#218881 I was at a gas station here in Jersey
Just got a coffee
came out to my car to see anther eg parked next to mine

I decided to wait for the guy because he had a few things done to it
Ls meshies, gutted inside, exhaust, steering wheel

Well the guy came out I told him nice car
He asked what I had done to it and I told him
JDM D15b Vtec swap, With intake header an exhaust
Nothing too fancy

He still has his D15b7
He responded saying,
"Why would you do that? My D15b7 has more power then your JDM 1.5 Vtec"

I was like, Ummm...what?

He said " Yeah the JDM 1.5 had 40 less horsepower then the D15b7"
"If your trying to go somewhere get a GSR swap"

Then he took off.

Maybe he was thinking of the CX engine?

#219019 His b7 might have more power depending on how many stickers he had. Or a maybe a turbo? Most likely he was misinformed but still benefit of the doubt.

I did question if he was misinformed, Not to him but I thought about it
He didnt hesitate to think if he was wrong, He just quickly responded saying
"Why would you do that? My D15b7 has more power then your JDM 1.5 Vtec" ect...

He didn't seem like he wanted to stick around and talk about Hondas
no he wasn't boosted and he had a rotted exhaust (it sounded like he had no exhaust)
and no stickers

I'm sure I, as well as many others, could go on about that site but I'll regress and only say it's one site I'll never join.
I have found good information there while searching the web but I will not participate in the ego fest called honda-tech.

sorry to get off topic a bit. :D :P
