it always baffles me how people get so worked up over someone elses choice in cars....as if the person building the honda sneaks in your house at night and steals the money and credit cards out of your wallet to fund his build
get real dude.....
i think the LS series motors are probably one of the best motor platform's you could modify..thats saying alot since im a long time ford fanatic and im now dong a turbo LSX swap in my Foxbody...with that being said, we all hear people says fords are ****, GM is ****, all imports are ****.......to be honest, not a single one is the "holy grail" of automotive quality and technology and all have had a ton of problems in production and quality...but to call a Honda a piece of **** and you driving a GM or a ford is like the pot calling the kettle black....wether you like it or not honda has had a far more successful reliability and resale rating than any american car manufacture...not to mention more hondas, nissans and toyota's are produced in the US than american branded cars....at least the japanese auto makers are bringing jobs to the US, unlike GM, ford and chrysler..they give canadians and mexicans most of the jobs..

Honda's are junk period....I don't give a **** if you guys like it or not. It takes a bunch of band aids to keep that **** alive and they still don't last. I could give a **** less is one is faster than me or not. You guys act like I could'nt make mine faster if I wanted. I've had a ls7 in my shop for a year now but I enjoy tinkering with the ls6.....and it but hurts the **** out of some of you that it has went 11.1 @ 130......Do you really think it can't roll race with 130mph trap? Is it the fastest ever...nope......but sure the **** is gonna ride and drive a ton better than a heap of **** honda.

I'm not butt hurt at all. In case you ain't noticed I'm just ****** with a stock longblock with 80k on it.....let me know if your honda the way you have it runs to 20k.....I bet it won't make it to 10k. Your probally one of those **** that run around with your bumper off and holes drill in you rearend.

This crap about Honda's not lasting long is absolutely absurd and couldn't be farther from the truth. ANY car will blow up with some jackass driving it and not maintaining the car properly. I don't care what brand it is, if you don't take care of it or drive like you have no sense, your just riding on borrowed time.

Besides that i already said this, your car is fast and really impressive for what it is. But at the end of the day sadly for you the civic is still out there racing cars and bikes out of YOUR league.
Again, that is like me attempting to discredit your car when all i have is a stockish F-body. I don't have room to talk. So IMO you should just shut up.

lol ive owned 3 cars with LS's they take a beating and never skip a beat. But thats with all honda motors. My friends H2B had more engine sludge than any motor ive seen in my life, he ran some marvel mystery oil through it a couple times and beat the **** out of it everyday, never had any issues. When he sold the car to my other friend who know has the piston/rod k on boost that guy through it on 75shot while it was on the all motor tune never had any issue and the all motor tune had a **** load of timing, i know. haha.
