Traded the 00 FBP beast for an 02 yesterday.
Took my 00 Si to Honda yesterday to look at the 02 Si.Well,to make a long story short,i didnt come home with the 00.Im now the proud owner of a SSM 02.I totally LOVE the car.The interior really makes the 99-00 interior look like a turd.To me,the build quality of the 02 is hands down better than the 00 si;none of the body panels on my old 00 lined properly.And the interior was falling apart to boot.Some suckers going to get a 00 that had the **** boosted out of it for a while 
If there are any AZ guys here looking for a 00,stay away from the FBP 00 at Right Honda,lol,stay FAR away....Overall impressions are as follows....I can shift this thing under 3K and still stay ahead of traffic.Try that in a b16 powered car,it ISNT happening.You can REALLY feel the TQ start to build at 2500ish.Those who have said they couldnt feel the extra tq of the 02 are CRAZY to say the least.Handling is great,but taking SHARP corners is the cars weakness;tooooo much roll.Nothing some suspension components cant fix though The tires blow a fat one;195/60/ 15 michelins,they are pretty much the same tire that came on the 99-00,and we all know how bad those are.I left honda with 9 miles on the car,and it had 260 now,24 hours after getting it.I just cant wait to break it in,and dyno it.Then take it to the track and see what she does.I can tell you this for a fact though,i DONT doubt the claimed 15.6 time someone posted.This car should land SOLIDLY in the 15s no problem what so ever.Only time will tell i guess.You guys will be the first to know the dyno #s and the quarter mile times.........RIP 00,i loved ya while i had ya,but tq is addictive

You guys will be the first to know the times(well,besides the SW forum on CSi)I really want to throw a blower on this thing BAD;i miss the blower i had on the 00 
I love this friggin car though,i just cannot stop driving it.350 Miles since sunday Im just in love with it,thats all i can say! I was a hater once it came out too,but i drove it and really started to appreaciate the changes honda has made to this car.I think im just going to throw the basic bolt ons on it,and try to make it look hot.
