That makes sense. Thanks for the info. This all new to me coming from vdub. Lmao we just retune the car and pick up loads of power. I really like how those civic drives tho. It has a fun factor that other cars just don't have. I do feel it's under powered a little but that's coming from a factory turbo person

You can always upgrade the power department. These civic respond very well to mods. You so have to get them retune to make the most power. But I agree they just have a fun factor that I really didn't get from anything else but the civic and the evo

Lmao don't get me started on EVO's. I wanted bad but they just don't last long. My buddy is complete crap. But he has the older one a EVO 8. I like the EVO 10 a lot and they have a front end that is just crazy mean looking

Yea. I almost bought a evo 10. I really did. I sometimes wish I did. But after I turbo my civic I should be way better off than a lot of evo. But that front end can't be matched. It has the best front end to date.

To be honest with you. It was just how expensive they are to owned. Also the aftermarket parts are sky high as well the car note was good for me but my car insurance would have high as hell too. But I love my civic now. It has grown on me

Fair enough..... The aftermarket parts are kinda like vdubs. They are pricey but you don't need much to make then fast. You know with a couple on bolts tbey can make over 340whp which is nice. What is the highest 2012-2014 civic

Yea they are that's why I'm glad I'm in my civic. Now far as highest whp the bismoto fully built car made 1000hp. But that is a complete race car. Right 502whp is the highest stock block horsepower 2012-2014
 
Well parts are starting to come in! Finally got my RBC manifold cleaned it up, sanded it down with 325 grit, 400 grit, 800 grit and lastly 2000 grit it was actually beginning to become polished so then we primed it with 3 coats and then 4 coats of VHT high temp satin black paint.... Did the same with throttle body. Came out amazing!

I vtec'd with 6 miles on the car that I test drove (2012 CBP sedan). I asked the salesman, who joined me for the test drive because he hadn't been in the 9th gen yet, if it was okay to get on it. He said "Go for it. I have an 8th gen Si and wondered what the 9th can do." So I thrashed it, but good.

I bought the other '12 CBP sedan on the lot, which had 3.1 miles on it. Moral of the story . . . what break in period? If someone like me drove your car before you did, then what????

Wow. Looks great! Looks like the one I prepared over the winter with VHT wrinkle black, but haven't installed, because of the RBC Torque Dip Controversy.

My point is that there is no break in period for a solid car with today's tolerances, that's all.lol

Yes and no! There is a small period where they kinda want you to not beat the living **** out of it. But it's not crazy long.
