should I boost the new car?
 

Here's the new ride.. still have the ls/vtec civic, was thinking about stripping all the turbo parts left on it (oil line kit..etc) and putting it on the new ride before I sell it.. what do you think, should I boost this new car or leave it clean the way it is and not blow it up like the last LS motor that I had boosted in the civic.

'99 integra gs, fully loaded, black on black leather.. only has 83k on it, lady owned it!

Here's some pics, i'll get pics of it this weekend with the old civic side by side once I clean them both up.

What are you doing with the blue civic? Boost that and drive this thing daily

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

that's my roommates car.. mine is the red EK in the garage (3rd pic down).. it used to be boosted, built ls/vtec.. but i sold the turbo kit off it and i'm selling that car.

Ohh, its not yours...

Buy a project car and drive the integra daily.

Badass Teg. Looks somewhat like mine when I bought it. Except mine had 118,000mi on it. But it was owned by a 40 year old woman, so it was in great condition. It looks like it's owned by an 18 guy now though... Delete that center console, it's a pain in the ass when trying make out/----/etc in your car when you uhh have to... you know. Boost it! Just beware that you'll most likely have to replace the radiator.

damn, i was hoping to keep the thing a/c compatible. I wish I had enough money to keep both cars, the EK was boosted and fun as hell. Thinking about boosting the teg, but I don't want to run into the same problems I had with the civic where it ended up costing me a complete rebuild.

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

I'm just saying because of the lower miles, and the fact that you're only going to have 1 car to keep it NA, because it seems like when you turbo something, you're not gonna leave it at a measly 8 psi or so :P but seriously, if you want to go ahead. I would just keep it NA and have another car as a project, mostly for dependability issues.

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

Good call. Might do that, definately can't live without boosting something.. gotta have a reason to be on HMT! ;D

boost the ek again and keep teg for daily driving but if you are sellling the ek get an older model civic like a hatch or crx.

Re: should I boost the new car?

"Should I boost my car"

Dumbest question ever, of course you should. A N/A car is not acceptable.

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

$ 12,000 w/ 1year bumper to bumper warranty (already paid for itself w/ a water pump/ t-belt replacement! ;D )

but since I went through the dealership i had to do taxes etc..

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

we paid about the same.. yours would be $13,800 with tax.. in alberta we don't pay tax on used cars. :-*

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

i wanted to check it out, but i heard cops were always there.. it's wednesday nights, right?

Re: should I boost the new car?
 

With 118,000 miles on it here, mine cost me a bout $6,800 USDM. I know, a tad on the expensive side, but I love it to death.

Re: should I boost the new car?
