Default ok I am going through

a little dilemma.

I drive a 2000 fbp hatch with B18C1 swap.

What would you do if you were in my shoes.

Choice #1: TURBOCHARGE IT
Choice #2: Sell it and get a 2000 Audi A4 quattro 1.8T and a Yamaha R1 (brand new)
Choice #3: 2000 Corvette

a nice car and yet a nice bike u cant beat TWO new toy to play with ...

side note: if u get a turbo what are the chances of your Car being stolen .. u do the math.

with a A4 and the R1 your safer plus u still lOOK COOL LOL...

Get the bike then worry about a car. Bikes are ***** magnets if thats what you are going for, but if not they are still a blast to ride when you want that adrenaline run and a very relaxing ride when your stressed.

i would go with choice two because the audi is such an amazingly comfortable car and they ride so damned nice and then there would be the bikw for when its not raining or shitty weather out, what year audi were you looking at because if you said 98 or 99 then maybe you should check out the E36 M3, but then again i dunno if you get the same funny feeling in your stomach when you see those cars as i do

I say stay true to Honda's NA roots and bore it out to 84mm, JE 84mm pistons, AEBS T sleeves, port and polish the head, Spoon cams, ITR oil pump, Skunk2 valvetrain. I bet this setup will be quick and you'll beat most cars on the road. I remember a few years ago Super Street's JUN NA Civic Si beat out everyone else's JR Supercharged Civic si, no that's pure NA power.

i agree with this. the audi a4 quattro 1.8t is a badass car. definately my next purchase. i love hondas but honestly guys, the only thing better is german performance. from experience, i have a friend that took a 2003 A4 quattro, put a full 3" catback, downpipe, new blowoff valve, boost controller, and had the head worked by barbus and he is pushing 350+ whp on the dyno. give me a day or so to catch him off work and i will put up his dyno sheet for proof.
