Anyone Know What This Is
Newbie here. I have a 300ZX and hoping to get a civic soon. N E way I was on E-bay and I saw this for the Z. Its an electric turbo charger. WTF is that. N E one ever hear of this. It seems too good to be true for that price.
K about this civic...i dunno which trim to get. People tell me go for lx cause u can do more to the engine. I ask like what and they cant tell me n e thing. Then theres the ex. v-tec nuff said. But so is the Si. So should I juss go all out and get the Si or use the left over money to hook up an lx?

Rep Power: 374 OK get the Ex because you can do more to that and more is available and as for the SI you get more power but i think it looks like a small Oddessy but thats my opinion.....but its your money whoever told you you can do more with an LX was wrong.....more with EX but again not much

As far as what civic to get, it depends: what kind of price can you get on an Si? If you can get it at 18.5K or lower, I would go for that. If not, you're better off getting an EX or LX and doing some mods. Be warned: the LX has far less available bolt-on mods that the EX does.
btw, what year is your Z? I used to have an '85.

Rep Power: 0 i would go with the SI. a lot more crap is available for it. there is a lot of stuff available for the EX but it still wont even bring in 20 more horsies. but if i were you, i would go for the rsx-s. i test drove that bad boy and it rocked!

Rep Power: 0 here it is in simple terms...
the civics...IMO...have great handling compared to the RSX-S. engine wise, the RSX-S is the way to go if u got the bread for it. just speakin about civics alone.... i own an LX. since i have bought it, i have done a number of mods, but the 3 that bring it to a nice spot without out too much money and altering, are the aftermarket intake...SRI or CAI, the HP Race Header w/ hi-flow cat, and the aftermarket catback. now wut i did was a full EX trim conversion on my exhaust system. since this mod, i have been able to beat any trim 01-02 civic, with the exception of the new SI hatch. the header itself gave my car a good 5-10 hp at the wheels. i have been able to actually take off from and pull away from either EX sedans and coupes. i kid you not... so when it comes down to it, it only takes a few mods to be able to come up to status with the VTEC. not a big deal in my opinion, but if u have the few thousand bucks laying around to spend on a sunroof, and vtec...then cool, and enjoy. otherwise save ur cash for ur car mods and just go with the LX trim.
