2006 Honda Civic Si Turbo - Lots of Extras!
 
Not for sale anymore.

I can't figure out how to lock this thread. Usually it's in thread tools..?

If a Mod would be so kind as to lock this for me. Thanks.

nice ride man - what you gonna get once you sell her?

Alexus 07-20-2009 01:03 PM

Regardless of how much money you've spent on what is, after all, a Civic, I do have to say that the aesthetic modifications are tasteful and live up to the long list of performance modifications that were done to it. Does it even have traction at all with the turbocharger?

No offense, but this is money well wasted, but very nice ride nonetheless. Just my opinion. Good luck with the sale. :P

AIT racing kits are really popular and appeal to many people. honestly i think he may have spent nearly the same amount of money into exterior/interior and bolt ons as he did his FI work. I am sure his car give you a run for your money in the speed factor though regaurdless of wether it is a honda or not

Fail. What, is the 370 God's new chariot and no boosted Civic can beat it?

Nice Civic OP... good luck on your sale.

SOLISIMO 07-20-2009 03:37 PM

I dont drive a "370" but seeing where your from and your sig. yes the civic will beat everything :rolleyes:

I'm well aware that you don't drive a 370, which is apparent right under your user name.

As for the second comment, WTF is that supposed to mean?

Sorry for the OT free bumps OP.

TARDCORE 07-20-2009 05:05 PM

he is getting at you drive an EVO which makes it "ricey" so you stick up for a car that may seem "ricey"... i don't know. But a 2700 lb car with 260 hp at the WHEELS vs a 3300 lb car with 330 hp at the CRANK are two different beast sir. grats

P.S. no offense solismo but I am pretty sure even tho your G may have full bolt ons which prob cost you an arm and a leg it still won't pwn this car not even close

Celcius 07-20-2009 05:16 PM

Whoa guys, I'm just trying to sell my car. I wasn't claiming by any means that my car is better than, or even equal to a 370, or G37 with bolt ons. :tiphat:

I do appreciate the bumps, but please bear in mind that my car wasn't designed to impress you(well, technically it was since I'm supposed to be stirring up business for my sponsors, but I try to keep that off forums), it was designed to be a fun starter car for myself. Now I'm at a point where I'd like to sell it and move on to a new project. Over the past three years of ownership I've received both positive and negative feedback, but was hoping that one of the people who followed my cars evolution into what it is today would like to pick up where I left off and continue the build. If not, I'll more than likely end up parting out.

I never said it wasn't a Civic, but thank you in regards to my aesthetic mods being "tasteful". :)

Traction wasn't an issue when I was Proxes on it, but I retired those a while back and now it's on 'high-performance' Hankooks. I'll admit that these tires are no where near as good as my old T1Rs, and it's disappointing at times.

In response to this car being money well wasted, I have to disagree. This wasn't an investment for me. I didn't expect to get a return by adding all of these parts, and I doubt most people put money into their car to see it grow. That's what FOREX and etrade are for. If I could quantify the amount of fun and enjoyment I got out of this car in money, then I would say it was well worth the 'investment'. :driving:

It's impossible to convey the emotion and history that this car has built up in a quick for sale thread, which is why I linked to the build thread on the civic forums. Much of the aesthetics were provided to me free of charge so long as I agreed to promote the companies that were generous enough to give me the parts, and I was more than happy to oblige. Car shows, local meets, and any sort of car related events were a blast for me. I would've done it all for free regardless. Heck, I hope to do the same thing with my next project car!

If it's alright with everyone here, I'd like to keep the discussion about whether or not my weak little Civic is as powerful as a V6 3.7L powered sports car to a minimum. It's like comparing a 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi against a 2007 Kia Sedona EX

That said, if there are any rich billionaires here who want to buy my car so that they can crush it with a monster truck and aire it on YouTube, or if there's another average Joe here who wants a fun showy Civic to cruise around California in, let me know!

I'll make it clear now that I'm not getting a 370. If I have a friend who owns a car that I want, I make it a rule not to get one until one of two things happens - he either needs to sell the car or total it, or he has to die and I get to inherit the car(hear that Derek? I better be in your will!). I've always wanted an S2K for a beater, but I have way too many friends with S2Ks. Same for 350s, and pretty much every other 'tuner' car. I'm looking for a car that's a little less common, but still affordable on a College kids budget.

shabarivas 07-20-2009 06:39 PM

Wow - some of the FASTEST quarter mile times have been from boosted civics... you have to respect a fast car - and that car is certainly faster than ANY bolt on g/z

CBRich 07-25-2009 10:01 AM

Not sure what all the hate is about. It's a car that is modified. I'm sure there are Viper owners who think modified 370s are stupid. And there are Ferrari owners who think modified Vipers are stupid. And Veyron owners who think modified Ferraris are stupid. Get it?

It's the car he chose and he modified it. He probably did so to enjoy himself, not to make a point about the superiority of the Civic over some other vehicle.

In any case, BUMP, for a nice ride.

tbonesteak 07-30-2009 09:40 AM

Celcius, hope your car sells brotha. Your car is sick. I have a soft sport for hondas. I've owned 2 modified accords, 1 modified s2000 and a buncha other 2 wheeled stuff including atvs. I loved every moment with every vehicle and totally respect what you've done to your car. Gluck mang.

Celcius 08-01-2009 03:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words! :tup:

Asking $18,995 now.

Sun Auto ground and voltage kit won't be included, and as a heads up, all of the vinyls will be taken off prior to sale.

initialgemini 08-01-2009 05:31 PM

bump from another k20 owner. :tiphat:

BMW Killa 08-01-2009 05:35 PM

Looks nice for what its worth

IMWEZL 08-01-2009 08:28 PM

Celcius, have you tried forumshawaii.net? I think shipping from SoCal to Hawaii is <$1K.
Good luck with the sale.

ChrisRV 08-30-2009 12:49 PM

Hi, I'm Wicky
 
Hello, I'm Wicky, nice to meet you. :)

Did you keep the OEM parts you replaced?

I say strip it to stock, sell the parts and the car separately, you are sure to make more than you are looking at getting put together.


Edit: I reread and saw that you kept some OEM parts.

Completely agree, yea its not a 370 but look at the work and pride thats been put into it. A tuner is a tuner, and in my opinion (I'm not a civic fan either) its a really nice looking and probably running car.

I'm sure u can find someone who will really jump on this once they see it, not sure if the370.com is the place but your sure as hell gonna sell it.

Shunya 09-02-2009 06:09 AM

not really a fan of Turbo FWD's but this is a nice car :)

I have not. Not sure I'd want to deal with the hassle of shipping a car even if it's under 1k. Sounds like too many things can go wrong between here and there.

The car is still for sale, but I think I'm going to part out now. I haven't received any serious offers, mostly people asking if they can make payments to me(is this some new fad or something?) instead of financing it through a bank. I'm still pretty young, but to me it sounds like a scam or a liability issue at the very least.

I'm waiting on the editors of Super Street and Honda Tuning to get back to me. Both said they might be interested in featuring it, but I want to sell it and every day I wait for a response is another day that the car sits in the garage depreciating... at least the car I want to buy will be depreciating as well, so I suppose they cancel eachother out? :eekdance:

Naw just have the buyer worry about that if they are from Hawaii.

Crayzitalian3 09-05-2009 09:06 PM

how does your AIT kit hold up as a daily driver? i might be gettin the new gtr kit for my altima once it comes out

smurfblu13 09-06-2009 01:56 AM

Bump for a nice car! Good luck with the sale OP. Buyer will def be getting a clean car.

jookiyaya 09-20-2009 08:02 AM

yeah definately, I was a honda lover forEVER until just about a month ago.

my mods in the past were the 6th generation civic, 99 ex and 00 SI
and the last production of the 2001 integra type R.
i think i spent over 10k converting the acura into a honda integra type R.

ever since i got my 370z, its such a different experience. my boss and i talk about his s2k all the time, i remember we used to roll down artesia blvd in orange county, cali in my type R and his s2k and just flooring it, *sigh* memorrriesss*

zulus370Z 09-20-2009 05:02 PM

good luck on the sale. I think your best bet would be to take off most of the perfomance parts and sell them separately- and recoup some of the money spent.

I had an RSX-s ( same motor) with the same turbo kit and it was a beast... but I did get the hondata K-pro stand alone. E-manage is straight garbage and its by far the weakest spot on your car- holding you down big time.... a second, and close weak link are your injectors.... i'm surprissed you got 260 whp with those injectors....

So if anyone is thinking about picking this up, the motor is stout! and the car, with that turbo, Kpro, injectors and a tune is a beast and will destroy any 370Z with all bolt ons ( less FI)

My rsx would kill my roomates 03 Cobra when starting a 40mph+ and would hang toe to tow with modded 03 cobras... I may even post up some vidz if i'm not too lazy... and that was at a little over 300 whp and methanol injection to help the 550cc maxed out injectors.

Good luck on the sale!

The kit's held up well over the year and a half that I've had it so far. It's gone through about 12k miles of travel. It's still fiberglass, so don't expect it to have much give or take like your stock bumper does.

Anyways, I'm giving up. I've taken my listings down on all the other forums. I might just keep it for a while longer or part it out. Not sure yet. :driving:

k20z3 09-21-2009 06:05 PM

**** dude I've seen your car on 8th gen good luck selling man beautiful car
