Honda considers themselves an engine manufacturer above all else and you cannot argue that their motors are brilliant.. so why wouldnt you want to get a honda motor in your non-Honda ?

I have an OPTION2 mag with a DODGE NEON with Turbo B18C conversion.. not to mention all the Mini's rockin B16's and B18CR's in Europe.. perfect sleeper type street surprises//

Bingo

I'm a Toyota Lift-o-holic, but I'm starting to get real horny for an EG Civic hatch project hahaha.

that looks like an awesom idea....id give it about 2 lines of praise and it does make me ponder why a lil more saving wasnt done to get the type r engine but im craving to see how it turns out

Even they got the engine.. they can never get our awesome body shape and set up. Honda = CORNER KING.

It's actually not too far off, although he's running coilovers, and stabilizers. He was outhandling S2000's and an RX7 on track day.

However you put coilovers etc on a little eb or ek or something and whammo. Wow...instant handling prowess.

But yeah, it's actually not too bad. Stock they are terrible lmao.

Its all about the double wishbone front and rear in the ek4/dc2

guys this might sound funny, but i actualy drove a sportivo and it actualy hammers hard, first of all the vtec comes on so hard that the wheel starts to lose control, no honda has that much vtec torque
and i raced a type r, both stayed equal so my opinion is that a sportivo is a very good car for its money

the wheel might be torque steering because it might not have a LSD ?

I would think the suspension setup (far from that in a dc2r) and lack of LSD help play a big part in that! None the less they are good value for money, but not on par with an R or S in terms off refinement (chassis, gearing, suspension) stock for stock, mod for mod.
