Looks good. Any beefing up done to the engine for the nitrous? Also any new pics of your car? Any other mods done recently? Do you think the remap from zakie was worth it, because in the near future I want to get my Accord done by him. |

Only M4UGR8 could do this, 1st active NOS fired and engine sustained in delhi atleast by me. All the myth's of NOS being dangerous were cleared. Great step buddy, You are a trend setter for sure. |

How are you controlling the fuelling and ignition with nitrous? Has the block been worked-on in any way? I ask because nitrous is a time-bomb and a stock block will not survive if it's juiced regularly. Also, search for Honda R18 cracked block in Google. If nothing else, just get a block guard there to stop the sleeves from walking. |

Removed the Eibach Springs, now running stock springs. The Ride quality is now much better. no more scrpaing speedbreakers :D Best part being that this current suspension setup does not bottom out anywhere compared to the OE one which was horrible. |

All what was required run this kit was successfully done and taken care of by the installer at Speedsport. Small stuff here and there, nothing major worth uploading. Well honestly I would suggest going in for a programable ECU like an RD or Hondata instead of the remap, gives you more flexibility and tuning options in the future. . |

Hey there, your car is one of a kind. Very tastefully done, congrats! :thumbs up Regarding your suspension, did you simply remove the Eibach springs and installed the original spring back? You still have the Koni suspension yet right? Can you share the pricing of the same? I had enquired with Pete regarding the suspension but they don't have it in stock for the Civic. How is the ride quality in the city with the Koni's? Thanks |

And what about your suspension? How do you find the stock springs on Koni Yellows? Is that worth it or would a set of coilovers be better? Whats your opinion. |

That is being controlled by a Race dynamics unit. |

That means you got rid of Zakie's remap, took the car back to stock tune and then installed the Race Dynamics? Can I please request you for a complete review of either (especially since you used the remap for over a year)? I wasn't aware that Race Dynamics has already released a new gen box for the Civic. Are these Koni FSDs? So the only current modification to your suspension - currently - are the Koni dampers? |

I dont think those are FSDs but they are Koni Yellow Adjustables which you can manually adjust for a soft or firm shock. |

Thank You, Yes I have removed the Eibach springs, running Koni suspension and stock springs for stock ride height, Petes does not have anything for the Civic, If i remember correctly, Eibach Springs costed me close to 13000/- for the set. Koni Suspension costed me close to 36000/- for a set of complete four shocks, I find the ride quality to better on my 17" compared to the stock setup. They are adjustable you can adjust them to your liking, the best part is that they never bottom out no matter what. The stock setup in the civic is very soft and they bottom out on almost every pot hole and with the 17" what I was running, the problem was worse. Honestly I have never driven or even had an experience in a car running coil-over suspension, but yes compared to the stock the Koni yellows are much much better, specially if you have bigger rims, Koni adopt to it much better. |

No not FSDs, they are expensive. I am running adjustable Yellow shocks front and rear. Yes running only Koni Dampers, Eibach springs I have removed. its not feasible to change your car everytime you wanna go to a mall?? :D Yup, The top mount has a screw which you can adjust for firm or soft according to your need. |

but like I said when spending the same sort of money, 30k for the remap and same for the RD ECU, the RD or something similar makes much more sense. |
One my friends is using a RD ECU on his current generation Honda City, with real time tuning and data logging, RD was able to shave-off 1.5 seconds easy from his 0-100 Timings. |

You make a valid point. I'm still to decide between the two. |

So you mean the RD Box will drop FE? Not that I care, but how much? Also, what's the average power gain (in %) that one can expect from RD. |
