    2014 coupe rear spoiler

    I'm considering getting a 14' Si wing on my 12' Si Coupe, but I'm also on a tight budget. I feel the rear of the 9th gen coupe is rather incomplete looking without the wing. I have the orange sunburst pearl paint on mine, which makes it hard to find a wing from Honda that is already paint...

    Getting a new rear sway bar. (Eibach/Progress) Where to purchase?

    Alright ladies and gents, the sway bar is in!! I should've taken pictures while I was doing it but I was too busy fighting the old end links.. lol Anyways, to talk about the difference in feel of the car. Its too early to say, but the single test drive I took it on it seemed much more planted...

    Getting a new rear sway bar. (Eibach/Progress) Where to purchase?

    To clear up any confusion, I knew that the 22mm sway bar was not adjustable. I figured that I wouldn't be going under my car to adjust anything since I'm not tracking the car or anything like that. Just looking for more stiffness in the rear to lessen body roll and improve drivability and fun...

    Getting a new rear sway bar. (Eibach/Progress) Where to purchase?

    This group is something else man, hahaha. I got the 22mm because I think it'll be more daily drive-able, and mostly because it was cheaper. Also, I was told by a buddy who got his 24mm kit that he didn't even use the end links that came in the kit. He says that they can back off on their own...

    Getting a new rear sway bar. (Eibach/Progress) Where to purchase?

    Haha, glad to see all is calm.. Anyways, so pumped to see what difference the sway bar makes! I decided to go with the Progress 22mm sway bar with reinforcement brackets. Also ordered Moog sway bar end links, which are way thicker and beefier than OEM. Should have all my parts in by Friday. I'll...

    Getting a new rear sway bar. (Eibach/Progress) Where to purchase?

    @ElDiabloBlanco Havent done any other suspension work other than replacing rear shocks with new KYB shocks. I'm guessing your going to tell me I need coilovers to feel the difference with a new sway bar? From what I've seen on the forums it looks like most people can feel a significant...

    Getting a new rear sway bar. (Eibach/Progress) Where to purchase?

    Hey guys, I am ready to pull the trigger on a thicker sway bar for the rear. I would be OK with either the Eibach or Progress sway bars. However, I am more interested int the Progress sway bar since it has much more adjustability options than the Eibach, although its about $100 more. Where is...

    Aftermarket audio system, issues with distortion at higher volume

    Actually had more time yesterday to finish the job. Wired up all speakers properly and professionally with 16 AWG wire. Sounds beastly now! So for anyone else out there who has a 2012 civic si and upgrades their audio system I highly recommend upgrading the speaker wire as well if your running...

    Aftermarket audio system, issues with distortion at higher volume

    Had some time today to get to work on the car, so I did. I ran all new wires for the rear speakers, and wow what a difference. It sounds fantastic in the rear now, just need to rectify the issue in the front. When I have time I will do it next week.

    Aftermarket audio system, issues with distortion at higher volume

    If I run thicker gauge wire to all speakers I might as well strip the car to a shell and rip out the whole interior and take the fenders and doors off to run wire through the factory looms. Like I said, nightmare. Not sure what else to think here though. Someone else thats replaced their factory...

    Aftermarket audio system, issues with distortion at higher volume

    They did run RCA with power which causes alternator whine, but it should not cause distortion. In addition I tested the speaker directly from the amp with a short wire to see if that was the issue and got no distortion. The amp is fine, because I tested another 4 channel amp and got the same...

    Aftermarket audio system, issues with distortion at higher volume

    Recently took my car to a shop and had an aftermarket system installed. I am disappointed with the way it sounds to say the least. I have a U.S. Acoustics Barbara Ann 400 watt amp, and Morel Maximo 6 component speakers up front. Even with the amp on the lowest gain I get distortion when...

    Cold Air Intake, worth?

    Wow, those ebay beam patterns are trash.. lol Good to know as I was interested in these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-12-15-Civic-Coupe-Sedan-FB-FG-Black-TRON-TUBE-DRL-Projector-Headlight-Lamp/171366622824?hash=item27e63f2668:g:iOMAAOSwY~1aMvd- @mySIck Have you had any issues with other people...

    Cold Air Intake, worth?

    I don't plan on going boosted as that will cost thousands. Will definitely look into the 3" exhaust as well, but as with the tune these things will come in time. As for the HID, would it be feasible to install the HID's in the factory housing, or buy a set of ebay housings that have projectors?

    Cold Air Intake, worth?

    Gotcha, that makes more sense than sending in the ECU. Will save up for this and get it done hopefully this spring! Are there any mods that you guys recommend that you've thought are worth while? I thought about doing an HID upgrade as well, but stock lights aren't terrible.

    Cold Air Intake, worth?

    Thanks for the input guys. Not looking to spend over $1000 right now to mod the car so I guess most of those mods will not be happening. I still do want to get my ECU tuned via flashpro though. I'm going to look into the e-tunez package as you mentioned. Seems like a good deal for the price...

    Cold Air Intake, worth?

    Was looking for upgrades on my new to me 2012 civic si and found this CAI. View: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7PUF2E/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1 Seems like a good deal as most CAI's are $300+. Not sure why the chrome version is so much cheaper than the charcoal...

    Woofer Repair and Suggestions...?

    Yeah its pretty much rattle city back there now, even without aftermarket equipment. I've got some felt tape and some cheap walmart brand foam weather insulation I could use for that also.
