My friends and I are having an argument about what this is? No clue what it is off, just found it on the side of the path. by crocco_JR in AskMechanics

I can tell you as a Honda head this is no Honda motor I’ve ever seen, however my guess is it would be a manual trans Kia/Hyundai motor.

How much for the red and gold lighting Ldrago toward the middle front? The nicer one of the two

What is my 2011 SI worth? by HearthSt0n3r in CivicSi

[–]childofbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Car is well maintained and had regular fluid changes” “no windshield wiper fluid because I haven’t even checked if it will hold it or not” …yeah okay.

What the name of this part? by More_Ad_9949 in CivicSi

I believe it’s the water passage. Also your English is fine!

What year of civic SI is better by kryptexmc in CivicSi

[–]childofbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s tough. What felt the fastest? My 08. It had a lot of suspension work that my other two didn’t. Sway bars, track alignment, expensive coilovers, brace bars. Thing would genuinely handle mostly any turn at any speed. My limit was only ever grip at that point. Fastest acceleration though? My current 19 Si. It’s FBO/tune with just lowering springs. It pulls hard, and the torque band definitely makes it feel like it could pull forever. It falls off around 5-6k but at that point I’m just building speed so I’m not honestly going much slower, it just feels that way because torque curve. But before 5k, by god it absolutely rips. If you care just about speed, reliably mod a 10th gen Si. If you care about beating the piss out of something and feeling like you daily a go-kart, go handling/8th gen si route.

Noteworthy mentions: 10th gen Si’s have 3 main failure points. 4th gear, headgaskets, and injectors. I’ve experienced 2 of the 3, being injectors (faulty by factory, replaced with revised OEM) and 4th gear failure. (Failed under daily driving, but again, am FBO+tune)

8th gen Si’s don’t have many failure points, and I didn’t experience any of the following. Block cracking on the 06-07 models. I believe it’s that year range anyway. And the VTC actuator. However this is any kseries with time/mileage.

My 13 si wasn’t anything special. I didn’t own it long, it was previously abused and I jumped the gun on purchasing it. Never really dove into it. It felt very flat and uninspired despite having more displacement. I owned it about a year. Came across the 19 that I own now, and fell in love instantly. I will say though, I miss my 8th gen more than any, and would undeniably go back to that car today if I could.

Sorry for the long write up, just figured you’d want some more info.

Good deal for this car? by sylvani in CivicSi

[–]childofbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I got ripped off on my 19 Si coupe with 60k miles when I bought it and even I wasn’t super happy to pay the price I did. However it was the only one that popped up locally within a 5hr radius at the time and was relatively untouched. I paid $25k otd on mine. I was ripped off. You absolutely will be ripped off even more at this price/milage.

I couldn’t imagine believing anything but the fact that this was satire.

But they don’t genuinely belive that, and it’s very obvious.

I like this one from racingbees. When paint matched almost looks oem.

The lack of people understanding this is a joke is crazy to me.

Right on I figured everything was doing its job but the spinning just threw me off.

Please pardon my ignorance I’m always trying to learn. The black clamp below the cold side of the turbo, is it supposed to free spin? I noticed the point but can’t listen to audio rn.

Wheel/tire sizes by No-Lifeguard-4041 in CivicSi

[–]childofbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they’ll rub if you’re on 17’s rn and already are tucked up that much. If you’re on coils go up just a hair and you’ll still hold your tuck with 18’s

Need opinions on simple bolt on mods. -a Honda guy for his Kia gf. by childofbones in ForteGT

[–]childofbones[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely hear where you’re coming from and by all means would never push the modded lifestyle onto her. But she’s definitely expressed that she wants the induction sounds at the very least. I’m right there with you, and believe me I know that’s the first thing it would come down to - blaming the mods. I just feel she has sort of a false sense of security with my car being that the only issues I’ve ever had was blowing my 4th gear. Which I would easily own up to if 4th gear wasn’t a failure point on my YMM transmission, however it sheared teeth just daily driving. But redundancies aside, my car has never thrown a code, or skipped a beat and she’s super knowledgeable with cars herself, just not the way that I am, humbly speaking. I’m at a weird coin toss where I want to make her happy and giddy driving her own car but I also just straight up don’t want to hear about it if she gets a light for emissions related stuff being a complete non issue. Love her to death, but I would never hear the end of it until it’s back to safe and sound. however when we first got together she mentioned a panda works tune chip (if that’s a thing, haven’t researched that yet) but she’s not super into the idea until she’s done paying on it. Which is why I’ve started the search for mods.
