Hi everybody,
This thread is to document the build process for our 2018 Honda Civic Si sedan.
The car was purchased as an exercise to explore the potential market of 10th Civic. Since we have a lot of friends and customers with the Type R models already, we chose the Si because the customer base is broader and there are fewer companies supporting this platform.
The goal is to enhance the driving experience and greatly improve lap times without major sacrifice to the elements that make this a great street car. In doing do, the purpose is not to create an all-out time attack car (of which one already sits in the garage), but instead, a reasonable street car with performance that should rival or exceed the Type R model. Perhaps my favorite thing about this car so far is that it does not attract the same attention as a Type R.
You may notice; the car has a few minor modifications left by the previous owner such as the carbon-look mirror caps, wrapped window trim, and some aftermarket springs. All of those will be removed and done correctly.
