1. why keep it when i can make money off of it? the added money from it can either lower my car payments significantly or go towards things i have planned for it.

2. no one knows for sure if it will directly bolt on and i don't feel like giving up my car for couple days to find out if it does ... even if at the end it does fit flawlessly ... boost be it turbo or supercharger is not in my immediate plans.

3. the FA5 ECM IMO is different from that of the FG2 ... remember it has VSA ... so a boost tune may have to be different and so on ... i'm not too sure of this but i wasn't willing to find out either ...

4. if u had noticed i was getting tired of the exhaust noise from the car and wanted it to be quiet ... i can deal with some quiet for a while with the fa5 while i do other things to it ...

5. wait till the pics are revealed ... u'll see why nothing else maters right now

the stock conversion has started ... my car looks like crap with stock headlights!!!!!! buddy club condenser gone.

stereo comes out really soon ... alarm as well ... the the whole turbo kit and it FA5 FTW ...

trade in value = 18xxx i was told by the guy at the dealership today if my car is clean ... which it is ... and my mileage is extremely low .... 16, 500

Welcome to the FA5 squad Sickyute!! Get the NBP.. It's by far the best color for the SI sedan.

Welllllllll...when i was at the dealership they had three FA5s on the lot: GG, NBP, and TW....I got the NBP because it had the least milage and it was in the showroom, so it took less abuse than the others. BUT, I was eyeing that TW like white is an amazing color on hondas IMO, especially on Honda sedans.

Once you go white you never go back? haha Gotta represent the Taffeta, Marvie. You won't regret it if you do. Forget that crazy Jeep idea!
