I don't know about you guys, but I am just disgusted that there ain't jack for our cars. Rims, and a radio don't count. These companies need to get it together. The pics in the gallery showing the "Show" Si are cool, but we can't even get a quarter of the crap.

Spoon? Over priced with some chinese written on it.
Mugen? Same thing.

Sorry, just a little irked today.

So, then by your statement, you have found parts? Where? Everysite that I go to, doesn't even have a listing for our Si. Help me out bro's. Thank you in advance.

And yes, I realize that Spoon is Japanese. I told you I was pissed.

Perhaps we should have a section in this site that lists what parts are available for the EP. 7thgencivic does it. I think that'd be a good idea. Especially while things are just getting started...

OOH! Like the great Smoky Robinson said... I second that e- motion.

Definately a sound idea.

The reason that there's hardly any parts for our cars yet is because it is all new AND in limited quantity. Our Civic is not like ther previous Si which is the same body as all the other coupes.

I seriously doubt that there will be a huge aftermarket for our cars but rest assurred knowing that there WILL be a very nice one.

It took the RSX quite some time to develope their aftermarket support and it is still growing.

There's also going to be aftermarket support from the UK (since EP's are made there including the CTR) which is a good thing.


Just watch...

yeah, i actually know what you mean. no options right now!!! but it's cool give it a few months. why don't you go with mods like rims or hids in the meantime. that's what i'm doing. i will get rims and hopefully dc will come out with there exhaust in a month then i will finally have exhaust. awoohoo.

Patience, patience, patience. :cool:

I got my car in early May, and it's amazing how many parts have come out since. Lot's of places have them or can get them. In no time there will be tons of stuff, just need to be patient.

Here's a place to start:

Get parts for base RSX. They should fit. Intakes for RSX Type-S as the Si has the same intake manifold. I'm not sure about the AEM cai though.

Ps. You're asking for too much. The Si came out a year after the RSX and already you have I/H/E (cause they are finally available for us). Celicas after what, theree years of production? They have only one company making headers for them. We already have two (HP and Comptech).

I agree. Although my patience I believe will be rewarded as the economy pics up, more items will be available and I will be in a better position to liquidate the thou$ands of dollars that it's going to cost to make my ride what I want. Hell I'm still breaking it in. So enjoy your ride and good things will come:D !

dc sports has headers for our car now, they're only waiting for the carb exempt #.

i'm planning to get mine as soon as they are in stock.
ANYONE WANT TO DO A GROUP BUY??

eibach also has springs: prokit or sportline . i'm getting sportlines when Element Performance's distributor has them in stock (sometime this month). Group buy anyone?

AEM CAI/Thermal Exhaust/JDM Parts also available too

FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME at lala@elementperformance.com FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

sure. but we don't know the price until our distributor gets them in stock so they know how much they are and we can talk to a sales rep to work everything out. bigger the discount with the more sales.
so if u're interested. leave a note so i can get a head count.
we can also get eibach,ground control, aem from this same distributor, so those are also included in the group buy

I WILL KEEP YA'll UPDATED

Why do you guys have to be rude and scare away the few girls we have on here? It's like you've never seen a female before. Make them feel welcome...please.

I don't know if this is any help to you lot or not, but.... Over here in the UK, for those people who can't afford the Type R, or the insurance of a Type R, they are bringing out the Civic Sport model (which is the exact equivilant to your SI model). What Honda UK are doing though is offering Civic Sport owners the chance to purchase Type R lookalike body kits i.e skirts, bumpers and spoilers.. I've seen piccys of it, and the front bumper and side skirts look the same (apart from saying "Sport" on them), but the rear spoiler does'nt look like the Type R one i'm afraid.. Anyway, reason i mention it is because i'm sure that your US Honda dealers MUST have contacts to import the parts from the UK... If not, then contact Honda UK yourselves... I'm 100% sure that you'll beable to ship the parts over easily!! Maybe costly, but just think how much yours would stand out more than anyone elses;)

Anyway.. Heres a link to a UK auto magazine that has a brief article on it..

Hope that helps!
