Does that look good? There was one for an h22, which is what I think I'm getting for the same price and I'm just trying to get opinions because it is really cheap and does anyone think it's suspicious or anything?

I haven't got any work done yet, I have a CAI which I installed myself then shortly after that I got into serious performance upgrades and decided to go turbo. My dad and I are going to install the turbo, put it on a trailer and take it to VA beach and get it checked out, make sure everything is good and there is no leaks. Then I'm getting it dynoed. So I haven't really got any work done. There's supposedly some guy in Richmond that is a Honda guru though and can street tune and I might do that. I dunno.

what are you taking it to va beach for? i think i've heard about that guy who is crazy good with hondas. i think he had some cars that he worked on in some mags.
good luck with the install it shouldn't be that bad. hey have you ever been racing down there? i went down there one friday night with some friends, and some people in richmond have some crazy ****

Oh, well the closest dyno is in VA beach, so I'm told. But yea I heard about the guy in Richmond, so I'm thinking about letting him tune it then, later going to VA beach to dyno just to see what power I can get. No I always want to race people here but noone wants to race except the kids with civics with fart can exhausts, and that's no fun other than to humiliate them.

there is a shop up here in fredericksburg that recently got a dyno (about 2.5 months ago)
Express Auto Service
2201 J. Davis Hwy.
Fredericksburg 22401
Tel: (540) 372-4422
http://www.expressautoservice.com
they were into car repair for a while and the shop has just grown and grown and now they opened their own performance center its a seperate shop down the street from the original repair shop. haven't had my car dynoed yet there but i saw a turbo gsr hatch getting dynoed. it seemed like they knew what they were doing. don't know how much $ either, but i would definately consider it. its about 6 miles off i-95 to so it would be an easy trip from richmond. tell me what ya think

Alright, thanks you have instant messanger? If so just pm me it and we can talk more. And since you live in Fredricksburg, maybe we could meet up when I got there or something, I dunno. I'm guessing you have the 2000 civic si? By what it says in your username at least.

hey i was looking at the kit again, the only thing that i think you should think about is upgrading the turbo for the extra $299 it would be well worth it.
