Were an accessory that was added by the dealer at extra cost. An the paperboard spare cover is pretty much standard with every Honda/Toyota/Mazda I have ever owned.

Replying to: si83 (Nov 25, 2005 12:48 pm) "should i wait for the 2007 rsx type s?"   Don't hold your breath for that one!   I would get the Civic, unless you want leather seats. But if you want the tautest handling, you should probably go for the RSX-S. The new SI supposedly has a RIPPING stereo.   The RSX is a noisy little beast. I wonder if the new Civic is quieter.
#3274 of 3321 2002 Si, 40,000 mile report by devoz Nov 29, 2005 (6:26 pm)
For you Si owners out there-   Front pads need replacing, and 30K of my miles are highway, little suprising.   Rear pads need replacement, still have ~20% pad, but the rotors are deeply grooved for who knows what reason, Honda says they have to be replaced. This is completely suprising, doesn't seem right.   They want 229 for front brake service (just pads and turning the rotors), and 399 for rear, (toss in two rotors).   Front end makes a vibration, been making it since about 20K, but I was too lazy to bring in. Dealer says its the water pump. Wow, that didn't last long. Didn't have this serviced yet.   Speakers vibrate loudly (rear) with any song that has any bass in it, especially when the weather is cold and dry. Plan on living with this minor irritation.   Something goes "clunk" in the front end when you go over bumps that cause the wheels to bounce rapidly.   Engine has a harmonic at just over 2500 on the tach, won't bother talking to a dealer about it.   Clutch squeeking loudly since about 20K, Dealer took it apart and "lubed" it to the cost of $47 bucks (1/2 hour labor).   Nothing serious, but I didn't expect to lose the pads before 60K, certainly don't think the rotors should be shot when the pad is still intact and only at 40K miles to boot.   Decent mileage. (28ish).   -Z Replies to this message: nippononly (Nov 30, 2005 7:50 am) devoz (Dec 17, 2005 6:31 pm) blueiedgod (Dec 22, 2005 10:01 am)

Replying to: funtai (Nov 24, 2005 9:18 pm) Floormats were standard with the Si in 2002.   The cover on the spare is a cheap piece o junk, but it doesn't really matter does it?   -Z

Replying to: devoz (Nov 29, 2005 6:26 pm) I am curious, how does a failing water pump cause a "front end vibration"? Sounds fishy to me. And you're right, that's way too early for a water pump to fail.   "Clunk" and rapid wheel bouncing sounds like a bad shock absorber?   If you have a lot of "fun" in the car, I can believe new front pads at 40K, but the rear rotor thing is also surprising to me. Maybe a second opinion at a different dealer or service place? Replies to this message: devoz (Dec 17, 2005 6:31 pm) blueiedgod (Dec 22, 2005 10:01 am)
#3277 of 3321 Dumping mine... by gee35coupe Nov 30, 2005 (12:00 pm)
2003 Civic Si has developed the "death creak". Sounds like a coffin when you turn from side to side. Only owe $6000 on it so I'm gonna sell it to Carmax and just drive our Accord.   Just turned 40K too. I'm disappointed. Replies to this message: invisible143 (Dec 06, 2005 4:57 pm)

Let us know what you get from Carmax for it...

Replying to: gee35coupe (Nov 30, 2005 12:00 pm) hey, i have the same creaking noise in my front end of my 2004 civic si and i am bringing it in for the 3rd time this week for them to attempt to fix it, the replaced a strut and the rack n pinion, what else is goin on here?
#3280 of 3321 In the "other" forum... by gee35coupe Dec 06, 2005 (5:56 pm)
They say it's the power steering causing the creak. I didn't want to wait and find out if Honda would repair mine since it was lowered. So before it became a real problem, I took it today and had the stock parts put back on. Carmax gave me $11k for it. Considering I had it for 2 years and 40k I was pleased. Not to mention it had a couple of dimples in the hood caused by a slight mishap that i got a check for $500 for. Not bad for an unloved car that cost $15.4 when I bought it in the beginning of Oct. 2003. Came home with a check for $4.5k.   Anybody want a Progress rear bar and a set of Eibachs for an SI?

Traded in last March for $12,500. Not bad, IMHO. 2 years of service for $2000, comes out to about $86/month. You can;t even find a lease these days for under $200 with no money down.
