F*ck me, that's ugly.
I reckon it's a Prelude 2.2 VTEC in there, if it's not standard.
As i remember reading in Max Power a few years ago, the 2.2 Vtec goes straight in, i'm gonna say that too, because it looks like a very 'Max' inspired car :)
Bah!
Doubt its a 2.2, not quick enough. Feels quicker than it should be tho
You were reading max power?
I said a few years ago :) I was only young (like, 16, 17 young) and it wasn't my magazine, i parted with no money for it :)
Standard VTi 1.6 makes 160bhp dunnit?
I dunno, still a bit dodgy... :P
Just ask Racers Edge if they built it ;) Or find one of its mags features you lazy irish :D
LOL i told you i'd rather just sit here and have someone tell me :)
in news: snipped-for-privacy@individual.net, "Chet" slurred :
No, VTi started in old shape civic. I think the first ones were in '89-90, so yours must be one of them. I could be wrong, but I have the feeling that some of pre '91 cars had the 150BHP lump used in the crx, rather than the 160BHp lump normally used in the VTi.
Of course it could just be a boggo 130Bhp 1.6i 16v - they were surprisingly sprightly when you poked them.
1.6 16v DOHC D16A, supersprint manifold, gasflowed and balanced
The engine code seems to suggest 127bhp so i think you're right at 130. Its not bad at all tho!
a civic?
You had to ask? I thought it'd be right up your street with the mish-mash of honda parts not designed for the car ;)
OI! at least he's not making a warrantly claim though :P
or is he?
Hehee no, you might have a case but that civic most certainly doesn't!
In case you were wondering, Max Power is very wrong in that count.
