Just get the normal sti, upgrade to a bigger turbo, headers, ecu and it's going to run quicker than the stock sti and you've probably paid less for it as well.

But your 7k miles in three years implies to me you're not much of a driving enthusiast but just has the money to throw on the newest fad. Now that three years has past and everyone and their mother has a twin you want to switch to the next fad. An "STI." So thus i say do it, just get the sti. Hell the next civic si is listed to run about 300hp along with the awd speed 3. As long as your happy.
