Hey guys,
I brought a 2017 Civic Si Coupe (Rallye Red) over a year ago. Initially, the only reason why I brought it was because it was within my budget and I liked the looks. I didn't care about modifying it or the Si Culture, hell I didn't even knew how to drive a manual. I would have taken it in automatic if it were available when I brought it. But slowly over the past year, with interactions I've had with other car people this car attracted, knowing more about my car, and actually racing with a WRX the other night, All I've been thinking about is modifying my Si. I've done some research and lurking for a couple of days on here and I'm confident with one steps to first take but would like some guidance.
I think the first step I'm going to do is getting the PRL Cobra CAI which does little for performance but gives that "turbo noise" as well as making the car more efficient. From what I read, it's a safe modification that's relatively inexpensive. The only downside is hyrdrolocking(?) or water getting into filter but apparently this isn't a problem unless you're driving in a foot of water.(Correct me if I'm wrong trying to learn). It's also an easy install. The second thing I'd be getting is Ktuner V1.2 with Stage 1 TSP. A tuner that can be run with pretty much stock Si. Ultimately, I would like to give the car more "oomph" for now and I'm confident with these mods, it'd be enough to satisfy my need for speed. Any advice, guidance, etc is more than welcomed.
Some of the mods I have done are:
-tinted windows (20% all around except for windshield)
-Switched out the dim headlights for white bright ones (purchased from auxbeam)
-added colored lights in the foot well of the car
-sticker for that +5HP
