You mean the KA20 into a new Civic Si? Wasn't that in SCC like a month ago? I thought it was pretty sweet, the Si is weak on power anyway. It can't keep up with the "performance" models from other manufacturers anymore.

The stock tires and stock brake pads are horrible. Stock for stock it got toasted in that comparo. I still have hope for the aftermarket though...

The brake pads aren't that bad, the main problem is almost completely tire related. Honda has this dumb priority of smooth ride, long wear and low rolling resistance for better mileage.

it seems like a huge waste of time to me. The Civic SI and RSX-S are the same weight. The only reason to do that would be to make a sleeper.
