New to Honda, New to the group!

Hello from Vegas. Lurking around the site. Figured I set up a log-in. Got my eye on an '11 Si, 2dr, and I figured it's best to go to the folks who know somethin' about these cars. I'm a sportbike rider first (it's not a Honda, but I like those too), but when I'm on 4 wheels I like to enjoy what I drive. I think the Civic is a great car and I'm looking forward to it. Then I got my eye on the new "5.0" too, but that's down the road when they release the Boss. Hoping to learn from you pros. Not gonna get to crazy with mods on this car (I do enough on my bike). Maybe an exhaust change, intake, some nice wheels, supension...oops, there I go. That's how it starts. Well, see you folks on the site. BK!

Re: New to Honda, New to the group!

Welcome to the site!I love the new 8th gen SI's.The most powerful outta all the SI's so far with the K20AZ3.If your looking for some performance upgrades,go with some bolt-ons such as intake,exhaust,and header.You will be putting out nearly 200HP,if not more,with that setup on the Z3.I see you got an Impreza,any mods done to it?

Welcome to the forum!

I ride bikes too and so do some others in here!

As for power for the civic...don't waste your money except on suspension, brakes, wheels, tires and stereo maybe. Intake does a little. Exaust will only give you sound. I say make it handle like it's on rails, and leave the acceleration fo your bike.

Re: New to Honda, New to the group!

This is probably a "weeny" question, but when I finally take delivery of my car, how much can I get away with before possibly hearing Honda cry foul and say I've voided my warranty?

If everything is bolt on, Ex/In/Header , you can always take it off, doesnt void warranty if they didnt know it was on in the first place

I dont really like the 8th gen+ civics, their body styles are too fat, but whatever floats your boat i guess

I'm not gonna get to heavy into with this car. Just lookin' forward to enjoying it. I may put on a cat back for some attitude. Nothing too crazy.
