1) No

2) Do a K20 swap and then you'll have a 4 door RSX-S! Oh wait, you have an auto. Well, do a K20 AND a tranny swap!!!

You are worried more about a stupid car than having a great family with the beauty of a new child being brought into this world? Yea, that sounds like loser material to me. Get your priorities straight. You make it sound as if they are a burden to you.

Woa there, my family is in no way a burden.Playing with cars is a hobby which is why I chose not to get the faster sports car.So that I could get everything my family needs.My family is my life.And if you don't beleive me tell that to the daughter I lost last october.Her ashes still sit on my fire place,and the memory of me holding her lifeless body for 3 hours in a hospital rocking chair still burn strong!!!! she died 3 weeks before she was to be born.And my wife had to deliver her body the day after we found out we lost her!

That is horrible. I'm glad to see you do have your priorities straight. It just sounded like you didn't care in your first post.

BTW, I suggest turbo for your car.

Want my two cents. Keep the car stock so you can get better resale later. Anything that'll make your car significantly faster, and i don't mean I/H/E, will cost ya and I think it'll be cheaper to just get a faster car, later. You have a ride, and a family. Thats a lot more than some people who call themselves winners. Stock auto civics aren't bad at all, especially for city driving.

yeah thats what I'm thinking.Kepp most of the outside stock and nice and clean except maybe some nice enkei DM5 rims a VIS carbon hood,and then maybe shave the rear door handle and rain gutters.

And i'll upgrade the suspension a lil then go nuts on the engine =).Hopefully they come out with some nice goodies for out valvetrain so we can make some real bulletproof engines =) boost boost baby!

the only qiestion i have is I know that hen you go turbo its a good idea to have a much better flowing exhaust because of all the high temp gasses from the turbo,but how do I get around the damn header/cat combo on my LX,I know it's illegal to remove it or is it?
