Well, I have a hard time hating ANY car. Theyre all different, have different strenghts & weaknesses. Not everyone likes or needs the same thing.

Welcome to the site!

 

(PSST.....it was imported from Ohio)

Ha, I always forget that they are all built in Ohio

 

Not all, mine is a Japan model which is shown in my icon.

 

That sucks for you, my buddy had an Rx-7 that was imported from Japan, he got into a wreck and none of the parts for the ones built in America would fit so instead of it costing him $900 for repairs it ended up costing him $2600.

It might be different with the Hondas though

 

No it doesn't suck at all. The Japan built models are the most desirable for those in the know. With a Honda J-Spec, or built in Japan, itis a coveted item. Boy how things changed since I was a young man. Stuff built in Japan was junk kinda like the items we see built in China now.

 

Sorry, I did a little research after I posted, I can see why it is more desirable. I was more referring to the potential rise in part costs for a true import car, but even if that were the case, I think I would still rather have a J-Spec car than one built here.

 

Parts match up, no worries. Buy them at local dealer.

 

Gotta love them Hondas

 

I never saw a dyno on that car, but I'm pretty sure that he had about 375-380 without the juice. It was a nice street build kit. IDK the compression, but the stroking definately brought the torque lower in the rpm range, so maybe the HP #'s did stay lower than I think. I rate cars on torque since HP can become meaningless when compairing cars. Again, no dyno, but 400 ft. lbs. wouldn't have surprised me ..... no NOS. That thing walked away on a Stingray it's first week on the road without the spray hooked up.
