Talking Atruhondagrl's SI- Evolution of the Meanie

Ricky... Always remember: There can be may imitators but there can only be one true original.

Edit June 07, '07: I wanted to creat a thread highlighting the evolution of this car but I still had this thread laying around. So here is the new edited and modified version.

This is the Blue Meanie, a 2006 Civic Si that I've had since March '06.

April '06:
My first mod was an AEM CAI that was installed a week after I bought the car.


May/June '06:
The next stage of growth for the Meanie was 17" x 7" Enkei Evo6 wheels in hyperblack. A GReddy EVO II exhaust and about 4 shifter knobs



July '06:
Cleared headlights



September '06:
Traded the Evo6 wheels for 18" RPM2's, Injen CAI, no kit yet, and in a great need of a drop


October '06:
Finally got that HFP kit. Still needed the suspension



November '06:
Got that drop and a powder coated valvecover:





November '06- June '07:
car goes into storge while I go to kuwait.

June '07:
Retros installed, ECU reflashed, Navi installed and SSR headers sitting in garage awaiting my return.







Mods list as of June 2007:

Injen CAI
SSR Header
GReddy EVO2 cat-back
Hondata ECU Reflash
TEIN SS coilovers with EDFC
SPC camber kit front and rear
Progress sway bar
Enkei RPM2 wheels in hyperblack (18"x 7.5"/ +42 offset)
Toyo T1R tires (225/40/18)
Projector Retro (Customlightz)
Navi retro
HFP Lip kit
Lamin-X tinted tail lights
HFP Fog lights
Wrinkle blue powder coated Valve cover
Comptech Short shifter
Corsport shifter bushings
Skunk2 weighted shift knob
Auger shift boot
JDM Silver spark plug cover (not pictured yet)
Skunk2 billet engine accesories
Spoon socks (not pictured yet)
Custom painted grill

Dream mods
:
LED tails and third brake light. Tastefully done. No altezzas or euros.

Future mod:
FI and that is it.

I would like to thank all of you at 8thcivic whom without, most of this couldn't have happened. You all have been great and have offered advice, opinions and info at every turn and not just for myself but for others as well. You've inspired and in a few folks cases... conspired You've bought my parts, sold me parts, help me install or remove things. Thanks to some of you for answerring your phone when I was having a moment. Thanks to those of you who've offered unfailing support via AIM, Yahoo etc.

I'm still not finished. I will be soon though. Then I'll need to find another project. This hobby is expensive and addictive. A good plan and great help goes a long way. Thank you members and sponsors of 8thcivic.com.
And remember, critism and support are always needed. If you want to do it and it makes you happy then go for it!

From this:


To this:
In 14.5...months flat


Closest thing I have to a before and after in the same pic:

Well, I was originally planning to get another car to drive as a daily driver and just go to town on this one with mad hp gains. But I want to buy a house so getting another car is useless unless it's a $2k pos. After driving from Allentown to VA beach Wednesday night in torential downpours and low temperatures, I think having a supercharger will benefit me more and allow me to enjoy the car for a longer amount of time. Reliabilty (since it'll still be a daily driver) and winter time driving.... mabye. We'll see. I suffer from female indecisiveness.

Yeah. I'm scared. What am I going to do when I get back and the car is finished? I'm going to need another car. I still want the 328i or an STI. I want a house more. I guess I'll see what happens and how much $ I actually make over in Kuwait before I start thinking about car #2.
