No, I haven't upped the pills, I've got the biggest ones that came with the kit in it now
I think it's finally time to get something lighter, this has been fun though.

I've always wondered, how many of you on TR are of the opinion that it's easier to get an Import to go fast over a Domestic? I've heard a few people like Ron aka qitstrn, say that they do it because they wanted to be different and go the hard route. I really wanted to know how many people actually believe it's easier? Please try to keep this civil as I was not meaning to start a flamefest, just wanted to get a general feel of everyones opinions.
I'm sure everyone can see where I stand on the issue.

I would be more than happy to race any hatch or CRX with a stock motor that has NEVER even had the valve cover off. I like to compare apples to apples, and that's what we are dealing with here. My car is a joke, it was a joke when I started building it, and it's a joke now. All my close friends laugh their fucking asses off with me when it goes down the track. It gets funnier every time I take it out, and especially when I see people spending thousands and thousands of dollars to not even go as fast as me, both domestic and import. Hopefully for their sake, I won't ever get serious about this, but then it wouldn't be any fun

People who mentioned the underdog aspect of import ownership- run what you brung. If you're slow, you're slow, and it's just a loss to a v8 away from being a "so what, I only have four cylinders" ricer excuse.
Again, ultimately domestics will go faster, cheaper. Just accept that fact and keep doing your thing without complaint, or go out and buy a fox body.

Except for repairs, if any, but I dont want to sound like a hater
I give respect where respect is due. If its a Honda that runs 6s, then great, but it still sounds like shit when going down the track
its still faster than anything I ever own, however I personally would never understand the difference in money spent to make that happen
