Stop your internal dialog, and just make the right decision.

The 06-09 Civic Si weigh around 29XX lbs and the xb2 weighs around 30XX lbs, not much of difference in weight, but they do have a good hp advantage (and a 6 speed transmission).

If you want looks over weight savings & performance then you shouldn't even have started this thread.

Honestly, you don't know what you want.

First you want bolt-ons, then you want a turbo, then you want only aluminum piping from TT, then you want only a downpipe from TT, then you want rims. You don't know what parts you want and you don't even know if you're going to go custom turbo setup, and for some reason, I don't think you even know how to.

my wheels are at the right offset for performance i get no rub when railing corners at the track this is why i didn't go aggressive sure it looks nice but when it comes down to it rub is bad the rays are a +40 and the works a +42 maybe i forget but either way its made for handling

ive got the basic concept down but i dont know how to do all the gauges and vacum lines and the tune but that why im having my friend help me.

and i know that i dont know what i want yet cause there so many options i can choose from. everyday i change on what i want. i wanted my car to be hellaflush and have a custom turbo set up.

im not going to run my car on the track or anything and if i were too i deffinatly wouldnt get rims that aren't flush and i would get the turbo kit from TT.

The more you post stuff like this, the less people will want to help you, because they know it will be a waste of their time... at least that's how I feel.

I tend to always try & help those out that have a clue as to what they want. You don't seem to. Sorry, that's just where I'm at with you now.
