TTQ B4U Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have a buddy at work that just bought a new Civic Si Sedan and is looking to learn more about modding them. Nothing crazy, but if there's a shop that provides reliable flashes or tunes, CAI, Exhaust work, he's looking to start moving on it. Who's the best for such things?

V8 Beast Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Check with Slow Motion. They know thier stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I would suggest just doing online research for bolt on stuff, then get it tuned by someone who knows Hondas (from what I hear, slomo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasser-Hanbali Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 slowmotion=Gods with hondas, not only in columbus but in general there work is top notch and they will point him in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiColin Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 For bolt ons I would just install them yourself. Don't let the lack of room in the engine bay scare you its really an easy motor to work on. As far as ecu reflashes, I would recommend hondata kpro. Its a little pricey but its the best as far as tuning goes. For tuning i've only have good things to say about Slowmotion Motorsports, they tuned all my setups ranging from N/A to built motor turbo. I even have had a block and head built by them recently and couldn't be more happy with the work. Great group of guys that are very helpful with any questions you have.

It has a ton of available maps and I believe you can get custom ones added as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 SloMo it is then Thanks everyone. I'll point him their way and perhaps stop in with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ef8sirJunkie Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 06+ civics cant use Kpro they use Flash pro witch is a cable to flash it. Also Flash pro isnt as advanced then Kpro is. Also Cobb came out with an option for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 All he needs are rims and a body kit and he'll be set. Screw messing with ECU flashes or anything that goes fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Why mod a Civic? The new Si's are actually really nice Daily Drivers. He just wants to put a few minor mods to make it a bit better than stock. Nothing rice or crazy. Why not really. http://www.ohiohondas.com Hopefully Slowmo will be better to him than they were to me. +1 for my experience too. I would ask that both of you PM me with details. I don't want my thread to go to the shitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
