What can a Honda do?
Okay... I think the ricers have ruined it for me.
Five tier wings and altezza tail lights, and 55 gallon drums as exhaust tips, and light up valve stem caps, and "I shift mad quik yo!!!" And rubber bands for tires... Ugh... Makes me sick...
I know we've all heard the jokes about each sticker being 5 hp and all, but all jokes aside, I wanna know... What can be expected of an all motor Honda?
I fully understand that engines need to breathe, so intake and exhaust mods should go first, and I understand the principle of larger wheels and lower suspension. (Up to limits though... Not dragging your floorpan and riding on 20 inch rims.)
But really... What can you do with a Honda? I know given enough money, you can get anything to go fast... I dunno... Is it worth doing anything to a D15 sedan?

Re: What can a Honda do? (Pele)
turbo, swap, or both. either will cost you 3,000$->8,000$ to do right the first time.. but you can have fun with an all motor honda.. you just gotta beat them like a red headded step child to get movin'.
with a turbo'ed b18 turbo built.. you can whomp on just about anything i'd think.. but personally.. if your never going to be going 234309 miles per hour.. and if your not into breaking the law, or pedestrian's necks... then engine mod's arnt all that impariative. just enjoy the car's relyability

Re: What can a Honda do? (turbomonkeyexpress)
There are alot of cheaper things you can do.. the usual intake/exhaust/headers.. and for not much money you can swap a SOHC VTEC head on, and an SI or an EX tranny for closer gears. It won't be a mustang killer or anything, but it would be alot more fun to drive. Thats the biggest thing.

larger diameter wheels increace top speed but lower acceleration....smaller diameter = better acceleration but lower top speed....id rather have the latter, tire width is good tho, more tire = more traction.
