Re: 2013 Civic SI turbo kits?
I have to agree with this guy I just bought a 2013 si sedan first in arizona so proud had it custom made to fit me but stock it is amazing pree ordered it 5 months ago worried about what it was going to look like but when it got here my thoughts changed quick the drive the handling the sound the interior huge changes from the 2012 I,v put omost three thousand miles on it and when I stop driving it I don't want to get out so to who ever was saying the changes were small there not you must have just looked at it for a quick second should have taken it for a test drive
If so, your reading comprehension is pretty bad. I said there were a few major changes, not that the changes were small.
That being said, I sat inside the EX model and inspected the interior and exterior for the apparent differences since I noticed it looked different when I walked near it. Then I researched online what changes were made. Did my homework and I know what I am talking about. I did not take it for a test drive for a few reasons: They did not have a '13 Si (the only trim level possibly comparable to my '12 Si), the '13 EX I looked at was inside the showroom, and I did not care enough to test drive anyway. The vast majority of the changes are purely aesthetic and I was able to see them, no test drive needed in order to notice. The 2013 Si shouldn't really handle, drive, or sound better than the 2012, so I am unsure you have even driven a '12 Si. The handling upgrades were made on the lower trim levels.

Sounds like you are talking about my post.

Yeah, read about this after the fact. Oh well, nothing that springs and a bigger rear sway bar won't fix, planned anyway.

Re: 2013 Civic SI turbo kits?
Wow.. 2012 and 2013 is the same chassis. The main thing is that the engine is the same. Maybe there are minor adjustments for the I/C piping due to the front bumper change, but my guess is any changes would be minor if any are needed at all.
But, if you can't figure that much out then we can't help you. Learn about your car before you even think about turboing.........
