Hey Rob,
I know from Eric you guys are insanely busy so take your time if need be, I
wouldn't be getting anything done untill late october anyhow. But.. Given,
new pistons, new cams, Headers(I have the ULEV with dual cats) decked, and
ported heads...how much of a gain could be expected?. I would not assume
more than a 30-40HP gain would be feasable?,,
Cheers
Donald

dude.. like i dont wanna bash u or anything but seriously are u gonna be happy after all thats done?
ok after all that money u spend on it u would only be able to keep up with a lightly modified rsx-s
but if its heavy moded its pretty harsh and ur gonna kick yourself
u already got 4 grand saved up. it doesnt hurt much more if u wait till u save that 12,000 or the difference by then u could find another fast car that u can trade it for. hehe trust me i was all hard core on the civic but like i learned the hard way. its much better getting what u want rather than spend all this money and not be happy about it. like if ur down for getting that package go for it.
but i vouch for u to keep saving and get a better motor

Rep Power: 0 yes i agree with the rest of the board, the money is better spent elsewhere....i wouldnt even bother with a swap like boo said, im not crazy about the civic, dont get me wrong, love my car....but if im looking for speed i'll wait and get a better car and then mod it.....just my opinion though. i would be interested in looking at a 7thgen with a k20....thats about it though

Rep Power: 0 Thing is..my cars almost worthless as a trade-in because of the extensive interior modifications I've done.. The entire car is sound deadened and weighs about 290lbs over stock. I've put bazillions of hours into it allready. Getting a new car would just mean starting back from Scratch. I think I'm just gonna keep an alert at all local scrapyards for an SiR or RSX (s) engine, transmission and crossmember..I'd rather spend $4k on a cars engine than $2k on a body kit(kit paint and install) and another $2k on wings, Altezzas, projectors....
As Always there's tons of factors..
