Hey guys/gals!
Ok......
I'm a 38 year old father of 2 and husband. I purchased my first Honda in 1991, a Civic Si! Tahitian green....great car! I've been driving Honda's ever since, and NOTHING but!
That first Si was perfect! I just sold it actually about a year ago. I had a B16 from Japan, Y1 tranny w/LSD....about every square inch of that car was replaced with performance parts, it was all original as far as paint and interior...and it was FLAWLESS! This car, with the stock 1.6 SOHC motor, ran a fast of 13.5 w/full interior! I built it myself with the help of GUDE racing. I got rid of it because I didn't have time for it anymore...kids and work were a bit more important than spending hours upon hours keeping the Si running strong. JDM ECU, guage cluster, motor....it all equaled alot of upkeep.
and....I had another project! I purchased a 2000 Honda Odyssey, yes the minivan in 2000. it was an LX, a family hauler...or so my wife thought!
over the past 4 years I've added:
-18" Speedy ATIX5 race wheels, 235/50/18 BFG KDWS
-Tanabe 2.25" drop springs
-Wings West and Honda optional body kit and rear roof wing
-100 shot NX nitrous kit and GENX 2 kit w/maximizer (flow computer)
-RC bored throttle body
-honed intake manifold
-Custom one off polished stainless Cold air intake and EFI filter
-custom Thermal based 2.5" exhaust
-custom painted fender stripes
-TONS of ICE! CDT Audio speakers and subs, DEI amps and cap, Audio control processors....it's SQ competition ready!
I'm about to do:
-cross drilled rotors and stainless lines
-twin turbo and intercooler
-dual exhuast and possibly supertrapp mufflers
-new amps
Total HP: 353 (stock on premium was 210)
Quick ET: 15.0 @ 93mph (with crappy contisports and NO traction! guessing this year we'll hit 14.3-14.5 w/new rubber)
anyway....after lighting up mustang after mustang, and TA after TA with my "minivan", I wanted to rid myself of one of the 2 4door civic's we had, a 02 LX and a 92 DX. I kept the DX as it was paid for, and traded the LX where I work, Classic Honda, for the last New '03 Vivid blue Si we had on the lot! Came with fogs, 'carbon' dash trim, mats and cargo net...all I paid for was cost on the fogs! ;)
So...I have my Si back..and this car is Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! can't get over how solid, how fast and how well it handles!
Mods coming soon are:
-Jackson header
-Hondata reflash
-Eibach 1.4" drop springs
-Speedy race mode 16" rims
-Type R rear wing
-mild body kit? maybe a mugen/type R style with side sills...not sure yet. I like the look of the stock Si lowered w/wheels.
I'll be here often! with my 91 Si I was the GURU of a large Honda related site and board. I've built and raced Civics' and Odysseys' for years now, and love every minute of them!
Anyone have ANY honda related Questions, just ask! I'm learning the EP motor as I'm a D/B kinda guy...you know, old school :)
thanks and keep in touch!!
