:wavey: Hey everyone!!! My name is Tyler. I live in Michigan. Today, i purchased an 08 Fuji Blue Pearl Civic Si. I was browsing vehix and found it only 30 miles away. Dealership wanted $18.5K, and i talked them down to $16.6K. I figured it was a steal bc it only had 18K miles!!! I dont have any pics yet bc, of course, we havent had rain in over 2 weeks and today it decided to rain.

I already have a few plans. Springs, wheels (next summer) i/h/e and reflash in the spring. Ill make a build thread later on.

Alittle background. Im not so new to honda. I had a black 00 civic si. I loved that car. i had it for 6 years. Here are some pics. About a month ago, i parked my car downtown, street flooded from a freak downpour and thunderstorm, and my car completed flooded. Water was half way up the door. I had the car towed bc i didn't want to start it. I made an insurance claim. In the process, they tried starting my car, ecu was pwnd, starter broke causing the motor to seize. Waited 3 weeks for insurance to figure out something. Meanwhile, i collected all my things in the car, and took pics of all the mold that formed. Showed them to my insurance agent and less than a day later i received a check for 6800. WAAYYY more than i thought id get for a 10 year old car with 143k miles. here it was before all that...

before they towed it away, i took out the bride seat, the turbo, manifold, hondata and intercooler. sold everything in a day and a half. they wanted too much to buy the car back. i said f**k it and put a larger down payment down. i miss it alot. but it was getting old and starting to have more problems.

Nice em1. Hopefully you can make this one just as clean. Question for you. What did you think of the ride of the Koni struts and Ground Control coilover sleeves? Like how did it compare to the stock one 9if you can remember, if not thats cool). I also have an 08 Si and trying to think of a good suspension set up on a budget

the ride quality of my old setup was amazing. i had that setup for almost 4 years and not once had any doubt of changing it or had any problems.

my friend gets H&R, and Eibach springs at cost, so im thinking of just doing springs. 1.5 or 1.7 inch drop. im searching all over for the differences between h&r, eibach and tein s techs.
