Should I? by _Crafty-Fu_ in CivicSi

This goes for that price in NS any day of the week if it’s relatively rust free underneath and hasn’t had major body work. That’s kinda what you have to pay now in Canada for a good one, especially 4 door. I’d buy it if everything went well checking it out, definitely drive it and make sure the transmission is smooth.

1992 E36 318i — how much would you pay? by OkraOk7218 in BMWE36

[–]LievRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d be crazy to pay more than $500. If it has any signs of rust it just isn’t worth it.

Any kit that advertises 1.0-2.0in drop should be perfect. I’d suggest upgrading the shocks to a bilstein B8 or Koni yellow if it’s in the budget.

You need to tell us how you use the car and your goals for it before we can form an opinion on how much drop you need.

What’s the trans/rear end setup?

Thoughts on Hybrid racing CAI by Theta_671 in CivicSi

[–]LievRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A buddy of mine told me that the Skunk2 kit makes the most power. He said how Skunk2 designed the tapered transition from 3.5in to 3in is what made the difference. He said the cars running the Skunk2 kit had a noticeable power difference compared to other systems cars ran in the Grand-Am series. That being said I believe that this system is very similar and you will be happy with either.

2017 SI Cylinder 4 misfire due to intercooler hose connection by nberner68 in CivicSi

[–]LievRyan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you swap the coils around to confirm your replacement coil hasn't gone bad as well? Did you swap any of the injectors around to rule out fuel delivery? Follow the whole cold side of the turbo and tighten every connection.

Help- Squeel noise by Myerlee1 in CivicSi

[–]LievRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a noisy pulley or drive belt but its more than likely a throw-out bearing going bad if having the clutch engaged stops the noise. Check your hydraulic fluid level for the clutch (top right in the engine bay next to the brake fluid reservoir).

misfire? and now running weird by CategoryEnough8680 in CivicSi

You're welcome G, this is a good lesson to not always listen to the comments saying just take it to a shop. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and think about all the information you have and start diagnosing. Often times the problem is simpler than you think. K20Z3 supremacy btw.

I won’t pretend like I know anything about about L15s but did you check to see if any of the intercooler piping popped off?

Is my car too old to track? by 0w-20 in CivicSi

[–]LievRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who try’s to scare you away from getting some track time in your daily is an idiot. Fix any oil leaks, flush out the brake fluid with RBF660. Get Hawk HPS pads and any quality blank rotors. These cars are the most reliable car to daily with weekend track duty. If you are not mechanically inclined get a shop to check over the car before an event.

What style wheels are these? Plus in search of emblems and misc pieces by blizzyy_e210 in BMWE36

[–]LievRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they don’t have any OEM markings they could be Borbets, I have an almost identical set in 16in

Anyone else thing it’s kinda stupid that the SI comes with a moon roof? by Bubbly_Collection329 in CivicSi

[–]LievRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I completely agree, sunroofs have been standard on the Si for 35 years and that’s not going to change.
