2023 Civic Sport Touring | Aspiring Mugen Build

[Chilly613]

I'm not sure of exactly how I want to build my car, but I'm kind of leaning towards something similar to the Mugen Civic Hatchback but with my own twist.

So far I have the following mods/upgrade:

Tinted Windows
Black OEM Badging
Gram Lights 57DR 18X8.5 +37, Yokohama Avid Ascend GT 225/45R18
Round CTR Shift Knob, but may change to the tear drop shaped shift knob.

I have a a chrome delete and yellow fog light vinyl that I'm wanting to install next, but waiting for it to get a little warmer.

I do also have a KTuner V2 that I kept from my 10th Gen Civic, but I think I'm gonna keep it as is for now as I'm having fun with the stock power and drivetrain.

The day I bought the car.

Progress so far:

Oh wow, you managed to get a Hatch ST 6MT. Did you have to wait a long time to get one in? Any mark up over MSPR?

Edit: Also, would you mind taking more photos of your car, please? The bronze on white is a great look that I'm thinking of doing.

I also see you downsized from 235's to 225's. Any reason? Fuel economy benefits? Has the handling changed?

It probably took me maybe a month to find the car. Most dealers in my area only had it in Sonic Pearl Grey. I got lucky going into the dealer to try and reserve one and they had gotten that the day before.

There was a markup with dealer installed accessories, but was able to have them price match another dealer’s pricing that was way lower.

I’ll try to take more pictures, but I normally don’t unless I’m modifying or changing anything.

The downsize wasn’t intentional, I had those wheels and tires previously on my 10th Gen Civic. The wheels are 1/2” wider than the stock 18” wheels, but haven’t noticed much of a change in handling or fuel economy. I plan on getting new tires eventually, but that’s what was on the wheels and they’re still pretty new.

Literally says I have a chrome delete, just waiting for it to be a little warmer, but I'll keep it in mind lol

Got the tear drop Type R shift knob today and definitely like it a lot more than the round one.

Got a new shift boot coming too so it matches a bit better.
