Though you can turn it into a race car. it is not. Now when you drop a turbo b18 in it and beat your first cobra You will get respect. untill then what do you expect? Your taking up space at the races with a car that doesn't belong there in its current state of tune. Go get some numbers initialy and come back when you got something to RACE with.
Not to sound mean. Racing is great but sometimes the cars out there make no sence.
Its not that the v8s don't respect you cuz you drive a small displacement car. or a imported car Its that your racing a car that doesn't prove there is a replacement for displacement. You can argue all day about it. but untill you have proof on the end of your key chain don't bother. You want repect? SHOW them your Replacement. If you don't have it. comeback when you do.
Happy tunning

now i wanna get something straight
i dont go to the races in a stock hf, i just use it to go to work and school since it gets bangn gas mileage.
i dont go to the races unless i am driving my car to race so i dont go.
and for the b18 turbo, i got something for you next weekend
and around here it is because i drive a little crx that the "rednecks" give me shit with their cars, but it doesnt bother me because id rather build than buy and have some appreciation for my hard work and money spent. and i will be showing my replacement but i have sportsmanship and i dont talk trash to ppl when they beat me or i beat that one teg. all im looking for is some fun. but u got the right idea about it, prove what u got not what ur "gonna have" or "could have". and i will have just one weekend is all i need. and it is all stock body no wings or kits i got no respect for ricer shit and i will put those guys in their place for not spending their money in the right place.
Happy tunning

on another note.. whoever it was that thinks a honda can go faster cheaper than a v8... WTF HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKIN! i love and respect all ends of the spectrum, and have good friends throught as far as teh car world.. and i can tell you some of the nastiest cars are the cheapest.. it does NOT take much $$$ at all to build a badass v8.. especially old cars.. foxbodys, F-bodys... the performance they get for $2000 costs most hondas $5000+ to get too...
in defense of the imports, i spent $600 to get my talon to the point of running with LT1s...
however, it is a known fact, although some of the hardcore ricers will deny it, there IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!
