    $40k to spend on a car - new or used

    How come nobody mentioned an S2K? Just a matter of finding a pristine shape frame s2k and drop in a stronger engine but that's optional.

    Welcome!! I love the white look for the two door Si.

    Anyone here a beer advocate?

    Steam Whistle I definitely recommend the bottled one, canned not so great.

    Fully agree!

    R18 Vs/Or K24's, That is the question

    A GTR or a WRX STI or a 370z is heavier than an Si, they're also way faster than LX or Si. Performance wise weight is not everything thought too much of it can spoil the fun a bit.

    FWD vs RWD vs AWD Thread. :)

    Didn't find a proper road to try it yet but i plan to, stock springs so I will take it easy ;) The technique is called lift off oversteer, very useful for FWD and AWD and very practiced in rally driving.

    R18 Vs/Or K24's, That is the question

    actually that is reversed AT is heavier than MT so that makes the Coupe Si 177 pounds heavier. Using half tank and no spare tire will bring that even closer. 40 some for the tire 40 some for the half gas tank that brings the diff to 100 pounds. http://www.honda.ca/civic_coupe/specs Canadian...

    R18 Vs/Or K24's, That is the question

    So that makes the Si 10% heavier but with an engine 25% bigger still bigger potential if you mod both the same way :) ( 300 / 2900 and .6 / 2.4 used for calculation )

    Is this tire repairable?

    I had a similar experience but middle of the thread and I patched it, i go hard on it as well but i did my research and the location matters a lot. Buying a new one is the proper thing to do since it is more likely to be less reliable in the side than in the thread, if you drive it hard and goes...

    R18 Vs/Or K24's, That is the question

    Freeway racing considered none of them are the proper tools in my opinion. The Si is a nimble agile car that on a track is better due to less weight, better handling and better gear ratios. An Accord V6 to keep it Honda is better for that or a plain old american muscle will do wonders. Drag...

    R18 Vs/Or K24's, That is the question

    Actually flooring a car does not yield the best results :) A Vette floored either will get its power cut due to tc kicking in or it will burn tires and still not move as fast as desired with TC off. Flooring the Si does not make it go the fastest, properly working the clutch, gears and throttle...

    FWD vs RWD vs AWD Thread. :)

    Lowest trim 370z in Canada starts at 41 MSRP 43 with levies before taxes, Si is at 26 MSRP 28 with levies before taxes, one trim only (Navi).

    Ridiculous Rides!

    Is it bad if I have to say I actually find the look of this buggy interesting. I would never drive it though.

    FWD vs RWD vs AWD Thread. :)

    Seeing dazed looks of BMW, Audi and Mercedes owners when a Si just left them in the dust is priceless ha ha :) Top models the Si has no chance but the entry levels are most of them slower.

    FWD vs RWD vs AWD Thread. :)

    Agreed. Each car is a combination of all its functional elements and each requirement has a better car for it. That basically makes this discussion incomplete though :)

    FWD vs RWD vs AWD Thread. :)

    On the track an RWD car has lots of advantages, i would take an S2K any day over my loved Si. Best is MR RWD but those are always pricey. I do agree for the price Si is more than a decent beast with some proper mods, FWD and all :)

    I finally purchased!

    Oh, those pesky sensors. Very happy the Canadian models don't have it, I actually looked at what models have it Canada when i bought my Si. I cannot imagine how somebody can drive with a flat or low pressure tire and not feel it... I did see people driving with their engine shield dragging on...

    Welcome and don't worry about the damage should be good as new afterwards, does not sound like frame bending fun so should be good ;)
