BUT:

my first time in a turbo car was in a 95 civic coupe w/ b16a (del sol) w/ a rev hard turbo built by in-line (best honda/acura shop in no.va) anyways that **** was CrAzY!

but after a while i decided that i dont want that much horsepower/torque on fwd. i dont like driving str8 all the time. i like turns, which is why i dont want my car to push while accelerating in a turn. which is why most cars over 250hp are either awd/rwd.

so its either way actually

yeah, for this reason i'm thinking about keeping the celi stock and saving my money for an m3 or corvette. fwd just has its limits, and while it would be fun to do a v8-rwd conversion on a celi i would just rather get a car thta came that way.

i figure when i graduate college in a year i can get a 94-96 m3 or corvette for around $15,000

I.d never be without a turbo now.

Any high powered engine, be it turbo or NA is gonna require alot of maintanence. Other than the mods I have done, the Celi hasnt required any more maintanence than the Civic I used to own, and dosnt cost so much more to run.

imo...turbo cars arent as high maintenance as people think...but then again i baby the crap out of my car and hardly go into boost so my oil doesnt need changing that often lol other than the usual checkup every weekend to make sure theres no vac/boost leak and this and that...i wouldnt say my turboed car is that high maintenance
