I plan on updating the looks first then the suspension, then a clutch and a tune. After all that I will start focusing on intake, exhaust and all that jazz.

You should probably do the tune AFTER you install all your go fast bits.

Sorry what I meant was buy the Honda FlashPro. There is a +9 PSI tune but I have heard the stock clutch is slipping at that point. It wouldn't be a custom tune just one that comes on the FlashPro. Should have made that more clear. After I get the go fast parts then of course customer tune.

Ordered the front lip and side skirts today for my sedan. Should have them on the car in a few days. I have a few other things in the works as well. Really enjoying owning this car.

We're twins! Got the same one.

I also traded out of a RWD V8 for the turbo 4 - except my RWD V8 was slow.

I too sold my mustang gt for a civic si. Mine was a 2008 gt and I just got my si three weeks ago in cbp. 600 miles in and loving the car. Reason I went with the sedan is I'm having a kid soon and need the extra room or else I would have kept the mustang.
First post btw. New to the Honda scene

Well the good thing is you have just as many options to modify your new car as your old.

Thanks man. This will be my second kid. I have a girl this one will be a boy! I didn't have a problem putting one car seat in the mustang but two of them would be impossible

I gave up a 2005 C6 Corvette I had for 12 years. The only thing I miss is the brute hp it had. I do not miss the many maintenance problems those cars have. Especially electrical gremlins.
