Hey everyone, new guy here. This is my second Honda, although you could probably call it my first, since my first Honda was a 91 Prelude that only lived for about a week when I got it when I was 16. My previous car was a 2004 STi with a bunch of work into it. It had a swapped bugeye front end, widebody, and a bunch of other things done to it, but it was a ticking time bomb. The transmission was replaced with a brand new OEM 6-speed shortly after I bought it, due to a "mod gone wrong" by the previous owner. Over the past 2 weeks the throwout bearing and pilot bearing were replaced. When we looked at the pilot bearing it was solid and didn't move at all. uh-oh. The new pilot bearing was already screaming 2 days later, and that was the last straw. That, combined with all the power steering leaks, coolant leak from a stripped thermostat housing bolt, and the engine smoking when it was cold, meant it was time for something new before it got really expensive. I wanted something new anyway.

I did auto-X then rally-X with it, even winning a few trophies. It was a fun car, but the "Subaru reliability" I had heard so much about didn't seem to apply to my car. I was always replacing parts.

Another reason for getting rid of it was so that I could put more time and money into the real project car, my 68 Corvette.


So here is the Si. Its an 07 with 68K. It already a few parts on it, like an Injen intake, and possible an exhaust. It looks aftermarket, but is very quiet. Its lowered and has a few Mugen parts, like the rain guards and oil cap. It will be a fun DD that I can tinker with. I only have one picture right now from when I got home yesterday, but I will try to take some more today.

 

Just out of curiosity, I reached my hand back to feel the exhaust manifold. It has a header, but I have no idea what one.
