yes....veryy veryyy expensive. I've already thrown more then $4k in this car....(paint, conversion, wheels, seats, and a couple of a few other things I haven't installed)

No sense in doing power mods unless you're gonna throw a K20 in and then you jump into a whole big money pit.

Just keep that GSR motor running good and play with the suspension IMHO.

I want a GSR as well to be my DD...but am afraid I will start modding it like crazy too!
hahah yeah man most of us here can't keep a car stock and ur so right a k20 swap is hella expensive. You can actually buy another car for the price of just the motor. Oh and yeah i've done a lot to this motor to get it running the way it is now. Motor feels really healthy so i'm happy.

Yeah I admit i've driven my cousins civic with a k20 in it and it was really fun. But different from what i'm use to with the suby. I know I shouldn't compare but I owned my suby for so long it's hard not too. Oh and well I owned a turbo civic in the past so I know these cars can be pretty fun with a turbo in it...but...i'm also scared to go hella crazy with this car because that very same turbo civic was stolen in my parking garage when I lived in sunnyvale.

I still remember walking into the garage to this day and pressing the unlock button on my remote and thinking I just forget where I parked.....
