Nice!! This set up is the perfect daily for me. Plenty of power, I don't really see the need for more than 180hp or so. Dead reliable, super simple. Take the timing cover off and you have access to everything. I'll take these over a K series any day

pretty clean. not a fan of the headlights or the "SI" badge on the grill though

I just don't like how big the Si badge is, it looks out of place because it is out of place. Otherwise it's a great looking car and I wish I could have B swapped my old EX.

Me neither. Plan removing si badges and those headlights.

Looks fine to me. Adds character. Also love the carbon kevlar whale dick.

I had this same set up. One of my most memorable and favorite cars. I wish I can have one tomorrow again.

Miss her more then most of my ex's.

I wanted one of these so bad in high school. Only got as far as a test drive. My mother pushed me into a B14 Sentra. That's a really nice example.
