> lets thing about this for a min instead of getting all emotional over JDM supremacy ;)… it makes no power, its a modern car so with all the safety BS the weight is only going to rise as it nears production (if it gets produced at all), it has current generation engine management which is a total bastard to get around including all the inspection hassles and with a driveline that expects 108hp and RWD so you actually have grip enough to break stuff, when you add the power so it actually performs like youll want to, youll be breaking stuff.

First, JDM supremacy? I DD a GTO and hate Civics.

Second, “safety BS”? See if you can convince your next of kin to have that put on your tombstone when you get into a serious accident in that reliant of yours. Safety is one of those places I can deal with vehicle weight gain. If you want to argue that small sporty cars should dump some of the power features and sound damping fine, but lets keep the side impact beams and air bags.

Third, you’re right, modern ECU’s are a pain, at least in NY and CA. There will be ways around it though.
