works much better since you can actually send the tube all the way down to the base of the reservoir. It only costed me $3 at...

You are right. It turns out my radiator was cracked. I just ordered a new radiator from Honda for $180 bucks plus a Honda genuine type 2 coolant for $20. All in all $200 for a new radiator and to put in new coolant. I am doing the job myself so I can keep that $410 labor in my pocket.

Because sometimes products at Honda be more expensive than the aftermarket counterparts, but the aftermarket parts are of the same quality or even better.

In an earlier post I said it was yellow, but upon closer inspection it seems to actually be green with a tint of yellow. I uploaded an image.

I will try the turkey baster idea tomorrow. Thanks for your help as usual @webby.

I don't know why I thought I bought prestone engine coolant, but it was actually Navi Guard that I bought. I looked at the bottle and online, I couldn't find any phrase that said "silicate free". I did however read it meet the performance requirement of the Japanese industry standard k2234. I...

Here are a couple different, but related questions. 1) The engine coolant I used was prestone 50/50 (yellow color) and it said it could be added to any color and make/model. Now because of the yellow color of prestone 50/50 coolant, it was too late until I realized I filled the reservoir...

@webby thanks I did read page 371 initially, but I missed page 362. It also took me some time to actually find the reservoir, before I realized it was tucked down to the left of the battery and you cant't pull it out. I wish they have chosen a different design for ease of access. Also it was...

Hi Everyone, I know this will come off as an extreme rookie question, but I am having trouble finding the engine coolant reservoir in 2014 civic SI. I tried looking into the manual, but it is not clear where it is located. Normally you would be able to easily find it just by looking around the...

Nix, you are seriously the man! You are right about fender rolling not being as scary as I thought. I just watched a few videos of ghetto fender rolling with baseball bats, it is still scary nonetheless lol. I appreciate your help, unfortunately I live up in Boston. The more I think about...

Nix, thanks for this highly informative post. Everything you said was exactly what I feared. I have been trying to avoid fender work for a couple reasons. 1) I hear rolling fenders is bad if you deal with a lot of snow in your region. The reason being the insides of the wheel well is exposed...

I'm going to call MB battle rims again later today and hopefully I'll get a knowledgable customer service rep this time.

Thanks for the link Webby! I checked the thread out. Unfortunately it did not help me for what I was looking for. Most of the cars in that thread had tire specs very similar to Jnasti. They ran either 215/35 or 215/40 on 18x9.5 with offset of +25 Basically I am trying to see if I can put...

Right now I am on stock suspensions. I did buy H&R sport springs tho and I plan to put them on once winter is over. So my maximum drop would be about 2 inches front/rear.

Hey everyone, I'm looking at the MB Battle rims 18 x 9.5...I love the deep dish concave look. My problem is I want to fit these wheels on without having to roll my fenders. I know this is possible because I have seen another thread on this board by the poster, Jnasti, who was able to accomplish...
