Default Hmmm.. New Car?

I just joined the navy, and recieved a good sized sign on bonus, Ill probably invest in a piece of land first. Then will come a car.

My orginal plan was to k swap then turbo an eg, but the fear of it getting stolen is hard to get past. Too many thieves, I see atleast one a day "my car got stolen" threads in the 92-00 civic thread.

My question is, how do you guys like your civic si's? how much do they weigh? how long is suggested before I turbo it? how much boost is it capable with stock internals? To pull the motor will I have to drop the subframe (i heard this was nessacary in the rsx).

Is there anything you guys dont like about your car?

1 more thing. Im a pretty tall guy. About 6'3". In my eg, after about 2 hours of driving my legs hurt from being too close. Any tall drivers with the new si? how do you like.?

Thanks ALOT

-Cody
