2nd Civic, First Si - 5/5/2008 8:21:28 AM    chili125   Posts: 5 Joined: 5/5/2008 Status: offline Hey guys I just bought a new 08 Si (habanero red ftw.) I had my last Civic (a 99 LX) for 9 years and decided to trade up to the 4 door. I am interested in performance mods (which I have never done before) and maybe a little visual mod. I guess I will spend most of my day trolling around here looking for tips. If anyone has any advice where to start I am open to suggestions. Post #: 1

I wouldn't add any performance mods that may void your warranty. _____________________________ 2001 Civic EX Coupe, 5 Speed Manual Transmission (in reply to chili125) Post #: 2

Only certain ones will effect certain parts of the warranty. For example, if you get yourself a CAI or SRI then you will not have to worry about the dealership not taking car of you and honoring your warranty when it comes to, say, your power wiindows, or seatbelts, or radio. Safe, easy, first mods are the simple Intake, Header, Exhaust; check out the stickys and FAQ And use the search button, it really does work. _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to civicn00b) Post #: 3

They really don't have the lowest prices (on products or shipping costs), they don't honor their 110% lowest price gaurantee (I've tried it), and their customer service isn't really that great either. (e.g. I found rotors on there that I was going to purchase, I saw them cheaper at TireRack.com, I brought it to their attention because I knew about the 110% gaurantee, I sent them an email about it. They said they would give me a $5.00 off coupon. Needless to say, I still saved more money at TireRack.com, a saving of I believe $46.39.) So that's my .02 on Procivic.com. Sorry to jack your thread. haha _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to okynot43) Post #: 7

But i wouldnt get anything from them unless they honored there discount thing (in reply to macbeth18288) Post #: 8
