wow ive lost 5 mintues of my life reading some of these posts.
So you come to a Skyline forum and ask questions about Honda power?
They are reliable, they are cheap, they are a tight ass way to get ok track times, parts are cheap.
They are boring to drive, they sound ugly, they are Front wheel drive, Decent around corners but once those front tyres slip your next stop is a pole.
There is a reason they are one of australias most popular "family" cars, a civic gets compared to a carolla, need i say more?
If you want fun with your car do not get a honda, if your on a budget then you may not have a choice...
Also forgot to mention i'll forever associate you as Hektor in fast and the furious with his bloody spoon engines.
In summary they are decent cars, but you are on the wrong forum
