I'd really like to boost this car and see the potential but the risk is more than I've ever dealt with and I am not used to that feeling. I love this car and don't want to go back to builds I've done but this fuel system really bothers me knowing that I'm dealing with a boxer motor which they don't have the best past with power before blowing and needing rebuilds and still unreliable then. I know boxer motors can be reliable with small mods but these fa20'sare a whole new animal lol sorry for blabbing haha.
yeah but remember Honda has been making K series for over 10 years and say D series (excluding the old DOHC version) for 10 years before that. If you had a Civic Si in the 90s don't you think it was the same thing modding them back then? Plus they didn't really have the same level of internet support.
