Nice, I hope that I will chat with them
Hm, yes-but similar, I think not exactly, some cosmetic details are different... but yes, and both are manufacutured (as I know) in England... I love JDM and 'Made in Japan' but I say, its hard to find and its too cost... for example, the car like my, you may choose 1.8 - 115HP, 2.0 - 136HP and 2.2 - 147HP, but at market you can find only 1.8 non VTEC, yes-I don't have VTEC [&:]
When I see yours V6 and V8 engines (in Honda) I almost cry [8D]
Here you can find V6 only in old Legend models... [>:]

I will post some more pics and videos if you like

V8s in Hondas here? Do enlighten me on that.

And very few of the V6s in the US cars are worth their weight in gold.

(I don't know everything about cars, there or here, that's way I'm here on forum to learn more)
So... V8 you can't find in Honda for American market? (I see on youtube, but that obviously was a swap or something like that...or fake vids...)

-to jcocker, well, just like i told, I don't know lots about cars and mechanics names, I think that V6 is 6 cylinder, and V4 a 4 cylider... obviously I mix some word, and now how I then call my engine with 4 cylinder? brrrr...

I do not know of any Hondas except maybe the ridgeline(not even sure that comes with one) that have V8s.

He is saying that a V4 is the incorrect term for it. V6 an V8 and V10 etc refers to the pattern that then pistons are in. But in Honda 4cyl the pistons are in a straight line not a V formation so the term V4 is incorrect(Back in the day Saab made a few V4 motors so they do exist, just very rare).
