1) take out that engine
2) get the engine out of a suzuki something or other, a DOHC 1.8 with booooost. (either that or a 1.6 i forget)
3) enjoy.

they arent expensive my friend got his cheap, like a 1000.

how bout you do this:
1. take a bat and beat the ---- out of that waste of metal
2. throw a handful of miscellaneous bolts and nuts in the
crankcase
3. drive the car into a lake
4. call the POLICE and say someone stole it
5. take the 3 grand you get for that piece of ---- and buy
another HONDA



or you could waste your time and money on a worthless "sleeper" that will get smoked by almost eveything on the road

There's a 10 second Geo Storm where I live. That 'waste of metal' would lower your self esteem a little if you raced it with your girl in the car. Just becuase its not a Honda doesn't make it worthless. Come on if we all drove the exact same car we would be COMMUNISTS!

BTW: He already has a turbo Honda

i guess your kinda right, i already knew he had a turbo honda anyway, but 2 is better than one, plus those cars are just so ridicuosly ugly, i wasn't saying anything thing in a bad way, if you wanna spend the money, by all means go ahead, i was just giving my input on the topic, that is all
