Hey just saying whats up. Currently have a 2004 dodge srt4, im trying to save money to move and go back to school so i'm thinking of selling the srt and getting a hatch. Im new to hondas always been an american car guy so i was just curioud what would i need to do to a hatch to make it keep up with my car. My srt4 is in the low 13s high 12s haven't been to the track in about a year so i'm not sure. Well thats it for now just wanted to say whats up and looking forward to learning about a new car.

thursday

thats what i like to hear, i'm looking for a sleeper, not worried about too much show mainly go. Dont want a rust bucket with dents just an average looking hatch with a suprise under the hood. Meet a guy in FL that had a hatch looked completly stock but had like 380whp, i was like that'd be nice suprise alot of people.

i would suggest an 88-91 hatchback, they are the cheapest honda out there that will most easily accept all the common swaps. If you don't like those, move up to the most common, a 92-95 civic, or you can get a crx, all of these are lighter chassis people prefer to put the powerful engines in and don't have problems tuning them (obd0 and obd1 tuning exists =] )

cool good info to know. Another question, what motor is most comonly used for swaps, ive always asumed it was the GSR motor but not sure. I need to learn which cars all the motors come from i guess that would help alot.

anyone know where i can find a list of motors and what car they come from?

I have friends in shops that seriously hate doing swaps in these cars; and actually charge more. Supposedly they're a pain in the ***. IMHO get a 92-95 cx or dx

cx dx and they look better. most are just straight drops no extra stuff. boosted hondas are fun but be prepared it's not the same as the srt4 sometimes hondas break more, at least mine did

You're nuts. Hondas are renowned for there reliability. You must've had a bad tune or something

I did..... i think. he said it was my fault. but when my first tuner tuned my car I didn't have an issue. the new guy screwed it up...no names

thursday

speaking of sohc turbos the 88-91 seems the way to go, of course i am a SOHC guy so what can i say

no hate on the b series, some stuff is just overpriced though
