Not really, K-rods and the bearings that ride on them are -----. You have to stuff units from a nearly 20 year old engine into a K to make it hold okay power levels without shitting the bed.

Re: wish there was truth to this
I'm not impressed. They give it 20 more hp, some fancy wheels, and a body kit and expect it to take on American cars in that price range? SRT-4's would have a field day with that car. I bet even a Cobalt SS would ---- on it. Let's not even talk about WRX's and at the hype-R price range STi's and Evo's.
What Honda should really do is pull up their skirt, grab their *****, and make a real sports car in the $20,000 neighborhood to compete with SRT-4's and what not. And I'm not talking about the S2000, those things are slow.

Dougie needs to beg Derek to set the ignorant thing up to log from an aftermarket wideband via an unused ECU pin, and quit marketing usage of the completely inadequate stock piece as a selling point.
I've been through enough of those cars, Frank, to know what I am talking about. Those things are junk.

:shrugs:
id love to have one. I want one. im probably gonna own one before I leave okinawa.
Not sayin he makes power at 11k, a downshift nailing 11k comming from a corner is 11k in my book. He drove his from the showroom in '03, been rebuilt once due to lack of oil while gymkhana'n in '05...been running the same set-up since then. To say they are junk is a bit much IMO. My guess, people in the states are ------ um up. Just like they did B's when they were recongized in the USDM. The only place ive even looked at is IPS for parts stateside. Open up vtec sports magazine, they rant over the K.

I repeat, I've seen enough K-faggotry to do me. When the good cheap Civic/DA chassis are gone, and the readily available supply of A/B/D/F/H's in good shape has dried up, I'm gone from the Honduh thing. I've already started tuning non-Honduhs, and might have a shot at a freaking drag bike next month.
