You have a point there...
One of my friends didnt know what kind of engine the Prelude VTEC that he was going to get had. Before he went to go buy the car he showed it to another friend he was like "DUDE!!! It's a H22!" and the now H22 prelude owner was like "OK...whatever that is..." It's funny now cuz he has some mods done to his h22 and he said "it's running lean".I asked him if he knew what that meant. He had a hard time trying to explain to me what "running lean" meant. I just laugh at him every time I ask him what it means.Now he's gonna buy a fuel pump. But then there are those "other" honda owners that actually know what they are dealing with... There's one guy driving with a H22A in his hatch...
