I'm in California. Cheap Hondas for days. Come buy one and drive it home.

You can buy a swapped GSR hatch for $2500 if you wait a few months.

edit; Don't even have to wait.

Still, location dependent.. On another note, this thread has gone 2 pages over bickering and the OP has only the 1 post... lol Until the goals are mentioned, honestly, all points are really moot..

Ya. And even the OP said he was probably going to go with a B.

Really, OP and all can see the reality of the D series in these two pages.

Small gains can be had for the money, but it's considered a waste of time and money as the platform has very little potential. Factory already harnessed the majority of the motors potential to begin with leaving very little more for the enthusiast.

Most B's on the other hand have significantly more potential still waiting to be harnessed by the enthusiast.

Agree. Unless you get a free sleeved D block, there's not much point in putting money into it just to blow it up.

I've seen holes in d series blocks because they were cheap to turbo. They were designed for fuel economy, not power. On the other side, I've seen turbo'd and nitrous'd B's that held together, and this was before anyone started tuning ECU's. The B is just plain stronger.
