Broooo get a fa5 and just do a PRL turbo kit and once you hit 550whp ish you’ll be putting cars on fbo e85 gtrs. If you need a reference check out @boostleetuned
As someone who currently owns a g and owned an 8th gen SI, if it’s your first “sporty” car go for the SI. A lot more nimble and easier to have fun in. G is also a ton of fun but if it’s gonna be your first manual/semi quick car def start with the SI
Jeez that body damage sucks. Suprised it's not totalled. Why buy all these upgrades on a car with damage like that? Guess g/z are the new civics. And FYI u won't be pushing 500whp on stock internal DE motor safety
