2013 Civic Si build lots of pics

[ThePainter]

Purchased the car about 3 weeks ago and already started toying with it.

So far I have installed D2 coilovers,all hids and leds installed,plast dip emblems,painted brakes and new set of SSR rims 18 9.5 18offset and falken azenis tires 225/40/18.

Very nice. I like the SSRs.

Nice build so far!

Did you need LED load resistors for the switchbacks (prevent hyperflashing)? Was going to order some this week and just wanted to make sure I got them if needed.

Also another quick question, how did you mask the car emblem area? Or did you just spray and peel the excess off? Mine didn't come out so clean when I masked it with tape around there.

Edit: Also what bulb is the Map light specifically, went to go change it today and realized it doesn't take the festoons anymore?

Looks amazing, those tires are ridiculous
Future plans?

1.For the switchback I did use the resistors it came with the bulbs no problems yet
2.When I install the hids I removed the bumper and took the front and rear emblems off
3. I bought them on eBay item number 321038071085 info is there

Car handles pretty good I really like the d2 suspension no problems with them I don't hear any noises and it rides smooth as for sway bars I haven't added them yet but I will in the next couple of weeks

Thanks for the info! Hmm that auction says it has a DE3175 DE3022 replacements which is what the Map/Dome lights used to be. Mine are completely different, were yours those bulbs or were they a 194 looking one? See: http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/i...dome-light-2012-civic.3761/page-3#post-180791 for what mine look like. Is this what you had in your 2013?

Good luck with the turbo! (trying to decide between that and an aftercooled/ported supercharger -- I've had a turbo before so I think I may try something different on this car!)

Car looks great so far though, can't wait to see when you get that turbo though

 

[ThePainter]

Thats what I ordered and it work just fine but I only needed 3 bulbs 2 for the map lights and 1 for the rear so I have an extra set since it comes with 6 bulbs

Nice ride. Its gonna be beast with the turbo kit.

Car looks great! How do those wheels fit? I want to go 9.5 wide but I'm thinking they will rub with how low I like to be. Have you rolled fenders yet? Do you have any fitment or rubbing issues? Thanks

Honestly i think the 9.5 with such a low offset was to big in that picture the rear quarter panel was sitting on the tire so a camber kit and rolled quarters are a must for the front wasn't to bad with the camber plates adjusted right it will fit nice. I might be trading the rims don't know if I want to deal with the headache and trust me I would hate to mess up such nice wheels and I work at bodyshop and I think its still a lot of work to make them fit right.......

OMG those wheels

Yeah I saw the side pic, that's a lot of poke! I think I'm gonna stick with 9" or even 8.75". Thanks!
