War against muscle!!! Let's show them!!
What's up, In a little town over here in Texas where guys go crazy about mustangs and camaros. It sucks cuz they tend to make fun of cars like mine. I own a 93 Prelude non-vtec and with just a few mods I've beaten some 5.0's. It might be that they don't know how to race or something but I'm staying with my 4-banger. I'm going all motor so it's a way to represent Hondas and show those American Muscle lovers how it's done. I'm building an H23 with an H22 vtec head, bumping up the compression to over 12:???? with some JDM type s pistons, 73mm thotle body, full 2.5 inch exhaust w/o cat. cold air intake, RMF headers. eagle H23 rods, maybe Hondata s200 w/P28 ECU. 10.5 mm racing wires. AEM fuel rail. 8lb flywheel, stage 2 clutch, short shifter, flat-face titanium valves and springs, type s camshaft, camgears, light-weight under drive pulleys. that's about all the mods I can think of, any suggestions would be great since I'm challenged constantly here at work by idiots driving v8's. I'm not a professional mechanic so any help in building this car would be appreciated, I got most of the stuff covered on how to H23 vtec but I'll post my questions about how to finish the project as I advance. Anybody with some good v8 ***-kicking stories? lol !!!

I'm in TX too, and for me it's not about 'Import vs. Domestic' or anything like that...a good car is a good car no matter what and there are cool people and there are pompous douche bags driving every kind of car.
Research as much as you can before you start doing stuff to your car.

I would go with a 12mm plug wire....cuz you know bigger is better
and RMF makes headerS
wow I didnt know that. I know RMF makes a header for the prelude, but two, OMG you are going to be super awesome racecar driver!
When you get these parts and put it together come back and talk up your build....until then your jst another Honda Fanboy with a dream.
and your h23 with a few mods beating up on 5.0's...Ha, they probably were just laughing so hard at you wanting to race them they never got off the line, or figured you arent worth the fuel.
grow up, search a lil, do your build or ask questions about your build, dont do a whole verbal build up before getting to the meat and potatoes of your thread. Ask your questions or get the fvck out
I consider this a hi Im new thread and think it should be deleted

I know its sad, but i feel the same way about these "American Muscle" cars. lol
I absolutely hate them...dont know why, just do.
But hey, theres no way you could take a 5.0 with your 93 Lude, I love the cars and all, but almost bone stock, theres no way in hell.
Its kinda like me, and my...rather dissapointing story...lol
I was driving along and got in the turn lane, and in front of me was a ford escort, it was a shelby build or some ****, weird to me, cuz ive never seen one. Anyways, i zoom up next to him and we pull up at a red light, and i take off like a bat out of hell, and i thought i was racing, then he pushes on the gas lmao! I heard that turbo kick in, and he was gone. It was humiliating, but what can you expect from a bone stock 84?

Pretty-much.
It's bad enough there's rice-wars on Cardomain and Streetfire, don't bring that crap here.
There always that one guy every few months who comes in here and runs his mouth with that anti-domestic crap. Take it somewhere else man.

x2 i love domestic cars too. actually im a fan of any body that will put there own time into a project no matter if it 4 cyl or 8 cyl. before i really new how diffucult and time consuming it is to do things yourself i was single minded as well. once you put your time and effert into your own build you will start to respect all aspects
