I'd rock the 2006-2008 Si over a Focus

 

They are nice but I actually bought my 05' ST (non sap) over a 07' civic Si coupe.

I dunno... I just liked the ST alot more... Just traded the ST on a Mustang GT though so I've left the fwd scene for rwd! =)

 

Congrats on the car though! Any plans going thru your head yet?

 

I like the tail lights, but I'm not a fan of that design.

What happened to going SVT?

 

1st Mod: Remove pinstriping. 2nd: Cold air intake. My wife actually suggested the cold air intake lol And she wants darker window tint! haha I miss my ST for sure, it had more grunt from the 2.3, but I am slowly getting addicted to Vtec...yo lol

 

but I am slowly getting addicted to Vtec...yo lol

It is addicting! lol Once I got my tC it didn't take long to fall in love with the VVT-i motor. When I was buying I was torn between the tC and Civic SI.

Car looks good dude! Don't mind the negative peeps. Haters gonna hate!

Oh. And check out Trubendz for exhaust. Or maybe Magnaflow.

 

Sorry but you downgraded.

 

Why? lol

Could not find one of decent miles. Decided that if I were to shell out decent money it might as well be for a car that my wife and I both love. I first test drove one about a year ago, and fell in love, and now I have my dream car, yeah its no ferrari, or have SVT badges, but I love the style and the way it handles. [woot]

 

upgrade ftw! vtec rocks

 

BOOOO!

I kid, the SI isn't bad. A buddy of mine has one and it's got decent enough power in there. Maybe it'll hold it's value until you can upgrade to a 2012 Focus ST and leave the dark side behind.[hihi]

 

Yeah I don't get it. The car has no torque and needs 50 more horsepower to be basically equally as fast.

 

Its a great car that my wife and I both love to drive. She didnt like the SVT (which I still dont know why) lol I will try not to get a huge fart can, but when it comes to exhaust mods thats all im seeing

Dang! I like it, but any kind of power gains? I saw a vid on youtube of a guy who put on an exhaust system on his Si, and they dyno'd it before and after, and he got negative power gains. lol Its probably just more for show than anything.

 

Great. Another civic. Just promise you won't make it ricey.

 

Negative, it will be cleanly done. I need to remove a few things first lol Previous owner has some stupid dash cover, and pinstripe. Youre from cincy too huh?

 

Very nice man congrats. Get that thing some bolt ons! Or [][][][] it, go turbo. I think u should've made a trip to pick up that beautiful white ms3 for sale on here though by lyonsroar. That thing is a beast.

 

I'm pretty sure the only time I would drive a Civic would be if it had two doors and a K20, so congrats on the new ride. I'm not a big fan of the "interior work" from the previous owner, but I've never been into interior painting. Bolt something onto the car quick so you can have an actual 200 hp, and not just 197

As for the negative horsepower gains, considering all the cheap after-market stuff that exists for Hondas, I'm not surprised. The Magnaflow exhaust unfortunately looks fart can-like. The Borla looks better, but it all depends on how you feel about dual tips.

Haters gonna hate.

 

Intake, Header, Kpro or flashpro and it will be a beast!!!!

Congrats man I want an 07 si sedan.

 

I wouldn't call it a downgrade really, but I certainly wouldn't call it an upgrade. I think the foci has way more style going for it, plus you had an ST. 2.3 All day every day.

My opinion only! Looks good though!

 

its an upgrade for sure!

it can make power easily!

 

What kind of stuff can I do without voiding the warranty? lol I spent alot of money on that warranty :/

 

Prolly just an intake and suspension and wheels. LOL

 

First thing, if you haven't already is to debadge that dealer emblem on the back and ditch the license plate frame billboards. Nice and bright, that vtec will put you in the danger zone of getting a ticket a lot more since it temps you all the time to be up there in the revs.

 

What I have done so far: Removed the dealer sticker, removed the hideous dash cover (if you didnt notice it in the pics,) and ordered a JDM shift knob and boot w/ red stitching. I dont like the stock shifter..too penisey lol

 

cant go wrong with a k20.

 

Sounds like you got a good start going. My guess is you could do intake, exhaust, and wheels without voiding the warranty. I'm sure audio as well. From my knowledge, suspension usually voids the warranty unless Honda makes a suspension for it.

 

It depends on your warranty. Is it bumper-to-bumper, or just powertrain? My car had 30 days free replacement, 90 days bumper-to-bumper, and three years powertrain.

Part of what I love about those Si's is that it doesn't take much more to make it a really sick car. I would probably drop it, some lightweight wheels, bolt-ons, a tune (which you can always undo in the case of anything warranty-related), and stereo. That exterior really doesn't need anything.

 

Its a 4 year unlimited mile powertrain warranty. Could not afford the bumper to bumper

 

I want to do an intake, headers, exhaust. (IHE) No plans for the suspension as of yet, it sits pretty good

 

LOL! Super un-related post but hilarious! For those who hate on Vtec:
