anywas.. i hate the srt4.. and its not the car it self ( i was looking into one b4 buying my si)
its 2 things
1) the owners.. they know its fast.. and most other ppl do.. but they honestly think its gods gift to the automotive industry .. but in that defense.. si owners are like that too :P
2) it looks like a neon.. plane and simple
the interior is ugly.. only thing it has going for it , is the viper seats and the boost gauge.. thats it.. thats all
and its typical american interiors.. most (if not all) are just ugly, bad fitment, and cheap
the civic interior is either u really love it.. or u really hate it (civic in genereal)
but the same (my opinon) can't be said for the srt-4.
this swap is pointless without some qm times, and also some track times, and that will stop this pointless thread..
personaly i love the sound of my car passed 4K, than again at 5800, and than again at 8500 RPMS
just boost and honda and i bet u would get just as good results (if not better) than the price a regular joe (like my self) would have to pay to get that motor in there.
ppl that do these swaps are ussaly shop guys that can get the motor for next to nothing, and labour is free since they are doing it
who in there right mind would pay to have this done???
someone with way to much money

That's not oil leaking! It's sweat, from all that horsepower!
