That's pretty decent, plan on running that consistently, or keeping it on 93 for the most part? Also, how are your tires holding up? lol
I plan on running e30 most the time over where Iā€™m living for the summer they only have 91 and then eth so yeah and tires are alright I have absolutely no control turning while trying to accelerate out a corner complete understeer

Thatā€™s the goal to be able to destroy a stock type r with the si having put less money into it than having it bought a type r
Well, maybe on rolling pulls, or the dragstrip, but the 'R' really wasn't built for either of those things, but for the twistys, and it will still leave your Si behind, even in its stock form.
Nice build though, I'm sure your car is fast!???

congrats on the built block purchase. i've been on the 2860gen2 for a lil over 2 years. the only issue i've come across since going big turbo was the ewg bracket breaking in 3 pieces. take care of her and she'll take care of you.

At this point youā€™ve spent more than you would of buying a type r šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
He might be cutting it close coming in just under budget, the market is so crazy right now with prices...an Si with 90k miles is still going for near 27,000 grand. The CTR market is up there too, the ones that are decently priced are higher mileage and prob a little beat on.... 2018Si_NY and I have the same idea lol.... an engine swap would be cheaper at this point. oooh that'd be fun

Now might be a great time for those who paid their 2017's off to trade up to an R. Kinda makes me wish I bought in earlier. Basically getting a free car for a few years at the time you drive it off the lot
