No, why would they?

I'm guessing it's all in the tune. Most pump gas builds I see are around 12.5:1, but cams and head play a huge part in what you can get away with.

I've seen a few all motor Hondas that run pretty damn good. Not common though.

All motor 4 bangers are definitely not my cup of tea.

It's got no driveability or low end power, and doesn't hit nearly hard enough in the top end to be worth it.

It's kinda like being forced to wait for bad sex.

That 240 isn't terrible, the rims don't match and the tires are way to tiny and stretched for any type of performance car though. That integra.... rusted steelies? I really don't want to comment on it, I've seen too many like it down here.
Yeah, my best friend is a SC guy. We were putting a '93 1JZ from a Soarer into an black SC shell, but before we finished he sold everything. Now we have a 2001 VVT-i 2JZ sitting in his garage, waiting to go into his DD SC.

I personally wouldn't build one, but I can appreciate the work that goes in and I would give credit where due if one walked away from me.

High strung N/A 4 bangers belong on the road course.

I kind of have a soft spot for N/A 4 bangers. I think it's cool when guys build a 2 liter DOHC VTEC with high compression and ITB's and the likes. They sound so bad *** when your on it! I know of plenty of guys on forums that have gotten 240 WHP out of a little N/A street driven 4 banger.

If that Civic is set up right, I wouldn't be surprised if it ran 12s N/A.

IIRC, he had a nice Ford that would put you in your place.
