Good for 0-60 in about 5 seconds flat (thats only an estimate, I've never taken the time to do do any real testing), haven't dragged it yet, so I dont know its quarter mile time, 160 MPH topspeed... No, dont ask where i tested its speed... cause your not going to get a strait answer.
To be honest, I only read the first few posts, but I figure its a good idea to boast about my car 
and.. get this: No decals, bodykits, no 500 lb sound system, no rice. Its all about performace, baby.

Props to your ride!
You sound like the only real Import Tunner in here!
I have a 2k EBP Honda Si that's been my project car since I bought it and I have prety much the same MODs. Just waiting on a new T3/T4 to replcae my 18g pice of crap Greddy turbo I had on it.
Just like real tunners, Sans Rice. No System, but almost as much REAL Carbon Fiber as a Mclarren F1!!
The power to weight ratio is deff. a key point.
The torque in the car is almost equal to the 315hp it put out last run on the dyno, at about 15lbs of boost, which really makes a majopr difference on the road, track, and highway.
I took a few webmasters for a spin at the last August Internext show, and they were quite impressed that this plain looking Honda Civic Si that rolled out of the Diplomat Valet, was womping on just about everything we met on the SoFla roads!
So much so, they thought about building one as a project.
But besides all the Mods and Balls it may posess it's still "JUST" a Civic.
I couldn't get Aria Giovanni in it if I payed her as much as Andrew Blake or BoneProne Fam!!
Now if I pull up in my 650hp Boosted M5 in August, I just MIGHT have a chance.
As everyone with car sense mentioned, put any of these sport compact cars up against a highly tunned Supra, or Porshe, and it's all over!
But it sure is FUN!
