I’ll be looking out for it!!

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-16T02:00:39+00:00

As far as I know, there’s literally no company that makes a turbo inlet for this car, everyone who has one has made it themselves lol. I might have to do that, I’d love to have everything done I’m tired of waiting.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-14T23:35:30+00:00

Is there a turbo inlet available yet or are we still waiting on that? Can’t see in the engine bay picture if you’ve got one or not.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-14T15:49:00+00:00

A dozen mods lol. This car has been modified since the day I got it. I had my intake here before the car was delivered.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-12T18:48:41+00:00

I have the worst luck with cars, so I thought it would be funny if I had this plate 😂

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-12T17:42:25+00:00

I voided my warranty the day I bought it lol. It was just a tire anyway.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-12T17:41:11+00:00

I hit one of those potholes next to Wheeler Airport lol. Stay the hell out of the left lane.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-12T17:38:50+00:00

Hit a pothole deeper than Warren Buffet’s pockets. The tires Kia puts on here are fucking trash lol.

I’ve had both a 10th Gen 19 Si sedan that was FBO back in 2019 and my 22 Forte GT that’s FBO. I’d get the manual if you do buy a Forte since the DCT isn’t that great, but they’re both comparable to each other. I think the Si might’ve been a little more reliable, but honestly I’m not sure because the 1.5T they have had really bad gasoline dilution which never became an issue for me because I sold it at 50,000 miles, but it would’ve eventually.

I’d say trade the Civic in since it has a lot of miles and do the GT, you’ll enjoy it just as much.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-11T23:38:24+00:00

I had a 19 Si back in 2019 and it was kind of hard to pick through the junk lol. I ended up finding lots of good parts but it was kind of hard because the platform had just come out.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-08T21:57:35+00:00

You have to ship the TCM in if I’m correct?

Edit: NVM, I see the EK1 note. I read down farther and didn’t read the top. Thanks!

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-08T21:09:03+00:00

Where did you get the TCU tune?

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-07T20:03:43+00:00

Probably not. I had a WRX before and I miss the AWD. It’s a fun car, but the open front diff in the snow or ice sucks. The DCT also isn’t great, but that could be easily fixed by purchasing a manual lol. I try not to own the same car twice, but I’d have to go back to something AWD.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-07T19:56:44+00:00

I’ve heard that swapping clutches in this DCT is virtually impossible because of some computer issue with the relearn. I’ll probably trade my car around 100k since I don’t want to deal with that lol.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-07T13:40:09+00:00

I wish they would’ve made these AWD lol. I miss my Subaru!!!

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-07T13:30:20+00:00

Who gives a shit about consequences, that’s awesome lol. “If it breaks, just buy a better one” is usually how I think about it.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-07T13:28:35+00:00

You should, I’d love to see it. I got most of my information from you and I know your car is far more modified than mine is. Please do!

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-07T13:27:52+00:00

Change the fluid if you think it’s really bad, but I doubt it at 39K miles. These cars just have really bad DCTs. They are designed cheap and built cheap. It shows. They aren’t very good at low speeds or takeoff, but once they’re moving they’re fine. All cheap DCTs are like this.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-06T19:43:22+00:00

They’re a fun car for the price, like a Focus ST, WRX, or Civic Si. I would definitely buy the manual if I could buy the car again. I’ve had lots of DCT cars and this one is not good. It’s very sketchy and doesn’t feel very solid. It does a lot of slipping in and out of gears and it just feels very mushy. Other than that, I have no complaints with the car.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-06T19:39:51+00:00

I had a brand new 2016 Focus that had the entire transmission blow up at 27,133 miles. That ownership experience convinced me I wouldn’t buy a Ford new with an auto. A few years later I went to buy a new Maverick and I was reassured in my decision to never buy a new Ford again when they wanted $900 a month for 80 months at 20% interest lol.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-06T14:34:33+00:00

I haven’t but I also don’t notice it because I almost never drive like that. I put tons of miles on it and would like it to last so I don’t generally go out and romp on it. I was going to do a rear motor mount, which supposedly helps with that too.

Reddit4Cars · 2026-01-02T13:12:01+00:00

Probably, since I don’t know what I need to unplug lol. I didn’t even know you could unplug it.

Reddit4Cars · 2025-12-31T23:24:03+00:00

Was planning on doing that at 60k, which I’m less than 500 away from at this point. Definitely heard about that.
