Got my ride back!

[Addict]

Some you may have read a THREAD (http://www.hondastyle.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5705) I posted a while back.
Well after about 3 weeks I finally got my car back. Honda replaced my short block & all valves. The final bill was $5160. :eek: Fortunately I only had to pay my deductible. :D

I was comtemplating selling it and getting a new VW Jetta 1.8T, but the immediate plans have changed. I forgot how much fun my Si is to drive. It handles great. Rides great. And now it runs better than ever. THough I can't really get on it until its broken in.

Now I've got plans in the works for my engine monitoring system & moble multimedia system. Ought to be fun, fun, fun...

Man I missed my baby!!!

DRAG is about $3000
F-MAX is about $3200
GReddy is about $2300

And there's way too many decisions......

[juvenile]

Are Greddy turbos good though. They are considerably cheaper. Is that for a reason?

They don't come with the FMIC that the other kits do. That's a big reason why.....

[juvenile]

is that some sort of fuel management system?

I told you... Call the guy at ITSTurbo.net and see what his kit will run you. :yes: T3/T4 would work real nice on that lil black Civic of yours..;)

FMIC is a front mounted intercooler
