First I think I owe the forum an introduction, I'm Rich and I own a 1990 Accord coupe EX with a Euro R swap and some other minor goodies
I am not new to Hondas, I had an 8th Gen Si coupe with I must admit quite a few expensive mods on it ( sadly this is the only picture I have of it still)
Anywho I figured I'd put my name and pics out there and strike up a conversation.
"No torquey, front-drive econobox should feel this ruthlessly precise. "Honda" and "torquey," are words not generally found in the same sentence. The company's high-performance four-cylinders have historically been jewel-like masterpieces with screaming redlines, but many of them would be hard-pressed to twist the lid off a pickle jar."
Copy/pasted this from a quote someone posted in one of the new ctr threads.
I always scratch my head when people talk about Hondas not having torque, especially since no one bothers to mention a car that does have torque. Surely most people would mention cars like the Supra and Skyline (or Corvette and Viper if talking about American cars) but then it's really an oranges to apples comparison isn't it? I can't really think of any other compareable cars that made much more torque than Hondas, an N/A 1.6 liter is only going to make so much torque whether it's a Honda or a VW or anything else. What are ya'lls thoughts?
