ok so this happened to me about 3 times......

I was hitting it in first gear ( with VSA off ) and i banged 2nd tires spun a little then i heard a big bang like something broke car drove fine but is that supposed to happen? it also happened in the rain when i banged 2nd and it spun alot not hopping but just spinning and then bang! and i let off the throttle and no other noises or anything... anybody experience this before?

 

My guess is...the sound you are experiencing is wheel hop.

*nevermind...just read that you said it wasn't hopping*

 

that used to happen to me too in my base. its more like a thud right? not sure how to explain it but it doesnt happen anymore to me. u should be fine.

btw fix up your grammar man. i had to read that a couple times before i could figure out what was going on

 

no it was more of a breaking sound like an axle snap but i checked underneath the car and nothing seemed to be broken or out of place but somebody had told me to check all my mounts and suspension bolts to make sure nothing is loose so thats what im going to do thanks

 

what year is your car?? is a coupe sedan or si

 

08 Mugen Si

 

how offen does it make the noise??is it only when you bang 2nd??

 

it happened about 3 times and yes only when i hit 2nd hard but it always doesnt do it just those 3 times here and there ill get on it and it wont do it, it"ll just chirp and keep moving with no noise

 

i just chk for any service bullentins and i found none i would suggest to bring it to a local dealer n chk it out.its under warrany so it should be no charge. i work at a dealer new york. if there a problem they see it should be covered. just dont tell them you are banging gear when it happens. make up something so they dont give you b/s for beating on the car. is the car modded at all that it will void your warranty??

 

no car is completely stock and alright ill go to my local dealer maybe next weekend when i have a day off of work thanks

 

yes its just severe wheel hop. mostly when shifting hard into second. heard on many Si's. i think it comes from the upper ps mount. with the flex may contact body frame and make noise

 

my friend has the same problem on his. its only happened a couple times. i think its the suspension.

 

well, first of all would like toshare that i have lots of experiences with civics all the time......the think is that i work at a honda dealer.....so the main point is that this is totally normal......the noise is something normal....i believe is because it has the 50/50 split limited slip on it....in think thats what it si....but any ways dont worry it happens to me too.....and to 10 out of 10 civics si's that i drive daily......

 

What are you doing redline clutching on customer's cars? Remind me not to go to your dealership.

 

my mugen dose it too. ive been trying to figure out a way to fix that, scared the crap out of me the first time it happened.

 

well..... what can i say.......when you do something to a car you have to test drive it....or not?.....
if you have check engine or customers come back because they heard the same shi**t like us.....well.....we have to test drive it....any ways...it seems like you are the expert what can i say......thanks any ways......

 

i gave you the benifit of the doubt in the other thread with that dude talking about your typing but it sounds like you're just as much of an *** as the other guy.

 

IDK if this helps, but i was having similar problems with my 08 FA5. I took it to the dealer and we did a test drive on which I was able to replicate the issue for the tech. He took it for the day and he ended up loosening the subframe and suspension components, aligning everything, and re-torquing everything to factory specs. Since he did that, I haven't heard the banging/clanking (for lack of better words) since. PM me if you want more info.

suspension

 

the problem is that its a helical lsd. so it doesnt make a bang noise lol
