2006-2011 8th gen Civic Si DIY TSX big brake kit (BBK) install
Today I am installing a OEM + front brake upgrade into my 2007 Honda Civic Si (FA5). OEM TSX calipers, brackets, Brembo blank rotors, Brembo ceramic pads, Stoptech braided stainless steel brake lines. This is basically bolt on process, with the exception of trimming the dust shields.
Hope this helps anyone wanting to take on this project.

2000 EM1 EK CIVIC SHIFTER & LINKAGE PART 2: K-Tuned Shifter & Energy Suspension Shifter Bushings

Today I finish up the work we began in the previous video. The linkage and shifter were very sloppy and here we find out exactly why now that they are off the car. I will show you how to tighten up the play in the linkage by rolling the pins with a ball peen hammer. We also replace the soft, tired OEM rubber shifter bushings with some new urethane Energy Suspension bushings. The K-Tuned short s...

2000 CIVIC SI EM1 D2 Coilovers riding rough-SLAMMED ON WASHERS!!!

Today I inspect the D2 coilovers which were already installed on my EM1 when I purchased it. I noticed that they were riding very rough, especially in the rear and I figured the needed a quick adjustment. Boy I was in for a big surprise! I found that all four sides had about an inch of washers acting as bumpstops which was restricting suspension travel and causing the car to bottom out on the w...

      @cruz_control3925 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is a few extra millimeters of travel now, but its hardly noticeable and I the TSX brake setup grips hard. An upgrade to a Acura TL brake master cylinder would eliminate this extra travel but to me it's not worth it at this point. If I have to replace the master cylinder in the future then I will consider switching over.

      *Credit (or blame) for that tone belongs to FIAMM's (Fabbrica Italiana Accumulatori Motocarri Montecchio) successful air horns from the 1960s onward. Popularity of FIAMM's dual short red air horns package (OE on Alfas, FIATs, Ferraris, Lambos, etc.) dominated the worldwide aftermarket. To compete, Hella's objective was to create a compressorless, loud, distinctive and somewhat annoying note that cut thru ambient Autobahn/Autostrada noise. Now, although they have a slightly lower composite dB output, Hella's SharpTones (yellow frames) are even more distinctive and annoying. So in that respect Hella is killin' it. Cheers!*
