I recently bought a 2002 civic si.
Im having fun with it. nothing serious.
So far only mods are: synthetic oil/aem cold air intake.

Im hoping to keep this car simple:
AEM CAI
DC sports header (have it on order)
exhaust (investigating as we speak)
Jackson supercharger kit

I work at honda.
my car is a honda certified car as well.

any suggestions on exhaust?
also im looking at a set of motegi 15" trak lite wheels.
keep the same tires? low profile? current tires are excellent.
which lowering spring eibach?
$150 a wheel a good price?

 

I have tanabe SMR and it's a good exhaust but that thing is quiet as hell. If that's something you're looking for go for it. If you're gonna go trubo, go for Greddy Evo TT, it's made specifically for turbo charged applications.

I heard motegi's are trash but I dont have personal experience with them so I dunno for sure. I got my 17" 5Zigen FN01R-C with toyo proxes 4 for $1150. For lowering springs, I would recommend Teins. But if don't mind spending a little bit more money, go with Teins basics or even SS dampers. $150 is not a bad price if you are getting some decent ones.

 

I saw the "Trak Lite" wheels at IAS 2 years ago. I don't have any experience with them, but they did get my attention for some light weight wheels. I'd say go for it!

light weight 15" wheels need wider tires.

i love my 225/50-15 sizing.

 

i have greddy evo 2 exhaust and love the look of it and it is stock sounding at idle and a deep rumble when u get on it. as far as motegi rims,..i know pep boys carries motegi and if the tires are the original michellins mxv4s or whatever they are............u will learn very soon it is the worst tire ever......as my experience goes. they are such a hard compound that they break loose on the dry pavement,......dont even try driving in the snow. michellin pilot sports are the way to go.

 

If you want some light weight 15 inch rims I wouldn't recomen Motegi. The rotas and buddy club are nice rims. They are cheap and yet light weight and well made. If you want... I can hook u up with a shop that can get you 15" rotas and buddy club for around 440-460 shipped for a set or rims.
