I just kinda browsed around the HTech forums and i came across some amazing hondas, I think the forums bring out all the well done honda's some of the G's with the riced out ones prolly dont even have a comp.

anyway,I came across this thread and was VERY impressed. this guy has a skyline, evo, REAL ITR, real rsx type R(really integra, but i didnt wanna confuse) and he's totally cool. So i guess there are good honda people out there.

and yea, thats a steal on the suspension, that the thing about the secondhand honda aftermarket, its ALWAYS moving, so its easy to score some stuff for pretty cheap.

TURBO > all motor

yea it does, the strips and the way the lip sorta flares out in the middle like that.
thank you.... lol....

sorry Nate, but I have no faith in your little LS/V N/A running very fast times at the strip.... lol.

Turbo it, and yeah, you might have a chance.... but even then, have fun. I know of an LS/V with 15psi and running 13.8's.

I would love to get an ACTUAL rsx type R

or have an rsx and get lots of rare parts (jdm or not) and do it up. I could deff be cool with that.


I think turbo'ing is the way to go, but it wouldnt be easy, you'l be having to update maps every other week-BUT-its gonna give you some torque. Thats my prob with hondas, they can be superfast but you wont feel it, you'l just see the tach and speedo swinging and hear a loud niose. Your not gonna feel that push.

At least with a honda you can beat the living shit out out of it 24/7 and it wont break, haha, I def. miss that about mine. The saab seems to pop something everytime i step on the gas......not fun.

But im taking a break from the honda game, prob. go back to a subie after this car.

I'm goin for the same exact lip kit for my honda too......fuck the body kits they all suck and look way too ricey!!!!. I have faith in the honda Nate's buildin....sure it maybe a honda but who gives a shit, there's so much stuff you can do to them to make them run awesome times on the strip. Nate keep up the good work man i definitly want to see some pics.

haha those vice grips are piece of shit 6 dollar ones...thats what happens when the asshole previous owner strips bolts when putting in altezzas.


more to come when the suspension is in...gotta wait on the lca's...dout they will get here by this weekend unfortunately
 
#28 ·
glad to hear you're ditching the altezzas, i haven't seen a single car they look good on.
your saab was tasteful so i don't expect you'll have a riced out honda :p
you should get a type R motor swap with LSD :D

usdm si with lasd has been pretty good...ctr's is awesome but insanely hard to find...for straight lines i think the itr lsd will be fine...only thing better is quaife really.

i just hope my lca's get here quick i want my damn coils on!
