You won't have a unique car, a whole bunch of people turbo their cars. But I would get a better car.

sell man, i htought same thing, but to get a turbo kit and have it installed prop and all the other engine work then must be done to prep for your turbo, it aint worth it, save your money get something better, also remember,the money you put into most aftermarket shiet, you wont get back when you try to sell it. def save your money and buy like a wr or a 1.8t or some shiet, you will be pleasenlty surprised

my car has 130,000 miles on it, is that to much to go turbo, and how much are you selling your turbo kit for?

just rebuild your motor, and boost the hell out of it. then you'll be faster than any "better" car you might wish to buy.

Yeah, I dunno why everyone like to slap a blowdryer on their car.

Props to all the N/A guys who have spent countless hours and blood trying to squeeze every ******* HP out of their car possible. I tip my hat to you guys.

maybe because its alot cheaper to boost than go all motor. i dont give someone "respect" because they took the hard/expensive route.

upgrade to something newer. Acura makes good cars but the newer the better. You should be satisfied with the overall ride of something new such as a ls or gsr. But go test drive one to see if it's what your looking for. I did and bought a 98 gs, better than a 96 civic ex i had for a short time.

you have to do what you want to! its your car and you have to deal with it. i have a 98 ls auto. im gonna do a tranny swap and boost. many would tell me to sell it and buy a 5 sp gsr or something but i love my car and its too perfect to get rid of, it had 25,000 mi on it and it was owned by an elderly woman....( not something i can even begin to picture ) so man if its worth it to you to keep the car then boost it if not sell it and get a new one!

I would rather spend $10k fixing it up very nicely than spend $20k - $25k on a new car. $10k can buy you a LOT of staff. Think about it!
