Been here for a little bit just stalking setups and fappin to pics and what not. I'm just chillin down here in Austin, TX. I like bacon and girls that don't speak much English. Bought the car about a month ago bone stock (except for this stupid hack *** fart can the guy that owned it the first 27k miles welded on there). It feels good to be back in the Honda game. We'll see where this takes me. First thing I did was spend most of the day after I bought it getting the stupid pin stripe (Jesus those things are sticky) and the DOHC VTEC decals off.

2013 Civic Si Crystal Black Pearl

So far I've done:

H&R Sport Springs
215/45/17 on 17x7 +35 WedsSport SA90 Reps originally bronze, now dipped white.
Slut red lugs/locks and 1" Spacers
Mugen style visors (this seemed to be mandatory to be able to post here)
Carbon wrapped everything chrome (grille/foglight trim pieces/back trim piece)
Rear debadged (excpts H symbol which will be dipped black this week)
Front badge wrapped gunmetal metallic

I think I did ok for the first month. I have a carbon rear roof lip but haven't stuck it on yet. Going to HIN in Houston this weekend and frankly, I don't trust that city. I'll come out from the hotel to find the leftovers of 3M double stick tape and will have no choice but to remove the gunk using only my tears for gunk remover. I will say that the stock wheels with the 1" spacers on the H&R's fit perfect. I rub a little on a turn with a bump or if I do something stupid I forget to slow down over the railroad tracks. Pot brownies will make you do that sometimes. Next up will most likely be 5% tint and more suspension upgrades (why the f do these things have so much body roll??) and then I'll have to take a look at what direction I want the car to go from there, kind of torn between slow and slick or track attack. These types of decisions are precisely how you know you bought a well rounded vehicle. High five Japan.

Pics for funsies...

fart can? Probably N1 or Skunk 2:thumbsdown:

Congrats OP your car looks good:thumbsup:
 
Thanks - Unfortunately...I don't even think it's that good. It's some universal monstrosity that sticks out like 2" from the bumper and the worst part is he hacked the factory axle back off to weld this thing on. Going with the Full Race cat-back asap.

Hows the white "dip" holding up to the brake dust? Out of curiosity.
 
Well they've been on a total of 2 days...so I have no idea yet. There's supposed to be rain for the next couple days so we'll see how dirty they get vs how easy they get clean. I will say that I ****** up the dip a little putting them on. The outside of the lugs has a gnarled crisscross pattern that chewed into the sockets a little bit. Can't tell unless you're up on it. I put 4 cans on them, so it's pretty smooth. Goal for the dip is to do a test run on some colors before I go paint. I don't mind the bronze the wheels are originally...but they have this stupid blue painted ring on the lip (almost looks purple) I can't stand. It was funny trying to mount them without getting smudges all over them. Gloves + ninja hands + yoga pose = win. I didn't swap out my sensors yet so I have to look at that damn light. Anyone here ever made a TPMS canister or know where to get one?

the TPMS bomb won't work. The sensors require them to be rotating to send a signal.
 
@Nix I thought you would've been all over the sway bar recommendation already. To get rid of the body roll, you'll want to go with a bigger rear sway bar. Everyone's favorite seems to be the Progress 22mm or 24mm
 
What he said. Hahaha, get the upgraded rear sway bar. Best bang for the buck handling mod you can do. Less than $200 for the 22mm bar.
