Its like the new pinnacle of JDM 31337-ness, its only a matter of time before there will be "5.03" decals right next to the "TypeR" and "VTEC" decals now, j/k

anyone who says sell or save again is getting bad rep. I just ask an opinion on what to do with the car. Not my life. Money is going in to it that is my FINAL ANSWER!

Alright then...
high compression & boost you know is a bad combination. Just ask joedc5, that's how the poor guy blew his itr.
Then again, alot of k20a2 owners are making up to 450hp on their stock block, what's that extra .5 difference.
Honestly, since you got an itr, I'd probably go all motor, and since you're already looking into TODA, get their head package and their itb's.
There you have it buddy.

Rep Power: 465 Why not save $18g instead of just 10? That money could come in handy later. I mean, if you invested that money wisely, you could make it into major cash. Rather than just sinking it into a car...
If you do anything, do something cheaper along the lines of what you want with the car... turbo for speed, or whatever for looks. I wouldn't pump more than like 3k into a car though, ever.

Rep Power: 294 I think you will have traction problems now... 
I would honestly go a differrent car or even a bike, but if u really want to stick it to the vic, go N/A. reason is that a turbo will make gobs of torque, and while we all like torque, a FWD car is going to have problem with that. N/A will give you lots of topend, you probably will not have the tractions problems you will have with turbo. But you could get a progressive boost control and ignition control system to tone odwn the power in the beggining.

Rep Power: 266 Yea..the intelligent answer would be not to dump 8K into a depreciating asset. Especially a civic.
Man..buy a bike or a boat or something. Take a trip to the caribbean or Fiji or something.
It makes no sense to have 8K fun $$ when you're 23.
