So it was too slow. I sold it and bought a Volvo. I dont have too many pictures of it, but the goal for right now is 250-300 RWHP, using only the money I have from selling the Si. So far, it seems extremely do able. I just busted up my ankle, but once it runs again I should be in the 200 RWHP range. Anyway, here are some pics; I will update as it comes along.

t3h ugly w/ no motor, so @ 4x4 heighth,

[TypeSwede]

I know... I <3 that car... bleh, its all in the name of going faster.
Gimpin' is good for gettin' ladies. lol

i like those boxy volvos

cool

 

[Going-West]

Yea like old ladies who carry your water at Quiznos

 

[TypeSwede]

Hey! helen was a hottttttY.

i like those boxy volvos

I know, they are super quick too... my buddy colin's would nearly/sometimes beat me and all he had was a boost controller

 

[Genuine Rolla]

that is the first time i've ever heard of someone selling the si for a volvo.....GL with the engine man.

 

[TypeSwede]

yah, pretty odd change. thanks for lookin'.

 

[DjTripp]

dood...that Si was money!....

:: sighs ::

 

[Nine78Guy]

um...... i think it was a big lost...going from your si to your volvo. A boosted b16 would had been the route i would had taken.

 

[mitcheg6]

um...... i think it was a big lost...going from your si to your volvo. A boosted b16 would had been the route i would had taken.

Ya, for sure^^-- should have boosted the SI over buy a volovo, but whatever makes ya happy....umm... i guess

 

[Going-West]

That volvo is going to kill boosted b16's when he's done with it...plus its not fwd

 

[TypeSwede]

like going west said, my car will walk all over boosted B16's when its done. And itwill be done for LESS money than it would have cost to turbo the Si. In fact,the project will make about 250-300 RWHP when its done using only money from selling the Si. It also would not have been practical to turbo a roughly 12.5:1 LS/VTEC. (Read the post). And in my opinion 300 RWHP is a lot more useful than 350FWHP. but yeah, anyways i do regret selling the Si. but i have the need... the need fo' mo' speed. volvo's actually make great track cars too... but i digress, i regret selling the Si more than probably any other thing ive done inmy life. yet again, i will take a fast car over a pretty car EVERY sinlge time. just my style... umm... i guess. anyways, no need to trash what you dont' know about. its all good though, boosted B16's are sooooper fun!

 

[TypeSwede]

also: where i live honda theft is through the roof. my Si got stolen twice. i was VERY sick of re-buying parts ect, and only being able to have liability. the volvo is going to be str8 sl33p3r, no theft there. just some shitty old car.
