Re: 2006 civic si
We are working on an Integra for a guy, doing an LS to GSR swap. He called me on Saturday and wants me to start looking for lowering springs and an intake for the 06 Si he just ordered. Dude has a 99Si, 02 RSX Type-S, b16 swapped 95 hatch, b18 swapped 93 hatch, fairly stock 97 hatch, 95 del sol Si plus the integra we are working on. Must be ------- nice. Only thing I don't like about the new Si is the drive-by-wire system, other than that, it is a sweet car.
anyone know what the retail is goin to be on one of those?
J/P It says in the post, under $20k

Re: 2006 civic si
Maybe it's just me, but when it comes to honda's I find myself thinking like the old guys with thier muscle cars. They aren't interested in anything Chevy, Ford, ect. is coming out with because it just isn't the same as it used to be.
The K series will be the future, but the initial price of the new cars, the new complex ecu's, ect just don't get my interest going towards anything new. If I bought something brand new, it'd probably be a 4 door boat with a living room as a drivers seat. As for honda's, [good ol' boy voice] they'll never make them like they used to.

Re: 2006 civic si
Looks pretty damm good.About time they stepped up and built a proper SI. SRT4 is def still faster but it is 4dr which kinda killed it for me.I test drove a Cobalt SS a little while ago it is a nice ride It actually had a half decent interior which is truly amazing for GM.Nice to see there is actually a variety of decent performance cars available again for normal people who don't make $100 a year.I totally agree about them not making them like they use to. I would love a basic hatchback with the Kseries.6sp,lsd and nice big 4whl discs.The last SI that fugly minivan thing had to be the worst attempt at a hatchback I have ever seen.
