P.S. it sounded cute when it spooled up though. i almost wanted to laugh.

its wierd that my cousins 2.0 civic si is faster then a 1.8 with a turbo. they probly dont run much boost from the factory though.
its the 1.8t. they have a 2.5 also i think that in the later years with no turbo. that should be quicker. the 1.8 cars can go with a little work.
