OK, OK now I'm convinced with the Injen CAI; but..

iomatic · 06-23-2007, 09:45 PM

JDM says that Injen does not cover the Si Sedan

So; what are our options--- most people seem to have no problems-- what's the final word on this?

Also, I want to do the short shifter and cable bushings while I'm in there, as well as the P2R stuff, as well as a smaller battery. Keep in mind this is my daily driver, so pro/cons, etc. would be great.

Ideas? Thoughts, opinions wanted. Though I'm sorely tempted to start with the HFP suspension and lighter Enkeis as well...

Thanks!

Injen Cai is a great first mod

Then I would do the HFP suspension. Then maybe a Buddyclub Race header.
and Progressive Rear Sway bar.
TWM short shifter is great !

I would go with the light weight wheel/tire package and the hfp suspension first, but i'm a twisties junky. The lighter wheels will give you a little better acceration as long as you don't get a bigger wheel than stock, i.e 17's not 18's. The stiffer suspension will also help launch the car better, if you are a drag racer, because it resist more weight transfer to the back of the car which means there is more weight and more traction at the front. Thats my $.02. Hope it helps.

The HFP suspension is really that good? I was under the impression that the suspension in the Si was already better than the suspension in the DX/LX/EX civics.

Specifically, reports are the HFP suspension is yet better for the Si.

It's like night and day. The handeling is improved 10 Fold.
Feels a lot more confident in the corners and doesn't lean nearly as much as with the stock springs and dampers. A very recommendable Mod which will make your car a lot more fun to drive. Unless you like just going straight then it really doesn't matter that much

Also get the Progressive Rear Sway bar along with the HFP suspension will make your car corner even better
