C'MON! Did you honestly think that's for real? I'm ashamed to see this type of false hype here on Nico ... but then, in their claim it does state "up to" ... :rotflmao Jeezarooz, if I wanted that kind of HP gain I'd just add stickers like the Honduh boyz, and use the left over dough for a case of Monster and some Skittles. :inoutgay:

When I first got my s13 and knew nothing about cars I actually bought one of those. I quickly learned it was bull and threw it in the trash...

if all else fails, whack your bumper with a baseball bat a few times, stitch it back together with zip ties. instant street cred and drift fanboys all up on your nuts.

Yeah, but the difference is that stickers actually add horsepower to the Hondas ... just ask any of 'em!

I just laugh when I hear 240 people bashing on hondas. No room to talk the 240s are the new desired car of the ricer.

If it looks like a racer it better perform like one! :biggrin: Sorry, I bash Honda's because of my past racing days ... it's all in good fun. I've owned a few Hondas in my life ... er, did I say that? :chuckle: And yes, I've seen plenty of wanabe 240's ... sad.

Yeah, all stickers do for 240's is make you instant Drift King...

I see nothing wrong with a good Honda. I prefer RWD, but they're nice when kept clean and they can perform decently when modified thoughtfully. I think their scene is more mature in their tastes than the 240 scene is now...

Tell me this CRX isn't a stunning jaw dropper...

If it has a K-series under the hood, it would undoubtedly rape most 240's and look good doing it.

Always liked Preludes. The lines on a CRX just never did anything for me.

Oh. So you like bonestock looking cars. I guess that explains your sig. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Me? I Actually like cars with nice wheel fitment & tasteful or OEM aero, hence that CRX with it's gorgeous non-rattle canned paint and baller Panasport wheels.

PJ, I've only seen Team Fred cars all stickered up in magazines. They seemed a little over the top, for me... Can you throw up some nice examples?

is that what theyre doing now? i dunno, its been quite a few years but they used to be a great example of what a clean jdm street honda should be.
really, its kindof hard to find good photos anymore because most of the people building eg/ek etc. now are going for a more euro vw style or that "drift" style look. which i dont really care for on a ff.
the more subtle look is what i prefer
kindof like these...
dont agree with wheel choice but the overall cleanliness is what im talking about.

sorry just scanned around, didnt find any legit fred cars...and dont have time to search for the oldy goody ones
anyway, i just enjoy the clean look for ff, jdm body accents, matching sidemoldings nothing crazy.

Those are some hot FF's for sure, PJ. But I think that CRX is hotter. It's like the Z car of FWD cars... who needs a backseat!? Thing probably weighs less than a ton!

Hahahaha ... :biggrin: !

Ok, let me get something into perspective here. I like any car that is done right. I pick on the Hondas only because my old race team's competition was mostly Honda back in 99/02. So to anyone taking offense - again as I stated, it's all in good fun. Honda's a good product; it's the end user that makes or breaks it. :biggrin:

I clicked on the link about Camaro > 370Z just to see what it was talking about. All about OnStar... Of course the Z doesn't have it- its a GM option!

Eh, they're just stupid links generated to pay the bills, right?
