My name is Justin and I recently purchased a 00' Si.

Mod list includes:

Hytech Replica Header
Custom ITB's
Hondata s100
Full exhaust
Type R cams
Tein Suspenion
Sway bars front and rear

I have previously owned a 2001 lx, a 2004 Stage 3 Srt 4, and I currently own a 2009 Caliber Srt 4.

I bought the Honda as a daily driver and something to work on for fun. The Caliber is not daily driven and kept in the garage.

Loving it so far!

Caliber is fun to drive but never what the Neon was and it will never be. To much of a van. Bought it on a whim. Should have looked around. I will be selling it soon to purchase a home.

Will be picking up a bike in the srping.

I will be adding some injectors to the Honda as it was running out of fuel and maybe a few more small changes. Ill update soon.

One of the Motor.

A/C is now removed.

Debating on the Power Steering. Any opinions?

I cant really say a whole lot about the performance as it is basically stock with bolt on's. The car is running out of fuel on stock injectors so Im going to be installing some RC's and taking it back for a retune.

It is a little jerky/jumpy in first gear as the throttle is very touchy, It doesnt do the best if floored before 3000 rpms. Anything 3500-400 seems ok. I do let it warm up before driving it as it seems to run better.

Definetly sounds good. More updates to come soon. Ill get a dyno posted up before and after the injectors

BTW, on a conservative tune it makes 150 whp and 110 tq with tuning for midrange tq for autocross. Hoping to see 170-180 whp and 120+ tq with some more fuel.

if you plan on DDing the si i would keep the PS on there. makes it nice when getting around parking lots. i also like the OEM lip rather then the one you have on there. just my opinion. car looks nice. keep it locked up and safe, one of the top stolen cars in the honda community right there.
