well.. i see a nice looking B engine so the guy cared enough to get that d outta ther. he must like performance somewhat.. but let's just close the hood now. i see nearly $2000 invested in a hood, fenders, bumber, lights, fogs, adjustable lower spoiler.. probably more. that's money. besides, i stated the obvious.. there's money spent on that car. it wouldn't surprise me if it's got engine mods. you said it has a b-16. maybe it's you with the x-ray vision superman.

edit: b16, that thing could be a twanky for all you know.

just the exterior has to be a chunk of change. Even if it doesn't match.

B16s generally have the red cylinder head covers (which is what that car has) and you have heard all show and no go right? it is very possible that this guy spent the majority of his money making his car LOOK nice and did not do anything about the performance. That would be known as rice i believe.

he put a header, cam gears, ground kit, and a intake at least.. oh yaa and a ENGINE! that's performance in my book. type r's have red valvecovers. and there are more 1.8 ltr type r's then 1.6. at least in the states where there are no 1.6 r's (unless imported) he's got more performance than you.

K so

1) If you buy a USDM B18C5 you're dumb.

2) My valve cover came unpanted but it's black now, get the point?
