It's probably long overdue, but finally starting a thread for the Pro Car Studio / SiriMoto Civic Si 
So let's jump right in to some of the more recent updates to this car:
Car as it sat during the RBC Swap:
Hasport Upper and Lower Torque Mounts (62a):
I took apart the mounts to send them off to anodizing, along with a few other bits, to protect them from corrosion and start a bit of a color scheme I have planned.
RBC Swap:
- Settled on a KTuned coolant bypass/manifold adapter, as apposed to TracTuff. Upon initial install, the bypass was leaking and so I went ahead and drilled into the cylinder head to positively fasten the plate (instead of using the spring washer set-up).
- Using a 70mm Throttle Body along with the SiriMoto Big Bore Throttle Body Adapter, Thermal Throttle Body Gaskets, Thermal Manifold Gasket and SiriMoto 550cc EV14 Fuel Injectors (as the car runs Flex Fuel).
- Made an extension harness for the throttle body connector too, as the stock harness comes up short.
Skunk2 Cold Air Intake:
- Retrofitted an 8th Gen Si intake and ended up working well for me. I did not need the batter relocation bracket as I'm running a small motorcycle batter with my own bracket design (weighs about 4lbs).
Battery Relocation:
Skunk2 Composite Fuel Rail:
- I was actually running this on the stock manifold as well and it fit decently. I found the included bolts to be 5mm too long, so I simply swapped out what they included with the fuel rail. Also, had to rotate the inlet tube a bit towards the back. Reason I went with this fuel rail is due to it's material construction and the fact that it has so many ports, since I am running both a mechanical fuel pressure gauge and a electronic pressure sensor gauge.
SiriMoto Tow Strap:
- Straight forward install, simply drilled a hole in the aluminum bumper beam and used the provided hardware to bolt it in place.
