no there isn't.

***DSchrag*** · 11-30-2006, 04:13 PM

Of course there is, but if you want real power you're looking at FI and an increase in price which, if you can't afford a SI then you're in no place to start tinkering with the hassle and cost of getting faster.

That being said, faster is not always the best route, anyway. If you start small with a short shifter, sway bars, etc. you'll achieve a lower cost upgrade in performance which won't cause the car to gobble up permium at the pump.

The CAI is a good start, and i installed Si sways on front
and rear which definetly improved performance. After that
comes turbos and shit which run your bank account into the
ground. If anyone makes a race header to remove them ***
2-bed cats inside thatll free up some HP for sure. Then using
a 2.25" pipe for your exhaust system if you go the turbo route
will help.

I also read on Hondamagazine that the Si or Civic for that matter
for 2006 was scarce for aftermarket support. Seems the FIT
was the big thing this year?

thats just tarded!!!

Considering the Jazz has been all the rage everywhere except the US for the past few years, the aftermarket support is already existant.

Believe me, 14 months ago when I first picked up my 8th, THAT was scarce for support. I goggle at my options these days, considering it's only been a short while.

im aware that stuff has already hit the market but i figured
that SEMA would have gone ape-shit over the SI's atleast?

im sure we'll see more come out yet from other vendors anyhow
i just found it odd ,that all?

^They did last year. The new Civic was the featured car at SEMA for 2005. For the 2006 show, the feature cars were the Fit, Yaris & Versa, hence all the tuners consentrating on those cars instead of the Civic again.

Strap a rocket on top your hood and push the button

you can always turn your speedo to km/h and bam your goin almost twice as fast

aznchzexr · 11-30-2006, 06:29 PM

r18, k20 either way, u want your car to go faster , u need $$ to do it bottom line.

if you couldn't afford the SI, then u can't afford to go fast lol ...well right now ne ways.

***OMGWTFBBQIMDEREK*** · 11-30-2006, 06:40 PM

Well.. I'd suggest looking into bolt ons maybe? I/H/E? Don't know if there are that many options for the R18.. but its a thought.. but I somewhat agree with the majority of the people in here.. if you have enough money to get a turbo from AJP when they release it for the R18.. you could have bought a Si.. but bolt ons aren't going to be cheap either way.. I also think this is the wrong forum.. isn't this a forum for FI and NO2? But yeah.. good luck in your search
