Turbo FTW. So much fine to drive. I haven't gotten it fully tuned yet tho. I'm trying to get ahold of this legendary tuner in Jax, but no luck so far. lol.
Any future plans of FI?
Of course the damn stage II comptech comes out a freakin' week after I install the turbo. They've been talking about it coming out "REAL SOON" starting in 2007 so I gave up on that shiz. lol.

well i REALLY want to do the comptech s/c, and i just recently got a promotion in my job so i'm thinking hard about it. this year i've just been focusing on handling next year i'm debating on braking or i/h/e and i think the s/c might be the year after. i wish i could get my parts as cheap as you cause the CAN $ is killing me.

I was reading about superchargers vs. turbos for the Civic. And one school of thought is that turbos are the way to go, because superchargers work better on torquier, large-displacement motors. If you're imposing a load on the little 2.0L engine--one which doesn't really start making power until it gets way up in the rev range--it's kind of like an unnecessarily taxing & inefficient way to make power. In theory, a turbo--which works best with a high-spooling, rev-happy motor--should be the better way to go. In some peoples' opinions anyway... *shrugs*

Doors look great, btw!

so which one is more reliable turbo or s/c cause I'm not looking for the most power just don't want to have to buy a new motor or something in a few years.

I'll upload a few pics I took yesterday... I still don't have everything back in, even though I'm working on the car pretty much every day... it's seriously starting to concern me :(
I'm realizing now that I definitely bit off more than I could chew this winter!

Dude your car is looking hella sweet, great choices on all your mods - very tasteful and clean looking.

I can't wait to get my car out of storage :( It's looking like it won't be until the last week of April. Money was pretty tight this year, but I still have a few small mods to do before it comes out :)
