Welcome to the forums, my Integra LS DD is pretty much totaled so I am getting a S14 Zenki probably now. So I will be following you soon in terms of the crossover, though I was never a "Honda man" always loved the Nissans and was just stuck with an Integra.

I was just saying I don't know too much about Honda's, not saying you aren't a Nissan lover hah. They had a pretty fast Civic at the Redline Challenge at GTlive in Virginia earlier this month though, so I don't disrespect them or anything. Unless of course they are obnoxiously rice. You should come to GTlive next year, by far the most racing and hands on fun you can get for the price. Though Tarzan was a little wierd, he gave me a Pastrana poster that he signed with a picture of a monkey. Tarzan is a beast though.

Hondas are cool... except for the fact that they're wrong wheel drive. Theres nothing better than turning from a stop sign and feeling the rear let go a little bit at the end of the turn.

well there's the s2000 and the old s800 are rear wheel drive. there's nothing wrong with front wheel drive. with a proper suspension set up, a front wheel drive car can handle great too.
