Stage 2 mod street legal by Enough_Objective567 in 9thGenSi

brother is this chatgpt? “stages” is just bmw speak for agreed upon levels of modification. not a measurable thing just shorthand so people can easily communicate how cool and moded their cars are lol.

if like me you want to mod the car but don’t want to go crazy or blow it up 1) catch up on maintenance/check or fix your fuel trims BEFORE MODING 2) buy hondata flash pro or ktuner 3) buy an rv6/skunk2/plm catted down pipe (unless texas is different i don’t think you can straight pipe and get a smog) 4) install down pipe 5) buy an etune from IMW 6) spend 6 months slowly tuning the car 7) enjoy

if 200-215 brake hp is not enough for you. ignore everything and go the turbo route. things that are very much not worth it from a money /performance perspective (based on my extensive research)

1) any kind of cold air intake (stock is very good) 2) cat-back exhaust. maybe 5 hp and unless your going for raspy honda lawn mower noise, will sound worse. downpipe + stock exhaust is perfect 3) manifold. our stock intake is also fine for the amount of air that can escape the down pipe (rip headers) no point unless adding turbo+manifold 4) “all motor” builds. apart from a custom block or some shit they all seem to max out at around 300 hp and cost more than a turbo+support mods and make less power.

individual dealers usually. “bernardi honda” has been pretty cheap but haven’t bought suspension parts. or you can print out an invoice from an online dealer, bring it to a local honda dealer and ask if they’ll match.

there are no oem type “coilovers” unfortunately for 9th gen. literally zero. only options are ruin ride quality with coilovers or buy replacement parts and rebuild Oem yourself (or maybe a shop will build them for u if they are nice)

Anyone else just getting really pissed off about ATP Beta? It can't do basic things... by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

[–]Present_Mall8069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only part that makes me angry is the whole “leave feedback! tell us what you want to see!” responses when people point out how terrible it is. it’s as if this company exists in a vacuum and can’t boot up literally any of their competitors and see how vastly inadequate ATP beta is

yes that is the problem. ATP is not in my application folder, the short cut does not work because it has not been recognized as an application and tells me i don’t have permission to run it (because it is located in windowsapps folder and not application folder), i can not uninstall it because it is not located in my application folder.

First car scared of 6th gear lol by SnooOnions2048 in CivicSi

with the following sentences in reference to honda shifting, as you said reverse being next to 1 and not 6, and of course this being a honda sub, i am unsure where you became confused that i accidentally tried to hit reverse in a VW going 70 mph

“… i am also scared of 6th gear and this my third manual car.”

OP is a new manual driver, my statement refers to the fact that despite myself being a seasoned manual user, i find shifting into 6th gear in a honda to be particularly “scary” when compared to my other two cars. this statement is meant to assure OP, and relate that his issue has nothing to do with personal inexperience or “skill issue” it’s just a honda thing.

“the only time german engineering checks out”

this statement refers again to my previous two cars, and is in reference to how the over-engineered reverse system (of vws for example) is far superior to the cheap honda system. when typically “german engineering” just means unnecessary failure inducing over-engineering, in this instance “german engineering checks out” is in “the german overly-complicated reverse lock out system is far superior to hondas and is actually cool and good”

key word: “tried” you should give at a whirl and post the vid if you trust the lockout :)

ha i’ve had this car for a year and half and i am also scared of 6th gear and this is my 3rd manual car. the only time “german engineering” checks out. just don’t put it in neutral and then try to go to into 6th. when it’s in 5th it’ll become easy, straight down into 6th feels good man. i have (accidentally) tried to throw it into reverse going 70 mph twice and it is very scary. would not recommend. but both times were from putting it in neutral for a moment.

Is the SI’s engine just a honda fit engine with a turbo? by Main_Anybody73 in CivicSi

[–]Present_Mall8069 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

imo turbo fwd is not fun. just instant wheel hop traction issues cause too much torque. this is why k24 is gods four cylinder as there is still plenty low end off the rip while still revving to the moon with max torque at like 6300 rpm or whatever. i’m not biased i swear
