Object: Get aftermarket manufactures to make parts so everyone can hook up their future 12 Civic also. Build a street car, not a trailer queen!
Debut: Honda Booth - SEMA 2011
Key Features: 550hp (est.) on Stock K24, Widebody, clean styling.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone at Honda-Tech for letting me showcase this future build for all to see. It's an honor to be on the largest, and most knowledgeable site on the planet.

I ordered the car in July from my local dealer here in York. The car got built on Aug 4th, and I FINALLY received the car so I could work my magic. The Tsunami really slowed down production for Honda which I understand.

The 12 Civic Si on the upper deck of the car carrier ready to come down. Now, I'm starting to get excited!!!

A block down the street is Mugsy's Repair here in York, Pa. I wanted these guys to do all my mechanical work because Rick (who owns the place) is a 20 years Honda Gold Certified Tech. He knows all these cars like the back of his hand. They have been working on my fleet of cars since 2004 for me now.

First thing we did was put up on the lift and get all the stock brakes off the car. Then, we laid out the SSBC Big Brake Kit for the install. I choose a 13 inch 4 piston caliper for the front and a 12.2 rear BBK upgrade.

You can really see the difference just in the rotors from the factory.

Rick works on the rear 12.2 inch 2 piston upgrade on the rear while I take a shot.

The Front SSBC kit looks awesome!

Next, on the menu was to lower the SI. I worked with Road Magnet from Baltimore to make me a 1.3inch lowering spring till theYonaka new Coilovers are made for the car also. All about options here people.

We put the car down the ground to make sure we didn't have any clearance issues. I really LOVE how the car sits now, and the SSBC Big Brakes fit inside the factory wheel/tire set-up.

Before the car left Mugsy's Repair, I decided to slap on the flare to make sure I got the offset of the new Vossen Wheels CV3's right. We did a 20x10.5 (they where out of stock on 18, and 19x10.5) so we had to go this way. Mugsy's then mounted and balanced them for me with 255/30/20's all the way around. I need a wider tire in the front or it is just going to spin.

After we did some test fitting we put the stock wheels back on the car to dolley up to Croll's Customs in Reading, PA.

It took about 50 minutes from Mugsy's to drive up to Josh's shop in Reading. For the next month, it will be at paint and body folks!!!
