Good Morning Y'all. I just wanted to start off by saying; The CivicX Community has been, by far, one of the best communities I've ever been a part of. So many friendly people and so many willing to help and give information.
In July 2018, I bought my Brand New 2018 Civic Si Coupe with 5 miles on the ODO. I absolutely loved the look, style and handling of the vehicle. It didn't take long before I quickly began modifying it.
300 Miles - D2 Lowering Springs
1,000 Miles - KTuner v1.2 w/TSP Stage 1 Tune.
1,000 Miles - PRL Cobra CAI w/Race MAF.
3,200 Miles - PRL Catless Front-Pipe & Down-Pipe
7,500 Miles - KTuner Flex-Fuel Kit / TSP Stage 2 Tune
12,000 Miles - Spec Inc Stage 3 Clutch w/SMF
14,500 Miles - Wilwood Upgraded CMC
The car drove beautifully and was an absolute monster. I tracked it TWICE. But, at the 2nd event, I pushed a head-gasket.
21,800 Miles - New OEM Head-gasket, ARP Head-Studs, Resurfaced Head and Valve Job.
After I got it back, I drove it for a while and it was great again. But then, I decided to change tunes.
30,100 Miles - Phearable Stage 2.5 w/GOD Mode
I continued to drive the car here and there and had no issues with it. But 2 weeks ago, I drove it to work while it was raining and the turbo sucked in water while on the freeway. The car started to sputter and I shut it off and pulled over immediately. I got it towed home and was able to pump all the water out. Flush the oil twice and got her up and running like nothing ever happened. But....I knew it was a sign.
You see, for months I've been taking one of my motorcycles to work and the car sat. I was looking to sell it and get a truck. I have started tracking my motorcycles more and more and I knew I had to get a truck for towing the bikes and gear to different tracks. After the potential Hydro-Locking issue, I dropped the car off at home and went straight to the dealership. In its current condition, with 35,710 miles on the ODO, I was offered $20,000 for the car. I jumped on it.
So folks, I sold my Si. I was sad to see it go and it was a good car. I loved it. But it was time. Thank you all for the support and help you've given me over the years. I'll continue to be around as my wife still has here 2019 Civic Si Sedan. But I'm not sure how long that will last, because she's being offered 30K+ for it in the current market. ?
In the meantime, here's a couple pics of the ole gal.
The Replacement:
2022 RAM 1500 Quad Cab Big Horn w/Night Edition Package (All Black)
