Well, if gay-ness was involved, I think my wife would have figured it out
by now (I hope).

To answer a separate post, "Rafaga" is a Spanish word meaning essentially
the equivalent of the French "éclat". Think burst, pop, bang, excitement.

The Rafaga appears to be basically an Honda/Acura Accord/Saber/Vigor, with
the G20A 5-cylinder engine.

Nice pics here:

However, I cannot find any torque or horsepower figures for this engine.
Odd. Guess buyers of a sedate 4-door semi-luxury car don't care about such
technicalities.

I figure jimmyd must have been given the vehicle by his parents (how many
teenagers would buy something like that on purpose?), so his problem now is
how to turn it into something less of an old-farts's car. In my day you did
that by removing wheel covers and trim, jacking up the ass-end and putting
a pot-leaf sticker on your chromed diff cover. Simple and cheap.

if the engine is dohc, my guess is it could be similar by power and torque
to an accord f20a, which means roughly 150 hp and 140 Nm torque. if it's
sohc, it could be similar to f20a4 from '94 prelude (i don't have specs for
this one, though)...

could be. still, alot can be done to rice up that car, even if the engine
specs are unknown (head lowering, intake polish, CAI...)...
