    Convince me not to buy a HONDA!!

    just a quick opinion on the rx-7 and such though: while i think the rx-7 is a SWEET car and i have driven those at a track and taken through corners several times(LOVED IT) it also has many drawbacks. first those cars are extremely high maintenance and the insurance is SKY HIGH. also finding...

    Convince me not to buy a HONDA!!

    im just tellin you the truth, i mean i did it there is proof. and you can always remove alot more to a car that weighs nuthing to begin with. hey its all good, and i agree i said the honda is a commuter car and i never would have been in the import scene if that was not all i could afford. i had...

    Convince me not to buy a HONDA!!

    if 6 grand including car and everything is alot of money to run 13.83 :shrug: im not disagreein with the fact that honda's are slow, sohc they are ****. i mean i cant stand the acceleration. My car doesnt have the wings or any of that i did alot of weight reduction and put a CF hood on and...

    Convince me not to buy a HONDA!!

    this is true viper. only prob with that guy with the turboed type r engine is the setup. the type r is the WORST motor to run boost on it. hence why in that test someone was talkin to b4 the built type r with a turbo ran a 13. that engine is an NA set up and has EXTREMELY high comp ratio. its a...

    Convince me not to buy a HONDA!!

    that is not true. i drive a hatch with just a b16a and ive done work to it and all but my car is N/A and doesnt have juice. My car ran a 13.83 in the quarter mile. no one takes my car seriously so its kinda a sleeper. i agree though the sound is horrible and they dont look near as nice. my...

    3000GT vs. 95 GT

    the 94-95 vr4's claimed 320 but it was always in question sorry i put that after the 96-99 one. i did look into them as far as the tranny goes those cars had MAJOR problems with blowing the tranny at higher HP. at 450hp a kid in my area(93 blue vr4) blew his tranny 2 days after he got all the...

    How many miles per tank do you get?

    well i get 26 miles to the gallon city when i RIP IT and i get about 36 highway when i drive nice... this is all on 91 or 92 octane... but i also drive a civic now so that explains it.... but it is nice to have a car that runs 13.83 in the 1/4 and still gets 26 mpg when im doin it :D

    tranny and suspension

    thats good to know, thanx. i just rode in a saleen and was REALLY impressed and i liked the hadnling and ride quality. Since you seem to know alot you know where i could get a good rebuild kit for the 5.0 engine(higher quality parts too, capable of handling boost)? i have found some and i found...

    tranny and suspension

    thanks alot, ill prolly have more questions at some point. I do think the singles are better for big power but the twins can be just as big and will make more than enough power for me besides help to defeat all the "lag" associated with a single. why do you not like the saleen suspension?

    tranny and suspension

    thanks alot. i figure the exhaust would go on at some point then i would change to straight pipes later on if i wanted. a guy in my area had his with straight pipes and it actually sounds really good. dunno for sure whats all done to it besides that though.
