    I like hondas, and I enjoy building them, but noone wants to pay the price to build a car that it costs..... They can just click buy it now and build what they want and be content...

    Thats why I work on more S2k, Evo,Sti, SRT's, BMW, G37/370,VW now... They don't mind paying because they want quality work, and quality parts and power.

    I am building myself a "race" car, but whats the point, there will be what 4 drag races. I rather go road race. You can do that every weekend if you want.

    Example. Honda customer bitches about 250$ to replace a clutch (labor)
    Evo customer says oh its only $600-800(labor depending on rate). WOW THANKS

    That is true although you have kids taking that cheap mentality (Its called Honda mentality but I hate that because I used to own Hondas and spared no expense when I did) and buying used S2K's, Evo, 350/370's etc and they do some trendy shit and the first time they have to
    do any real maintenance they either half ass it or sell the car and go back to owning a Honda.

    The trendy stuff/cheapos will have a small percentage in the higher end cars.
    While the trendy stuff/cheapo to $$ in the honda/240 crowd just increases exponentially.


    Everyday I get people crying about tuning rates, WTF is wrong with people that they want to skip the most vital step in performance....They rather get a "basemap" and ride it for a while.... THEN if their car fucks up on a "basemap" they cry and moan about it...
