It has its moments where your like “Hey this thign seems like its got a little pep” but then you floor it and its not accelerating any faster then it did just touching the pedal a little bit. If you rev out the gears it moves alright for what it is knowing its a 1.5L with 109 ponies. It gets out of its own way on the highway, all that matters to me, I can overtake if I need to.

The fact that its a little slow makes it a lot of fun in the turns though

> There awesome cars. And if the motor ever shits the bed all you have to do is go to petsmart and buy a new hampster/wheel and you’re back on the road. But in reality one of the major selling points for me was the fact that Honda uses the L15 block in one of their outboard boat motors so sustained high rpm loads (aka cruising at 70 mph on the highway at 3K+ rpms) is something it can easily handle.

haha, does seem to be a stout little motor, before I actually agreed to buy it I was looking at the exact same thing, seeing it beeing used in boats and figured it probably takes a hell of a beating.

Haha, not even going to think about possibly doing ANYTHING performance wise to it, I did look into it a bit and I’m sure it would be a blast compared to the power it makes now, but sinking 3-4 grand into it seems like a waste, hey who knows maybe when I pay it off I’ll do it if I dont have something else by then and the Z is done

Just K swap it once you pay it off! There’s a youtube vid of a supercharged K20A3 fit and it looks like a blast lol. Or you know just drive it til the wheels fall off which will be a long time!

So, diden’t take long to do something to it, must be the ricer in me, that and the fact that every other fit I see has a senior citizen behind with wheel.

Got some Lamin-X fog light vinyl, not as dark as I’d like it to be, but I may just add a little duplicolor tint over the film, want to try to avoid spraying the actual fog light itself.

Also ended up picking up a Vibrant Axle Back for 100 Shipped, was somewhat worried as to what it would sound like as no one seems to have a sound clip or really mentioned what it sounds like, but I have heard vibrants on many other cars and they sound great, figured hey if I dident like it I could just sell it and make some money off of it…

Sounds pretty good, for a car with a blender for a motor it sounds pretty throaty (for a 1.5L 4 cylinder), was veyr worried about it being High pitched and raspy, but its pretty deep, and just loud enough.

Honestly sounds better then a lot of clips I heard of 300+ dollar Buddy club/Apexi/Greddy/Tannabe exhaust for the car, then again videos really don’t do exhausts justice… I’ll have a video clip up shortly

Not that loud at all, and not one bit, i was quite worried about that but hopped on 890 this morning and cruised at 65 and you can’t even hear it

That’s good. Vibrant is quality stuff. Fwiw, my stock exhaust is quiet at 65, but drones a bit at 70. The drone is gone by 73. Lol

Paint the can black or flat silver. It looks like wrinkly butt cheeks right now.
