It is pretty damn hard to reach down and open the hood in the showroom before shelling out 15k for a vehicle I guess.....

Some people like to understand what they are investing in. Others just like to get owned...

Hmm...

Time=Money.
Time spent driving or riding in a car=Money.
The many uses of a vehicle for increased quality of life=determining factor of most purchases.

The term investment refers to the allocation of resources. By itself, the term is non-judgemental (meaning there are both good and bad investments). Cars are a considerable investment for the average American: a poor one in terms of monetary returns, however a great one in terms of quality of life.

You are probably investing in your vehicle for many of these same reasons. Whether you are as aware of the mechanical and design details of your recent purchase as you think you are is a completely different argument. I will point out that you were owned above for this very reason.

Further, you are posting in a technical forum meaning that you go beyond the average consumer in automobile interest.

Finally, you posted a thread about aftermarket forced induction for a vehicle whose inherent design does not facilitate this mode. You would have better luck on a geo metro.

The fact that you are getting owned and want to take it out on me for pointing it out is quite painful. Really, I can't bear to see you on such a defensive. This is further augmented by your silly and rather shallow grasp of poly-syllabic English.

None of this changes the fact that you have poor mechanical understanding of the brand new civic that you purchased and wish to turbocharge 'down the line'. And the majority of people who own a civic are not interested in aftermarket forced induction.

But life is short, and though it makes you look worse, I forgive you for calling me an idiot. Gotta admit, it really must have just been one of your more ignorant moments. Children....

and the ending factor of that whole novel you just wrote (which i did not bother to read), the car is still worth less than what you bought it for

btw, the new design is there is NO HEADER, the "header port" comes out as ONE (skinny oval shape) and goes straight into the catalytic convertor.

in theoory, i suppose you could make a single pipe that connects to a turbo (like done in the past) and relocate the cat like it is in the FG2

according to the ENGLISH DICTIONARY
investment: An asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in the future. In an economic sense, an investment is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth. In finance, an investment is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or appreciate and be sold at a higher price.

heres a hot tip, stop pretending to know what ur talking about. cuz right about now, you're the only one who is getting owned.

What you failed to mention was that the definition you have supplied falls beneath the generally accepted and widely used definition:

in·vest·ment ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-vstmnt)
n.
The act of investing.
An amount invested.
Property or another possession acquired for future financial return or benefit.
A commitment, as of time or support.
A military siege.
Archaic.
A garment; a vestment.
An outer covering or layer.

Q.E.D.

I have already forgiven you for being a jackass. I did not own you to begin with, nor have I done so anywhere else in this thread. You are bringing it upon yourself. I am just pointing it out.

Like I said above: please just let it go. Nothing good for you will come from this.

King Bob, with all good intentions to assist you and all other users who wish to read your posts, you might benefit from using the dictionary as well...

First of all, I was attacked because somebody didn't know what investment meant.

Secondly, you had to voice your illiterate and non-grammatical opinions with no concern for what was said.

Read ownz joo... well, grammar ownz joo... and you need to do plenty of it to cure your ravaged writing skills.
Good writing=good thinking. I guess you need to learn how to think. It is a headache trying to read your thoughts.

You speak of deviation from the thread, and then talk about WRXs.... hmmm...

Take a seat. Calm down. And understand that you are not adding anything useful to the thread.

Please don't continue to instigate. I will be the first to apologize for any mistakes I have made. I can't apologize for yours. Know that I forgive you for your misguided attack and Simma Down.

Wow. That was helpful: Retard. Pitiful position.

Wow. sounds like you need to stop attacking me with your own shortcomings. Stop owning yourself and let it go already. It must hurt for you to keep doing this to yourself. Like I said, there is no need to continue this way.

lets just ignore him and he'll stop responding...

and get back to the matter at hand

as for turbo kit for the R18A1, I emailed Greddy, here was the email

Information on turbo kit? Inbox
Daniel Jennings
Feb 2
Greddy,

I was wondering if your company will be R&D for a turbo for the 2006 Civic EX (engine code = R18A1). The Si, while a great car is not what I landed, but not necessarily what I wanted. What I would like is just a little more juice out of my civic via Greddy turbo kit.

The new SOHC iVtec motor isn't the same as the old D-series motors, different exhaust out put.

Also I'd like to recommend that should you at Greddy design a turbo kit for the 2006+ civic that you make it compatible with a fog light kit (for use with the intercooler) that would make a lot of people happy since a big majority of us honda civic owners love to have our fog lights.

Thank you for your time

-Daniel

Thanks for your interest in GReddy Products
Currently we do not have any plans for a Civic EX turbo kit, but we thank you for your input on future GReddy products. We feel it is very important to get feedback for current and future customers. I will forward your request to our design department, and if we get enough support and request for items like this, we may look into developing items in this area. Thank you again for your email.
