I Jumped Ship!!!!!!

[herbieP5]

Well,

After weeks of debate. and lots of hard times wondering which direction I wanted to go, I sold the P5.

I didnt want the expense and inconsistency of going with a forced induction setup, The motor just wasnt designed for it (Mazdaspeed protege is the perfect example) and there is no more power to be had from the "tired" fs-de from the blue oval boys.

So I went back to the "H". I bought a 2000 Honda Civic SiR (SI for the American Boys) and will go with an NA setup from here on in.

I Loved the P5 and wish it was a more workable platform for power but its hard to turn down the bolt on performance of a B16B. I am not looking for a "power monster". just a fun, fast daily driver that looks good.

But, I am not going anywhere. I love this forum and the people on it. its hard to find a better one out there.

I will keep everyone posted on my progress with the Honda.

Cool, I was looking at a Si before... it looked like fun! I want to try the crazy dash shifter thing too.

I love the 99/00 body style and ability to get cheap speed. I wasnt in the market for a new car. I wanted lower payments so the rest can go to mods.

but the new SI/SIR is very nice indeed.

 

[Gaboost]

The 99-00 doesn't have the wierd dash shifter. You sure won't have a problem finding parts for this car, the problem is choosing which ones...

 

[Iggy]

stock i do not like the way that car looks. kinda looks like a jelly bean to me. but with a decent set of rims, side sills and lowered a bit, not top of the tire slamming into the body, just about a one inch drop will really make that car look nice.

 

[Iggy]

what color did you get?

you didnt happen to get the hp handling package did you?

 

[AZDriftR]

im jumping ship too.. haha im going to be buying an Impreza L AWD soon and using the ES as a daily driver till i have the JDM sti version 5 motor/trans/drivetrain installed then its bye bye protege!

 

[anarchistchiken]

I'm selling the protege to get the Batmobile, so mnah.

 

[AZDriftR]

haha^... what about kit

 

[anarchistchiken]

The batmobile from movie 1 & 2 could kick Kits ass. No hasslehoff either.

 

[AZDriftR]

no ****** way..kit can talk and drive himself.. plus there are like 127 billion buttons in it

 

[anarchistchiken]

The batmobile can drive itself too. Plus it has that armor s*** that folds out. Plus JET ENGINE! That does nothing but sorta let flames simmer out of it, but it's still a flippin JET ENGINE!

 

[AZDriftR]

but does it have witty sayings and can it pass emissions..i think not

 

[anarchistchiken]

HAHAHAHA!! It doesn't need to pass emisions! If the cops try to pull him over he can remotely control the bat-plane to pick the car up before the pigs can impound it.

 

[AZDriftR]

kit could just fry the cop motors with an EMP and then fight the cops with its kung fu action doors... Biatch what now??!!??

 

[anarchistchiken]

...... IT'S THE ******* BATMOBILE!! Kit is a 80 something trans am with a carputer.


Plus you're still missing the most important plus of having the batmobile... no David hasslehoff.
