I'm at work right now and my friend's been talking about turbocharging his little D16 Si. It's one of those 92-95 ones. Anyway, I always mess with him talking about rice this rice that. He was basically just for sho until today. Wow. I want a turbo now! It's a hell of an experience. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with friends that have supercars and turbo cars, etc. I mean, the fastest I've been in any car was an old Porsche 944(145MPH), and I recently learned to drive manual. So this stuff is all amazing to me. So yeah, it's a D16(Beats me by 2-3 cars stock against the Celi.) Wow, that turbo is crazy. Everything was Greddy. That thing flies. It sounds like the green Eclipse from F&F when it arrives at the stadium. It pushes you back, it feels like someone's punching you in the stomache when you shift gears. And he's only boosting 4 lbs. The BOV was Greddy something and it sounds a lot like Doggy's old Celi(Sorry Romas, didn't mean to compare you to a Civic). Yours was still nicer! But yeah, I'm very excited. Wooo! Can't wait to get my turbo!!!

BUT:

my first time in a turbo car was in a 95 civic coupe w/ b16a (del sol) w/ a rev hard turbo built by in-line (best honda/acura shop in no.va) anyways that **** was CrAzY!

but after a while i decided that i dont want that much horsepower/torque on fwd. i dont like driving str8 all the time. i like turns, which is why i dont want my car to push while accelerating in a turn. which is why most cars over 250hp are either awd/rwd.

so its either way actually

yeah, for this reason i'm thinking about keeping the celi stock and saving my money for an m3 or corvette. fwd just has its limits, and while it would be fun to do a v8-rwd conversion on a celi i would just rather get a car thta came that way.

i figure when i graduate college in a year i can get a 94-96 m3 or corvette for around $15,000
