$3000...what should i do?

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 09:25 PM

OK guys, im not very aftermarket savvy. But i have an 07 si sedan w/navi. I love this car. I was gonna get the TRD supercharger for my Xrunner, but id have to save more money and i dont want to wait. AND I only put 8k miles on it in 2.5 years. So its almost brand new. I hardly ever drive it. So i think it would be more fun for me to put the money in my civic. I just want more. It has 49k miles, mostly highway, and i have 3000 dollars saved up from this last deployment. What should i do? I was thinking a supercharger for reliability purposes... but i am DEF open to any suggestions! Please help! I dont wanna f*ck up a good opportunity! ALSO i have someone who can install just about anything at the autoshop on base for cheap...

buy something from my part out

rickhilbert · 07-02-2009, 09:27 PM

How much do you owe on the car?

***skinsfn36*** · 07-02-2009, 09:27 PM

Save a little more, and get either the FR or SRT turbo kit

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 09:36 PM

What do you have?

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 09:37 PM

I only owe around 8000 on the si, and 12000ish on the truck. I bought them within 2 months of eachother because i couldn't make up my mind

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 09:39 PM

FR? And when i hear srt i think of dodge.... I am at the beginning of my research but honestly, i dont know what the hell im loking at when i surf the web at parts. Si i guess thats where imk asking you guys to come in.

***obert*** · 07-02-2009, 09:55 PM

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 09:59 PM

I was given an idea about a cai exhaust header setup with a hondata reflash... but i dont want a check engine light because my car wont pass a va inspection which is where im from and will end up eventually... what do u guys think on that setup?

lovecheese · 07-02-2009, 10:00 PM

Pay off the car.

Way2Short · 07-02-2009, 10:01 PM

If you want more info on a supercharger, a guy in Oklahoma City had one. He can tell you about it. I know because I'm from OK too.

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 10:03 PM

so where do i find this guy in oklahoma city with the s/c...lol

sisosyk · 07-02-2009, 10:07 PM

Good idea, but im not done being young and stupid yet, give me a few more years

Way2Short · 07-02-2009, 10:10 PM

He's in the OKC thread. He doesn't have it anymore.

SiConvert887 · 07-02-2009, 10:20 PM

You could save a little more for a Swift Racing Technologies turbo kit or for a little more of a cheaper plug and play solution go for stage 2 CTSC or JRSC.

You could look into a Full-Race turbo kit that should be released sometime in the near future as well.

If you go turbo you're gonna have to be ready to pony up some serious cash though. A heck of a lot more than 3k.

If I boost the civic it will likely be an SC simply because it would take me far too long to save up for a turbo.
