I not-so-recently purchased a 2013 Civic Si Coupe, but am a recent addition to your forum! It is my first Honda and have big plans for it, especially after seeing some of the build threads here and on other forums. I also subscribe to 9thgencivic, but have found your forum to be much friendlier and more open :D

My intentions - after doing far too little research - are as follows (and in somewhat this order, as my budget is not endless):

- CDV delete
- Hondata reflash and tune
- Full Race Catted DP w/ Skunk2 76mm Cat-Back
- JDM Carbon Fiber body modifications; front, back, and engine bay (no sides)
- Seibon Carbon Fiber hood (or other custom hood w/ intercooler intake, depending)
- Supercharger: CTe or KW, still to be decided, and looking for recommendations, including possible new additions to the market!
- Proper CAI w/ SC (I'd imagine new ones will come out in the next few years as I prepare for adding the SC)
- Hasport full engine remount
- Stage 2-4 Clutch, depending on SC choice, etc.
- 500-1000cc injectors, also looking for recommendations on brands and levels depending
- Lightened flywheel. Again, looking for more info.

Piping (as in silicone tubing) is not a priority, as I am not looking to make this a show car, necessarily. Nor are other cosmetic additions aside from keeping the salt off my car in these harsh winters.

I know there are many things that still need to be added to this build, and some of them I have an idea of but am not sure of yet:

- Throttle body extension, etc
- Strut Tower Bar
- Widened Rear Sway Bar
- Additional Suspension Modifications, as in new suspension all together
- Looking for additional suggestions, especially from the big builders here!

After completing the Supercharger add-on, I will be looking at other specific upgrades including:

- BBK, preferably by Brembo, and in a size so large that few have done them on any Civic
- Rolling fenders to make room for tires of a size wide enough to accommodate the expansion in power with the SC, i.e. 18x9.5 - 18x10.5+
-

Already completed:

- HFP suspension (~1" drop, not looking to slam with Cleveland streets that have already bent 2 factory rims and 1 OEM HPD rim)
- HPD Wheels 18 x 7.5 wrapped with Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 225/40
- Winter Wheels wrapped with new W80 Blizzaks, 17x7 in 215/45
- 3M tint, to the extent of the law (Ohio sucks :( )



Pics coming shortly.

In the next year I have put aside the money for my Hondata reflash and subsequent tune with my new exhaust, but will not have saved up for the full exhaust until a month from now. Somewhere in there I plan on doing the CDV delete, and installing SS brake lines to improve braking feel before moving on to bigger and better brakes, eventually.

I have seen some cool mods done, like the Push-to-Start button conversion kit, and the S2K light mods, which very much intrigue me, but am not nearly as familiar with. If anyone can post links to these sorts of DIY threads, it would be much appreciated!!! Please and Thank You!!!!!

Welcome! That's quite the list of future mods. One thing I'll say is the KW kit comes with it's own intake, and for the CT kit, the PRL CAI has proven to be the best intake on the market so far. Very interested to see where this build goes! Got pics?

Welcome. Great parts list you have going! I think you've got a very nice build planned out.

I ordered them through my dealership, citing what I had found available through College Hills Honda. They are actually CR-Z wheels, but they fit our 9th Gen Civics just fine. :wink1:

They are 18" or 17"? Kind of hard to tell the difference.

Installed new Full Race catted downpipe and Skunk2 Megapower 76 RR catback yesterday. Pictures and video to come soon.

IT'S SOOOOO LOUD!!! (and I love it!)

Also, I do not understand why Honda would use cheap bolts on their exhaust. My car has only seen 2 winters and they were so rusted and corroded that we had to cut several of them just to get the stock exhaust off.
