27Won RMM

Once upon a time, i was a Civic SI owner, but I couldn't just be happy with what I had, so I had to upgrade. And when cleaning up the garage make space for my next obsession, I found the 27Won RMM I'd had on my Civic SI.

Rather than just throw it away, I thought I'd give it away.

I don't see Civic SIs very often around here, but when I do, it makes me remember the little sedan fondly.

The next time I see one in a parking lot, I plan on gently placing the slightly used RMM on the windshield wiper to hopefully find a new home.

While the likelihood the new owner of this RMM will be on this sub-reddit is incredibility slim, its not completely zero...

If this gets any attention, I'll post a follow up when I come across a parked SI to re-home this RMM.

Actual break in period?

Getting my 2026 si Friday. Dealership said nothing about a break in period. And both my 2016 turbo sport sedan and 2021 sport sedan said nothing about a break in period.

Is this legit? Youtubers and forums keep talking about a 1000km break in period...

How much of this is superstition due to old school mentality vs real life?

I want to drive my car and enjoy it! That means flooring it and testing how it feels...

Also

Wtf is up with auto engine turn off when you stop? That is terrible for a turbo... can this be permanently turned off?

Civic with a laptop 🤓

as you can tell from these pics, she is far from perfect but last weekend i put a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing as well as a lightweight clutch.. should’ve done some research because i didn’t know it would start misfiring due to the lightweight flywheel. so i did some research found out i needed a flashpro or ktuner so I coincidentally found a deal on marketplace this morning for a ktuner. 18 years old with little mechanical knowledge very little tuning knowledge and did this all myself today. honestly pretty proud of myself although it was fairly easy and youtube helped a lot but everything is running good now. any tips with the ktuner is much appreciated:) 2012 civic si (9th gen)

Heavily modified 10th gen 11th gen owners please explain 🙏

Why buy an SI and heavily modify it when you can buy a type r if your planning on dumping the money into it why even waste the time ??? Don’t get wrong I had the 10th gen si bought it cpo in 2019 I thought it was a great car I did little bolt ons lowered it wheels but in the back of my head I always said I never wanted to go to far because then I should of just bought a type r. I see so and so many 11th gen’s extremely modify I wonder with the money you dumped into it why not just go with the type R. Just a question wanna hear someone’s reasoning from the other side not here to be hostile I Iove the SI.

Is it a good idea to sell my 2017 LX for a 2015 SI?

I am turning 18 in a few months and I want to buy a car I really enjoy driving which will last me a while. I currently have a 2017 civic LX-P with 65k on it and in good condition which is fine but very boring as a daily. I still want civic reliability and affordability but I would like a more fun and engaging driving experience. Should I sell my 2017 and buy myself a 9th gen si sedan for my 18th?

Big Update for Car Enthusiasts: Real-Time OBD2 Analytics Like Engine Load Now on CarPlay

Hey everyone,
A lot of users from my previous CarPlay post requested OBD2 support, so after a lot of work, the feature is finally live in Speedometer: Driving Tracker.

You can now see and analyze real-time OBD2 vehicle data directly from CarPlay, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch (via live activity).

One thing I personally found really interesting while testing was seeing how different driving styles affect engine behavior throughout an entire trip, not just live gauges while driving.

For example, things like:
• Engine Load
• RPM
• Throttle Position
• Coolant & Oil Temperature
• Fuel Usage
• Mass Air Flow
• Intake/Ambient Air Temperature
• And more

I added a sample trip summary screenshot below showing how the app now visualizes engine performance for a drive.

It even works with automatic trip recording through Shortcuts automations (when OBD2 device is connected), so trips can start recording automatically without manually opening the app.

One important note: every car exposes different OBD2 sensors, so some vehicles may not provide all data points shown in the screenshot.

The goal wasn’t just to make another OBD2 gauge app, but to make driving history and car data feel more visual, insightful, and actually enjoyable to revisit later.

Other existing features in the app:
• CarPlay trip tracking
• 3D route playback
• Speed-colored trip replay
• Video recording with speed + map overlays
• Fuel, maintenance, and expense tracking
• Vehicle-based analytics & comparisons
• iCloud sync across Apple devices
• Privacy-first experience (no ads/tracking/signups)

Now it’s becoming one of the most comprehensive driving tracker apps available on any platform, whether iOS or Android! (iOS version is live, Android version is in progress)

Would genuinely love feedback from fellow car enthusiasts on what data, analytics, or visualizations you’d like to see next.

Head studs (blown head gasket)

Blew my headgasket at 37k miles. Only had a prl hvi. Brought it into the shop (covered under warranty). The service tech is my cousin and he recommended arp head studs so it would be less likely to happen again. Only thing is they are sold out everywhere. It would be ideal to put new head studs in while the car is taken apart and the only ones I found in stock that will ship within the week are the inline pro m10. Anyone have experience with these or can recommend something that is in stock? (11th gen si)

2012 civic si clutch suggestions

I have a 2012 civic si which is FBO with an RBC. Tore it apart again to install, stage2 cams, 86lbs duel valve springs, type s oil pump, 72mm throttle body and a header. Hoping to make around 250-270WHP. Wanted to know whether a stage 1 clutch or even the OEM clutch would be enough to support this? I eventually plan to turbo it at well so would a stage 1 clutch support low boost on this setup?
I daily drive this car so was hoping to avoid a stage 2 clutch but if I have to I will.

Clutch upgrade 10th gen

I have a 2020 civic si and am about to be full bolt on with god mode tune from phearable. My clutch has already been slipping before putting in my catless downpipe so I have been looking for a clutch upgrade. The one I’ve seen recommended the most is the RV6 Type R Retrofit clutch with the Exedy clutch kit. I am wondering if I should get the Stage 0, 1, or 2. I am not planning to put a big turbo and flex fuel yet but I do not want to switch out the clutch later on if I do. What stage should I go with?

11th Gen Invidia Q300 Drone?

How’s the drone on the Invidia Q300 on an otherwise totally stock Si?

I have an AWE Touring on the car now and there’s really not much drone/resonance/vibration in the car, but the volume of the exhaust is just too loud for me.

Is the Q300 the way to go? Or maybe Apexi? Found a great deal on the Q300 but want some opinions first!

Thanks!

I did it... 🍊

Not sure if anything will ever replace my red '14 baby but here goes nothing. 🍊 48k miles. She's fresh.

Side note, I don't remember the serpentine belt/area being so noisy/whiny on my previous Si? Should I be concerned?

Thanks gang 🤙

8th Gen Fuel Issue

So I’m having an issue solving a problem. My civic had randomly stalled and would fire back up. I shot some started fluid and would get a small fire up but wouldn’t run.

I went ahead and replaced the pump. It had started just the one time after replacement. Drove it and when I turned it off, wouldn’t start back up again.

Now what I’ve found is that if I shot starter fluid into it and start it. After shooting starter fluid for about 5 seconds the engine will then stay on. But if I turn it off, it won’t start back up.

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
