What do you guys think....?

I never said ls/vtec was "so great".... what I said was the setup and repair parts would be MUCH cheaper.

Also my main suggestion to him was NOT TO DO ANYTHING... Just get something simple and work on it over time...

He's NOT going to end up with a good car NO MATTER HOW MUCH money he throws at it unless he strikes a lucky streak like NO other.... He's young in-experienced and probobly TOTALLY incapable of handling what he wishes he has....

Building, driving, and racing cars is something which takes a LONG time to get even CLOSE to being prepared for... especially given a project of the magnitude he's talking about...

Ever heard the term walk before you run?

I mean for christ's sake he's got a pacesetter exhaust set up... they LOSE power over stock...

He should turbo the motor he's got... he could have a reliable d series turbo set up for like 2-3k.

The setup he's talking about could make like 500 + hp.... I mean come on...

OPAK are you really looking to have a 500 +hp car???? and if so... do you really want it to be a front drive civic???????????

For the money you'll spend to get this accomplished you could sell your car and build a much better platform. and on top of it all you won't have spent ALL THAT MONEY just to be ANOTHER KID from Cali with a type-R turbo civic... I mean that's the saddest part... at least where I'm from I would be close to the only one.

Ya highlander lots of rambling and no content... RIGHHHHT....

and WHY would piston/rod install cost more on a c1?
