Re: control arm problems leading to cupped tires

I have an '07 Si with the HFP suspension (lowered about an inch) and installed the '08 Si upper control arms as soon as they were available. I have less than one degree of negative camber and have...

Re: how does the oil life meter work (killyourscene)

According to the holy Honda service manual, the computer keeps track of the average engine RPM, the average speed of the car, the number of miles driven, adds in the number of high rev events, throws...

Re: (chiggin) Overheating Rotors

Gentlemen:

I'm not sure the Honda rotors can be warped by heat with the OEM pads (I'm also not sure they can't!). I had my '06 EX out on Road Atlanta for PDX's several times and the brakes always...

Re: Thinking about buying a 2008 Honda Civic Si (ixion)

I bought my first Honda in September '06, an EX sedan, because I travel about a 100K a year and I wanted the high mileage in something other than an "econo-box". When I traded it in on an '07 Si...

Re: Brakes after track weekend (chiggin)

I do the PDX at Road Atlanta every chance I get. The first trip out the brakes faded pretty baddly so I replaced the lines with Goodman Stainless Steel, changed to DOT4 fluid and went back. They...

Problems with Skunk2 rear camber plate bushings

OK guys, here's the drill. I put the HFP suspension on my '07 Si and didn't like the negative camber (I autocross the car) so I put a set of Skunk2 plates on the rear, set the suspension at 0...

Re: (jewjew bean)

Actually we do race Civics in the US. There are several in the local SCCA SSB (Showroom Stock) class that do well against the BMW Z-4 and the Pontiac Solstice. The Sedan is stiffer and handles...

Re: HFP suspension kit vs. other options (jaepalm)

For what it's worth, I swapped the original rear sway bar for the Progress 23mm on my '07 Si Sedan. It cut down on body roll and improved handling greatly but didn't affect ride quality. After a...

Re: Ecsta MX vs. Azenis RT-615 (Lamb)

For what it's worth, I run the Azenis on my '07 Si for autocross and daily driving. I have a moderately heavy foot so about 15K is about all I can expect out of them but I like the way they stick on...

Retrofit '08 Si rear control arms to '07?

OK, maybe this has been discussed but I can't find it (I'm an old dog and this is a new trick)! I have an '07 Si set up with the HFP suspension kit and a Progress 23mm rear bar. The negative camber...

Re: (97Ej6) Comment on Autocross Rules

I've been autocrossing my '07 Si since July '07 but I have to run in STX because of the mods. I added the HFP suspension, 23mm Progress rear sway bar, Skunk2 rear camber adjusters (to take out the...
