Re: ITB's are for V8's!!
oh thats great power dont get me wrong, but not enough for me to run my mouth to some vette guys....when that rsx probably has 45k tied into the car if not more including the car.
After crossing the fence and getting a car with "stock" performance, modding the shit out of honda's has lost all appeal to me. For what you get for the price is silly. I just got a underdrive crank pulley for the vette that should add 10-15whp, for $350......if i wanted to add another 10-15whp to my teg.....ha it'd take over a grand(stupid nice hunk of metal ahem known as a header, or hondata+tune).
Got off topic but thats where my mind is now.

I dont think he ran his mouth to V8 guys. If you look at the title and the first post its clear to see that the V8 guys are being idiots. Now adding 10-15 to your teg may cost that much...Why? B/C of you having a B-series. A K is a whole different story. That RSX is built right.
K series isnt that far off, ok so bolt ons make 5 more whp then b series.

Or at least these corvette owners think so. I thought it was funny with what they had to say, especially how ugly they look on the k20. Link http://www.corvetteforums.com/m_27920/tm.htm
And as for Honda's not being cost efficient. You can build a 12 second honda for less than $5,000. I could say the same for DSM's as well... but Honda > Mitsu.

5-10 sometimes even 15
I thought about not modding hondas anymore but to me its so much more satisfying to have a car that wasn't made to "perform" keep up with the big dogs. Ill gladly show you a K series car that could probably keep up with you in everything if youd like.

Re: ITB's are for V8's!!
Not to start anything, but how many 4's need that much torque anyway? I mean c'mon i drive a Honda because the engines are cheap and affordable to maintain/build, good gas mileage, fun as hell, and are light enough for 200whp to really mean something... I love Honda, their engines are beautiful and they output just the kind of power I want when I want, you wanna hate on them... fine, Join the club. Everyone else does. Be it domestic, Nissan, Mitsubishi, hell even Hyundai's. This is rediculous...
