Just ordered 2012 civic SI
 

nice!! congrats can't wait for pics

Wish i had money for another honey..

Congrats. Personally I would find out what you can do to it without voiding the manufactures warranty for the first 3/36 and wouldn't get an extended service contract if your planning on big mods which it sounds you are going to do atleast down the road.

Actually your supposed to put new decals on once the side skirts are on. Here is a link to the install instruction for them and they tell you how to apply them on page 13 of the instructions. They are sold seperately though.

Maybe im wrong..
but is it really safe to be running your car on the dyno they day you buy it?
Cars going to have like 6 miles on it, and you're not going to wait till the break-in period is up?

I've always been told, and always waited till I got a couple thousand miles, or a few months before flooring my brand new cars.

Take it as a FYI, because I would hate to see you pay 27k (ouch) on a civic just to have some major/minor engine work in a few years..

Congrats though, excited to see it. I like the new body style of the Si.

Different people say different things, in the end though the tune on it is some bullshit basemap. A nice tune in the beginning can't hurt.

They day i bought my 08 civic si brand new with only 40miles on it i took it up to fuel cut at 133mph ran strong for the next 36k then i got board and traded it in.

I got a 2012. But its a four door lx :/. Still love it tho :)

Can't wait for pics

Thanks for the link guess im getting the skirts also now.


As for the tune and break in period. I will run at least 100 miles in the first day just goofing around and tune it ASAP. Also I run full synthetic oil starting the second I get the car. Some say that also is not good but others say its fine. I personally think 100 miles the way I drive is a full break in period and a good reason to switch to full synthetic oil hehe.:lightsword:

When my dad got his new Porsche they told him all he had to do was make sure he didn't stay in the same rpm for to long

Congrats on the new upgrade.

congrats on the purchase man

Congrats! But FACK $27k? Lots of choices in that price range.

Sweet buy man! you'll deff love its potential

Honda runs a break in procedure at the manufacturer on an engine dyno, so i think you'll be good to go...

When i build a fresh motor it goes straight to dyno once i know the fans are working, no coolant issues, no oil leaks. I leave it in Joes hands and no prayer is needed. Joe also knows how to give a motor alittle break in period on the dyno aswell.

wow, you can own 9 EGs for that price!

27k? total??
since my bf is cheeap,, ima buy my own.. =)
lol.. i want ONE SOOOOO BAD!!

But they are old and molested

fuck yeah cant wait the turbo

Unfortunately for him, he'll be breaking it in for awhile, as the Hondata FlashPro does not yet work with the 2012 Si with the K24 engine.. That damn Tsunami also fuxored the factory that makes Honda ECU's, delaying many models from release..

As long as he doesnt decide to paint the car or work on it himself with his home depot toolset, the car should be fun for a long time. :)

damm dude thats gonna be dope!!!

lmao....


in for pix....:biggrin:

The 12 looks awesome! I hope they fixed all the problems, My Wifey drives 08 si and has had visors break about ten times, brake calipers where bad and latest problem is bump stops are making odd noises.

I want one :)

No pics yet?

going to have to do a head swap also if you want to put a header or turbo manifold on.

27K!? Shiiit i would have bought an Evo or Sti

this shit is gonna be sick!!!



Subbed11

go to hondas website and build one lol i did it right before i saw this post.

Not brand new you wouldn't have. Those are almost $40k +++ with TTL

No of course not new, i meant used. I would spend about 20-23k for a clean Evo 9 and then the rest on minor bolt-ons.
