Honda

Honda is by far my favorite make of cars. Eco line, low, and easy to work on. Parts are cheap and they run forever. With just a bit of work they can look great too. Acura is Hondas performance line of cars. 

EJ8

The EJ8


This is the EJ8, or 1997 Civic Ex Coupe. It comes stock with the D16Y8 SOHC VTEC engine. This engine makes about 127hp and 107 lb ft of torque from factory. Its also my first Honda. I love this car, besides a low performance engine, its great. Ive added a Yonoka exhaust, Invidia test pipe, Megan racing headers and an AEM intake to the car so far and it runs great. Motor recently spun a bearing and im in the process of swapping it.

Import or Domestic?

Import or Domestic?

Age old question of are you a Domestic car fan; Ford, Dodge, and Chevy. Or are you an Import fan; Honda, Toyota, and Nissan. Me personally, I'm an import kind of guy. Big heavy machines are not my kind of thing, I like small fast and can hang a turn.
        Some of you domestic people might say my engine is bigger and I've got a ton of HP off the line, so what? I'd rather take a turn at 80 MPH than drag a car in 8 seconds. So now I ask you, Domestic or Import?
Favorite make and model?
