Do we need the horsepower?

[Gimpy Ric]

Nice looking Van Ric, Is it 4WD? The rims look cool.
Do you have a Nice system in it?

Peace,
Tommy

Its just 2 wheel drive with limited slip diff. I have the factory CD head unit with 6 infinity 2 ways, and an infinity Bass Link 10" sub with built in 200 watt amp and 10" passive radiator. It sounds good and plays loud on the cheap.

Here is the bass link:

I'm buying one of these for my Civic. Awesome subwoofer for a car.

A buddy of mine has an Acura RSX Type S with cold air intake, header, and a cat back. Pretty efficient and very quick. He's mentioned computer mods...

Probably K-pro. Sound right? That or Hondata.

Good one sheep...

If money was no object I would love to have one of those...

But as it sits, as you say, I have the same 0-60 and no payments !!!!
I can usually do a pretty good job of keeping it from tipping over...

Haha, true. Plus the North American version gets the lame GM Ecotec engine, not the K20A Civic Type R engine. Both 300 horse, but I'd rather have the Honda.

Very Nice!! I helped with a competition build in an astro van one time. Vans can be very awesome to build in. We installed 6 Cerwin vega stroker 18's. each 18 had 1000 watts RMS and all the caps and batteries weighted the van down so much we had to install air bags on the axles to keep the van drivable. The caps were fun to hook up one of the shop guys forgot to drain the caps before trying to connect them to the battery.....sparks flew
Metal battery bars that were used to connect all the barreries got burned on one end.....LOL it was a good time to say the least.

Thanks for sharing your pics with us Ric

Peace,

I'm not much of a fan of GM's smaller motors but guys are having a lot of success building that 2.2L for some serious power. GM has thrown a bunch of aftermarket support after it.

It is potent and reliable, but the Honda is just.... Honda. Revs to 8500RPM, and has a nicer sounding Exhaust and Intake note IMO.

Honda is my favorite car for sure.......
That I can afford anyway...

The electric one would be my choice, as i have driven very noisy automobiles all of my life. It would be cool to have power and quiet. Like the best of both worlds.
