I haven't been to West Broad in a long time as I live in Mechanicsville but I bought my Si for MSRP at the Mechanicsville store. 58k does seem very high for what was a low-mid 40's car.

The CARB legal version doesn't allow you to disable rev hang but to be honest I've gotten used to it. There is a slight delay in power as you quickly shift through the gears. To be honest I don't know if it's an emission feature or if it preserves the clutch. Not really a big deal, and no, the...

As others have said here, the ride is firm but not overly so in my opinion. It rides way better than my previous car a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 and spring/shock suspension. I put Bilsteins on it because of the awful ride quality over bumps and it improved but not nearly as much as I'd...

West Broad Honda in Richmond Va and Mechanicsville Honda in Mechanicsville Va. Both Dealerships are owned by the same company, Page Auto Group. Mechanicsville is a relatively low volume dealer and I don't think they receive that many allotments of Si's. Maybe worth a call though if you are...

Yeah kind of a bummer there aren't any readily available pads for this car yet. I watched a youtube video of an Si owner doing a track day with his car and the biggest issue was the lack of braking and a soft pedal after the event. Car and Driver also measured something like a 300 foot stop from...

So I pulled a front wheel to access the front caliper and had intentions of pulling the pads to measure, but to my surprise the caliper had a large retaining clip holding the body of the caliper to the knuckle/caliper bracket. Of all of my many Honda cars I've owned and serviced, I've never seen...

Cool thanks for the info. Do you have a picture of the caliper itself? I'll compare pad dimensions this weekend.

Sounds very reasonable! Glad to hear the car performed so well from the start.

I'll take a look at the stock pads this weekend if I have time. Looking to install a stock FK8 rear sway I bought from ebay first if the weather holds up. Supposed to be ~65 F here in Va on Saturday and 37 F and snow showers on Sunday. :)

Was the 240 or stage one tune recommended by Hondata? Just curious why you didn't run the higher 250 tune. Maybe to preserve the clutch?

Thanks for the info! So you are pretty confident the caliper is the same across the '22 Civic Si, Accord Sport and RLX? Someone posted a picture of a 10th gen Si pad with an 11th gen Si pad and they were different. I believe it was Unity Performance:

You can easily reflash the tune to stock beforehand and then revert back to the tune you originally installed.

Car looks great. Stock sway bars? Interested in hearing about the brakes as well. I've been looking for replacement pads for my Si and no one has developed any for the caliper as far as I know.

I haven't dynoed the car to verify Hondata's claims but I suspect their numbers are "crank" hp and not at the wheels. I believe they measured 225/210 stock. Their goal was to increase hp and broaden the torque curve. The car feels significantly quicker especially with the relatively short...

Thanks for the inside info and I do feel bad for both dealerships and folks who are looking to buy a car. A free market society unfortunately can create the situation we are seeing now in the auto industry. I understand SOME markups on automobiles as dealerships need to make money by moving...

2022 with about 1700 miles on it so far and ~1000 with the Hondata 250/250 tune.

Gotcha. That's what I usually do as well on oil and transmission drain bolts.

Did you need to replace a washer on the drain plug? I remember the other Honda manuals had them. Thanks!

Excellent! I have some sitting on a shelf in my garage waiting to be put in. Waiting until This weekend when the weather will be in the 60's here in central Va. I used to use Motul MTF in my Integra many years ago and had good results but looking forward to using the Amzoil.

Have you driven the Tail of the Dragon? Given your location, I would think that is something of a must. It's one of my "bucket list" items to do the Dragon/Cherohala Skyway. Now that I have my Si, it seems like I need to do this sooner rather than later.
