They should of made a Hybrid Model, and a performance model.

I'm more interested in newer fords over these hondas...

 

I don't think you can classify a TL with civics, CRX's, integras, etc...

 

Interesting that people with RWD do the same exact thing. They do engine swap and modifications as much as FWD owners do. And also What I just mentioned is not new. It has been done since the beginning of time. Do not put words in my mouth. I specifically said I was tired of seeing the same shit being done all the time. Some1 to take this body style and swap in a motor has never been done yet. Probably because this car isn't even sold in the states yet. Be unique and step out of the Hondas ?? Hmmm let me guess I should get a Mustang or how about a Camaro. Does that sound better... Oh no wait let me get a dodge neon, or a Ford Focus, Better yet how about a BMW. No1 owns those or mods them right ? . Looking at my signature should make you smart enough to know I am unique.

 

def. not. I would rock one of those Type S TLs anyday
heck i'd take the base model. Luxury ride, not a Civic ride

 

Who is they ???? Seriously point them out... Who is they that said dropping a Swap in this shitty looking vehicle would be sweet ? I bet you couldn't name 5 people on this website that would say swapping out the motor in this for a b series, or k series would be sweet. If you did then fuck me, but I'm willing to bet the world you couldn't.

 

Same here.... Next car I'm getting is gonna be an 04-08 TL... type-s or base. I'll eventually work my way to the type-s lol.

 

ya got me. I totally bought a 4 door heavier version of the Accord just for the idea of swapping it and making a 9 second car. I was hoping I could slip that one past, but you guys are just too smart for my tricks

No in all seriousness, I bought the car as a commuter, bc after working on h/a for 8 years, I can tell you this much: if you dont mess around, H/A's will run forever. 160k on this one. It's just here to tide me over til I sell my house and get my next toy

 

exactly. Ignore the question.. Thanks bro..

 

getting all worked up over a honda, relax man.

In these parts, I'm an old man, I've been around building Hondas since 97-98 - before TR even existed. I guess you'll just have to trust me, but when the Insight was released in 99, all the Honda ppl were stroking themselves at the thought of swapping in a B series into that 1800lb (wet) chassis. I agree, the Insight wasn't built to moisten panties, but if you can't do the math on 1800lbs + 200 plus HP (and I'm sure you can) then we probably should just end this right here

 

I'm not getting over worked over a Honda. I just don't think its fair that you are only putting Honda into a category by themselves when every other make and model is modded/swapped to hell. There were three styles offered for the Insight back in the late 90's. Just incase you have forgotten I will refresh your memory. MTX with ac 1880lbs MTX without ac at 1850lbs and the CVT with ac at a whopping 1960lbs. If you consider yourself an old man because you been in the game since 97 or 98 I feel sorry for you. That isn't even close to old school and at 1800 pounds why settle for the insight when you can get yourself a first gen that is 1500lbs. It's 300lbs lighter then the insight so you do the math. 1500lbs +200 HP (I am almost certain you can). Even a 4th gen that is around 1933lbs for the HB or DX hatch which isn't that bad + 200hp is still great.
