So never owned a stock vehicle in my life and dont plan on it with this one. I get a feeling that probably goes the same for most here...my question is whats on your wishlist? what mod's are you going to do first?
For me it will be simple things to start
im sure i will add those as well...being new to Honda's i will have to do my research though. Headers might not work for me though as i think it will fail smog test here in CA with headers on, and the exhaust will take some time because i really dont want that "ricer" sound......im looking more subtle a deep than that loud pingy noise most go with.
1. Weathertech floor mats (I will NEVER risk not using these again!)
2. Tint
3. Alarm
4. HID
5. exhaust (after due research)
6. intake possibly, probably before #5...
7. rain guards
I'm sure I'll think of many more... hahaha:Banane08:
Super charger Hoping to get 10PSI
H.I.D
Mud guard
Dampers (buddy club) or what ever recommended
Slicks
Nav
Sunroof Visor
Half Mask
Upgrade Brakes
This is gonna be Great for AutoX
Minimum =
Rims n tires (winters on stock wheels probably instead of steelies)
Tint
Short Throw
CAI
Exhaust (not sure how extensive)
Suspension + Sway Bars
Maybe =
ground effects
turbo
stereo (depending on stock)
New summer tires.
New winter tires on steel rims.
Front and rear camber kit to dial more aggressive alignment.
RSB.
Hotchkis Endlinks.
Koni dampers.
Window rain guards.
Power adders ONLY after a full tuning solution is released, ie. Hondata.
Of course, after I do research, and aftermarket companies actually producing the parts.
The current gen comes with A/S std. The optional summer tires aren't worth it, and can get a better performing tire for the price that Honda charges for them. That is assuming they keep the same tires etc.
bolt on items typically dont void your warranty unless the malfunction or damage was a direct effect of whatever you changed out (and im not talking about Turbo's/SC) but i think we have some time before those options are available.
for the 2012 civic i have to lower it. nothing is better then a dumped car. From the official production model pictures that was posted here somewhere the 2012 civic looks sick but if it didn't look 4x4 ready i would instantly fall in love with it.
yeah i think it was jason that did a quick PS of a black one lowered a little.....it definitely sits too high, but i want to find my wheels before i lower it at all.
Anxiously waiting the release to make my choice between 8th gen or 9th gen. But whatever I get heres my list:
1. Tint windows
2. HID
3. Fog lights
4. And if the 9th gen sits as high as pictures make it seem, definitely suspension
if the lip kit is available for it, I'll go for that first, then throw on my wheels I have ready for it (all depends if the final specs of the Si meet my expectations)
Excellent summer tires. Excellent winter tires on steel rims. Front and rear camber kit, to dial a more aggressive alignement. RSB. Hotchkis endlinks (if produced). KONI dampers and Hypercoil springs. Of course I will need to calculate motion ratios and wheel rates before I determine a spring rate. Maintaining proper suspension geometry will also be a factor in my calculation. I don't dump my rides, my suspension upgrades are, well...actually upgrades.
might do this if I can find a nice quality strip. Unless they make a easier mod to just strap on. looks decent, I'd try to make mine just a straight strip though, no bends for me.
