Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! So im interested in a 08 civic si coupe but i would like to know some pros:tup: and cons :tdown:about this vehicle before i make my purchase. Any suggestions or remarks would be a big help on my decision. Hope to hear from members soon!! Thanks. P.S helpful tips on modding such as intake systems, headers, and exhaust kits ext. will be appreciated.:) |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! take a look at what AEM has to offer. for starters, cold air intake is probably the first thing you want to get. I suggest either AEM or Injen. AEM claims significant horsepower boost but I prefer injen because their CAI keeps the filter behind the front bumper where it should be. |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! I was planning on getting an AEM cai but i read that its a very tight fit and eventually will rub and bend the inside of ur bumper. So ill def be getting a injen cai. So whats the deal with the 3rd gear on 8th gen civics? |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! you can get hondata ecu reflash, and some boltons like intake and exhaust, or just go with turbo or supercharger. check 8thcivic.com too. |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! yeah, Injen is probly the safest bet. Make sure you dont drive through any puddles with it! because the injen CAI is closer to the ground than AEM and will mess up your engine if you get water in the CAI but for regular driving you cant go wrong with it. |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! What do u think about the sri? should i stick with cai or sri? the cai gives more horses right? |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! its only a few hp difference. sri is alot safer. |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! Cool. I was also looking at headers and exhaust kit. should i go skunk2 headers and greddy exhaust? suggestions? |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! check out 8thcivic.com alot of info there |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! will do. Thanks. |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! I think its a great car but the older hatchback can take the corners more aggressively without a lot of over steer. I know this because I took both the old and the new out on my local track. The new one seams to be slower coming out if the corners. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND OUT WHY. The new one only has a few more horses than the old one but a lot more weight. IMO buy a older si hatch. |
Re: Purchasing a 08 si coupe soon!! Need some suggestions plz!! one of the bigger problems is the DBW throttle its all conputer control (no cable) and has serious LAG when you step on the gas. |
