Anyone I know always makes fun of jdm parts but at the same time they are all about euro parts and dual round grill swaps.

youre on the wrong site if you think people here care about being different. honda tech has a nice appearence and cosmetic section you might enjoy.

and your going to compare building a honda to building a VW? sorry dude, honda will make more power for less money more reliably. so all it takes is pistons and rods in a 1.8t, what the ---- do you think is required to make 500WHP+ in honda? not to mention a 500whp honda will run circles around a 500whp vw
are you ------- dumb or just smoke rocks? have fun trying to get any torque out of your honda. Also being different isnt completely about the exterior. This site used be about doing your own thing and making it work. The more and more i'm here all i see is off the self parts getting thrown on and alot of ------- retards adding to the bunch. This ***** gone down hill in the past 2yrs.

that's just off the top of my head, i just rolled out of bed. do i need to go on?
slow as ----? HA with a wopping $500 in my motor i romped every local car. From built na tegs to mustangs....damn yup they sure are slow....
coil packs are no ------- problem if you change them out when your supposed to. I've never had a single problem and my latest 1.8t has over 100k on it. Also still on stock timing belt which is in great shape.
Also i think most would be willing to pay $250 for a spare key(which isnt what they cost) if it makes your car that much harder to steal. You dont see me having to wire up a kill switch.

Everybody knows your stock b16 sleeves are going to crack at 300whp

Try 550whp being beat on for quite awhile. For how much more you have to pay for rods, pistons, cams, and headwork over what it costs for a honda i can do the same build and have sleeves for the same money.

I should hope you can beat solid 15 second cars.

Well, some of those are 16-17 second cars, but I felt like being generous.

First off, a B16 is a ****** engine; useless in every way. Secondly, those sleeves are good to more power than can be laid down by anything smaller than a 24.5" slick, but detonation will kill anything.

You win uneducated tard of the year award, friend. :1

lol sure...im not defending 1.8ts at all. Just learn to respect all quality work. And those homemade intake manifolds on that vr6 are far from quality although i guess the whole point of this website is to be ghetto for the most part

you're a typical fanboi ******, i can tell that much. i've built 3 different 3-400 whp 1.8t setups, and 3 single cam D's from 280-400 hp. the honda's are by far a more reliable platform, with cheaper parts and better tuning options. the fact that you talk about beating an N/A teg tells me so much about you.

oh, and how much is it on planet fucktard to get a new key cut and coded? shut the ---- up, before i really begin to open up on you. i promise you i will dance ------- circles around you on the mkiv platform. it's a piece of dogshit, bar none. my dd is a 340 whp 1.8t beetle, so i have a little bit of reference here.

before you say another word, post time slips, dyno sheets, or vids. if you can't, don't come back.
