I beg to differ. This car granted it has some shitty suspension on it handled pretty well in decker canyon this weekend. As much as I tried to break the tires loose it wouldnt give. And this thing has no suspension braces on it.

Given the mod list of my em1 this thing is a new car literally in terms of modifications and it has an LSD Sir-S transmission as opposed to the non lsd equiped y24 transmission from my EM1.

I hope you're joking. Maybe after you've dumped 3-4 grand (maybe more) worth of motor swappage/suspension work. At that point we're not comparing apples to apples. Then again arguing performance aspects of a Honda Civic is kinda silly anyway.

I missed the chassis comment so I digress. I'm partial to EM1's so don't mind the fanboy mentality.

LOL, that comment is funny. My Buick gets props on a Honda site and my Honda still gets flamed. Only on H-T LOL

To 137: Clean hatchy and good luck with it

Have you even read the motor specs of a usdm spec d16z vs a b16a2?

b16a2
160bhp
111tq (estimated cant remember)

d16z6
124bhp
119tq

Sad enough to say I've seen single cams rip on people and I always said if I blew my b series again I would swap it out in favor of a single cam and turbo the **** out of it.

I am basically saving 400 a year on insurance now, a lot more on gas. And parts for these things are a lot cheaper than my em1.

The em1 needed about 5-6 k in maintenance done to it not to mention it needed a paintjob.
