Please stick a sock soaked with gasoline in your throat and set it on fire.

by a b18b and see how you like that then put a b16 head so your vtec will scream with the bottom end of the b18 and the top end of the vtec(b16)you should have a fast ass ride. or u could just by a obd II gsr and you will still smash.
