this is true, but for his case, clutches are cheaper then trannies, and the mods are endless for that car

thanks guys i would have love to complete the TL too but it was too much of a headache

Unkn0VV17- dam bro that hurts to see your car stripped like that i hope u had full coverage at least

@cur@- as far as being a downgrade i mean i rather this over all the headaches the TL threw my way and like phortz said its better than going threw a shitload of trannies....not only that a little more motor work and this thing will be faster than the TL i had lol

as far as plans i have a lot of motor work in mind and yes i am definatly boostin it and slamming the hell out of it lol but i also would like to keep it nice clean and sleek lookin

I had all sorts of stuff done to my 99 and it still wasnt near as quick as my TL was. and the TL handled as good or better (i got better lap times racing with the TL than teh si)

lol, no one really give a crap about the TL's here really. They're mostly break into Civic, Tegras, Sentras...so on since their easier to break in/steal. Thanks for the warning though

BOOOOOOO!!!1 It should be the other way around. Civic --> TL

But I understand what you're saying and why you're doing it. That Si looks good, and your plans sound great too. There's nothing wrong with a fast CLEAN Si.

Good luck man.

Damn dude my car style is exactly like yours, same color and everything fixed up. I'm on the same route as you because my mileage is getting HIGH! At 153k now and plan on getting a regular DC Integra and mod the shit out of it.
