What kit you going to get? Trust me once you get used to it you'll want a power adder mod and then maybe a tune. You will not regret getting flashpro. That's why I suggested you get used to your ride 1st and then once you do a tune, it's fun all over again. Then it will be fun every time you will get a new mod. Flashpro will get all the performance you can get from the part you install plus it will run the way it's supposed to. have a good day puke.
If you see some nice gauge pods please don't be shy in letting me know. Thanks Dennis
No kits. Waiting on Honda hpf/hpd to release sport suspension kit for '14 civic. Or get koni inserts. Just found out a little while ago I will be keeping the 18" rims that come with the '14 I purchased. The tpms sensors between the '13 and '14 are incompatible and my sales guy said service manager said I would have to deal with an always on tpms light which I don't wanna deal with. Ugh. I am losing my michelin pilot sport 3 a/s, getting crappy conti's in return and more weight and costlier tires in long run. Anyways, gonna break in the car first. Minimum 1000 miles. Probably 2500 before I drop the $800 for a flashpro. Maybe I might just like it all the way. Loved the way the '13 drove aside from weak suspension. Could've used a bit more low end but I am not about performance. I'd take a better handling car any day over more performance.
Thanks Dennis for the like by the way. I appreciate you keeping me posted... anything you want me keep an eye out for you?
You will definitely like the car as is because they are a sweet ride to begin with. You'll get used to it and when the time comes and you do get flashpro you'll be like oh ya new car feeling again. Trust me you'll love the power gains and won't want to give them back... he he plus a few other nice things that come along with the flahpro and just to say I'm a virgin as well with flashpro so take my word on it on how much you'll love the car that much more when you experience this new beast. Have you ever looked at tein suspension they have some nice stuff in different price ranges... especially when it comes to combining their suspension with the edfc. If you don't know what that is I won't tell you... I'll let you find out and be surprised on your own because it's something worth looking at. Why are you losing the pilot tires? To be honest they impressed me more than I thought they would especially in the corners but they are noisy and off the line they lack the hooking we want on the road when it counts... other than that they are more than fine to use until dead and time to change. I'll be excited when that day comes as well even though I haven't completely setteled on what rubber I'd like next.
No way in the world I am getting teins. Honda sports suspension and/or konis inserts. Don't think I need to drop it. The wheel well looks fine now that I have 18's. If the sports suspension drops it an inch I sure do hope it is more than 10% stiffer springs. Proabaly a 25% stiffer spring would be good.
I guess you don't like teins huh he he Is that Honda suspension adjustable? This is awesome because you can adjust them and that's why I mentioned the tein with edfc because you can make adjustments from the interior of your car and I find that sweet. Nice in car eye candy and practical because you don't physically have to get out and adjust them. How's your day treating you anyway?
I wish I was there to see your face and that biG smile wrapping around your head.. he he Congrats by the way Puke! With that model Honda retuned the exhaust and gave the car a few more ponies, but the sound will definitely settle as the car is broken in. I remember going through that and was very happy with the exhaust note after being broken in. I was even more surprised with the tuning process how it changed the exhaust note and I like it even more now. It will make it that much harder to change when the time comes but am definitely enjoying it more now. I remember my 1st drive like you and I remember it took me quite awhile to even put music on because the engine and exhaust tones were all the music I wanted to hear.. he he Enjoy the drive my friend because you only get the 1st day once. I'm anxious to see how fast you burn threw your 1st tank...lol
thanks for the answer Web. How's your day? what's new with you Web?
Lol. I actually wasn't all that anxious when I went to pick it up. I signed off on it Friday. Had to wait for rim swap and side molding. Ended up keeping 18" rims because they said tpms issues. I actually didn't get that smile on my face until about 25 miles and I made a pass dropping to 5th from 6th. If you do t know, I haven't had my CBP '13 civic si since august 19th because of a wreck. So I've been driving an f-150 and a '13 civic lx as loaner. So yeah o did get that big grin finaaaaaaally. Even though our si's aren't really sport cars, between the Honda engines and stock HP/torque possessing plenty of oomph for a compact, there's plenty of satisfaction in passing, getting on it or the occasional let's do it race. And the fact most Honda's are really driver's cars. People that enjoy driving tend to like Hondas a lot. Even soccer moms and dads that are driving odysseys. You wouldn't believe how often i see an odyssey getting on it. Cracks me up. I think I've had two odysseys try to race me before. Lol.
same old same old
Holy madness and crAzZyyy shiZzz. I'm glad you're ok from the accident. I appreciate you sharing that. I can definitely feel you on the accident thing. I can actually say I was in 1 that made the local news and was in our popular newspaper. I wasn't the driver and the car was scraped. I walked away with just minor cuts from glass. I'm glad we're both enjoying now... well you're almost there minus the suspension right.. he he I've never had an odyssey want a pull with me but I'll try anyone because I've had it out with a few lower powered Porsche's and gave them a good run for the money and that was due to driving which was a nice buZz to experience but not for especially 1 of them... he he The best ever was this guy in a nice well kept 5L mustang and we did like close to 10 pulls. I wish there were more people like him because he was so chill and never cared about winning or losing it was just about the fun. I should have kept in touch with him and could have been like, what's up bud? you on the road? and want to do a few pulls?... he he I don't know about the window thing but think you might be right about the aerodynamics but I do love the radio as well. The car gets started then the radio is on.. pretty much all the time. I'll say 1 of the best purchases I've made has been satellite for life. It's been nice talking with you puke. Have a good rest of your day and talk soon bud.
