Yo :wavey: , Im new here on NICO, i got a 2.5s a/c with cvt. The biggest mod ive done so far is installing my GReddy Ti-c exhaust, which im very pleased with. But now im wondering what other mods any of you guys advice me to do next :confused: ? Yea i know cvt maybe wasnt the best choice especially on a 2.5 but ive looked around and some of you guys have done some good shxt on your coupes. Thanks

It drops the center of gravity and tightens it up on the turns. Well worth it, plus looks good.

I have the Greddy Spectrum Elite exhaust system. It hangs low and scrapes a bit over speed bumps etc. Fixed by welding on a skit plate to the exhaust. You shouldn't have any issues though.

MOAR HP. Not more HP. There's a difference between more Hp and MOAR HP. More HP means you get extra power. MOAR HP means you can brag about it to the Honda Civic kids since their cars are uglier and still slower than you regardless.

congrats on the greddy exhaust & welcome

one of the first mods i did was drop the car on eibachs... makes a big difference & i dont think that you will have that much of a scraping problem...

slap on a ton of stickers! everyone knows that 1 sticker = +20whp!!

on a more serious note, the drop is awesome! i've been on springs for a month now and have been lucky enough to find a bc racing coils donor, so i'll be having those installed shortly. but the rear sway bar is an awesome investment too. oh, and get some rims :D

Lots and lots of stickers = lots and lots of hp
and definitely a drop on coils or eibachs.

well if it makes you feel better you won't scrape unless u fly over pot holes and go over curbs lol. Our cars are horribly high if anything the eibachs should have come stock on it. I have compared my car "dropped on springs" to a bmw 3 series and if there right next to eachother my car was still higher after springs lol. But I agree deff next best mod you will feel anamazing diff in handling

both lol um overall though i love the splitter bc no one has it imo why i got it hahahaha and thanks dude i appreciate it :mike :mike pm me if you ever have any questions

i just reread the thread i forgot which one this was lol. But if your worried about scraping the splitter is sick bc it liek protects your bumper like i bottomed out one day and i bent the splitter but no damage was done to the bumper. Still not sure how lol. But noones tried this yet and ive been to busy to see but i wanna try to fit the lip with the splitter. After installing both "splitter on mine and lip on matts" i noticed youll need to deff mod the splitter to fit but this also will deff put you lower than you want.

oh and splitter costs 225 and you can install it yourself and it doesnt need paint the lip will be whatever it costs plus paint which sucks. Paint is a b**** to pay for hahhaa

hope that helped :mike :mike

Welcome to the club! No it doesnt... but I had to quote you lol.

We have lots of Niconauts in AZ!

Watch the quality of information and who you get it from... Phenom likes to go with the "ill be the guinea pig" method.... It doesnt always work out lol.

The splitter will not work with the lip. If you want a splitter real bad, get the lip, then get some garage door sealer (the bottom black plastic) and cut to fit.



Phenoms got a sticker covered splitter, with 2 broken rusted brackets hanging off it... But still best in class for "unfinished" at nopi lol!

still eibach drop is basically necessary just to look stock like any other car. if you are planning on every gettin rims you need to drop first. otherwise it looks goof as hell. and although it would be awesome if it gave more whp somehow, it doesn't. haha and phenom you cant fit the splitter on the stillen fascia or the stillen lip. go back to your sword fighting!
