    Default ok, ive heard enough

    okay, every day i hear shit about jdm vs usdm.

    it may be obvious im not an expert on cars but i know enough to say this.

    people bash on hondas and what not all the time and they need to see the non ingnorant perspective of this.

    you could say im a honda and jdm "nutswinger" or whatever label me however you want. but dont get me wrong i can definitley respect the power of a v8 and how fast they can be and everything but youre ignorant if you cant even respect how a FWD honda 4cyl thats swapped out and that they can whoop domestics.

    yeah dont get me wrong, some people can do some really ugly and rediculous shit to hondas to get some of the labeling theyve gained, but people have different tastes and points of views on how they like their car. but you cant tell me you havent seen a pretty ugly mustang before.

    not everything has to be big and heavy and be a v8 guys.

    i think some of you guys are just jealous and hurt that at some point in time a little civic hatch has pulled up to you at a light and kicked your ass all the way through

    honda and jdm is a different lifestyle and some people just like a different look. theyre lower, smaller, they handle tighter and dont want fucking leaf springs for a rear suspension.

    SAY WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO BASH HONDAS SOME MORE BUT IT JUST MAKES YOU IGNORANT.

    Econo cars with shit interiors and ultimately lacking in performance. Any car can be modded to the n'th degree to go fast in a straight line with money. For the most part they're a hideous car to modify. Of course there are a few exceptions but Civic's are not performance cars.

    i wasnt really trying to compare, just trying to say 4 cylinders can be quick, which was the case for most porsches back then... and a porsche guy shouldnt be bashing me on the point i was trying to make. but whatever. yeah. im 16 barely.

    I drive a Honda and its stupid shit like this that makes me want to get rid of it everyday. I hate being viewed as one of those kids who wants to race everyone and thinks my shit is fast because I had to swap it only to barely beat a car thats stock. You seem like one of those people.
    Your taste is your taste and not everyone sees the same way. Dont let comments people with different views or more intelligence make get you all butthurt because they dont like what you drive and stop making stupid ass comments.

    So honda is the only jdm import?? Why not compare something alittle more worthy to a v8 than a honda. Lets say a built 2JZ or 1JZ (Toyota). Or maybe a built RB26 (Nissan). Not your little honda motor lol, no hate toward honda, I love honda!

    DON'T BAN HIM YET THIS IS WHAT IA NEEDS.

    By the way how many older models are 4 cylinders Honda cock sucker? I hate Porsche, shitty ass German ill handling cars, they don't even win races, a Civic is obviously a MUCH better platform with it's front wheel drive and 1.5 liter inline four.

    Hmm Honda motors and The 2JZ and RB26 are on completely different levels. You can make 800-1000hp with 15K or less on a 2jz or RB and can stomp ALOT of shit! How much would it take to build your honda 4 cylinder to hold and run safely that much?? From what ive read, upwards 25-35K. Just make sure you say imports and dont put honda on a pedestal.

    No, my whole point is that people should respect how a civic or other jdm imports with not much money put in can be a quick fun car, with good gas mileage and can compare to some domestic "American muscle" cars. I got everyone. I sounded super ignorant. Honda isn't better than Porsche. and I think porsches are a lame excuse for a "super car".

    The only 4 cyl Porsche I know with out looking shit up is the 914 and the 912 I think..

    But whatever ban me.. Don't have shit to lose. I obviously have a huge rep.

    You're right, but Honda isn't performace based. That's still my whole point.

    Porsches aren't even rated as super cars, they're sports cars. So fail...again.

    Yes the 914/4 is a 4 cylinder and the 912 is, so is the 924, 944, 968. They're all a LOT quicker then a Civic though and not an economy based motor.

    Everyone knows a Honda can be made into a fun car, but comparing a Honda to a Porsche?
