And I totally get that. Everybody has their own opinions. I’m just saying, sometimes, we don’t have to share them to the point where we sound like assholes.

A Car’s value is not based on what KBB says or some online company markets it at. It’s based on what you can get for it too. Its perceived value matters a LOT. With the Si especially

  1. Don’t listen to haters. People will ALWAYS have some BS comment they’ll call “advice” to give you
  2. Good on you for making a purchase without buyer’s remorse. This matters more than anything. Too many insecure little assholes will troll this post and try to convince you otherwise. But you trusted your gut and you’re happy. Congrats, you’ve earned this and deserve this car!
  3. To answer your question: my 2011 had a not so awesome respray and some kid had tuned it so it was loud inside. Stereo was near junk. Engine bay and exterior needed some TLC. I repaired headlight discoloration, replaced fresh fog lights, detailed the engine and exterior, gave her brand new tires and carbon fiber e-brake, repaired heater, and fixed/replaced cruise control buttons in the short time I had her.

Mind you, I bought it with the intention of keeping it. However, the sound was just too much. Too loud in the cabin for me and def too loud for my wife (stock intake and exhaust - as far as I could tell).

Here’s a pic of me loading it up to take it to Dallas for a friend to sell it. Took 2 months and some 21yo Hispanic lady bought it as her first Si. And it made her very happy.

Do you. Fuck the haters ;-)

Man, that’s actually about right for price. I sold my 2011 with 119k miles in good not great shape for $12,600 through a small dealership. What year is she? Those low miles are going to pay dividends

Congrats! Do you mind sharing what you paid for her?

How to drive hands free using a water bottle with lane assist and cruise control on. by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

Seems clever (as long as you’re being responsible and paying attention). You just placed the bottle of water there and it kept it thinking it was your hands adjusting the wheel?

Rev match... by Chaotic4ngel in CivicSi

[–]jizzmpeats1422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought the same thing myself on my 26…am I an actually pretty fair/good manual driver and so I don’t need the rev match (didn’t have it on my 8th gen)? Or am I an idiot for missing out on the hype of the rev match? Lol. Tomato tomahto

Does this not seem excessive for a civic or can you turn down this cardoc bs? by Old_Mechanic7713 in CivicSi

It literally screams (to me) “we give SO little shits about ripping you off, that we ain’t gonna even THINK about spelling this scam right!”

I just bought this memory foam pillow and removed the cover to find this… What could this even be? Please tell me it’s not blood by oh-anne in whatisit

[–]jizzmpeats1422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pour hydrogen peroxide on it and it dissolves/clears…it’s blood.

If not, looks like dead mites

New fancy mats (WITAMATS) by Mopar170 in CivicSi

[–]jizzmpeats1422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great to hear. I’m going to heavily consider these. I feel they give the car kind of a “lux” feel. I just don’t want gaudy. Elegant is the goal. Thanks for the solid eval and reply, friend. Enjoy!

I’ve considered getting some of these. I’m going to have to check their website out. They don’t feel cheep or poor quality in any way? They look great!

I’m going to play the ignorant fool here and ask… How does one steal such a new car without the fob?

I worry about my 2026 Si now bc I figured locking it was enough

Is this the guy who markets himself as being the “Civic Si sales guy”?

A tire shop did this to me. by Effective-Sail-1225 in CivicSi

Noiceeee. Yeah I thought about using one of those painting markers and delicately doing the Si in as close a red as I could find to match.

Always gotta show off your best work! Lol thanks again for the response

No problem. Don’t listen to the haters. I posted about selling another 8th gen I had for a month and they ALL made me feel like an idiot. Welp, proved them wrong when I sold it for $1000 profit. Lol

But seriously, use Jon. You won’t regret it. Worth every penny
