OEM Honda Starter motor

Rating 5.0

On the newest updated OEM starter for the 9th gen, that washer is almost 3x thicker than the previous models. This allows for more secure tooth engagement. That and the TSB fixed mine... Mine has been grind-free for over two years...

Pros: secure tooth engagement, grind-free operation

OEM Honda Manual transmission
TailDragger9
  • Shift feel:
Rating 5.0

This Si has, by a long shot, the smoothest, and most forgiving manual transmission I've ever driven (including a few dozen work vehicles and test drives). Just limit the amount of time you spend slipping the clutch getting into first, and it should last you a very long time. With some practice, you can get to the point where you don't slip the clutch at all going up through the gears. It's not a bad car to learn on at all.

Pros: smoothest, most forgiving, long lasting

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I recently put Hawk Performance Ceramics (yellow box) on my FL5 for daily driving to combat the insane amount of brake dust that OEM pads have. So far they feel really good! They seem to have an initial bite that is a little more aggressive than the OEM pads, but still have good modulation. FWIW I live in the south and I haven't yet driven them in cold temps. I've read that ceramics can have a weaker initial bite when temps are near freezing but I haven't had a chance to evaluate that.

Pros: reduced brake dust, good initial bite, good modulation
Cons: potential weaker bite in cold

MICHELIN Tires
Conscious-Ride8136
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 2.0

I just got them on my civic lx and it good and all but I swear they are hella sensitive, any slight movement of the steering wheel and my car is swerving left or right, unlike my old tires which were old but I wouldn't be swerving. Like when I try to change lanes on highways it swerves and lifts a bit on the back. Anyone know why?

Pros: good and all
Cons: hella sensitive, car swerving

Denso AC compressor
terminalzero
  • Engagement:
Rating 1.0

I (attempted to) refurbish my old civic's AC system by installing a new denso compressor, condenser/drier, and the line that had leaked from rockauto. It passed an overnight vacuum test with flying colors, and to get a second set of eyes on my work (and pay back a local mechanic who helped me figure out where the leak was for free) I took it to a shop to get the freon charged. Passed the shop's vacuum test as well and they recharged the system - but the new compresser's clutch would not engage. He found that as soon as the compressor attempted to engage, it would blow the fuse. He said my new compressor's clutch or coil is defective and that diagnostics are pretty much done - replace the compressor and try again.

Cons: clutch not engaging, blows fuse
