i'm not sure what i want out of the car.
If the civic ex coupe gets a turbo kit out by this summer, and it proves itself reliable and powerful... being able to get into the 13's.. then i'm down with it.
Otherwise, this winter i'm saving up and buying a bare block and head from the SI and ordering custom pistons and rods (forged) and doing my own fabricated turbo kit with k-pro or aem ems.
It sometimes pays to work at a dealership.. cuz I can get the bare block and head for REAL cheap
