So instead of catering to what he was asking you suggest a s13 - the most common car for tuners.

The sohc motor isn't what makes it quick - awd does that.

And yes, you should spend 180 on a new water pump, timing belt, accessory belts, etc. on the ej20. Those things are common sense with any motor.

And there is always better ways to spend money than on cars. Car a or car b. In the end it is up to the buyer, who says he wants anything exclusive.

And next time you should state that your comments are of opinion instead of calling the car slow as crap. Pretty sure the rs will destroy his friend's civic.


Also the suggestion of a sc300 or sc400 is a good one. Even in automatic they are fast and very smooth. The sc400 is the faster of the two.

I'm not really an asshole, but I play one on the internet.
