2003 SI - 2003 Ex = $3,799
So i went to see how muhc i'd get on a trade in, for a 2003 blue Civic Si with 27,000 miles on it. In near perfect condition. And after trading in my 03 ex with 50,000 i was looking at 3,799 out the door cost.
Thats with the Si costing 13,799. Soes that seem like a good deal? every where i look it's always atleast 1.5k more for something with more miles.
I know the motor is much eaier to get Hp out of. Is 190 doable with Basic mods?
I know nothing about this motor.

190 N/A is doable absolutley. Take a look at ephatch.com There is a guy named Raz selling "Raz cams," and without a full blown tune they were making almost 200 hp with I/H/E and kpro. If you're going boost and want big numbers, the number one killer of the A3 is crankwalk, so watch out for that. =)

Rep Power: 812 i/h/e/hondata is good for another 20whp. you start at 140, 160 is very easy, 180 gets more expensive, and 200 lots of engine work and tuning.

Rep Power: 0 The one I test drove has A neuspeed air intake in it. IT was a nice tone, and only loud when i floored it. Beautiful car. The worst thing is a new shop is opening up right behind my house. And i mean right behind my house. We share a backyard. "Street legal customs". If i get an Si i have a feeling i'm going to have to take a part time job there to be able to afford all the stuff i'm going to buy from them.
I'm buying a 03 Si from a Ford dealer for 13,900 with 27,00 miles on it. But it's not certified. The dealer said that they could send it to Honda for me to get it certified. So i have 3 questions
1, is it worth 800 bucks to get the extra warranty?
2, Will they certifie the car if it doesn't have the stock airbox? this car comes with a neuspeed intake.
3, is it worth certifing it if i plan to do bolt on mods such as I/H/E, will this Void my power train warranty?
Any help would be great. I'm really looking forward to driving a Si
Oh one last thing. Is the insurance going to be a lot more for an Si then a 2dr Ex. I have a 03 2dr Ex right now. And i was thinking i would be paying a little more, but i don't know how much. I would just like an idea before i call up the insurance company monday.

Rep Power: 432 It's just not worth getting extram warranty, If you are planning to mod.
Sounds like you are planning to do.
I/H/E will not void warranty, unless they have caused problem.
My insurance only went up $15-20 every month, from 02 Ex to 03 SI.
It's different for each company and drivers, so double check on that.
But it's not much of differences.
