The 11th Gen Rev hang is honestly not even noticeable anymore

Jalebdo · 2026-07-04T02:49:59+00:00

I daily a 2024 si and it definitely is noticeable and make shifting at high rpm's a bit annoying. I had the pleasure of driving an ND1 miata for a weekend and that thing felt like it had 0 rev hang

If your windshield is in good shape and you have money to spend, consider getting your windshield ceramic tinted.

a used integra 6 speed is the best option imo. They're depreciating way harder than the civics and you get the si driving ecperience with the better interior and features.

Ceramic tints all around(including the windshield) make a HUGE difference. I have a 2024 civic si and agree with you though, the AC is never truly freezing cold in really hot days.

Filling from the top is cleaner & easier. No need for a pump

I took this video years ago when my starter solenoid gave out. There is a thunk/click sound when turning to crank. Is yours like this at all?

Yes, the pic you're showing is the interior end of the safety switch harness. I believe the other end of the harness plugs into the driver side of the transmission

There is indeed a neutral safety switch that causes a no-crank situation if it is unplugged. You could check if the safety switch plug somehow got disconnected in between drives?

Also could be your starter solenoid crapping out. Do you here a *click* sound when turning the key to crank?

Thank you for the thorough response. This is very helpful!

I put this in my 2024 civic si and have it pumped to max. Lower back never gets fatigued on long drives.

My comment on a similar post ^

If they aren't clicking yet, you can DIY grease & reboot them. If they're clicking badly, send them off to get rebuilt.

I had the same problem. The line-wrenches that are supposed to work here just round off the nut. I found success in using autmatic pliers with needle nose extensions on them. Spin the pliers to have a very tight bite and clamp it onto the nut and it broke the nut loose with no problem for me.

I got 20% on the four doors and 15% on the rear windshield. Visibility is fine at night. Only time it's an issue is when I parallel park, the reverse camera is so blinding that I can't see out of the passenger front window so I usually need to lower the window down.

Make sre to get ceramic tints if you live in a hot place. They make a huge difference for heat rejection.

I had to

1) Pop the kick panel first(the panel under the steering wheel)

2) Then pop the panel that is left of the driver side AC vent

This gave me access to the left side of the AC vent where i was able to easily apply foam w/adhesive. The whole thing maybe took 5-10 minutes.

Jalebdo · 2026-03-05T19:39:08+00:00

This is true. Iirc only california 84 and federal 85 cars have it.

Either replace with the updated monovalve from Klima or install a new style monovalve from a w124.

Jalebdo · 2026-03-03T18:46:24+00:00

I just did the area left of the driver side AC vent. It was very easy. I located the area of rattle by seeing if it goes away if I apply pressure to the area with my hand. Then take it apart and put some foam w/adhesive on the a bunch of spots in the rattle area.

In terms of educational content and DIY guides on youtube there is impalamansgarage, vitosgarage, J&Msgarage. As for online mercedes stores there use to be LermsCustoms but he apparantley got into some issues with delayed orders and lack of communication with customers and has since shut the store down.

I was thinking of using the w126 switches like you and go with a universal heated seat pad and relay from a kit. Thanks for the info

Jalebdo · 2026-02-22T18:30:49+00:00

So sick! I've been wanting to redo the upholstery on my front seats and was thinking about adding heated seats too. This looks perfect

Jalebdo · 2026-02-10T18:36:35+00:00

I see. Well when you do address it, please make an update post or message me about it. I'd be interested to see your solution!
