a buddy of mine threw a d15b in his 94 hatch, intake and open dc header and he was all pissed off because he lost to a stock Chevy Silverado.

Its kinda sad how we put quite a bit of time into our cars just to get beat by some ******* in a ford truck
He was so proud of his new motor, threw a rod in his old stock dx.
I had to laugh at him for that though...

i think it will be more fun on a boosted d15/vtec

or

you can get the LS, and then later on when it time for a rebuild you can sleeve it and slap vtec on there... that an idea
