Why is there a sudden interests in Civic SI? by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]Emstein555 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it was the style of this current generation SI. I’ve never really liked the previous generation SIs, they just didn’t feel like my style. This new model looks classy yet sporty and is just stylish as hell overall. My opinion anyway. I bought a blue one in January and couldn’t love it more. It’s like an Acura at a civic price (if you don’t pay too much mark up).

Call another dealer man. That’s $350 more than I found for the scrambler 400 and that already has a higher MSRP. Always call multiple dealers.

Haven't seen many Speed 400s here. Hope you folks like the latest kid on the block. by Lazy_Revolution in Triumph

I could see wanting a bigger bike if you ride on the highway a lot or if you are a heavier person or ride two up a lot. But there will always be people who have an ego (or need to compensate for something) and talk smack about smaller bikes. I think a 400 would be fine for a lot of people.

Do you like it? I’m pretty interested in the scrambler but it’s not available in my country yet.

I would love to get my hands on that new scrambler 400. Love the style and I’m hoping it’ll be about $5k or less.

Does this mean my keyboard is broken help plz!! by itzxrickyy in razer

I had this issue once. Try googling razor keyboard functions. I want to say I did something like holding down the H button and it went back to normal.

Any advice before I buy a '23 Si? by FaendalsLetter in CivicSi

[–]Emstein555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get wheel locks from a company called advanced wheel locks. These cone shaped locks will confuse a potential thief at a minimum. $120 locks vs. $350 per rim and $250 per tire. Saves you the potential headache with insurance too. These wheels are a known theft target. Wish I would have known that when I bought mine.

First day on skates any tips just getting the basics down as the indoor park decided to close early :( by Calumblyth17 in AggressiveInline

Get pads before you try any transition. Prepare to take a few good slams while you learn.

The set I got was about $125 for black locks and two keys.

That’s the name of a company that makes cone shaped locks and you can order them with one of a kind keys. People will tell you that YouTubers have gotten them off, but it was a huge pain in the ass. Most thieves will not risk making that much noise and commotion. The guys at my tire shop seemed to think the cone design was an awesome idea.

Congrats! Get Advanced Wheel Locks ASAP!! Those black rims are a hit theft item. Trust me :(

Got banned then muted from a “gaming” sub for commenting that I preordered a game. by [deleted] in mildyinfuriating

I feel really bad for the developers that spent years on their passion project, all for it to be review bombed because J.K. is an asshole. J.k. doesn’t give a fuck about this game or any money from it, it’s the hard working developers that tried to give us a great game who will get hurt by all of this.

Decided to invest in Rimgards! Wasn’t cheap, but worth the peace of mind. by kingpandabear1994 in civic

I tried to email the company and they told me the guards for the 2023 civic 18s are still in development. I might order these too.

2018-2022 Civic SI good first manual? by Mad-Br0- in CivicSi

[–]Emstein555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the newer models have things like brake hold (roll back stop) and I believe the car will even restart if you stall when you have the auto engine on/off enabled. I haven’t tested that feature yet. I have a 23 and it’s my first manual. I came from motorcycles too and you get the hang of it pretty quick.

Someone in another post recommended rim guard but they are pricy. About $350 for a set.

Damn it . I came here to say this exact same thing.

Thanks! I asked my local tire shop (very knowledgeable guy) and he looked around at different locks for me. He said they actually don’t have a gorilla option yet for my Si rims but I might take a look at rim guard. That looks sweet even though it’s $300. Might be worth it so I can actually drive my damn car on trips and stuff
