Pros - Great gas mileage
Cons - power, acceleration, everything else.

If you are looking for a little more speed/power, a transmission swap would be cheap and do you a world of good.

Pretty much all u have is a great platform to do what u want. Figure out what u want(drag,autx,Hondachallenge,etc) then go from there. Wish I had a VX instead of of my heavy SI

Well iam a daily driver, I want to drag but at the sametime keep it as a daily driver. I want to make my Vx all motor. That is my plan for my project, problem is my budget. Hopefully it will change once i get a job, still struggling with school. I know it seems hard to have a drag car and a daily driver, In my definition of a drag car is street racing, on closed streets which we do every saturday, I just love racing period. I know some people are against it, but IMO i love it, and its a thrill to just to hear the vtec kick in ohh yeah hahah

Do a mini-me swap and you'll run high 15's and still get good gas-mileage

get an B18b swap. They are cheap, your car is light enough that it'll be pretty quick (especially if you can get a different b series tranny), and it'll leave you a ton of options down the road. Mini me is cheaper, but you don't have as much room to grow.
