    Turbo An Auto???

    I think I've asked this before but I'm still anxious about it: I REALLY want to turbo my P5. I've got an automatic transmission - what does that mean for my turbo? Will I have to keep the boost low? Do I need to find a stronger, more responsive torque converter? Can I eventually drop that...

    Civic EX? Fire away...

    Allright, my wife read in Consumer Reports that they picked the Civic EX over the P5 so we went and test drove it tonight. Now I have to come up will all this justification why the P5 is better (remember, with wives it is "but it's cuter" or "it looks more sophisticated") Comparing torque and...
