Back from the dead

I miss all of you here and just wanted you guys to see my progress. Haters gon' hate.

honda has way more aftermarket support in general then ANY car on the market.. however hondas are only reliable n long lasting if you stay N/A... hondas R not meant to be FI.. i see hondas all the damn time build there car and it'll run great for a weekend then jist blowup..no matter if they did it right or not.. plus hondas don't make torque for s***.. sure there's dudes pushin 600+whp ona honda but their torque is jist gay.. the only engines i ever see makin good power n reliable on FI from honda is there K series engines.. other then that lame.... all in all if your only talkin about a stock daily driven vehicle then yes a civic is cute for a girl.... but perfomance wise HONDA=FAIL

i know this thread is old but yea thats true! i raced my friend in his k20 si civic in the new 3 both stock but we were even the whole time! i was like damn lol!

but yea iv never hated on a honda, there all clean even the crx lol

Your friend needs to learn how to drive a guy I work with has an rsx type s and he's way faster. My mp3 has 140 ft lb of torque mazda 3 has what 120?

Some people make me sad I'm about to get a 91 civic nothing wrong with them untill you throw 20s ugly body kits and neons on them

[chrissharpe]

K24A2
Power: 205 hp @ 7000 rpm
Torque: 164 lbft @ 4500 rpm

I say win

 

[tweety2300]

rsx type s 0-60 time is 6 seconds mazda 3 is 7.5 according to car and driver. so unless whoever it was in the rsx cant drive there is no way the mazda stayed beside the acura.

you can put a k20 in a gutted crx and run 13s. honda is supierior but id still rather have my mp3 any day

 

[chrissharpe]

It's all about the driver's preference.

I'm a huge Honda fanboy and always will be. Should have expected to get flamed though lol. I would ditch those wheels and get some that don't look like you were just browsing at discount tire. Also, that car is a great little daily. If you plan on modifying it any further, don't use the stock single slammer it comes with, d17 I believe...? K series or bust.

 

[chrissharpe]

I already have misc rsx and ep3 parts for a k swap I'm just waiting to find a 6 speed Rsx tranny and a k24a2 from a tsx for the right price. I also have a Chrysler 300c so yeah. I get an asston of compliments on my Honda and I am really attached to it. I did have a turbo kit for it but being my dd and a d17 I sold
It for k swap parts. And I like the enkei's they look a lot better in person

 

[tweety2300]

From my understanding the k20 can make a lot of power with a turbo but like the fs they're limited as far as na goes because they already have a pretty high compression

 

[chrissharpe]

A k20/24 can make up to 300 horses na if not more

 

[719prottege]

Record on a stock block k20 is 850.

Sick man, the wheels I was bashing were the unknowns, the New ones are better for sure.
