Info: 2009 White Honda Civic Si

Alright so this is what I have done:
8k HID headlights
3k HID foggies...yes a very sad list indeed

Planning on getting:
15% all around tint
Blue/Red Brembo calipers
Sound system
JDM retro fit glass housing projectors

i want to do some interior work. maybe some courtesy lights for driver/passenger, and blue bulbs for the license plate lights -anyone have any places they can hook me up with?

basically give me ideas when college stops raping my bank etc.Click for larger image

try 177 hp smart guy

gli was new trim, 6 speed and thats about it

and if you actually read what the guy has he has a t3/t4 turbo- ie the one for 20v big turbo kits you buy for your gli- so id guess with mild boost hes pushing well over 265 at the wheels and would kick the shit out of your stock gli

then why did you choose to copy and paste it

you came out claiming that your gli would kill most civics- no shit- but the guy you were quoting has a car that would shit on yours all day- not to mention you drove a stock gli- monster truck status and everything- I could see if you had gotten a vr and then changed up the exhaust, cams etc to actually get what you paid for in a vr- but no- you drove around with it stock and then try to hate on other peoples cars

are you sure your from connecticut because you sound like a lot of vw dbags from jersey

I don't understand why people care so much about what other people drive or do to their own cars. The only think that really bugs me is super loud exhaust, because it hurts my ears when they drive by hitting the rev limiter between each shift.

turboing a jetta is fucking stupid, get a GTI and turbo that. I have a r32 now and it will DESTROY any other stock VW. It is stock as can be except for tint and a roof rack for when i head to the mountain.

My civic that i had in high school when it was kind of the trend was pushing 360 TO THE WHEELS....did you know there's a difference between HP at the wheel and HP at the fly wheel? The VW GLI put about 145 to the wheel...and it had a nice snappy throttle and torque to let it accelerate faster than a civic. get learned.

and this is such a pissing contest. i admit I did join in but I am exiting now.

try 522 at the wheels

unfortunately shes gone now- sold/parted out for around 28k 2 weeks ago- now I have mk1 16v project on bags and school payments thanks to the sale

god I fucking miss it-



oh and btw- e85 is the easiest cheapest way to get better power without a doubt

hahahahaha- nice try- the owner of said shop is my neighbor- I work pt there and receive at cost for everything- I bought the car for 8k as a salvage with money I had saved up from working at a car wash since I was 14- and proceeded to fix/work on the car to the point you see today- I have a job driving a forklift at 13 an hr for an average of 50 hrs a week all summer- and when I go back to school I work for a high end home theater store/contractor and make commission on all of my sales- Mommy and daddy pay for half of my education- leaving me to cover the rest

they did however buy me my sisters car as a daily driver- a 2000 hyundai accent gl which holds the record on our dyno for lowest whp ever achieved- 73

and let me guess- you bought a gli with your own money?

as stated earlier-nice try - but get bent

get darker tint than 15 if you can, like 5 in the back and 15 (or 5) in the front. buddy has 5 all around and 50 on the windshield and it looks great

Alright i'll give a helpful response because newschoolers likes to post stupid shit to up their pc

All really depends on budget. I would do this in this order

Sound system
Debadge
Yellow rockblocker for the fogs
Tint (20-15% all around)
Jdm front lip
Jdm headlights or retrofit projectors
suspension bits (springs, tires and possibly rims depending on the budget, sways, struts etc)
Intake

I would suggest looking into some good civic forums to see what most people do for their beginning mod stage.

Because they're cheap as shit, and the demand for them is so high because they are cheap daily drivers. thus when the demand is high there are alot of modifications/parts you can add to your Veehikle.

j swaps are the new shit for newer civics 3.3 n/a with headers and a coldair(proper cold air not a warm air that sits on the valve cover) push 250 to the front. pretty nice

can you say front wheel drive handling? this civic can!!

anyway,
Click for larger image

and to end on a constructive note.

i would tint it, that will help the look a lot. don't do too dark, imo 35% front and 15% rear is ideal. it isn't dark enough to attract popo attention, you can still back out of driveways and such, you can see out the side when turning at night, but it still looks great.

it's sick that a girl wants to do stuff to her car, if that's actually what you are....

lol at you guys arguing about shitty cars, both of you should first learn to drive, buy a miata, acquire some skill with it, then forget about shitty civic's/jetta's with giant turbo's people like that use power to take place of skill, while real drivers dont give a shit.

this thread didn't die at all...funny reading comments of people getting more offensive with me and other members. to answer a few select questions : i'm paying off this car monthly so a big fuck you to whoever said my mommy and daddy pays for this. as for money...people do, unless you guys are still in like middle school or something. This project of mine isn't instant i will most likely only fix one thing a year...unless its interior lights or something cheap etc.( whoever said i was doing exterior...well that's just illegal? so no.) so lets keep the hate going it's fairly entertaining.

oh who ever said get a miata? just...no. my friend has one and its the ugliest thing i've seen in my entire life i've only seen old men and old ladys drive it around where i live (minus my guy friend). i rather get a RX-8 or something if i'm going mazda.

thanks again for those who are serious about helping me with ideas (minus the ones that tell me to sell a car that i clearly just brought, totally makes sense)

I bet you all think you are sooooo cool for telling her to go get a new car. (minus the few who gave advice). Get a life & grow up. All she wanted was some advice... you guys are acting like a bunch of middle schoolers- im sure half of you are too.. Anyways hondas make good cars. Who cares if its not an STI or something like that. If the girl wants to do something fun with her car then she should go for it.

i drive an 07 civic and i dont think its a car that should be upgraded at all. they just look gay when people do that. trade it in, im sure you could get some decent cash and then buy a new car

do you have a build thread for that car? on the forums.

and what track was that?

also i agree e85 is the shit, my buddy and i finished building his summit with a 4g swap, hx40, twin 255, 1000's, and dsm link, everything else was pretty budget built, forgot what the tranny had, i forgot what it got tuned at but im pretty sure it was 450 to the wheels. but for cheap you freighttrain everything on the highway. its being rebuilt now, but done right. blew the headgasket at the track haha (stock motor)

and what are those video's supposed to prove? and evo on a dyno and a fly by, is that supposed to be impressive? ive seen alot more impressive stuff come from a 2000 dollar track car and a good driver.

woah no need to get all braggy.. just sayin, those video's of a fly by and a dyno run dont prove anything... though i am surprised that having karting experience, you would diss miata's. and who the hell spells karting with a c?
