Hey HT!
I just purchased a 07 FG2 silver, 65k

I have been in and out of the honda game over the years past rides:
95 civic ex H22 swap
93 civic si hatch
97 accord ex
94 300zx TT
05 300c hemi

So what mods are the must do for my new si?
tein and skunk2 always used to be the names to go with... im a big JDM and CF *****, so help me out!!!
do the cars still use vtec controllers?

any suggestions or thoughts welcome...

 

Depends on what you want. Do you want to be a sleeper and get the performance parts first or looks ?

Flashpro is what your looking for to control VTEC engagement and tuning

 

I am going for a clean look. simple bolt ons i think. bang for buck.

its going to be my dialy and winter driver, i want it to handle, and more power is always good.

 

I always prefer suspension first. In your case you might want to go for some mild springs or a coilover setup so you're not too low for winter

^^^ thats what i plan to put on my si soon it might be worth looking at for u low in summer and raise in winter maby

 

It's your car to modify, not ours.

 

k5 is right make ur car for ur self and u will be happy with it

 

stay away from tein coils, for 8th civic, unless you getting the flagship model, the valving for the struts is no where close to even the cheap knock offs.

But to me the first is either full suspension, with camber kits OR

I/h/E w/ flashpro makes it a completely different car, the stock tune on the car is such a let down, if u have had a b-series, you said you had a h22, but not really the same.

But the vtec point is way to high with a high redline, where if you don't shift exactly at the sweet spot, you fall out of vtec when you shift into the next consecutive gear

 

Eibach pro kit big difference, or if you don't mind going lower, Eibach sportline very nice drop! and I would get the CT short shifter.

 

grab urself an intake, the SRI are pretty cheap and it gives you alittle more giddy up

 

kn drop in... i bought it the same day i bought my car... and i love it

 

CAI will get you the most bang for the buck as far as starter mods go. I went with the Injen as it's a true cold air intake grabbing it's air from down in the fenderwell, not the engine compartment. Be warned, however, it's a b*tch of an install but there are plenty of good how-to's on the various forums that will walk you through it.

 

Well personally i'm doing a few small mods first like a nice shift **** and hid headlights, then i'm saving for suspension, intake, flashpro etc.

 

I think you should get hawt Pink wheels! That would set is apart from the others...


Do whatever you want
