2012 Si Sedan Build

[Bikit]

Hi guys! I've lurked around here for a while, but never bothered to post. I have a 2012 Si that I have been working on for awhile, and I thought I would post some pictures of it. I actually bought it from the Honda dealership I work at with many of the mods that came on it, it came from an auction in Virginia all the way to Texas. Would be kinda cool if someone else on this site owned it at one point!

I have some more things planned, but for now I just thought I would say hi!

very nice & welcome to the site. How many of the mods listed were on the car when you bought it? All of them?

 

[Bikit]

Most of the mods came with it. I ended up buying my own flashpro as it was tuned but I couldn't change anything without one, although the tune that is on it right now seems to be ok, so I have not done much with that. I hope to tune through Vit soon though. I also purchased the taillights, bulbs, JDM logos, shift knob, and did the Skunk2 downpipe myself. Many of the big things like the RBC manifold came on it. Whoever owned the car before me definitely seems to have done everything well.
Only issue I'm having now is strange, there is a weird noise that happens when I'm taking off from a stop in first gear, as I'm letting off the clutch. Not sure what it is, even the Honda techs I work with say that they haven't heard that noise before.

Tried to get a couple of better pictures, sucks that my only source of a camera is an iPhone 5S. Next mod is a pair of UAE headlights once I pay for the next semester of school!

the noise youre hearing is the clutch. mine did the same exact thing and i took it to honda to have it checked out. replaced whole clutch and flywheel assembly under warranty. nice car though!!!

car is looking great OP! and welcome!

my car is making the same noise with the clutch. But I'm past that 3 year, 36k mark. I wonder if they'll still cover it.

2012 Civic Si has a 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain warranty

Thanks just realized this after some research last night. Seems like some had luck others had a hard time and a few were basically told to F off. Mine doesn't happen often so it'll probably be hard to get it fixed

Had another tech look at it, and they are convinced it is the throwout bearing. Getting it replaced under warranty, but I'm debating if I should go with an aftermarket stage 1 clutch and lightweight flywheel or not. Is it that big of a difference?

You'll need flashpro if you do a lightweight flywheel. If you don't have it, it will throw the car into limp mode.

I have a Flashpro, I think I read about that. You have to turn off misfire detection, correct?

 

[webby]

Yeah Doug at hondata said you would get misfire codes.

No aftermarket flywheel for me, decided it was too much trouble, not to mention a lot more expensive then just doing a stock clutch which already feels good.

Just recently took a trip to our local drag strip with my friend and his supercharged 8th gen Si. Had a lot of fun, even if my time wasn't so good. Best was a 10.086 1/8th mile. Still has a lot of fun, i'll have to do it again! Heres some super low quality pictures

You know how the supercharged 8th did?

He was having issues with his tune, it was corrupted when he uploaded it, and whenever he used his two step, the car would stall. Even with all those issues, he ran a 9.04. That car is awesome though, I've personally seen him run all over 5.0 mustangs with it
