Taking this almost antique car and spoiling it with turbo? I don't understand this. There is not that many left in such a great condition.
Turbo's do not spoil cars.
It was not about turbo. It was about changing anything on a car that managed to stay stock in mint condition for more than 20 years already. It is almost antique. IMO you spoil it if you change anything on it.

I prefer to call it a touch up.. i mean lets take a classic victorian style house. lets say it is 100+ years old. things are deteriorating and will eventually fall apart. but if you fix those and leave the appearance the same classic victorian style then it is still the same house with a better feel.

Ok then Misha, you can live in your deteriorating house...i will be[sm=laughat.gif] when your house falls in on ya lol. Plus he said the car had to be road worthy. he didn't say anything about how the engine ran... but i am assuming that it runs fine cause it is a honda lol.

SWAP AND BOOST FTW!!!

LOL you can fix the house without changing it and preserve it in the original look and feel. I know, I know, we had the same attitude back in Soviet Union - we break everything and rebuid it the way we want... Turning of siberian rivers, etc...Different caliber, but similar thinking...
