I thought hard about today and I decided it's best I don't put more money in this car. I now have a familiy to support and we need the money to put a down payment on house. I hate cars and I can't stand doing work on em anymore. this car was a problem since day 1 when I got from the dealer. Cluth burnt out in one month. Honda forgot to 1 of the springs in the clutch. They tried blaming me and my dad knowing about mechanics had them replace for free. There was a solid blue ring around the pressure plate. The guy honestly thought I drove the car with my foot on clutch everywhere . I was driving a standard GSX before the civic I think I wold know. Darn dealers. anyways it was a lemon to begin with so now I wish I didn't modify it I bought a 2000 Alero (oldsmobile) and I completly have a blast with it. It gets me from point A to point B without having to usea tow truck and evertime I get in and turn the key it starts. I am only 20years old but I am tired of the car thing. If I am gonna get a car I will get a BMW M3 or an EVO in the future( a car with a warranty and is already pretty quick).

Good idea man, civics are no good unless you keep em stock. Get a faster car to begin with and your set. Might wanna stay away from rsx-s you might end up in the same bought again.

I gotta wait till the auction is done on ebay, You need just the turbo or the whole kit? I have custom intercooler piping that will fit to the T in the o1 civic because the piping was made from scratch. The intercooler piping was expensive and I am using a tial wastegate with a 7lb spring and I have the 9lb spring I can just throw to you if I sold the kit. The kit I would sell for $5,100 with the Hondata K pro ECU (you will need i) immobilizer, key and matching transponder. The piping and custom kit was extremly expensive. The kit would sell to you would come with the custom downpipe too so this should be a drop in installation and then you have the K pro ecu to go get it tuned.

I responded to your question read on this post I forgot to quote it. Also the turbo kit is 3DAYS OLD it's brand new!!! I drove the car for 3 days and the piston ring blew. So you are getting what you payfor.

I think I towed it more than I ever drove it J.K but seems like it. I really don't care I want it out of here so I can get a house for my wife, my daugter and I. Also it will help me jump start my career in law enforcement. Then i'll get an evo 8 and do little things and it would alot of fun. Dam civic is too ricey too. I want a black evo with blk window tints, rims in blk with a machine lip and blk projectors and tails. Nice and slick and then I'll call it a day.

Well the motor has a blown piston ring and it prolly scared up the cylinder wall so it has to be machined. I would sell the motor and tranny and wiring harness for $3,500 I paid $10,000 for it since I bought a front clip/\.

I don't have the time nor do I want to put the effort in taking everything apart and going back to stock. I don't even a single stock piece left! Not the seats, wing, radio or even the motor. Our lease is up on Sept 31 and we $10,000 or more to get a house by the end of the month. I appriciate your suggestions but we need the money now. Hell id money was not an object right now I would give the car away!
