Actually in Japan the reason Nismo is on top is because of car's like the 180sx, and the S13, S14, and S15's. OF course the Skyline is huge, but because it is a higher end car not everybody over there can afford them, so they relate to the less expensive car's, also Toyota is huge because of all of their old skoo car's, there is also ton's of new skool, but it's amazing the old skool aftermarket over there. And Honda is just Honda, it's the same everywhere, there's ton's of Honda's.

Nissan looks to be a total bitch to work on... VG30DEs scare the ---- out of me...

Suzuki is cool. I've got a Samurai out in my bush that me and my dad pulled the motor from... it was super easy to work on, an ingenius design, really. They also have a cool little pocket-rocket, the Swift GT or GTi... 1.3L DOHC fully balanced and forged everything from the factory... I just wish they sold the AWD cultus here... Man, if I could put AWD on a Swift GTi with USDM parts, I would forget all about Honda!

You think so
Well a friend of mine has a Swift GTi, it's a good car don't get me wrong....a lot of power for a 1.3 liter it's quick and drives really nice. but the 2nd gear is like ---- the RPM dies when you shift to 2nd..ok there is a replacement performance 2nd gear from suzisport, but still, I bitch slepped his gti evertime we raced. And i got a good ol' crx .
Oh well here in europe almost all crx's have the D16a8 or d16a9 or the B16a1 but in the states the swift gti would own a lot of stock crx's.
But I like the completely forged bottom end though.

but hey, everything's got potential. *shrug*

Yeah they got great potential though and fun to drive, just like the CRX.
There heads or top notch quality and I luv the forged bottom end too. If it were a 1.6 then it would have been a beast.
