BTW.. it's also always nice to assume that something is cheap and/or crap when you haven't ever used it... and if you have, that would mean that you, too, have driven an import... oh noes... too bad for you.

You can't honestly say that you have ANY experience what-so-ever with the companies that make our parts, since you don't own our cars... so keep that shit out of your head until you have concrete proof.

And with some of these companies, they're the same ones that make shit for your car... so go ahead and say the parts are shit, you'll just be talking shit about your own car as well.

Wow! Reminds me of a time the Ford Mustang forum members used to troll here.

Timeout guys. Lets regain our senses and knock off the flaming and personal attacks. If it continues this thread will be closed and I'll exercise my powers as a Moderator. This will be the only warning issued. So lets be cool.

If I move to a 3.5 pulley would I be better off with Autolite 605's or 104's?

[quote=Dr0pZ0n3]So basically, you just told me that I was ignorant[quote]

I'm sorry, I meant no offence to you. I just meant ignorant because you dont realize how many places and websites that actually sell high quality performance parts for grand prix's.

BTW, I like big long 4-door cars with decent power. I'm not much concerned about fuel milage, however I keep the rpm's as low as possible.

You on the other hand are more concerned about fuel milage. If I wanted the best MPG possbile, you damn well better believe I'd buy a Honda. They are good little cars....

I Rebult a friends honda last summer. 1994 prelude sir with the h22a1 DOHC Vtech. It was a manual and had 200,000 miles on it. Great shape. I was having problems getting the right parts because not all parts places stocked parts for the h22a1 (rare motor or something). Anyways, the owner blew the head gasket, filled a cylinder with coolant, and skipped camshaft timing. I was iffy to do the rebuild since it had so many miles, but he had the money to stick into it. Got it all backtogether (no bent valves luckily) and when I went to put the new good year gatorback belt on, the cogs fit the cam and crank gears, but didnt line up to the water pump gears. So someone had put the wrong damn waterpump in it too. I was pissed, and of course it had to be special ordered. But anyways, got it running really good, and the owner drove it for a year. This summer he wants to sell it with 230,000 miles on it. Even with that high of miles KBB still appraises it at 3 grand. Its unbelievable. Its quite a nice snappy little car. Wish I'd have the cash to buy it from him.

Anways.... sorry to offend you.

I have a 3.5" in my car and am running a set of 605's, no problems.

Sorry guys (Dropzon3)....everyone has a reason they like a particular car, who am I to judge.

[Christ]

None taken, none meant... live, learn, be happy, all that... anyway... I suppose I misunderstood the answer you were trying to get by your first post here, so I apologize for that.

And to add, I never liked Hondas until I ended up with no choice but to buy one.. it was the only thing I could afford that was for sale at the time... I never liked the "scene" that was involved... bunch of kids with mom's credit card buying eBay parts and claiming they could beat "real cars" in all aspects of racing...

It wasn't until I dug a lil further into the "scene", that I realised there are actually some quite intelligent, knowledgeable people in this part of the automotive world... who know alot about not only Honda performance (most times, an oximoron, like Microsoft Works lol), but the performance aspect of many other types of engine and vehicle.

I've learned alot more being with the REAL Honda group than I ever did when I was driving, modifying and tuning "US-built" machines.

My first car was a 1979 Dodge Aspen w/ a 360 Magnum, mild port and polish, truck cam, 727 Interceptor (I believe was the right name) (Torqueflite is the other name that comes to mind) with B&M stage two kit and ratchet shifter with R-lock.

45 second manual transbrake, trac bars, front and rear braces, lowered 2", with Cragar S/S mags, 265/50R15 out back, and 195/60R15 up front.

It was a mean lookin car, had a nice stance, but once the driveshaft front u-joint gave out, and I almost flipped it tail over headlights, I kinda gave up on it... it constantly needed tuned w/ a Edel 650 on top... never stayed quite perfect.

Anyway, that's my story... hope you liked it.

Apologies again for trouble caused, and for the misunderstanding.. hopefully, it won't happen again.

Good One! I'll have to remember it. BTW, I've got XP and its a really stable OS. If you interested in a "copy" let me know. i've read horrar stories about vista. Go Here and watch the video clip. Its worth at least a couple minutes of your day. (good laugh)

Sorry for off topic Bob

Anways, sounds like a pretty Kick@$$ car! Bet it would be worth some big bucks nowadays!

[Christ]

probably... but I'm sure it's romping the Honda in that pic up in car heaven somewhere... after the driveshaft incident, I sold to a kid who promised to finish restoring it... who later ran it as a demo car... I was pissed... but he paid about $2k for it to me, so I guess it wasn't that bad, considering I only had about $700 into it.

[tblake]

stupid punk a$$ kids! Show no respect.... (I'm only 21, so I guess its like the pot calling the kettle black)

I cant believe he would demo it. Must have annoyed the hell out of you.

[BNaylor]

Speaking of Hondas I periodically make jokes about them but I do own one.

"I don't drive a Honda but ride it". Still hard to beat their MX bikes.

[Christ]

It did... but hey... it's just a car.. right?

I can always get another one... as it sits, I"m looking at two more, so I can park my Civic.

Looking at a '94 Civic LX that's nearly perfect with two boxes of parts, and a '95 3000GT that just needs a 1" section of Exhaust pipe, and will pass inspection... I can get both for under $5k... dunno where I"ll park 4 cars tho.


This is REALLY OT right now... maybe another thread is in order?
