    Talking Any Performance Mods To YOUR Car?

    Exhaust? Tune? Supercharger?

    I think it`s safe to say that most of us here are car guys...errrr...or car gals...so does your obsession stop at paint care and detailing or are you a gear head as well?

    I`ve been a car guy longer than I can remember, and when I purchased my Civic Si last fall I didn`t waste any time researching various performance upgrades.

    So far I have:

    -K & N Typhoon Series Cold Air Intake
    -Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust

    I can honestly say that both mods were worth every penny and then some. While neither one can really be felt seat-of-the-pants, they definitely increase smiles as the tach (quickly) races to 7,000 RPM. It`s not uncommon for me to get in the car and turn the radio OFF, and instead listen to the sound of the engine as I cruise home from work.

    Long term mods planned:

    -Hondata FlashPro (After warranty runs out)
    -HFP (Honda Factory Performance) 18 inch wheels.

    So with that being said, what mods have you done to your car? If you haven`t done any yet, what mods are on your wish list?

    For my Land Rover discovery 2 I put snow tires on for off-road adventures. Also took front bumper cover off for more clearance, and thinking about putting a snorkel on in the near future.

    Not too many options for a little Chevy sonic. I`d really love to get HID headlamps and convert other bulbs to LED.

    If anything I`d want an intake but probably skip on the exhaust. Not the biggest fan of little 4 bangers with loud exhausts

    I`m fighting my bad habit with this car and trying to keep it as stock as possible. I`m thinking about getting darker tint but that`s about it.

    I`ve never seen that thread! Awesome! I had no idea you were an audio guy. I worked at an audio shop for 2 years and never considered it work.

    This is the wrong thread to read if I`m trying to keep this car stock.

    My 2014 Civic Si is leased so no real mods, but I guess you can call this an upgrade in visibility performance.

    Stock:


    PIAA Intense Whites:


    Also, a weighted ICB Motorsport shift knob:


    I also made my own license plate bracket so the top of the plate is now flush with the top of the bumper instead of below it.

    Re: Any Performance Mods To YOUR Car?

    Used to have a `93 Rx-7. Street ported motor, rebuilt stock twin turbos, Apexi intake, large Koyo radiator, HKS then switched to Blitz BOV, upgraded intercooler and vacuum hoses and a Blitz Nur Spec catback. A little bit of suspension and brake work as well. It was my dream car but unfortunately I didn`t have the money to do everything I wanted or keep it once my daughter was born.


    Was dropped right after fitting these wheels.

    I want to see Black Bart`s list. Probably have to start a new thread to make room for it.

    Only two on a 2008 RAV4 Limited V-6. Larger anti sway bar at the rear and a tower strut brace under the hood. It handles well for a tall grocery getter.
