2011 civic SPORT manual

[IEVAQ8]

hey guys,
last thursday i went to ferntree gully honda in victoria and made a crazy ass deal for a brand new 2011 manual black civic sport for my wife...

i pick it up tomorrow and im pretty excited.............lol

any tips or things i should keep my eyes and ears on???

im looking at doing some very basic mods for the wife as she enjoys a modified car just as much as i do...lol

im looking at tein super street coilovers, a nice and neat intake, and a highflow cat with cat back, not sure if i will be doing headers yet, and possibly a flash pro tune...

thanks for reading, and any advice/comments welcome

grats on the purchase. dont expect many gains from modding the fd2 sport engine though. basic mods people do are mainly cosmetic ie. kits/lip kits, suspension and wheels... unless u have the money for a head swap, full engine swap or forced induction, the car will be just a street cruiser.
however, looking at ur past builds, im sure ur capable of turning the car into a beast. good luck with it!

[ryaan]

if you dont mind me asking, how much did you get it for? since im planning to buy one real soon (:

Lol.....

Im in 2 minds......
Coilovers or lowered springs....
Keep in mind this car will be around for wen the family gets bigger (kids)...
I was thinking tein s/s or bc racing...but i realize that the rear is almost like a commodore style shock n spring setup..

Im thinking a set of pedders springs which will lower the car about 1.5inches....

Any thoughts/experience???

[threesix]

ive got just pedders springs. its lower than 1.5 though.

nice ride. not to ruff at all. i do live in the a.c.t though and our roads are the best. lol

[aznboiio1]

hhmmm, not a wide range of options for exhaust :L,
someone here has a j's racing 60rs catback, modded to fit our fd2,
then theres custom or axeback.

[SuperJDM.]

haha just like my mummys car :) i cant believe she actually went back and asked for an optional spoiler.....

[IEVAQ8]

Da civic has been lowered n rides amazing. ..
I used pedders springs and it sits very nice... (da wife is happy...dats all dat counts)...

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll147/ievaq8/Civic%20Sport/P5261720.jpg

next on the list, is window tint... and then mostlikely custom cat back...

[SuperJDM.]

looks real clean man, front tires look a little flat or maybe just my eyes.
nice house btw

[xenonkuraz]

Btw I have a magnaflow catback on mine and looking to do a custom one next keeping the magnaflow resonator and utilising a greddy tic muffler. Down the line I may get a set of 4-2-1 headers with HFC (either vibrant or ebay special CNT) and do 2.25-2.5" between

cool,
yeh, i cant find anything reasonable for a cat back, i think im gonna choose a x-force muffler or something and get a custom 2.5 inch cat back made up


perfect daily. the springs will sink a little too hey
. nice!!!
yeh, they have already, its due for an alignment sometime this week and i'll go from there


What's deelsh mean?
my wifes name is Diana, her nickname has always been dee, hence deelsh should read deelish

[IEVAQ8]

Hey all...
Here is da x-force muffler i am buying/picking up tomorrow for my wifes new civic sport....
It will b accompanied with a custom made 2.5" cat back mild steel exhast system made by mick (headtech in williamstown)...

http://xforce.com.au/img/universal_items/u3_03.jpg

[curtis265]

2.5 a bit big no?

Is it a varex?

[IEVAQ8]

2.5 a bit big no?

Is it a varex?

Wat makes u say this???
Usually K series loves 3"....
But since its driven by my wife...i decided smaller might b a little more reasonable...
And its not a varex

[curtis265]

Gut feeling, considering it's not a high output engine like the k20z4 or z3..

I even went 2.25 on my h22, although now i'm thinking that's a bit small :S

thanks for ur concern, ideas,
i have some ideas for this modest daily driver, im also looking at a good intake system and re-tune with hondata flash-pro...
but i might also get some headers when funds are available and something decent in price and performance comes on the market...

[SuperJDM.]

yeah i was reading on another forum that 3.0" is fine for a K series and like you said since its your wifes car and a daily 2.5" is fine.
iv got 2.5" on my B16 ATM and its running fine just lost a little low end power but meh.

also 2.25" for a H22 isnt that a little too small?

[curtis265]

fuark should i have gotten 2.5??

[IEVAQ8]

fuark should i have gotten 2.5??
i believe so...

[xenonkuraz]

Hey man flashpro ain't gonna work with our cars

[IEVAQ8]

Hey man flashpro ain't gonna work with our cars

u sure, my tuner said it would...
ohh well, i didnt pay for the flash pro, i got it for nothing as i did a job for someone....
so if it works, its a bonus

[xenonkuraz]

Yep 100% incompatible. I checked my ECU code against the hondata website and it's not listed as compatible. My ecu code is:

37820-RRF-Q02
3862-100719

However if yours being a newer model has a different ecu and it works I'd love to go from Emanage to flashpro!
