Most of the time, these kits improve the performance marginally. For 20 HP you pay over $1000 and void the warranty in too many cases. I'd suggest forgetting the riceburner stuff and get practical. Or (if you prefer) go to your neighborhood tuner shop and fork over a good chunk of your yearly income to that shop. I'm sure the owner would really love your business. |

AFAIK,Honda doesn't do engine performance mods,but optional wheels,spoilers,yes. I guess they figure,if you want "performance",you buy their CivicSI,an S2000,or void your warranty rolling your own. I really miss the Prelude. Honda/Acura really does not make any cars that interest me anymore.They've gone bland. IMO,they are missing the market by not making CRX and Prelude. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

Re: Modifications
SO TRUE ...Honda had a great oportunity at hand ..Honda needs a program
like Dodge's SRT unit. Look at the NEON SRT-4 ..It has stage 1-2-&3 kits available from Mopar through the dealership. You could actually go into a delaership and add that to the cost. Also the ACR package was available as an option. The NEON while not exactly eye pleasing ..Puts out staggering numbers for a low cost car...I mean 1/4 mile less than 14sec ..0-60 in 5.3 sec.....top speed 153 -gov limited..and thats bone stock..ADD a stage 3 turbo and whew..And I hear that the NEON SRT-4 handles very well. Ive been a loyal Honda customer for 20 years but Im jumping fence to the SRT ..Im probably gonna get a used Neon srt-4 or maybe the caliber srt-4 when its out...I mean $20K for a 300 HP car ..260 TQ..sheesh..I currently have a del sol vtec ..iM considering going turbo..but after supsension upgrades and etc. That'll push me up into $10 K or more..plus its still a mushy del sol...Not me Im jumping on the SRT bandwagon..There tuners built for tuners..ALL in factory fresh from...If I could afford 30 grand for an an evo or sti I would but we'll see...Bye bye Honda...PLus too ...all honda engines seem to have very low torque numbers. Anyhoo laytz |
