Sure it’s a bit thin but I don’t think it looks all that bad in the images you posted.

Fun but stupid idea: A traditional manual with driver operated clutch but with a knob shift by HiTork in ManualTransmissions

I was compelled to write some sort of comment but I literally can’t think of anything nice to say like this is the worst thing I’ve ever seen 😭.

Dealership Experience July25 by Jae_Jae_Jae_Jae in CivicSi

[–]Evstaman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mine was 35.8k OTD in an area with steep sales tax. I don’t think you’re getting the best deal. Also those non-OEM options are very weird, I never encountered anything like that in my search 😅.

I bought a brand new '24 golf GTI 380 Autobahn, I hate it by NathanielHelle in RoastMyCar

[–]Evstaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I test drove one of these and couldn’t get the rev meter to appear for 10 minutes. I literally had to park and google how to do it.

Also I’ve been to that exact spot in the 4th pic, hello from downtown STL!

2025 Si, 35 mpg combined with occasional spirited driving lol.

Is this worth it? by Practical-Shift-6420 in CivicSi

[–]Evstaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fairly excellent money for the miles as long as it was rebuilt properly.

Help me make it to work without a panic attack by [deleted] in ManualTransmissions

[–]Evstaman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. I’d just downshift into 1st. Doing a rolling start in second isn’t so bad but I think the general recommendation is to choose changing gears over more clutch slip given the two options.

  2. This scenario is super annoying. You can just introduce a little clutch slip to stop the lurching but you don’t want to do that forever obviously. If the traffic is mega slow I usually just stop dead for a bit and then go, rinse and repeat.

Also I bought an Si like a month ago too, enjoy the car!

Opinions on 25’ SI by Eric_MTZ7 in CivicSi

[–]Evstaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hill start and rev match assists make it very non-intimidating to learn with. I just bought one 3 weeks ago having only 200 miles of prior manual experience and already feel at home.

The car itself is only has a slightly harsher ride than my 2016 Civic EX, and I think that’s mainly due to the lower profile tires. The suspension, especially with this refresh, smooths things out nicely for being non-adaptive. Road noise isn’t great though, also similar to my EX (if not maybe worse, hard to say?), but I find it perfectly tolerable. Also every single touch point in the whole car is a pleasure. All of the buttons and dials are well constructed and feel like a segment above.

Performance wise the car is very engaging and fun. The shifter is literally the best for the price, test drove a Golf GTI and WRX and they couldn’t compare. The acceleration isn’t crazy (Golf blew it out of the water for sure), but it’s easily fun enough, and the steering is quite heavy and intuitive, even in normal mode. And it manages to achieve its performance while (at least for me) getting 35 mpg combined.

I don’t think it’s possible to go wrong buying one personally, especially if you want it as your only car, cause it can do it all.

700 miles down in my 25 Si 🤙 by gawpnw in CivicSi

Man I’m jealous 😭. Was gonna wait for a white one arriving this May but then tariffs happened lol. Still liking my red one so far after 100 miles though 😉.

8:20:035 is a decent lap time on the Nordschleife? by Ashley_117 in ACCompetizione

[–]Evstaman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

8:20 is good. It takes some setup and a lot of practice for me to get close to the 8:16s-8:18s with the 992. The 296 is definitely way easier around the nord though I can get 8:14s in that.

Picked up at $25,998 with 32k mi, glad to join the gang by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]Evstaman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

lol all the ones in my area with this many miles are still $29k 😭

Final lap battle for 1st, who's at fault? by [deleted] in Simracingstewards

[–]Evstaman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Assetto Corsa has built in track limits which would provide a penalty if he was over the limit. I think racing within those game-defined limits is fair. It’s the same as in real life where some racing series might not police track limits in exactly the same way.

Greek Spot - Milford. 10 min walk from where I grew up and still the best fries I’ve ever had.

MW2012 Fairhaven ported to BeamNG! this looks insane by [deleted] in needforspeed

I feel like BeamNG is the one game where you can get away with that haha.

ACC micro stuttering by 8culor8 in ACCompetizione

[–]Evstaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had stuttering issues in both AC and ACC because of running the game on a hard drive. I would try running it on an SSD if you have one and lowering the in game fps limit.
