I dont know if its because i havent driven my accord in over a year or what. Last night i took out my friends 87 LXi for a test drive to show him how to speed shift. MAN was it fast! I was really suprised! It has good pull through the first 4 gears (thats as far as i could get before i had to slow down). It easily got up to almost 100 in 4th. There isnt anything done to it but man o man did it feel fast. It sure was good to drive a 3G after putting around in my 78 'flying turd' toyota wagon!! Makes me want my car back even more! grrrrr

I'm gonna help him build a CAI and try to convince him to get exhaust. He doesnt wanna spend a couple hundred bucks to get exhaust right now, but i may be able to convince him....

aww Why not!! What is wrong with your car anyways? I remember reading something about some front clip damage, but I don't recall anything about your engine.

oh believe me, i'm working on it. I've got a connection to a guy who's worked at a honda dealership for 20 years that supposedly knows quite a few secrets on how to build our motors. Me and a friend are gonna have a top secret project and see what we can come up with. I mentioned something in another thread about boring .50 over (is that possible?) and using Chev I6 forged pistons............

jeez... i wouldnt mind a swap, i am planning on a turbo a20a3! if that really sucks, i can always do a b18 or b16 swap, and the only parts i will have to buy that are different are a b series turbo manifold, a new downpipe... and prolly little knick knacks!

a turbo would deffinately be tyte as phuck, but right now it seems pretty complicated. more so then most turbo installs.......who knows though. I wanna see how much hp i can get from a n/a a20a3. maybe using a little happy gas tho......if i sell the shit, i might as well use it, huh? :lol
