dee da dee

a factory turbo car can last just as long and be just as reliable if people take care of them and dont treat them like a damn drag car

A turbo Saab will last for at least seventy jillion miles if you ack rite O0

Re: Do you ever get sick of the honda thing?
 

yeah I gave a bad example. Anything touched by a ricer is going to be hard to work on. And that particular car had been owned by three in a row.

Re: Do you ever get sick of the honda thing?
 

definately, i got sick of hondas after 2 years, when you make any sort of decent power traction becomes an issue. theyre like tins cans, light weight and can be made quick with little power. Torque also sucks, low end torque is fun, its nice not having to rev the engine high up to make power. Another thing that got me away from them is safety. They crumble so easy when theyre hit, even if the hit isnt that bad. Dont get me wrong, those hondas making 300-400 or 500hp are some kick ass cars. but its just not my cup of tea anymore. RWD is way more fun. i like being pushed, not pulled

i have to add + fun... anyways how can you get tired of all these properties seriously? is not like all the people in here are making race cars; most of us is doing it for pure love and fun, most of us dont have thousands of dollars to throw away... and away if we were to build a super race car i would start getting a RWD not a civic. but again Hondas are just such a reliable cars for anything that it just make them unique.

Ive yet to get tired of working on HMT'd Honda's. Part of it is you get to be very familiar w/ all the diff. engine combinations, trouble shooting them, and fixing stuff. Stick w/ what you know.....its easy.
Id love to do another project car that isnt a Honda though. A RWD mid 80's Supra would be pretty sweet, or an early 90's MR2.
Ultimately, the choice car to HMT would be this:

67 Nova II. Fuel injected, w/ twin snails. Pure sex.

I like Honda. I also like the 'Yotas and I grew up with SBC's. Honda is fun, easy to work on, parts are cheap.

Re: Do you ever get sick of the honda thing?
 

You also forgot the theft part.

Re: Do you ever get sick of the honda thing?
 

I've always had honda's since they were cheap and easy to work on but once my hondas started getting broke into and just got tired of them and wanted something different. Now I haven't owned a honda in over two years and it feels good. I don't think I'll ever go back to a honda or maybe until a S2000 comes down to my budget(3-5k). So basically I won't be seeing a honda in my driveway for quite a long time. :P I have my 280Z and my Galant VR4 and I'm happy. 280Z for the summer and the Galant for the shitty weather since it's AWD. I have to say that I pulled my first engine with a honda so it's basically what I learned to wrench on.
