Excellent choice! Financially speaking, buying the CTR or the Si end up being similar over the long run. Just don't trade up for a CTR with your Si or you'll lose a lot:

This is short notice, but is anyone on this board going to the Gingerman raceway Honda meet tomorrow or Sunday? Let me know. I might show up later in the evening on Saturday or drive out Sunday.

Clark, I drive an Si, and I know you drive a CTR, but what front/rear camber settings would you recommend for street driving for some better turn-in and response? Are there any generalities between the Si and CTR?
A money thread, my favorite!
1) read the thread I wrote (Wise or Unwise: Redux in my signature) for a fun time
2) if you don't have the attention span to read, utilize 24-hour test drives (CarMax) if you can, or go to the dealer and test drive the seat by sitting in it for 1 hour ("I have a bad...
I'm at speed, heading east on Cascade out of the city. I pass Whitneyville and pick up the pace into the countryside. It's 7:30pm. The sun is at my back illuminating everything in a golden glow.

What's your budget? My mod priorities list for you:
PRL RRM
Tune + PRL Intercooler
HPT WOT Performance Cool Plate (you're in FL, you need cooling)
skip cold air intake unless you want whoosh noises
skip exhaust unless expensive noise maker whiz-pop-bang
skip charge pipes (not necessary for your...
The problem with having a fun daily is I want to joy ride both my sports car and my Si. My next daily needs to be the most boring, plush, npc car so I don't drive around for 2 hours on a Friday evening in both cars.
idk man, Car and Driver tested the Prelude and it's slower in Sport+ mode compared to normal mode because the fake shifts produce less electricity. Honda's going to have to do something about that. For performance, I'd prefer a mild-hybrid system like in the Germans compared to Honda's hybrid...
I press in the clutch and turn the key. The engine ignites. I shift into 1st and pull away. The motorās cold, Iām taking it easy. I shift into 2nd. The revs climb and I shift into 3rd. I take the next curve and my speed keeps rising. Thereās slower traffic up ahead. I downshift and take a right...
It's June 20th, the longest day of the year. I'm having fun blasting around the countryside in my drop top. Maybe too much fun.
Something starts creeping in from the floorboards and enters my feet. It starts rising towards my chest. It knows that I'm having fun, maybe too much fun, and that now...
No, but I visited the Big Island when I was 12 and it was really cool. My dad was into Iron Man triathlons back in the day and we did a tour of the whole island including driving up to Mauna Kea observatory. That's where you should hoon your CTR.
My Geoguessr skills coming in handy. I even...
Props to your photographer/editor, this is an amazing shot.
How many miles of good roads are there in O'ahu? Ever ship your car to the Big Island and drive Mauna Kea?
As I sit inside my house because this March weather stinks and because thereās still a lot of salt on the roads, I canāt stop thinking about my sports car and how much I want to drive it. Iāve decided to direct my thoughts to synthesizing two things that I think about all the time, cars and...
