Considering a trade for more power, handling is awesome though once suspension is upgraded.
Honda needs to produce more torque but keep it at 8k Rpms.

Honda is only good for reliability, but don't get me wrong, si is a lot of fun to drive.

LS on boost can be a fun setup but make sure you build it up right or you will run into problems down the line. Ever think of going all motor LS?

If you're looking for power, get wrx.

Ya my friend just got a 2008 WRX and it's a pretty sick car, but i need something with low maintenance costs/insurance. Plus gas is getting ridiculously expensive in socal, if i'm buying premium grade it needs to last

I used to be big into them but now to so much. I currently have a 90 EF sedan with a D16z6 from a EG SI. Awesome little car but still has some kinks that need to be worked out. I used to have an LS/VTEC Integra but the thing was a heap. I will always love them and will probably own a newer model in the future but Im really getting tired of all the problems that come with anything older than one made before 2000, to many kids tearing them up.
Exactly, my swap and work was all done by an adult who did not fuck it up BUT my pinouts are having issues due to wrong size and after three distributors my CKP issue is still not resolved (gotta be ecu or wiring related)
Kinda a pain, but fun as fuck when running tops

Ran into wiring issues with mine as well. Gotta get a whole new motor harness since the previous owner thought using crap wire to run VTEC was a good idea. Also found out my gasket where the header meets the head is almost non existent. Also found rust, trunk leaks, and I think my rings are on the way out. Oh well, paid less for the car than I will have to for a new motor. Gotta love Honda's.Exactly, my swap and work was all done by an adult who did not fuck it up BUT my pinouts are having issues due to wrong size and after three distributors my CKP issue is still not resolved (gotta be ecu or wiring related)

Wiring issues.. understatement.. yea.. fucking hell
So motor is solid, thought cam gear skipped a tooth but its a matter of the cam OBD2 Distributor on a Y8 Head with a VMS cam - Need a AEM cam.
And yea.. wiring.. SO - Put the new dizzy on, same issue, went and picked up a P28 ecu, had it soft loaded with a Y8 Basemap - Same issue.
Cut the electrical tape off my harness.. fucking mess.. probly gonna have to pay a shop to just rewire the entire car. On a side note.. Y8 Base map in my mini me is pretty sweet, better vtec kick in then on my tune, may just run the Y8 base map and tune it to my timing using a softloader.
Of course.. need to fix wiring first.

Although I might consider purchasing a lawnmower or one of those quiet generators they produce. Not a vehicle though.

So sick, i want a TW FA5 or ralleye red, but my friend has a red stang and is constantly getting pulled over so i'm leaning more towards white. What you got suspension wise?
