Magowin Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Finally found one in good condition without any rust. I got a DOHC Vtec one so it has the B16a2 engine from the factory. Carfax was clean and so was the car and it drove really well and was surprisingly fast even with the 136k miles it had on it. I would say its probably as quick as my 2000 Celica GTS was and with the 8200rpm redline it reminds me so much of that car. On the ride home I got 36mpg which was what I was hoping for so this will make a great commuter to keep miles low on the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Ohhh.....my eyes!!! Is that the JDM Catfish body kit??? Seriously though....ditch the body kit and I'd rock it. I had those wheels on my '89 Si....classy looking rollers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magowin Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I have no idea what kit that was I thought it was the Blitz one because I saw another one with same kit on it and thats what that owner described it as. I didn't ask this owner because I assumed it was the Blitz one. It's got a Magnaflow muffler on it too not sure if that back to engine is performance oriented or not but it all looks fairly new under the car so perhaps it's a whole exhaust. Thing is really loud makes my Borla catback on the LGT sound stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 The kit is Erebuni. About $650-1K unfinished. There are more tasteful ones out there, that's for sure. I put a Tenzo R exhaust on my CRX Si after the rare Mugen was stolen. It's a good piece...not expensive, tangible results in performance and not super loud.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I always liked them. Not quite bi-curious, but just manly enough to drive and not get solicited for gay sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rporter Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Congratulations!! I'm also not a body-kit fan, so the front-end is "interesting"!! Almost took some pics of the pile of "stuff" we got into the Del Sol trunk the other day. Wife headed to her folks the other day, and took the two (small) dogs with her. Everything (except the dogs!) fit in the trunk. Plus, she can get 30-city 35-highway mpg with the si AT (about 5 better on both ends than when I drive it!)

fweasel Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Sounds like a fun commuter. And it even has a front tow point when you put it in the kitty litter. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyh Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Nice, I think I'd revert some things to stock, like the body kit and tail lights, and replace the loud exhaust with something quieter. I'm sure some 16~20 year old kid would JUMP on them. Otherwise, that's a pretty good choice for an economic DD that's still fun to actually drive.

IwannaSportSedan Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 +1 on the nose job. I would also opt for larger wheels (they are dwarfed in the wheel wells, and maybe a slight lowering... I can't imagine that would be expensive, considering the aftermarket on the Civic variants. I don't even mind the headlights or tail lights... but the clear inner front lights look a little out of place, not being blackened. It will probably be a fun little runabout and commuter.
