but could it get you laid as much as a porsche? i think not.

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

Since when did trying to make your Honda fast have anything to do with getting laid? ::)
Also, if you're buying a Porsche just so you can get laid, you're ------- pathetic. Some kids at school said they'd rather own a $600,000+ Ferrari then the $125,000 1200 HP/TQ Chevy Chicayne (See HotRod.com) merely because of social status. I don't understand that.

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

thats the whole point of owning a porche. to drive it and have someone look at you and say. WHOA HES IN A PORSCHE!!
or to have some bitch think WHOA HES GOT TO BE LOADED!

thats the german engeniering right thur to get the weibchens.

id rather have my celica all done out to how i like it than a porsche. i dont realy care what i drive as long as it handles awesomely and is fast.

and my crx.. (which I just passed a porsche on a corner)

It's pretty obvious the porsche is going to get you laid way before the crx But hey.. I love it :-*

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

getting laid cause you drive a porsche is only part of the reason for owning one.. you own them cause the way they drive. My best friend's dad (who is in his 60s now) used to race nascar back in the day. All while growing up he had porsches, I think he owned a total of 17 of them or something crazy. He was married, had no urges to go out and get laid (I'm sure he was wild way back in the day tho) but he drove porsches cause they way they handled. Now he drives a kia since he lost his ass on a business he was running and is had a big fall.

I would love to own a porsche 911/993 clone eventually.. first step is finding a ratty 1974+ 911 in desperate need of restoration for a really nice price. Drop in a sbc and start the widebody conversion ;)

hey fuckballs, " the Vet get's em wet " :-* , and Quadnie, if you hate Honda so much, why the ---- are you on a Honda baised website ? not to mention that Porsche drivers got small weiners. ;D

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

oh ---- this is a honda based website? :o

I thought this was a discussion group for german shizer porn!

Damn internet is so confusing.

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

Why is it that Porsche's are associated with midlife crisses and having a small dick?



I personally like Honda's becuase thats what I like to work on. I know them, they're simple and cheap. You can rebuild the car from the ground up with a 10, 12, 14 17mm wrenches. My buddy's Mustang (which eventually caught on fire due to shitty Mustang fuel lines) is a cluster ---- of metric and standard bolts.


And besides my GSR with under $4,000 in it ran a 12.946 @ 113mph on street tires and stock block. There's nothing like being the underdog.

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

I had a 1974 porsche 911 with a 383 chevy with trick flow heads and tpi. I bought it with 100,000km on it and blow up the 2.7l and bought a kit from renegade for the conversion. I was going to put a widebody on it, 94 bumpers and side skirts so it looked like a c2 turbo. Sold it to buy a house I can barley afford and now I have crx with a half built hmt setup. Everyone thoght I was rich when I drove that thing, you would have people in 50,000 ford diesels ask me why I would spend so much on a car, I had about 20,000 into mine??? I love that car!

Re:honda, truly poor-mans porsche?
 

See man, that's what I'm talking about! I think I would most likely go for the C4 strosek kit.. u know the one that clones the 993 (including those phat turbo twist rims). The 74-75 911s are nice cause they are nationwide emissionless cars, just keeps the retail value up. My first goal is to find a piece of ---- ragged out 74+ 911 needing the complete restoration cause like I did with my volvo, I will go thru and gut it.. replace the enterior.. who knows maybe I'll just go for the complete frame off approach and sand blast the chassis (after removing the windows of course).

How much did the renegade's hybrid kit cost you? What parts did you buy? Did you mod the gas tank yourself, what radiator did you use? I've heard the kit bolts in like a breeze and they are pretty comprehensive. The factory gearbox on that car can support up to 450hp with the right clutch.. did you buy that from them as well?

As you can see I'm pretty serious in this, gimme details man ;D
