Icon7 Hey, new to the forums

I just bought a 2007 Honda Civic Si today. Coming from a Mustang GT, there is a lot I have to learn about this car. I was enticed to buy it due to it's quick pick-up and notorious reliability.

I guess I just had a few questions for you guys...

Without a doubt, I am going to keep this car 100% unmodified engine-wise. However, I am looking for some panels around the car (skirts). I really like how the car looks with this full body kit around it. Where can I find this type of kit the cheapest, and does anywhere pre-paint it to match factory? The kit is as shown here:

Also, noticed off the bat that this car might not be getting the best gas mileage (1/4 of a tank gone after only 80 highway miles wow!). Would some lucas oil stabilizer help this situation? Only 47k miles on the car, but I was considering the idea.

Just wondering if you guys might be familiar with these things. Thanks guys in advance!!

Welcome to the Land of the Si!

As far as gas mileage goes you'll be able to control that with how you and your foot treat the gas pedal. Run her into ivtech a lot and you won't get mileage. Also, are you running Premium gas like the manual says? Mine jumped from 26mpg to 30mpg just with that change.

The best thing you can do is search these forums. There's TONS of information on almost every topic to do with your car, you just have to spend the time to find it.

Again... welcome!
