Nice Pics. SOLO guys would love to pick this up. Replace those torn/worn bushings and you gotta competitor.
DC stainless 4-2-1 if you can find em' in good condition
HyTech if you got the cash.
ZC 4-2-1. if you are looking for a minor bump and looking to spend less the $50
P.S. that dodge truck looks bad azz too
DC stainless 4-2-1 if you can find em' in good condition
HyTech if you got the cash.

Found this. Looks like the Hytech isn't that much better than the DC

On a side note if the rumors are true, and all the ST guys running civic si's get excluded from ST and thrown in with STS in 2012 they will all want that "small bump" when they have to run against miatas and mr2s.

Looks like a great find. Stock gems are very hard to find... an SI none the less. A little clean up and you are golden.

I also have a 89 si and plan on restoring/modifying it. im keeping the motor the same but have already modified the suspension exhaust and getting rims in the future. I mean imagine how many 89 si's do you see out there with a set of work equips or bbr competitions or a set of mugen nr10's done right.

Thanks!
Yeah, I'm not gonna do anything drastic to change it. Not to worry, I'm going to keep this car clean!!! Stay tuned for more updates. I now have 3 small Honda pieces on its way to me. Soo excited!!!

This hatch is a beauty. Also appreciate it when someone takes the time to take nice photos and not whatever VGA garbage they got off their 4 year old cell phone.

I also ordered some mudguards, but they were for 90-91 hatchbacks and not for my 89 
. I was soo bummed when I went outside to test fit them. In the process of getting some for my 89 though. Fingers crossed, I hope this guy comes through!
