When somebody takes a car and builds it to be fast AND RELIABLE I will gladly give it the credit that it deserves as well as all of the respect in the world to the person/people who built it regardless of the emblem on the front. However, the percentage of modified Hondas that meet BOTH of the above requirements is about .001% of the ones running around like idiots with fart pipes bolted on the back and the ones who brag about how fast their XXX horsepower car is but when an invite is given to go to the track the response is "...I can't because the XXX is broken right now", "...I'm still waiting to get the tuning right", or any of the other idiotic things that are constantly said. I think that most people have the same level of open mindedness that I do but when the vast majority of the people that talk about how fast their Honda is are f'n clowns it makes it a lot more difficult to actually pick out the few who aren't.

I'm guessing by the way that you speak with some level of intelligence that you actually have the knowledge to build a reliable and fast import... but if that is the case you are part of the very small minority.
