Hi everyone,
I've been away from the site for a little while now but thought I'd give you all an update on our new car. Here's a link to our facebook page and twitter so you can follow our progress.

Yup that's our car. And remember we are all amateurs, none of whom are mechanics. So this goes to show you what just anyone with some knowledge can accomplish with hard work.
You should see it on 8th gen shortly.
Don't forget to like us on Facebook to get updates.
Umm. I take myself to be a good driver but until you sit beside a real race car driver while flying around the track you don't know the real meaning of an amazing driver.

My sedan is fine and I'm in Ontario, got my car right from the plant as I work there. Most people that I work with who have Si's have oil consumption issues.
If I could do it again I'd probably have an STi right now. I would NEVER buy another VW though, had a couple and they were complete garbage after the warranty was up. All the electronics went for a ****.
Rear bumper won't fit either nor can you make the rear tail lights fit. You'd need to swap out the rear tail light housings, trunk, bumper and lights to make everything work. It can be done but in my opinion your better off just buying a 13.
You can however put the 13 spoiler on a 12 and it...
Yes the factory in Indana makes the civic 4dr and the ILX. Honda of Canada makes all the 2dr civics, 4dr civics lx/dx/ex/ex-l/touring and Si, CRV, MDX, and ZDX.
