You guys all know I used to owned a honda and I love it. The sad thing is that I hate FWD now. I will definitely go back to Honda if they make the 97up prelude RWD or I can afford the S2000 or the NSX, but by the time I can afford the NSX, I wouldn't buy one cause I can now afford the R34.

Oh, krazy, 1.5 IS a POS...hahaha. 1.6 DOHC up is getting a little better though.

Hold on a sec.. so you are saying that the local jaguar dealer has in stock a reasonably priced and heavily optioned XJ220?? C'mon, now. You'll notice the car got about 5 seconds of film time and nobody drove it. It was just in one particular shot. I'm positive that some rich old guy with a McLaren would have allowed use of his car for what is essentially a quick screen shot and thats it. My point is, it coulda been either car, and both are highly exotic. To those of you not aware: The movie used no fewer than 8 mustang replicas all of which were basically identical, and most of which were crashed.

true the 1.6 is much better. for the longest time i wanted to get a 90-93 integra and swap the b16 because i love that car. when i sold my first s13 i almost bought a 93 integra but i love the 240 more and decided to buy another.:batman

Im gonna have to agree too. The 1.5 suck major @$$. A guy at my old work turbo'd his, no fuel managment that i know of and then put NNNAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWSSSSS on it and blew it up. that and he was pushing 13lbs on a very small turbo. but i have always wanted either a ITR or CTR. I really want to import one just to drive to shows and track. Oh, and did anyone see Signal's CRX. That all-motor beast was pretty damn fast.

I believe they were 17" Halibrands. Definitely not original Shelby wheels.

And one small request from one of your humble moderators: please keep this reasonably on topic and don't turn it into another damned Honda/Nissan thread. Thank you.

swaping out b16 and **** is easy. You should think about doing a B20 bottom end with ITR Vtec head. B20 has about 140ish TQ and ITR has about 200 HP...that will be a sweet setup don't you think?

I think CTR is overpriced BTW.

Why dont you just get a stroker kit for the ITR engine instead of all that custom work. They sell a stroker kit that takes it from 1.8 to an even 2.0.

If you want to see what you can do with USDM honda engines here in the states check this link out: http://www.jgenginedynamics.com/dynotests7

Um, yeah, that would be me. Worthless aside from the killer car chase.
