Back from the dead! It's actually just been more of a lack of any real updates with the car. I pulled the whole back end of the interior out to swap rear deck speakers out and haven't put it back a) because I want a friend who's good with audio wiring to pull out the old subwoofer wiring that...

Your best bet is to go in and see what sticker price is and make an offer based on that minus a few thousand. lethal is right though. The stealership is a business and if they don't make any money on a car they're not doing something right. Last time we had someone ask to buy a vehicle at cost...

Thanks guys. Stole the garage from the folks for the day. Wound up starting to fix some of the interior stuff. Previous owner hadn't reattached the connectors all along the bottom of the drivers side door card from when he repaired the window track. Fixed all of those. Also pulled the whole back...

Hey all, Recently got into the Honda game when I picked up a 2000 Civic SiR. Little bit of a high miler but mechanically it's in really good shape. Doesn't burn any oil, no weird hesitations when it's starting. The big thing about it though was that it was (95%) rust free. Finding that in...

Gonna shoot for 500+ with ls/vtec unless I can find a better option for a base engine to start with

Still a big big fan of power metal. Swear I could listen to Sabaton all day and be totally cool with it. Got to see them, Amon Amarth, and Skeletonwitch a few weeks back. Skeletonwitch was alright and Amon Amarth put on a solid show like always. Sabaton was who I paid to see though :P

It's not that I'm opposed to spending money, I just don't see the reasoning for it if I'm only shooting for 250-260 whp. When I do my LS/VTEC build I'll be buying a Precision TA6266 or PT6262 for my turbo. I'll let you guys guess what kind of numbers I'm shooting for

The big thing for me was not overpaying (or my definition of overpaying) for a turbo. I had a bunch of local people tell me I needed to drop around 1600 dollars on a turbo by itself in order to hit my power goals. If I can make the power I want with a used turbo (factory or aftermarket) for...

Turbo is .48 A/R. Also supposed to read as a 50 trim turbo as well. Knowing it's only a 50 makes me think it'll actually be pretty good for spool time

Gonna sound like kind of a dumb question (been asking a lot of these recently) but is a T3/T4 60 trim hybrid turbo too big for what I'm aiming for? The price is right to pick one up but I don't want an oversized turbo considering I'm only looking to hit 250hp

So here's my issue in a nutshell. I'm adding boost to my SiR come spring, and as such I want to be a little more comfortable in the car. To this end I've been looking at swapping the stock seats out to something more supportive and that doesn't feel like I'm sitting on fabric covered plywood...

Finding parts for the first gen can be a little tricky though. Kinda sucks to hear that the turbo's gonna be a pain to use now.... I know I've been in contact with Xpl0d3r through PM. Might just cut my losses and pick up the turbo stuff he's selling

Easier to modify to fit than a universal kit then. Gotcha. Have run into a potential issue with my choice in turbo. Turbo I bought is a 16g td05h off an evo iv. It is a twin scroll turbo. Is this going to cause issues with my manifold not having a twin flange? Again I don't really want to spend...

So that's pretty much universal fit for any b series?

The biggest reason I was looking at eBay stuff is that they come as complete kits with all the piping and couplings which is a big bonus. Time to go hunting for my IC

Picked up the 16g this afternoon and getting my injectors tomorrow. As far as the Intercooler is concerned does it matter what I get as long as it isn't too big?

Ebay 1 Piece Cast Racing Manifold Knockoff (38mm Wastegate) (Will also hunt for decent used manifolds) - will be reflanged for a 14b or t2 turbo to keep costs down Either T28 or 16g Turbo (will be rebuilt by local shop prior to installation) 510cc DSM Injectors Exedy Stage 2 Clutch Kit...

I'm on a huge Sabaton kick right now. It's the only real reason my turbo parts hunt has dragged on this long (buying a flag...and a hoodie....and like 6 shirts....among other things)

Car is currently on stock suspension so height isn't an issue. When it does get lowered it's not dropping a huge amount so I should be ok. And if I have to remove ac so be it. Should be able to get an updated parts list tonight

Holy crap. Other people interested in cars like metal??!? Can I move to where these people are concentrated? Sick of all the idiots at the local meets pulling up with awful music
