2012 R18 Mods worth it?

Hello, I have a stock 2012 Honda Civic R18 that needs more power! Any way to make it beat a 9th gen Si?

Forced induction is the only shot you have, unless you K-swap it.

In either case, cheaper to just sell and buy another car.

If you want to get drastic, roughly 800 lbs of weight reduction should net about the same power to weight ratio as an Si. That is a lot of weight to lose though.

darn, that a lot more than a drivers' diet can achieve
