    So you did a motor swap to get rid of the LX's 1.5L for the EX's 1.6L which to me don't make any sense. For the effort, you could've dropped in either a B16a1 or even a B18 (take your pick, VTEC or not). So only "upgrading" to a SOHC 1.6 don't sound like much progress.

    Hub caps? WoW.

    Hondas break as often as any other vehicle out there. Especially the trannies. So please ricer, preach that BS to some other Choir. You, kind sir, are the reason why no one like hon-duhs.
    the car came stock with the 1.6 vtec smartie pants. Btw, I can do my preaching on the magfinicant HONDA brand wherever I want. Lose the mazda (built by ford) and get a HONDA

    WoW. I hope you're kidding. You really must be remedial. I'm gonna let what you just said soak in.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Do not underestimate Mazda as a company. Maybe they've only made a handful of sports cars, but let me run soem things by you.

    Only 33% of Mazda is owned by Ford, and the sale was made 1991, my car is a 1987, Ford only supplies the base(worst) engines in the Mazda3 and Mazda6 and share a few electrical components. Also, a little seldom known fact, but Mazda has the most cars entered in races (both amature and professional) in the world. Mazda was the only Japanese manufacturer to ever with the 24 hours of Le Mans, with the 787B finishing 1st, 6th, and 9th place victories in 1991 and a the Mazda Lola T616 dominating the C2 class in 1984 with 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th place victories.

    Funny thing about my argument......... I use proven facts......

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Actually, those engines was built by Ford, but designed by Mazda and Cosworth. In stock form, they hold 13 lbs of boost. Cosworth makes all motor parts which gets over 200whp. Those motors (2.0L & 2.3L) is by no means crap.

    Well, still, Mazda is nothing to sneeze at.
