keepin' the ol' girl

talked with the credit union. looks like i'll be able to refinance afterall. be paying much less, or the same payment but 2 years less time.
thats kickass. i was already starting to save for a down payment cuz i thought i'd have to get another car to make my money worth it. i was thinking about getting a '04 Si. but now i can just keep my EX and deck it out. i like the coupe body style better than the EP3 hatch anyway... though it was growing on me.

so now i gotta decide, boost or k20a2 swap? i'm leaning towards boost.

Boost or Swap on ex?

that blower is REALLY gettin to you huh....

keep in mind, boosting a D17 will give you MAD torque and you get that lovely psshhhhh sound. BUT, its still not perfect. THe engine swap would probably be more "secure" or somethin and would the rev-happy torqueless wonder (well real torquey compared to us stock). its your choice on what you want.

I'd go swap too. But if you go k20, get the Type-R engine. Make sure its the JDM one though, Australia has a Type-R Integra thats pretty much a Type-S RSX.
