I'll be doing some charge pipe change up that's for sure. Wheels. Coilovers. Lip kit (non oem)
We see charge pipes being a pretty common mod with these cars, so this is what we like to hear.I'll be doing some charge pipe change up that's for sure. Wheels. Coilovers. Lip kit (non oem)
I've been reading that some in the tuning community think that the 1.5T will not be the best platform for mods... what do you guys think?We see charge pipes being a pretty common mod with these cars, so this is what we like to hear.
Maybe you can try to get them to throw the tint in for free, most times they'll do it. We always did it if the customer was really serious, they won't want to miss out on a deal for a $500 tint job.If i decide to finance to own (instead of lease) only a couple things for my future *** coupe...
1. Window tint
2. Bulbs in the low/high beams and fog lights that match the LED accents (suggestions?)
3. Wing spoiler if honda doesn't offer one as an accessory
4. Almost have always gotten a better sport air filter for my cars, reusable and breaths/protects better
I'm wondering if a whiter higher output halogen would be enough to make them match the LEDs... if not HID/Xenon is my next guess, but even those have different colors and hues... hoping a few people here will do this and suggest brand/output to use to make them match.Maybe you can try to get them to throw the tint in for free, most times they'll do it.

They have aftermarket LED kits like the HID kits but I'm not sure how the output would be behind the halogen projector (compared to the HID bulb), but I do plan to do the same.
A spoiler is needed by me as well. The rear end needs to be broken up a bit since it's so big so a bigger spoiler would be nice.
Nice. The last thing you want is anything ruining your turbine
I'll most likely be putting a 5000k Hid Kit only mine as well as yellow foglight bulbs, or yellow overlays (depending on the exterior color)I'm wondering if a whiter higher output halogen would be enough to make them match the LEDs... if not HID/Xenon is my next guess, but even those have different colors and hues... hoping a few people here will do this and suggest brand/output to use to make them match.
I'd love if they'd do tint for free, or the spoiler (if they offer one). I'll definitely make sure to ask when it comes time for me to get the car. They should know by now i'm serious since i've gotten like 4 cars from them already.
couldn't you get the learning logic out with a re-flash or tune?Going to drive it "stock" for at least a year and let the tuners figure out the platform. If KW offers a V2 or V3 kit for our cars, might pick that up. But it's going to depend on how Honda tunes the Si dampers out of the box. Historically they've been slightly underdamped for my tastes.
I've learned that any performance mods on a self-learning ECU with direct injection can be a recipe for disaster. On the Mazda, any breathing mod required a higher pressure fuel pump (HPFP) to ensure the ECU didn't lean out and cause knock/detonation.
I would strongly caution anyone not to slap on breathing mods without first understanding the mechanics of forced induction. More here:

no-I wouldn't be doing this myself NO SHOT! I mean for the tuners who do understand ECU logic...I would imagine that they have a fairly strong grasp of ECU logic if they're making it their business?Providing you understood the ECU logic, yes. But this isn't just simply reflashing an NA ECU. Direct Injection runs upwards of 2000 PSI on fuel alone. Tweaking ANYTHING that impacts fuel delivery - including breathing mods - is a risky move. Unless you know exactly what to monitor and how.
Definitely a JBL MS-8, amps and new speakers + sub. Tint. Maybe springs or coilovers once I see pics of some lowered Civics to see if they look better that way. Probably splashguards, ambient lighting kit, and the console illumination kit.I know it's early to ask but what mods do all of you have in mind doing once you have your brand new Civic???
