as much as i loved my 2001 civic EX, i love this new 2005 si way more. i can't wait till it is broken in so i can really see what she can do.

trust me... the Si's are not as fast as you would think. RSX type-s is pretty quick

it's maybe not that fast from the factory, but it has a ton of potential after-market. rsx-s is pretty fast, my friend has one, but i like the EP3 chassis better and also after the A2 head swap and CTR intake manifold, i will be pretty quick too.

i just got mine today, sunday afternoon. i was looking for a white one like yours, but they are really rare right now for some reason. silver is nice looking too though.

congrats on your ep!

Al Gore FTW 08-01-2005 03:27 AM

CiViCPrAnInG2k1 08-01-2005 07:16 AM

im pretty sure HONDA deals is gonna run like crazy because they have to get rid of the 05 models for the 06. this last quarter prices are really low.

KnocturnalEM2 08-01-2005 06:23 PM

Yeah that! Congrats on the new car...but I would have waited for the '06 which will pwn the '04-05 Sis.

White05EXSE 08-01-2005 07:10 PM

True...

EM2typeflex 08-01-2005 07:46 PM

^^who cares what anyone thinks of the 02-05 si, the k20a3 is still a step up froma d17. congrats for those who bought si's.

Another good point. :tup:

The main reason I said that I would have waited is because the '06 Si is probably gonna be the best Civic made to date. More than that it will probably be better than the old Preludes.

AzNmiKex215 08-02-2005 12:08 PM

I'm sorry... don't know why I said that about them not being fast... please don't hurt me?! They're quick. Also... you should do a type-s head swap. Or look around and maybe find a type-r if you're lucky.

AzNmiKex215 08-02-2005 12:53 PM

ive read up on that Type-S headswap swap on A3's, and they seem to say the gains don't show through unless you get the A2 6 speed tranny.

The Type-S head flows superior to the A3 head, but you need the gearing to take advantage of its flow in the upper RPM band.

scatman 08-02-2005 03:15 PM

i did my swap about a yr ago :giggle:

it's part flow and the extra lobes on the cam. The A3 heads are missing them. The A2 heads on the K20/K24 have more of the 'real' vtec as seen in the B motors, and the K20A3 (si) K24A4 (accord) are getting more of an emission boost, and not more power without the lobes.

I can't wait to find a K20A2 head, get a K-Pro, and 6speed w/LSD....best part, I won't need motor mounts :D

burke420 08-08-2005 05:32 PM
