I never bought anything at that price, I simply looked up the cheapest battery Canadian Tire had, and the price was 85 bux.
I'm pretty sure i'm Canadian, atleast I was the last time I looked. I have polar bears in my backyard and I end every sentence with "eh", so i'm guessing me in my plaid wardrobe must be Canadian...Eh.
 
Its funny to talk to people from the southern united states, and tell them that you live in an igloo and hunt seals to survive, and they believe you.
Swizz cheese? We don't have swizz cheese in Canada, because the milk freezes before it leaves the cows utter.
 
thank god I'm not from down south then... but the plaid wardrobe comment was pretty funny. reminds me of kids in the hall.

Kids in the hall is classic. That one about the shark with a soul always makes me laugh.

MugenVTEC - I live in Canada too. I'm not makin fun of it, i'm just making fun of the stereotypes people have of it.

toyomatt84 - Nice ride. I've driven my friends Si (American EX I believe) and it had some pep. Whats that hanging off your rear view mirror though?

I want to move the battery to the trunk anyway... There is enough room under the civics hood I just want to take weight off the front end.

Try to remember every pound you take off the front, while balancing the car better, takes weight off of the front wheels, and they'll spin easier, off the line and through turns alike.Anybody thought of a functional ram-air hood, and setup?more expensive, but it works great
 
When your weight ballance is as bad as it is on a fwd car any weight over the rear can help. I'm not worried about wheel spin I'm not a drag racer. I care about handling.


and I have given thought to a ram air hood. A subaru wrx style scoop feeding air through a box into a set of ITBs. The performance gain would probably be decent but it would look way to ricey and wouldnt be good in the rain so I decided against further thought on the subject.

I know it'll improve most aspects of handling, I'm simply saying, if you take your A/C out, as many do, and move the battery back there, that's about 100lbs, off the front wheels, which will help corner entrance, and mid-corner, but exiting quickly, while accelerating hard, it will increase wheelspin, making you possibly not able to apply full-throttle out of sharper coners, that's all. P.S. While I'm not a fan of ricey myself, I would never be afraid of something looking rice, if it's functional, or I really like it, plus, isnt it not ricey if it's serves a purpose? it's up to you, I'm just throwing thoughts around
 
If your considering a ram air hood, wouldn't removing your one head light work the same way?
Plus, anything added to improve air flow into your intake could be removed once you leave the track, and your original headlight could be reinstalled for daily use.
Nothing rice about that.

Actually they do sell the Si in the US, but I don't have one. And, I don't have anything hanging from the rear view, but I do have a Radar Detector just beneath it... for "safety" reasons. :D j/k

Consider the aerodynamic loss of a missing headlight. Also, consider the convienence of not having to remove/install the headlight. And, assuming you like a ram-air hood that fits your car, consider the looks it can add to it, all the while boosting performance, along with the fact many people have ram-air hoods. Very few have functional ram-air through that 600 dollar hood

Where not talking about McLarens Prelude anymore right?.. i didnt think they even had perminant headlights,

As for the aerodynamic loss, I think if you got a spacer which would fill any gaps, the force of the air going into the pipe would boost performance, which would eliminate the feeling of the drag.
 
what, huge bulge in the hood taking in air isnt going to cause drag? :rolleyes:

In Canada, the SI is a coupe and an hatchback, and the EX is a sedan (4 doors).

You're a retard. The SI model is canada is our american EX model rebadged as an SI. :rolleyes:

I guess the point would be that proper Ram-Air is sealed, sp33 has a reasonable solution, but car's with one headlight look rediculas, plain and simple.Don't they have an SI-R or SIR in Canada, that's the same as the American SI? And assuming they are, wouldnt the SI-R be the only hatchback?
