Default New to Honda-- 2002 SI

Well I've never been much of a honda fan. Probably due to the crazy amount of ricers we have local that just smears the whole name.

I've turned to the dark side though, mainly because I fell in love with the EP3's looks and K20 engine. Not the fastest by any means but fun to drive none the less. 2002 and up Civic si's are my #1.

Right now I don't have much of a pic but here's what I got (Shot with the Ipad)



Guy I bought it off of had this also, believe me if I had a choice and could buy either you wouldn't be reading this haha.

Man what's up with your suspension? The front end is slammed and the rear looks like it's higher than the stock springs.

Looks good.

Since you're new I'll give you a little rundown on things to check since you have an 02. These are things I have fixed.

-How many miles are on it? Has the exhuast cam been replaced due to the galling problem? If it hasn't and you are around or above 120k it will be something to watch out for.

-You should pull the door panels and regrease the window tracks. Over time it dissipates and causes extra friction. That's when your window cables snap.

-Wipe down and regrease the moon roof tracks too. Those get funky after a while.

Got anymore pics? How does the interior look?

+1. Something seems really off with the suspension.

Welcome aboard!

Could be RSX springs. I briefly used RSX Eibach Pro Kit springs, while they rode nice...monster truck rear.

Dang haven't been logged on since I posted that pic. Srry to not answer everyone's posts (Hitting the bed soon). The suspension had skunks installed on front and hadn't yet been installed on the rear.
