I changed pads twice, tires once, and nothing else aside from wipers and filters.
At 105k miles the rotors are fine and it just got front pads.
i bought the blacked out version of the stock headlight, i liked them
The car handles exceptionally well with them. The West Virginia turn pike is easily handled at 95mph. Downfall- tires need to be rotated sooner then normal and they always run thin way before their due date.
I had one for seven years and 80k miles and the only problem I had was the A/C compressor. It was two years out of warranty and Honda went 50/50 with me on it. I drove the piss out of it, multiple trips to the redline every day, etc., and it was flawless mechanically and never burned oil or made any unhappy noises.
Have Falkens on my '03 Civic Si. No problems in the wet and I'm in South Florida. Replaced original Michelins with them with no regrets.They're a pretty good tire in my opinion.
the last tires i had were kumho ecsta asx and they are assymetrical and when i looked at the they were different on the right and left side.
my 570+whp civic buddy terry couldnt get past 574whp... the plugs he was running, bkr7e race plug, had alittle brown speckle and melted the number 3 plug. after letting the car cool down for 30 mins or so, instead of retarding timing to run more boost he slaped in a set of ngk r5672a-9 plugs... and upped the boost 2psi from 27psi to 29psi... and BAM!!!!! 616whp.
I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
If there's a sore point on the Si, it's the brakes. It's that initial application is far too touchy, making smooth heel-and-toeing difficult especially when only light brake application is required. That abruptness proves annoying even in hard use, and the slightly spongy pedal feel doesn't help matters.
