What problems? If you abuse it, it will break. Only the 6-speed has issues when pushed HARD. The five speed has no problems.

^ he prolly feels like he should have much more hp

i'm leaning towards an srt4 but i'm not ruling out the bike because i really want one only time will tell

but i promised myself 2 things a few years ago, 1. i would never work @ fast food and 2. i would never own a honda xD

maybe i'll buy an evo or sti if i can pull of a heist, anyone wanna start a team?

Yeah in my dreams.

Prior to turbo i was putting down 116hp. Same dyno after turbo 164hp.

Brothers DA Integra prior to turbo was 96hp and after was 181hp.

Both cars at 5-6 psi.

He dynoed both cars for a college class project.

As I own two 400+whp cars and a motorcycle, I would say do whatever you want. The thrill of a fast car and a motorcycle cannot really be compared much. The best thing you could really do is trade in your car and get a fast car that you really wouldn't have to mod because from the sound of it, you just want some excitment. The turbo lancer would probably fill your need of fun, but for how long? A bike is a good solution, as you can pick a used one up for about $3000-$5000 thats really nice, but would you get tired of a super sport bike that rides like your being hit by a bat on the butt. I would pick up a nice car to DD, yet everytime I get in it, I am excited to go somewhere.

i might get an srt4, hopefully a 05 with around 20k miles on it, i would have to save some money first, if i get a serious change in heart and don't want to buy one then i will pick up a bike but i'm the type of person who will be trying to do wheelies a month after i get the bike
