Very cool!!!

I think I know what it is... HAN Classifieds?

I am thinking of getting an older Miata as a track car, then getting a pickup to haul it. That or buy a Formula like car.

Road trip!

It's a 1989 Civic Si with 120k miles. Picked it up for about $1200. So it will get me through the winter and then convert to STS/STX car and maybe SoloI and MAYBE Honda Challenge.

I've always liked the 180SX. I used to like the 240SX SE but it's too porky.

cool, after rocking that B16a in your car I think you're going to get pretty annoyed with the D16A6.

Actually the b16 and the d16 both have the same torque. But the delivery of the torque on the d16 is better. Plus you can't beat lightweight. 2400lbs vs a 2100lbs. The limit at which I can get my car down to is about 2300lbs max I think. Guys who run Nationals have their 1989 Civic Si's down to 2020lbs.
