Heh heh, understood. Back in the day, I bought a brand new 1988 Integra RS 5 door 5mt. Engine sounded like a sewing machine, handling was boring, etc. etc. Until.......

I spent a few bucks on Tokiko shocks all around, I had the front torsion bars adjusted to lower it a bit, I cut (!) the rear springs a tad, fitted Jackson Racing sway bars, header, Bassani exhaust, and 15" rims with 195/50/15s. This was in 1991.

After that, the thing handled like a G**D**n go-kart, .9g, and had razor, razor sharp throttle response. Insane gains in 'fun to drive' for relatively small dough in mods. My favorite trick for passengers was to ride on the freeway at @ 70mph. Then I would have them watch the steering wheel. Literally 1/3 of an inch off of center put me into the next lane. Now THAT'S a connected rack!

If current Honda's react similarly to simple mods, I can understand the fever.

I have the CF side vents that go over the sidemarkers. I tell the ricers that its a venting system for my fake HIDs. Its helps kool down the lights. But I have to drive in reverse for them to work properly :-) Some of the ricers beleive it. Laters Mikal
