Fits well in 2007 Civic Si. The starter is louder than normal. The noise is similar to the rotation of a piece of dry metal or an old car. A starter terminal is next to the longer screw, but I don't think that's a big problem. On this terminal + only when scrolling. Anyone who has changed the starter on an old Chevy knows how close to the ground the + wire is. I had to cut the knock sensor tie wrap to avoid stressing the wires. Be careful with KS, it breaks easily. I like the sound of the factory starter better, but the rebuild was a pain and I had no luck with the rework. That's why I decided to try this kind of starter. It is made in China. like everything. Seems well done. Let's see how long this lasts.
