Default Stupid quote of the week...

vehicle description quote:


This 1991 Honda Civic may not be a street racer now but, it has awesome potential. My original intentions with this car were to do an engine swap. The B series Acura/Honda engines fit nicely in these cars with the correct engine mounts. The B series engines range in factory horsepower ratings from 130 up to 200 in V-tec form and from 1.6L to 2.0L of displacement. With this car weighing in at 2100 lbs with the big V-tec engine in it, that equates to 1/4 mile time slips in the 12 second range without a power adder. That will beat most Mustangs with aftermarket bolt-ons. Just add a turbo or some juice and this thing would be sick!!!

No it's not. The NEW Crv engines are 2.4L Vtecs, and they won't fit in there without some SERIOUS modifications. He probably meant a CrVtec, the old Crv engine fitted with a Vtec head would be considered a 2L Vtec engine, far from stock though.

What he said isn't all that far off, will a B16, the right bolt ons and a decent driver it will beat GTs. The kid is probably a tool, but what he said isn't all that bad, the way he said it is a little questionable though.
