finally got me an si
 
i kinda went opposite to what i use to have(2001 mustang gt) to a 2008 civic 4dr si BLACK but i didnt know it would be that much fun to drive and i came out only paying 375/ month



what are some beginner mods i have options on this is my first honda so im in the dark also i dont want to void tha warranty bc i drive almost 150 miles a day

Congrads on the car. They are fun as hell man. I use to only drive trucks, and always made fun of ' rice '. Now i'm addicted.
wow, 150 miles a day? thats CRAZY.
Start off with your basic mod of the full intake.
I dont think a muffler will hurt warranty, as it has never effected me.
Short-throw is great, if stick. < better be stick >
Rims and tint. Would be smokin clean.
Other than that, I'm not sure. You could actually ask your Honda dealership what all you can do without voiding it.
Ya gotta update us with some pictures!

i thought it already had a short throw in it atleast it feels like it but who knows but i like the muffler its quiet but loud when you want it......i am definitly getting tint and maybe rims i kind of like the way it looks but things will change

ya i think tint is the best thing you can do to the car! just have it done by a pro!
protects the interior and makes it harder for prying eyes looking in your car!

when there's a problem with your car and you claim the warranty, it will void it if it turns out that a mod that you did actually cause the problem. si's are great model for civic, i would begin with appearance mods, like tints and wheels. since i think the si's are perfect as is internally, maybe just I/H/E, although i like the SI exhaust

ya i found a 4dr si that had blacked the si rims with a red ring and i do have to say that it looks badass but im thinking about keeping a silver ring around mine but i havent even owned it a week im just gonna wait awhile maybe when taxes come back

Si is a nice car. But out of curiosity, why did you switch from Muscle to import?

addiction2bass 09-22-2008 06:04 PM

hell i can answer that.LOL

.....MPG....

cassimus 09-23-2008 05:50 PM

ya MPG and for the price i was looking for a brand new it was honda and i cant stand scion so..... but ya my 01 gt had 96k and when i drive 1000k a week it wasnt gonna hold long

08CCSI 09-24-2008 04:23 AM

tint, the all weather floor mats. some extra bass.

cassimus 09-27-2008 12:36 PM

ya tha factory sub is alright but not the best and tint is definitly getting done soon probably 22 all tha way around with a limo sunstrip and 50% on tha windshield

moatezhab 09-28-2008 05:21 PM

Get yourself some rims, and intake and tint! Civics are awesome fun to drive!

Your gonna tint your windshield? No! I don't like the look of the sunstrip either. Whats legal where you are? My tint is 5% all the way around and it looks good. But tinted your windshield is most def illegal and dangerous.

not a good idea. Its a DD and its a 2008. He said he wants to keep the warranty so swapping the engine would DEFF VOID the warranty!

Also the K20Z3 is a very respectful engine at 197 bhp @ 7800 rpm and with some bolt on mods will work a RSX all day long

cassimus 10-01-2008 05:29 PM

about the tint.... ga is 35% i think so my 22 is the next step down and ive had it on my past 5 vehix so i thinkill be alright and also to clarify my windshield thought i just want to put the lightest tint possible good enough to knock the glare because with the long ass winshield i feel like im in the tanning bed for a 150 miles a day......


my future plans involve CAI rims and tint.....definitly no muffler or catback mods bc i cant stand the sound "forgive my french" of a bumble bee haha and i think the si comes with a sweet sound as it is


ps i still miss the tq and feel of my mustang :(
