V-tec or TURB0

I bought an LX coupe for 14k. The EX costs $3000 more. Do you guys think it worths to get an EX instead of an LX. I know the V-Tec on a EX isn't as powerful as the the one in SI and it only gives you 12hp more. Would you use the 3 thousand dollars on the aftermarket turb0? Just wondering...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

go with the turb0, the lx is lower compressed, thus better for a turb0, and it's not a hard choice, very obvious.. 3000 for 12 more hp? or 3200 for 60hp?

got this word baning game is pissing me off!

If you really want a fast car with turb0, you should decide on a 300ZX twin turb0, or a Supra Turb0, maybe even a 96 MR2 Turb0. That way with those models you do not have to spend money on mods to go faster just money on looks. I also like the looks of the Supra and MR2. Anyone else with a opinion ??

Why can't we type TURB0 with the O????
By the way, people say it's not good to use Turb0 with V-Tec. Is it true?

I would have to go with the V-TECH power
12HP is alot dont under estimate the power of V-TECH dude
and who said V-TECH is not powerful on the EX?
V-TECH should make you fly like a motha fvcker



haha jk


IMO go with the Turb0 its more bang for the buck(if thats what you want)

If you guys gotta choose one more time, would you buy EX or LX? Or buy an LX and use the money (Less than 3000) to fix it up nice. Oh...one more thing. do you have the same situation that people driving a subaru or whatever always try to push you or speed up rite next to you on purpose? I mean WTF? They paid hella more for their ride like double price of our civics. You see how they react through the window?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

I went for the EX because I wanted the Anti-Lock brakes... the vtec was just an added bonus.

I also mainly chose the Ex because of the added aminities like side airbags, cruise control power windows and locks, but most importantly SUNROOF!

I had a 93 mr2. I loved that car it looked great and it was a lot of fun to drive. I didnt get the turbo because I was 19 and the insurance was just crazy period.

As someone said earlier Ex is more goodies besides the VTEC engine. Also screw turbo and get another car, it ain't worth it with this one.

The Ex is 76 pounds heavier. I don't think a sunroof weight 76 pounds.
