anybody know when some aftermarket parts for the 2012 civic will be released?

 

Most likely not for a bit...u try 9thcivic forum yet? HT's 06+ civic forum is super lacking and im sure 12+ is like non existant

 

I haven't found anything, I took a chance on the rear sway bar after talking to the folks at Pro civic.

The bar from an 06 to 11 will work on the rear, if you want to stiffen up your turns this bar will work.

It wasn't stiff enough for me so I put on a thicker progress bar, but to use the progress bar you need to use shorter end links and move the pipe so it doesn't hit.

I'm waiting for someone to make a front bar, the front end dips too much for my liking.

 

You actually bought a new 2012 SI. I drove one and was not impressed at all. Good luck with that.

 

faster than a 8th gen !

 

I'm not sure about that... and if it his it's not by much!

 

170 torque says it all

 

swap the bottom end of the block in your 8th gen to the K24 and have the best of both worlds. At least you'll be able to mod the motor then!

 

later on when there are tons of the new models around I do think people will feel different towards them.

Nobody liked the 63 corvette coupe when it first came out, this is no corvette but a new model that needs time.

 

New products are being designed and in production as we speak. It usually takes 6 month to a year before the latest model mods come out.

 

quite true... HP is for bragging rights, torque gets you down the road...more torque = faster times...

 

FYI...
We are in development now on a coil-over system and rear sway bar for 2012 Civic. We have found that our 2006-2011 components are not a direct-fit on the 2012 Civic, via an Americal Honda measuring session we attended.

Cool story bro.

 

I added a 06 to 11 rear sway to my car, the eibach bar will work as is, the progress bar which is thicker needs to be shimmed so it stays centered, and the over the axel pipe needs to have a slight dent in it to clear.

I like the progress bar better but the car still has some dip in the front end at speeds over 40, I need a bar for the front, that is thicker than the 15mm bar that is on it.

I think honda gave the wrong people ride quality they should have made the front bar heavier for the Si.

 

Saw the front bar on my friends 12 si and lmfao, super small.

 

Yeah a 15mm open end wrench fits the bar perfectly the rear bar is about the same.

Did you get a look at the 1 foot long end links? now that is a ridiculous item also.

A great idea maybe, but way under sized in my opinion.

 

Yea I noticed they went bimmer style w/ the front end links, might be too weak for a real bar. Were gonna try to get a rbc intake mani on my friends car at some point here.

 

not yet but you can probably get some parts designed for the previous gen civic and mod them to fit the 2012, still gona be a while for aftermarket parts though since it's a whole new body style and new engines.

 

I have the ex and the only thing i could do is the exhaust, so a got a custom one. Thinking about making my own cai when i have the time

 

Here is what I have found out so far of what manufactures have what. I called about everyone looking for parts for my car and helped R&D some.

Road Magnet has springs in stock and ready to ship.
Full-Race has cat back exhaust ready to ship. Turbo kit in another month I believe (I am testing it now to make sure it is all good.)
SSBC has a big brake kit in stock ready to ship that fit inside the factory wheels and tires on the Si anyway.
Hardware909 has a dip stick and billet oil cap for the car.
Advan Carbon has a carbon hood in stock ready to ship

If I can think of anything else, I will let you know.

 

find anything for CAI or SRi?

 

We do not recommend the use of the 2006-2011 Civic bar on the 2012 model.

We are looking for a vehicle within a 15 mile radius of Anaheim, CA as a development car. If anyone is interested please contact us via PM or call (714) 630-9017.

 

I had to remove the progress bar I had hitting and drifting sideways issues with it.

I'm still experimenting with the progress and eibach bars, right now I have the eibach bar on with hotchkis end links.

I'm having good results but I miss the stiffness of the progress bar, if I can shim the bar and keep it centered I will try using it again.

At this moment I'm working on a winter car and can't devote much time to the civic.

 

Injen is in development with the short ram and cold air.
