buy a beater and put less miles on your xb2, best way to save your money is by protecting your investment, or go i/h/e like everyone else

Not really worried about the miles since my fiance and I work at the same place. We car pool and swap out our cars every two weeks to keep the mileage down on both of ours.

I/H/E is a waste of money on a low compression I-4 that has no tuning options. IMO boost (tubro) is the only way to go on the xB2. Now if I had a new model Civic Si that would be a different story . I/H/E and a supercharger net 240-300 whp depending on the setup.

Graphics.
Ghost shadow paint details.
Air Freshener thingy?
What's the deal with the overhead console? What makes that a good mod (not a challenge, just inquiring )?

"Add gauges left of instrument cluster." So, what do you have in mind?

9.6:1 is "low compression"? What are you smoking? That's pretty healthy in the N/A world.

Yea for a v8. Look up how the high compression ratio is on the honda k20/k24 motors and tell me our compression ratio is good for all motor lol. If that was the case we would make more than 158 hp out of such a large 4 cylinder. The poor head design is one factor but you need higher compression to make power all motor from a 4 cylinder.

Just make sure your escrow closes by the 31st of december otherwise no bling bling. theres a website that fills in all the details on what qualifies. its based on the buying price of your house, your income, etc.. also you have to live in the home for 3 years otherwise you have to pay it back.

I just bought my first home in march so my 8 grand is coming this spring. I sold my honda in july and im buyin a white xb2 after I get the money. My wife may trade in her corolla also and buy an xD.

save that money for your down or boost it before your moneys all tied up in a house like mine!
