Alright. I'm stuck and I need some opinions and whatnot from you guys.

I'm thinking of trading in my 01 EX on an 04 Si. The problem is I don't really know if I should and if it's really worth it or not. I'm going to go talk to my local dealer and see if I can even work out a deal with them to start off with. I drove by the other day and they have a ton of 04s sitting there.

My car currently looks like this:



The pictures are a bit old. I lost the altezzas and the splash guards.

Exterior:
- Cleared headlights
- TenzoR Passion5 17" rims

Engine:
- AEM SRI
- DC TCS catback exhaust

Suspension
- Goldline lowering springs

ICE
- Pioneer Premiere DEX-P1R
- MTX 4ch amp
- Pioneer replacement rear speakers (can't remember what they are)

I'm just wondering if it'll be worthwhile to even think about getting an Si. Sure, I'll get the K20 and everything, but then I get that damned egg shape until I can get some money to start customizing it again.

What would you do?

I doubt you'll like the Si coming from the civic you have now. It's an ugly car unless modded alot. I hope you're not getting it because it's faster. Just save some money and turbo your civic.

I sure don't miss my 02 ex.

Well, after visiting the dealer and talking numbers, I've decided that I'm not going to get an Si. lease:

Got a quote on the trade for my car, and the dealer only wants to give me $9000. The payoff on my car is $10,200 or so. So I'm still $1200 short. I was told they could find the money if I was really serious. I was also offered 2.9% for 60 months, which wouldn't have been a bad deal, and my payments would have been right around the same. I've only got 2 and a half years left on the loan on my current car, so that's not so bad. I don't really want to be paying on a car for another 5 years. I'd like to move out sometime. imp:

Don't get me wrong, I *loved* driving the Si. Nice power all the way through to redline, very nice suspension, comfy interior. Everything was gravy. As much fun as all that would have been, I think I'm just better off sticking with what I'm working with and probably just slapping a turbo on it.

I've decided that I'm *not* going to the the EP3. I don't think the benefits actually outweigh keeping my current car.

Buddy of mine also has an EP3, but he trashed the hell out of it. He got one of those babyshit green ones on a closeout a few years ago and has since pretty much destroyed it visually. Keep an eye out for him over @ ephatch. Goes by the name of VaSi.

Yeah. I really liked the Si, but I don't really feel like car payments for another 5 years. I'll just continue the work on my car with a turbo and whatnot and just have some fun with it.

BTW - Thanks for the comments on the sig.
