The Re-Birth of the Si...goodbye 06 hello 08 - Page 2

Dark_KnightSi · 02-09-2010, 11:00 AM

Yeah its really not that shiny the sun was beeming down. The inserts came from amazon lol however they have stick back side that doesn't stick too well so I liked them enough to add a llittle super glue but I don't plan on changing it out but the won't fall out ha. As for getting the civic back I didn't wreck it just got too many tickets and needed to do some growing up.

Dark_KnightSi · 02-09-2010, 03:54 PM

Ha ha yes it does...but have to learn there is a time and place for fun and running it wide open all the time is not the way to go...

devani · 02-09-2010, 04:33 PM

The Eibach sways are great the difference in steering response is night and day. Also gives a lot of driver confidence. The downside is more understeer because though the rear is thickened too, it's proportional so it still keeps the factory understeer bias. I wouldn't ever take them off though plus they go great with the whole time attack color scheme.

HFP suspension ftw best mod I ever got for the money.

oh i agree totally dude...Anything suspension wise other than HFP is throwing money away, one of the main points of the redesigned Si was the cornering and suspension work stock...and thanks for the info on the Eibach kit you buy the anti-roll kit or both bars individually...?

I bought the whole kit from Corsport. They actually lowered their price for me when I found a site offering it cheaper so if you get it get it from them.

Some random site I don't remember. But they had CA sales tax that gets added on after so Corsport would have come out way cheaper even without the discount they gave me.

So just go with Corsport.

how well does the Passport 9500i work?

Dark_KnightSi · 04-19-2010, 10:35 AM

I works amazing. I haven't been pulled once since having it. Has GPS system where you can store soprd traps and lock out those annoying security door alerts. It also tells you what type of band its picking up and a different alert sound for each as well. Another thing is it displays your curent speed on the display face when clocked or a signal is picked up I thinks its range its up to 7 to 9 miles or something like that. They have a new version out now with some other cool tools on it so if you are thinking of getting one go ahead and get the new one they run about the same price
