Eitherway, you still fail.
A couple of SR20s would pull a premium before racewars :run:

but wait.... b16a has vteackekkakckcachcchhhh plus it makes 160 hp and b18b only makes 140 hp :hsugh:

Putting in a B16 that makes less torque than your old motor, makes perfect sense. Skunkworks did use a B16, but that was a fully built purpose car.

you shouldve swapped in the tranny from the B16 instead of the engine.

Now me being new to HAN, I think I missed something... Why such dislike toward b16's guys?? Enlighten me plz
Ummm, so... Explain to me what makes it a GSR again? Because it's the motor that makes the car, not the badge on the back.

It's not that we don't like B16's. We don't like people that come on and talk about something like they know it all when they really don't know shit.
