So You Guys Think Its Not Worth It Not Even If The Parts Were Salvaged Off Of Wrecked Si's... Woundn't That Be Cheaper ...and What If Instead Of Gettin The B16a2 Get Something Better Like The Gsr Motor
Why limit yourself to the Si?
Go out and price out motors and stuff. There is SO much better than Si. Sure, get the overpriced Si gauegs if you want (there are other clusters with amber btw, and you don't always HAVE to pay an arm and a leg). IMO it looks weird to have a cluster saying what your car is not (
Si). Go out and get ugly Si wheels (come on, Honda makes better wheels everyday). Do amber interior lighting... um.. what else is it going to have that's worth swapping to Si spec?
Suspension isn't worth it BY FAR. Exhaust is pretty much the same (EXACTLY the same as the EX). Paint (MIlano Red, Electron Blue Pearl, lamenco Black Pearl, and, in Canada, Vogue Silver Metallic). And then a lip and badging. Maybe some foglights (which don't just come on Sis though).
There's so much more out there. Better lips. Badging that matches your car if you want badging. Ntot having to paint your car just to make a clone off of a very common car. Much much much better suspension options. Other clusters. Etc... etc... etc.
I'm not sayign boost the d (I'm not really into that because I see better options out there to use as a base motor than D-series motors). I'm just saying to look over your options first beore going out and getting a bunch of Si parts. And most junkyards aren't going to have a lot of the popular Si parts anymore. Junkyards tend to notice when certain parts are more popular and will price them higher.
And thanks, HondaSpeedaX. Yes, I'm Amy, Amelia, whichever. Yeah, I'm a girl. And hell yes, I love my Hondas.
