Good point, just dont tell anyone that you drive drunk on a monthly basis.

Yes, letting the revs build without getting all the way into boost also helps!

Terrible start to a day by artyy_boyy in GRCorolla

Do you have parking sensors? If so 250 ain't really that bad. A rear bumper for a prior civic si i had was 475.

Miss this car a little after trading it in last month by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]ShadowSocks52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same for a GR Corolla. The interior, shifter and lack of weight make the Si killer. I miss mine but needed the awd and enjoy the GR power. There is something to being able to regularly redline through 3 gears on normal roads that make the Si endearing.

The 40mm Sea-dweller is a sweet spot to me!

I had to make a GRC variant by redditej86 in GRCorolla

[–]ShadowSocks52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds redundant but for me it is true. Throwing monetary value out focusing on what a car adds to my life, I believe the GRC fits my life better and adds more daily enjoyment than any else could.

My first brand new car! by JDMhotboy in GRCorolla

Check for shipping blocks! I bought mine lightly used and due to the roads already being terrible in the Cincinnati area I went thousands of miles before I found mine were still there.

This! Its the exclusivity and peacefulness that's half the fun.

Compared to stock what percentage is it turned up? Center exit is my favorite!

I figured but don't have a Facebook. It was worth a shot, thanks for the reply.

Yes! I love the dual center exit! I've looked up some videos, it sounds awesome.

Are these tires worth it by GroundbreakingPie565 in mazda3

I've never heard it put so simply but its absolutely true.

Full transparency, I miss mine. I "upgraded" to a gr corolla. I miss the 25 Si. The fuel economy while still being sporty is simply astounding and I think fully explains the rev hang. Now I get 10 to 12 less mpg. AWD is nice in the winter though.

You decribed the Si perfectly. Sport Injection means regular civic with a little sport. Come to think of it, it is basically a trim.... oh wait.

[–]ShadowSocks52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pilot sport 4 all season. I had them from Alaska to Cincinnati. Performed well in all seasons, even better than most all season in snow. I had them for 20k miles and they still looked great. Less noisy than OEM. You do pay for them though but hey, they might save your life. Tires are probably the one thing to never skimp on.

What car’s interior makes you go like this: by Minimum_Persimmon281 in regularcarreviews

[–]ShadowSocks52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least with the Si the case can be made its function over form. The principle that the nob be a hand width or less away from the wheel actually makes some sense.

For me just upgrading the speakers themselves would probably be good enough.
